Water Themed? Unintentional I Swear!

Well, I am back on the blogging bandwagon. Probably because I have nothing better to fill my time with. For the copious amount of readers who read my blog, I apologize that I had to start a "part two." I know what you're thinking... what happened to "am was" number one? Let's just say the blond in me forgot the password and after numerous attempts and hours spent trying to recover my password, I decided to give up and create a new one. Think of it as me being resourceful for making a part two, rather than me just being silly and forgetful. So, I thank you all in advance for bearing with me and putting it into your brains that you will now have to check "am was (part two)" for posts... hopefully much more frequent. 

So what am I doing with my life? Who the hell knows! I've been doing some soul searching and I would say my soul is still in "recalculating" mode. Things workout, things don't workout... it's all part of life. Until further notice, I just inform people that I will be homeless as of the end of July. No, I kid. Well sort of. I am getting kicked out of the lovely blue house on Campus Avenue that has served as my home base for the past four years. Through many Christmas parties, "pet" chipmunks, roommates new and old, hot summers and cold winters, I have enjoyed my time there. But, it is time to move out. No longer considered working towards my degree (yay, I graduated), I have to start growing up. Only a little bit though. If I have to move home for a bit, I have to move home. This is still to be determined. 

As my stream of consciousness continues, I really have no one purpose for this post. I would say this post kind of emanates my life currently. Somewhat all over the place, and not Dani like at all. Usually, I like to have plans, goals, purposes for rolling out of bed each day. No, I am not laying around eating bonbons (I still have yet to determine what a bonbon actually is), watching cheesy love films on the daily, but I really am not doing anything in particular right now. I've taken some trips, spent time with friends and family, begun depleting my bank account (also unlike me, but Mumford tickets were decently priced!), and now I'm blogging. How random! Oh yeah, and I started doing yoga... I'm obsessed. Hot yoga in particular. Sure, I get a slice of humble pie every time women and men twice my age whip themselves into head stands, but it's fun to challenge my body in a completely different way. And see improvements. I can finally touch my toes! Yes! I would guess that for the next month, my life will still be like a message in a bottle floating aimlessly in the sea, but eventually, that bottle (for those of you who didn't catch the metaphor, that's me) will find dry land and someone to share it's message with. 

What does this all mean? Many may think, "Dani, have you jumped off the deep end?" No, no I have not, I'm still swimming in the pool with numerous other recent college grads wondering... what now? I have options, and I am looking into options. I've done my fair share of networking and continue to keep all my options opened. Which, I am reminded every day to keep doing thanks to my oh so reassuring mother. Let me just say, thank goodness for her! Without my family, I might be in the deep end doing the "distressed swimmer" for all you lifeguards out there. Not a pretty picture. Lucky for me though, I'm still ok. Sure there are days when I cry and have minor panic attacks, but that's normal, right? It'll all work out in the end. It's just not the end yet. It's only the beginning. I'll get there. I've got to "just keep swimming," as Dori would put it. Ok, enough of the water references. I know, you get it. 

My apologies for the sporadic tendencies of this post, but sometimes I just need to write (or type) things out. Do I feel a little better? Yeah, a little. If anything, I am excited to finally be back on the blogging bandwagon and looking forward to remembering my password so I can continue this at a much more frequent rate. Until next time, I promise to keep afloat. I'm done, I promise.
