I'm getting so terrible at posting here.

I feel like I'm ignoring a piece of my life by not blogging....yet....it's just not riding that high on my list of priorities. I miss it like hell, miss all the people I used to visit, though I do some silent stalking of my favs from time to time. Silent stalking feels so much like spying or eavesdropping sometimes...however, many times when I visit it isn't as Islandgirl and well, I could leave a comment, but it means..well, you know.

I've left comments as my alter ego by accident a few times and that makes me a bit nervous....

Why is that I wonder?

not important.....

SO......

life for Islandgirl is progressing....onward and upward, albiet at a slow pace! Hard to believe it's been a year now since I left those beautiful islands behind. Pink was speaking to me then, now it seems to be Keith Urban. There are some parallels there.

Amy (bbygirl) was pondering and trying to figure out what I was doing in school....no I wasnt' being cryptic (who me? cryptic? never.....lol)....I didn't really say anything about my program. I won't specify it, but I'll give you a bit of an overview....

I'm doing a program that is an introduction to Trade and Technical programs. We have the opportunity in this program to try out about 12-14 different programs. Some of them for a week and some will only be for a day or so. So far it's been awesome. I still have a couple more to try that really interest me, but I'm seriously thinking of millwright.

Does that seem a stretch from business or animal technology?

It does in some ways, but I've always loved mechanical stuff, and it's a trade that gives one the opportunity to do many different things, little bit of welding, little bit of machining, lots of mechanical problem solving....and sooo much more.

Honestly, I havent' tried too many things in my life that I didn't enjoy....and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I haven't tried many things that I found to be so difficult that I was discouraged.....well all right mixing colors is an issue for me....but that's a whole other story!

I've learned alot about myself in this program...well not just in the program but also in the almost two years I've been doing the islandgirlinprogress thing (holy crap, I can't believe I've been doing this for that long).

I know I'm a bit introverted...that's not a bad thing, I walk to the beat of my own drummer and I'm content with that....I don't need too many people in my life, quite frankly too many people around and stuff going on drains me. I like to socialize, but I like it to be smaller and more intimate gatherings for the most part.

I know I'm an easy going person, not too much fazes me. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not walking through life with blinders on....I'm attempting to reach out to people I don't know a little more. It's not that I'm shy, I just don't tend to let too many people truly inside.

Does that sound ironic since I say so much sometimes in this blog?

ah well...

I've said it before, I'll say it again.....

life....
