First Post!

I have a friend, actually a couple of friends, who have blogs on this site. I debated about starting one for a while. I really love writing but I stop writing in my journal for months at a time. Especially when my life is most exciting (for example: when I'm in school again after being away for a few years or I have a somewhat new boyfriend and a lot to say about it) I just seem to let the writing fall to the side. Truth be told, I want to be able to post comments on my friends blogs!!! But I also think I can really share my feelings in here, even though at the same time the idea that the world can read it kind of freaks me out.
I've started going back to the gym and now that I have an ipod and a bit of will, I am finding it way less painful. I want to be able to do a lot of hiking this summer and really enjoy it. Being in shape to do that is going to help a lot.
I really want to quit my job. I make a couple dollars over minimum wage and I have school to pay for and I want to visit family on the prairies this summer. I'll probably be able to swing it, but it would just be so much nicer if I was making more money doing something more related to what I want to be doing. Oh, what I want to be doing is steel fabrication. But the job I have now is so close to home, just a 5-7 min drive and I can take time off whenever I want. It's so flexible and I am so close with my coworkers. I'll probably just stay where I am for the summer.
I'm not much for ending these things. I do this when I write papers too. I just finish a thought and then leave it without summing up. Yay blogging!!
