Once upon a time in a land far away, a woman was in labor about to be blessed with child. This was not her first child so this was not a new experience for her. As she went through the different sensations that a woman undergoes when she is bringing life into the world little did she know that the different moons, stars and suns in the universe had aligned themselves into a new zodiac year. As the child came into the world welcomed by his new family, the universe blessed him with a pioneering, free spirit, intellect laced with impulsiveness. The Universe through a human vessel had brought the Acolyte back into the world once again!
Anyway cheeky origin stories aside, it's my birthday today! I am now one year older. The years go by so fast I must say. How is my life plan going? Other than starting my Master's 2 years late, I'm pretty much on schedule especially for the fact that waiting helped me get an Assistantship so I was able to zoom through it in a year and a half as opposing to having not gotten one; come earlier and having to work my ass off. So in terms of education I am more or less on schedule. I really don't see myself doing a PhD at this point in time, I'd rather focus on my career and finance this point in time. I am behind in the investments part of my life, I did expect to be much further but I do have some good plans in mind that I will put into motion as soon as I get my career on track this year. Relationships? You have been here most of the way during the last 2 years. Other than no kids and no intentions for marriage soon, I don't have any other plans in that arena.
Some Acolyte trivia for you...........

8. The Acolyte plans to spend less time on-line

10. The Acolyte loves to refer to himself in third person and is gearing up to see what the next year of his life has to bring him. Remember people above all else....choose life!
