Starting off...

--I read my friends blogs quite frequently... and so I have now decided that I want to ramble/vent about my life too.... maybe they will read mine like I read theirs

So, I have recently graduated from college, passed my state board exam, and only work 3 days a week..... which has left me a lot of time on my hands that I am not used to. Actually, it is going to sound weird... but i kind of hate it. Since, I feel like I sit on my butt a lot. Dont get me wrong, I love having time to myself and to relax.... but most of the time I want to be productive and do something with my life. I remember in highschool, I was SO involved that I barely had time to sleep. The thing was, I managed it and all those things that kept me so busy were awesome. They have left me with some great memories. SO... I have decided to make a change in my life and to push myself to be more productive/involved.

First thing I am going to start doing is joining a book club. Well, actually forming my own book club together. I love to read and so do some of my friends. (Aka. book club!) I'm excited! There are so many books that I want to read :)

Second, I am going to take on sewing. I know it sounds so old lady-ish and you might ask "who actually sews anymore?"  Well, soon you can add my name to that list. Nursing scrubs are expensive. Plain and simple they shouldnt be...and I will not be spending my money on something that I can make for much cheaper. So that will be first thing I am going to learn how to sew, Navy blue scrubs for work.

Third, I want to learn how to cook/bake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE food. And enjoy it so much. But at this point in my life someone has always been cooking for me (aka. my daddy). Since, I have moved out I crave delicious meals.... but my lack of skills dont really turn out anything good. So, I am going to look into taking a cooking class somewhere.

Fourth, Due to my living location (downtown StL) I am going to be taking a self defense class. Just so that I feel better about my self, my boyfriend will let me go out alone at night, and because it is basic knowledge I feel like every girl should know.
