Over It

Alright. I'm pretty much over everything that was on my mind last night. I've decided that things could be much worse. I'm going to concentrate on working hard towards what I have to do to better my situation instead of bitch about said situation. So yeah- you won't have to hear about it.
_______
Today I picked up my guitar for the first time in a while. After messing with it for about an hour it became pretty damn clear that I've forgotten most of the songs I use to know. Which irritated me quite a bit. I should have never stopped playing it. So, I've decided to start practicing again. It's not like I have to learn to play all over again. I simply need to re learn some chords, build some strength in my left hand and dexterity in my right. Oh, yeah, and learn more songs. 


Also, I cooked up a nice new resume today. I'm going to copy/paste in onto here for your reading pleasure. Any feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!

Summary

I am and extremely self sufficient and self motivated individual. Always looking for new challenges and always overcoming them. I take pride in considering myself a well spoken character; in English and Spanish, for both are my native languages. I can speak, read and write both equally well.  My main priority at the moment is to obtain my college degree. It is therefore critical that I find a employer who is willing and able to have some flexibility in regards to my schedule.
