mere

My past six months

I've been working 45+ hours/week
...and taking care of my babies (two cats, two snakes)
I've moved to a new apartment
I "nested" in said new apartment
I've completed a composition course (A)
I've taken a microbiology course (A+)
My boyfriend moved away to LA
I have struggled with some depression due to not having him around
I studied for and passed a professional/technical certification exam
I have had friends come to visit
I had a threesome
I tried to patch things up with my brother & his SO and ended up making it worse
I took a week vacation to drive down the coast with my parents and visit my extended family
I celebrated my quarter-century birthday
My boyfriend had surgery
I applied to EIGHT colleges of veterinary medicine
I've been finding excuses to get out of my lonely apartment
I've been flying down to LA every other weekend to see my boyfriend (he travels the opposite weekends)
We've been going to Disneyland every weekend I'm there
I took a composition & literature course
I have been waiting impatiently to hear back from the schools (not till January! )
I made a dress from a 1957 Vogue pattern
I toured SF and Sonoma county with the in-laws (I love them!)
I got an early invite to interview at one vet school


So, not to make excuses, but I've been pretty much running around like... well, you know.

I admit that I haven't been particularly active around here during all of this, but I just want to say that I love SG for being my little reprieve from frenetic activity - I still come here and try to keep up with the goings on as much as I can. And thank you so much to my SG friends who've been so supportive through everything. I do love hearing from you all, even when I take a little while to reply!



And, up next...

More of the working, of course
A shoot with Lorelei in the desert this weekend (Yayyy!!! SO excited!!!)
Time off between Christmas & New Year's
Vet school interview(s?)
Organic Chemistry II (ugh - kill me now!)
A course in Public Speaking




And, finally, pictures of me in the dress I made. We were going to my company's fancy-schmancy holiday party, which was "Old Hollywood Glam" themed - I tried to pull off some semblance of the '50s Audrey/Grace/Marilyn sort of look (hah! )
