So many worries. I am driven to the point of nausea every day. I just want things to settle down again.

I’m a graphic designer now – I’m designing and redesigning marketing materials for a company. I love it! It’s what I’ve always wanted to do.

I’m a cat lover, and I can vouch for the fact that black cats have the BEST personalities. Honestly, they’re so much fun.

(I miss my Silky so much!)

Is it just me, or are men a lot nicer than women? I find that most of the women I’ve met are competitive and bitchy. If they find something about you to be jealous of, they want nothing more to do with you. Guys just want to hang out and have fun.

Confession: I haven’t had a best female friend in years, literally. My real friends are all guys. I’ve moved around so much too that it’s been hard to maintain friendships. I’d love to finally make some REAL girlfriends.

I’ve been scarred ever since my driving instructor made me parallel park on a busy road. (This was 7 years ago!) The pressure was on and cars were honking at me. I want to get over this fear of screwing up and causing a traffic jam!

I’ve drank a mug of Stash green and white tea blend pretty much every day this winter, and I’m still doing it. It makes me feel great.

But each one has about 3 or 4 drawings in it. I need to do a lot more art and finally fill up a sketchbook!

I was a student in the UK, in Scotland. It’s one of the easier ways to get the chance to live over there. And, if you don’t like it as much as you thought you would, you can always go home when you’re finished with your education. You get to sample it for a few years with no obligations.

I lived in Glasgow for 2+ years as a student. Met my husband there. It’s a fun city. Takes a while to get used to, but when you do, you start to really enjoy it.

My very outgoing cat just passed away this summer at age 15. I believe he was part Siamese, judging by his loudmouth, loving personality. I have always wanted a Siamese cat because they are talkative and they love people, much like dogs. I plan to adopt a traditional (applehead) Siamese whenever I get the opportunity.

I’ve decided to become an OT instead.

If you mean the one in Scotland, I’ve done it—twice! It’s an experience like no other.

I’ve lived in the UK a total of 3 years for college. Living abroad gives you a totally new perspective—and it helps you appreciate just how good you had it back home too!

New Hampshire’s beautiful. I love the mountains and the clean air. It would be great to live there! (Plus, it’s cheaper than Massachusetts.)

I am taking a few teaching courses this fall to decide if I want to do a Masters in Elementary Education. I can be shy, so I often wonder if that’s a drawback.

I have boundless creativity and I think it would be fun and inspiring to teach. By December I should have a better idea of what teaching will be like. I’m looking forward to my classes.

Tying the knot has made my husband and I feel spiritually bonded in a way we’ve never felt before. We are both incredibly happy we went through with it, despite how nervous we both were about the wedding.

Marriage is a wonderful thing, but make sure you fully understand what you’re in for first. It’s a lifelong commitment, not a passing phase—so choose wisely!
