Just a Citrix Analyst lost in a world of Okies.
Well, it would appear that Just OKaleigh is here to stay! I received my first assignment today (as noted in the photograph) and, of my top 7 choices, it was my number 1 (hence the goofy grin). I’m truly thrilled for the position. It’s going to be challenging but fun, and I’ll get a chance…

Strength!
I’m going back to taking care of this ol’ body of mine. I started a strength training program this afternoon following the job fair at work and boy(!) was it tough! I’m feeling very excited and hopeful. I enjoy strength training and it, in combination with low-intensity cardio, should help me to build those sexy…

BIG Things are Happening!
Reassuring words from my spirit animal and personal favorite philosopher, Winnie-the-Pooh, “If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember: You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be…

General Update on Life in OK!
So the job list is out! Turns out most of the positions are here in Bartlesville (3 Houston, 2 Anchorage), so I’m getting used to the idea that my first position will likely be here. Not complaining as it’s a neat little city with all kinds of activities and non-profits and whatnot. It’s low-key, which…

Find out why
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” –Mark Twain There are easily a million reasons why I love Mark Twain, but not a single one of them has any part in my appreciation of these words. It’s hard to imagine my…

Priorities
Almost every morning, my alarm goes off, at which point I make an important yet negligible decision: I either reset my alarm for an expertly calculated wake up call sweet spot (rigorously developed by taking the square root of the number of hours I slept subtracted from 8 and multiplied by the number of things…

On Holiday
My, oh, my! This has been a wonderfully eventful uneventful fourth of July break! It started on the 4th with a 3:15 am wake up, load up, and drive out to the Tulsa International Airport. From there, a brief layover in Dallas before I finally got my butt back to A&M! Daniel and Collin picked…

I don’t care what you think, as long as it’s about me.
Every day, maybe even on a minute-to-minute basis, my opinion as to whether or not I care what people think shifts, on a spectrum, from anywhere on the far right to far left (no political implications meant, so don’t read into that). Sometimes I even contradict myself based on what I want to believe and…

Update!
Oh! Minor update: So I’ve started looking at houses a little to buy in the event I end up here in Bartlesville. So far, I like what I’m seeing! The jist is basically if you’re willing to settle for older homes, you can get unnecessary square footage. This is exciting for me, obviously, because I’m…

Finish what you started.
Somehow, there’s nothing going on a whole lot going on all at once. This is what Daniel refers to as me “putting too much on my plate,” but sometimes my brain goes off on these tangents and thoughts just kind of flow freely. Here’s the thought process: I love beautiful things, particularly art and music.…
