3 weeks in

I have been single for three weeks today. I don't really think that's much of a thing to celebrate. This is mostly an update on where I am on my goals, and what I've accomplished.

I woke up Thursday morning and decided that I was going to get a tattoo. I had been thinking about it for quite awhile, and it just seemed like the time to do it. The point in getting the tattoo for me was to break out of my comfort zone and do something that I have been afraid to do for awhile. Another one of those "What would you do if you weren't scared" moments for me. I had C's mom print off two pictures of roses that I had liked; one for the rose itself, and the other for the color I wanted. I also chose to have the quote "be love" put underneath the rose. The rose itself is a symbol of love and passion. "be love" symbolizes me. I am a very loving and caring person. I found the phrase very fitting for me in general.

Since I got the tattoo on Thursday, I have already decided that I will get another equally large tattoo on my left shoulder blade. I like symmetry, and I have chosen to get a pink peony. A peony is a symbol of good fortune and good health. It's also my second favorite flower aside from the rose itself. Who knows...I may just get a whole damn garden, just so that I'll have something beautiful without having to have a "green thumb!"

Yesterday, I took my placement testing for Blue River. I am not good at math, but this is no shock to me. I already knew that! Class schedules don't come out until November, so I have to wait until then before I can move further with picking classes, but I know that I want a degree in communications. I'm only halfway through my Peace Corp application. I need to write my resume and gather my volunteer information and previous employer information before I can finish it up. I'm in no rush though. I have nothing but time!

That's about it for now. Still reading Jane Eyre-I brought it to work with me today, so that will be my lunchtime activity! Have a wonderful day :)
