Scullie's World: Cha Cha Changes

Sitting here listening to David Bowie's Changes makes me think about the changes that are occurring in my life right now.

It's been a HOT minute since I've written last and so much has happened! I completely and utterly failed my 30 day challenge! I'm so bad with commitment, just ask anyone who knows me well at all and they will tell you I have had three majors, thought about going to every post-grad professional school there is, I'm always changing my hair color, genre of book I'm loving, how I dress, do my make-up. It's kind of annoying, but also refreshing in a way.

I know I have finally reached my decision on my career choice though. I have decided to get my dual Master's in Secondary Education and Reading Education, my certification as a Literacy Coach, and hopefully one my PhD in Reading Education. Hopefully I can use my dissertation as a basis for creating ideas for my nonprofit organization that helps with the fight against illiteracy. Reading, books, words, anything that really has to do with literature or the combination of words in some kind of fashion is my passion and I want to share that passion with the world.

I finally got a library card from the Faulkner County Library!

Can I get a what, what?! I've been using the CRAP out of this card (and it's doubly awesome bc it's pink >.<)

I am going to Texas next weekend, it will be the first vacation I have been on in a while so I am looking forward to it. Plus I'm getting to see one of my favorite family members ever, my Uncle David. Seriously this dude is super rad!

Work has been super hectic, but I work with some pretty super peeps so we have been making it!

Going back to the changes that I was referring to early in this passage stretch past just my education, the changes bleed into my personal life. I am mostly thinking about my relationships with people; this isn't necessarily a negative thing. I would like to improve my relationship with my family; I am mainly thinking of my relationship with my sisters, my grandma, and great grandparents. I don't see them enough and I would like to change that. I want my relationships with my friends to be better; I need to talk to them more often and make a point to hang out with them, enjoy their company like I did in college.

Needless to say I am needing to make a lot of changes in my life, but hopefully I have time for that.

I am thinking about adding some things to the blog, like a book review every week (trying to spread the word, no pun intended ;) ) I started a book club, so once that gets started I'll be adding that segment, maybe if you are in the area maybe you might want to join :)

Fall is so close and I cannot wait for it to get here already!! I just bought a super cute sweater at F21 today and I can't wait to wear it! (pic below)

Mine is navy with coral stripes though! Super-dee-duper-dee cute! I love Fall, it is hands down the best season of the year. Plus my favorite holiday is during the Fall (Halloween :) )

Here's some of things I'm currently crushing on that remind me of the Fall:

These shoes remind me of two things about Fall. Last Fall I took Irish Literature, with one of the best professors I've ever had and it was my favorite class I ever took in college. So the color reminds me of the class and also because my professor would wear converse frequently, I honestly don't think I saw him wear any other kind of shoe.
