St. Patty's Day tomorrow

Feeling a little overwhelmed and depressed today...  I was hoping to see some green but instead it's snowing.  A little more green a little less white would make my day... Maybe tomorrow I'll go out and see some green... It is St. Patty's day and that should be a spirit lifter. I hope

All roads lead to green... I think.

Green has always been my favorite color. Being 22 and a college student in today's world has made me look at green in a new way. I'm talking about eco-green and sustainability.  I started doing research, research, and more research.  I had already chosen a career that will make me a barely livable wage especially in Maine. Our new governor seems to think that life will just go on with educated people making crap. Guess its time to find another solution to living a life I want within actually below my means.  So after I graduate next year with a Bachelors degree and 75k dollars in student loans I get to continue trying to figure out what I'm gonna do.  I'm gonna go one step further and say I have expensive taste. I can give up expensive clothes, and foods, and I don't need a new car.  I cannot however figure out how in the world to give up horses.  

I've done all the research and I think I want to build a tiny house... I'll know for sure after the summer...  My mom however seems to think it's all a joke. She is under the impression that I'm too messy, and I cannot handle the space... I say why give Miss Messy all the space in the world. No matter what I'm going to be messy.  Then we have another problem... I have almost no money, and I definitely have no building skills. So before I go there I have to get my mom on board. For now I'm finishing my semester at school and planning my campsite at home. I plan on tenting for the summer; it will be me by bunny and the great outdoors... 

I've come to the conclusion that I just might be able to stay close to the horses as long as I give up all but the basic necessitates. This summer I do green by downsizing... Maybe next year I'll start my tiny house.
