Detour

So, I didn't tell too many people a certain something that happened recently, for good reason of course. I started working toward taking online classes to get my Associate's Degree, majoring in Web Design & Interactive Media. I found out this morning that they could not set up any loans for me because my previous student loans were in default.

At this point, it will require me to voluntarily make payments for at least 6 months to be in good standing and to be able to get financial aid for the classes. I was a little bummed about it, but this is just an opportunity to take responsibility for my actions (or lack thereof in the past) and try to set things right.

I'm a very optimistic person, so I consider this to be a temporary detour rather than a dead end. It would only remain a dead end if I sat back and did nothing about it, however.

Procrastination has to come to an end or else I will get no where. The excuses that have become a close ally to procrastination have to end as well. No more self-created roadblocks. Time to hit the gas and take the roads I need to take, no matter how bumpy they may be.

That is all. Have a great rest of the week, everyone! :)
