Truly rambling...
Can't remember the last time I updated *yes I know I can go check, but that's not the point.
A lot has changed I'm sure.
Essentials: Aiden is 1 year old, I'm single, & still going to the U of M full time while living at home.
I'm about a year and a half away from graduating, and what am I going to do then? Maybe become an ILS worker, focusing on families with children or children with special needs.
I really want to take an Abnormal Psych class, but I just don't have the time this semester. Hopefully next. I am SO ready to be done with French, I just... am not interested in learning a new language anymore.
I can't decide on my favorite TV channel: it's between Food Network (Chopped), History (Top Shot), TLC (Say Yes to the Dress) and Bravo (Top Chef: Just Desserts).
I'm excited for my hair to be growing back out. I am very glad I chose now to experiment and cut it extremely short. I know I would have always been wondering "I wonder what it would be like to have really short hair." Now I know, and I know I prefer long hair (though shorter is so much easier to deal with, and cooler in summer). Here's to hoping it grows back fast enough to be able to put it up somehow next year.
I've definitely become more of a homebody, and I like it. While I was dating Dan we went out every week and we'd spend a lot of time being social. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, and most of his, too. But I think I like staying home more. I'd rather have going out be spontaneous, rather than having a "date night", though that's what worked best for us at the time.
I've already fallen a bit behind in school, due mostly to being sick enough this week to go to Urgent Care, and I'm still sick now so that certainly doesn't help matters. I'm very fond of most of my classes and all of my professors. I'm just having some trouble with French, due to the subject matter and timing of the class (6:30-8:30pm 2 nights a week).
Chris and Cece are still my closest friends. I really wish I had more time to spend with Michelle, or I wish it was easier to get a hold of her. I might start just taking Aiden over there and hanging out on weekends if she has the free time. But sometimes I really do feel left out. When I don't have Aiden I have school & homework, or for half the week all 3 at the same time. And Cece, Chris and my other non-parent friends don't understand that I don't have the freedom that they do anymore, and it makes them not want to hang out as much. I hope when they have children they understand more what I can and can't/don't want to do.
I do still check LJ every once in a while -- mostly Adrian's because I like his 'recommended reading' posts. Sometimes I wish I could still see Alex's posts, if he still uses his LJ. But other times I know I probably don't want to, and it will hurt too much.
I feel like I don't get a break, which I don't really as my week is packed full, there's always something to do or somewhere to be. Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday are the only days I get off from school until Winter Break. How flawed is that? At least then I'll get a good 3-4 weeks before it's back to school and back to upper-level and writing intensive classes. Blah. I need to make an appt at Juut to get a massage.. that sounds amazing.
I got this new cupcake shell ice cream topping, and it's actually pretty good. And while I'm thinking of this watching Top Chef: JD makes me really want to bake something. Like a ridiculous cake, but I have no one to share it with, etc. I'd like to have a party or something sometime. Get people together to eat, hang out and play games.
Anyways, I suppose it's time to focus on some homework *yay multitasking! Wish me luck. :)
