SURPRISE! I’m still here–reviving an old flame as I am considering my future. I’m not even going to give my typical explanation. Haha! Life is a crazy rollercoaster of experiences. I’ve still been attempting to write here and there, but haven’t been able to consider On The Write Track in a while. So, let me give you a “me” update first! 

1. My sister is getting married! YAAAYYYY! I’ll have to admit, this has been a HARD change. I’ve had my sister nearby all my life. We are really close, and have a great relationship. At the end of March, I lost her to Birmingham, Alabama, where her fiancé lives. This has been a big personal adjustment. I’ve flown down once over spring break, she came up here for her wedding shower, and I will see her again in just a couple weeks for her bachelorette. (Which is going to be so much fun! Hehe) I’m considering writing a blog post soon to help those of you who also have experienced losing a close friend/ family member to distance. 
2. Work is a crazy world. I am currently a substitute teacher while getting my Bachelor’s degree. I love it–truly! I love working with the kids and building relationships. As a building sub, I get the unique experience of working in the same building every week on a set schedule. While I have greatly enjoyed my position, it’s led me to question where I want to end up. Originally, I had planned on Early Childhood and settling in a kindergarten classroom. Lately however, I have begun to consider a few other options while still working with kids. Careers are so hard! The stigma is to pick something and stick with it your whole life, and while I know that is not required, the bills still have to be paid, and I would like to enjoy my work and have time to do the things I love. While I originally thought otherwise, teaching isn’t very flexible. I’ve considered moving and seeing new places, but I’m very attached to my friends and family. 
3. College! The place you pay to work so you can work and get paid. I had to take the spring semester off. Mainly because I refuse to get a loan currently and I am paying my own way through college. It isn’t cheap. I’m glad for the break though, as I mentioned earlier I am reconsidering my degree plan. Maybe I am just a different sort of human but I have changed my degree plan, or considered changing it time after time, after time. I have my associates, but that pesky bachelor’s just seems so elusive. That’s something I’ll have to keep you updated on–who knows where I’ll end up! 

Now that we’ve caught up a little bit, let me ask y’all a few questions! Do you like this life update style blog? Would you be interested in a “How I Cope With Change” post? Do you want more from “Rescue Me”? What writing advice or pieces would you like to see from an author standpoint? Would you like a post with my personal struggles and stances on mental health? Let me know! I’m eager to see what y’all want! Until next time!
