where were you 5 years ago...1 year ago...now

[Sijray21]

just wondering what everyone else was doing?

5 years ago...

I was waiting to hear from JMU, Northeastern, and ODU for my acceptance to their institution. I was still in high school and in the playoffs for my Varsity Baseball Team. We placed 2nd to Yorktown HS and I think we lost to McLean in our first regional playoff game. I had a girlfriend named Crystal and i was looking forward to Prom. Giggity, giggity. I was also planning a beach trip with my friends to the outer banks for Senior Beach Week. Forgot about the car: Driving my Honda Civic Si.

1 year ago...

I graduated from JMU after spending 3 incredible years there. Looking back at what i've accomplished and thinking about what i was looking forward to. This was the week where people went back to class for May Session and i was left sleeping, playing video games, vegging out in front of the TV, working on the car, drinking a LOT every night, and not caring a bit. This was the time where i was unemployed and loving it. I had plans to look for a job and didn't really start this until June. In the mean time i was also planning a cross-country trip. Still driving around the Honda Civic Si.

now...

i'm working at CSC and have been fully employed for about 10 months. I've been learning a lot about the consulting industry and i'm still questioning whether i want to remain here next year or leave sooner. I bought my first car (out right) - the '98 Acura Integra. Thinking i was going to track it, i bought the RS model. I shifted my track ideas to the VW, but have yet to accomplissh anything with it due to a lack of interest at the moment. I now have a 600rr and i love every minute i'm on it. I'm also trying to pay off my debts and save more instead of going out as much as i used to.

1 year from now...

i hope to have moved up in CSC or to have moved to another company, possibly a different industry. i hope to have all my loans paid off - including my motorcycle loan. I'd like to start to make my transition away from the DC area. I'd like to move to the San Francisco Bay area or the LA area. I hope to have the VW chassis ready and able to take to the track at my leisure. I'd also like to lean out a bit, i'm quite out of shape.

5 years from now...

I hope to have bought my first home. I hope to have the VW with a new engine, complete set-up for a track car/weekend toy, and i hope to have a new car and possibly a newer motorcycle (ducati model of some sort ). Maybe i'll meet a nice chick to spend some time with as well. The car/motorcycle will probably take a back-burner to the house. I also would like to explore possibility for earning an MBA. I also want 6-pack abs baby!

all that calls for motivation that i need to find...
