All you need is to put in a little effort--begin to see results!
All you need is to put in a little effort--begin to see results!
Sometimes it is an effort to stay grounded. This is why I make it an effort to have the right friends around me. I find that the company that you choose to keep around you will influence in some degree your actions as well as thoughts. My Personal Quote: When I feel too relaxed, I really start to appreciate the people who I choose to surround myself with. They are people who are ambitious,intelligent, and individuals who continously strive beyond their own expectations. They're not just dreamers--that's when I quickly get back on course.
This year is going by really quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was enjoying the Bahamas with my family in January. I miss them sooooo much sometimes. I consider my family my protection and in some cases my security blanket. This year has been an adventure so far because I am starting life by myself on my own and it is great.After graduation this past May of 2008, I decided to enroll in grad school at Rutgers and take on a few classes. Last semester I worked while taking Advanced Topics of Cognitive Neuroscience: Pain and Pleasure & Systems. I did okay earning an A and B respectively. I enjoyed my class-mates and our discussions. It was such a great experience. Currently, I am taking a kaplan course now and studying for several major exams. Recently, I was choosen to do a documentary in New York which will air on the DISH NETWORK. I will start orientation very soon (3/14/09), I will make an update about it when the time approaches.
I promised to reveal parts of my own vision board from the last entry. Basically a vision board is a board that has clippings of things you wish to do or desire in life. What is the point? Well, for one it acts as a daily remainder of what you plan to do and I feel its great to always have something positive. Here are some snaps:
Pretty Right?, It has a lot of space left.. I don't think it will ever be complete. I also expect my vision board to change as I grow.
I feel like moving out west or down south sometimes.. when I wake up to this:
Photo was taken outside of my apartment. I wish the sun can come melt it all away. I want to go back to Florida!

 | This past weekend I went to a friend's party.I wore the aside dress in black ( I may just go back and get it in pink).I never really go out to parties anymore because I am so busy. I did enjoy myself at the China Club a lot I may go again around my birthday *shrugs*. This year has been the year of saying YES YES YES. It has resulted into a much happier "Amanda". Don't get me wrong I can say no. I have found that life is way too short to add a series of WHAT IFS and HOW CAN into my own personal equation of happiness. I rather just subtract those out and enjoy my life my way. |
