Well things have been going swimmingly now that I have somewhat of a well thought out plan on the next few years and the rest of my life.
To start the car i bought about 18 months prior died. Just paid my parents back for it in time to be rendered carless by fate. But that spurred me to start saving money and in astoundingly short order i was about to save about 2000 in almost weeks, planning to get to about 3000 or so by the middle of December. It literally marks the first time in my life i have nothing i need to spend money on so i can save about 70% of my weekly pay. It feels good thinking i can actually save my money and this makes money seem like something easily had if i try.
I have also gotten very into gemology. I have always liked gem stones and planned on collecting them along with elements as part of my whole "life of loving chemistry" after all what are gemstones but a chemical compound? So I got my first one in and knowing nothing of carats and how small they actually are i received a tiny peridot along with a decent sized citrine. I keep the Peridot on me (its that small) all the time as a sort of good luck charm. I plan on taking appraisal and gem classes so i can hopefully travel the world and buy sapphires, which are one of my favorites, and diamonds because they are commonly traded. I figure i literally look at them because i think they are pretty what better use of my time then to get paid to look at pretty colored things. I am going to start with a cheap online class but really theres a few nationally recognized institutions i am going to look at for classes.
I am still working toward going back to school for chemistry and having it be a formality. I actually purchased a microscale lab (well depending on what one considers to be a "lab" its 3 by my standards... crazy value like 25% the true value) next i just need a college text book on real lab experiments from a real university to do at home. I also need to get a very easy algebra text book to see where math gets hard so i can hopefully sharpen those skills. The way i see it is i want to be enrolled again by the fall semester of 2018... i got some time but not a lot.
Chemistry is a passion i would love to make it into a career and legit source of income but thats not as likely as trying to work with gemstones in some fashion. I like gemstones because of their chemistry so in that way it makes sense.
Also one of my oldest friends moved up to my state from FL so its nice to feel like i have a trusted friend around again, until recently i hadnt seen him in almost 8 years. Its actually nice having someone I can chill with where the relationship has never been a buyer/seller or party style one.
Needless to say it seems like things are progressing forward. Everyday is full of new opportunities and i am continuing to work toward the main goal... where i rule all of you, obviously bluelighter status will result in leniency
