So I thought that once I came home I'd have time to think and read and update.
Yeah right. I've got 15 credit hours of classes (though granted, 6 of those are for entertainment only - so I like learning) and ~20 hours of work, plus my sex ed meetings on Mondays with office hours on Wednesdays, and I'm now working the test site for the next month for a few hours on Thursday. That doesn't include the other outreach I'll be doing, or if I decide to pick up training at my regular job cause it's about time I start processing. (I get another raise if I do, sweet.) Yeesh. Great time for me to decide to be superactive, isn't it?
I really like all my classes so far. Except they're all reading-intensive which kinda sucks but I'll deal.
I lost my gloves a few days ago and in Nebraska's lovely 15-20 degree weather with the wind chill hovering around 0, that really sucks. I have to buy a new pair before tomorrow night when I have to go to class. I tried to drive to work the other morning, which is about 5 minutes away, and by the time I got there my hands were so cold I could barely grip the pen to sign in. Ouch.
That's really about it. Scored a copy of Oblivion game of the year edition for $20, so I'll be playing that in the spare time I have which isn't being spent precariously hanging out with my boyfriend. It's hard to adjust from more-or-less living together to working around our ridiculous schedules again. It'll be even harder in the fall when he goes back to school, or in the spring when he's in his last semester (hopefully) and I'll be student teaching. So I guess I better buck up and stop whining now, cause it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
I also am creating a budget cause I need to find some way to be saving money for more dental/car emergencies than I have right now, while feasibly eating away at my CC debt that was supposed to be killed by my scholarship monies but we all saw how THAT worked out. I think I can get all my current school bills paid off by mid-February (I would honestly be okay but damn, that sudden hit of tuition/fees/books/parking permit all at once from the school fucking hurts, even with financial aid) and then I'm going to really start throwing money at my credit card cause I hate hate hate hate hate debt.
Thinking about money makes me nauseous. Instead, I'm going to go read on modern theories of foreign language teaching, learning and motivation among adolescents, and feministic philosophical theories. And make food; being active seems to mean that I am constantly starving as well. yuck.

I wish I had the energy you had. In the fall of 2006, I tried to work and be a full time student, but that didn't work out at all.
