The Rising Sun

She was here, and now she's gone,
where I a more creative man, I could write a sad sonnet about it.
Lucky for you I'm not a creative man.

Having her here to talk to and bounce ideas off of was a great experience.
Our marriage is also a great source of motivation for me.
I have to become successful for the sake of my future plans.
We even constructed a 3 year plan while she was here, in an attempt to find out when the next time we would be able to see each other for a sizable amount of time.
It is similar to my old plan, only the chunks have been moved around and its been compressed thanks to one particular compromise; I'm going to quit my shitty job and become a full time student again.

Now, that is not to say I'm giving my 2-week notice on Friday, just that instead of working until i get my Associates, taking Phlebotomy classes, and working while I'm at PSU, finishing school in 3 to 4 more years,
I'm going to be quiting my job after I get my associates, and starting as a full time student at PSU. This has 2 benifits, 1) I finish faster, 2 years as opposed to 4, and 2) Full time students can study abroad, which I have always wanted to do anyway, and since I am in a position where I am handed these oppurtunities on a silver platter, I plan to take full advantage of them while I can. While some may say this is selfish, and taking advantage of my parents good will in paying for my college, they are open to the idea of my studying abroad, and I would never be able to do this one my own, and will probably never get a second chance at this type of experience, I have to bust through this window of oppurtunity.

The icing on the cake is if I got a new part time job at Airsoft Outlet NW, in their new location near downtown, I could work a handful of hours every week and take home a little spending money without it getting in the way of my school or playtime.

Of course, this is all just a plan, the only things I know for sure are that Sakie and I are now engaged, and that I am going to do everything in my power to seal the deal and marry this amazing young woman.
