i guess i should update, excuse the length
summer is rolling on as i assumed it would, not lapses in time here.
i have one class period of astronomy on wednesday and I will officially be finished with the class on monday with the final.
my job paired with class is exhausting me, and even so, i have decided that for the next two summers i will be taking atleast 6 credit hours (if not 9-12) so i can gradute a semester ahead of schedule. if i had not dropped a 4 credit class winter semester, I would have been a junior after this next semester. but, i will now be a mere 3 creits away at semester. my own fault. if i didn't have a job, a relationship or a social life, i would just add another class for fall, but i have/want to keep the three above said things. since i won't have all the requirements for the business school at that point, it makes little difference, except i would like to be a junior before i should be. but, i'm planning on finishing entirely at the fall semseter of 09, or having everything except my internship done after that semester. i have numerous reasons i want this, and despite my fears now, i know i won't burn out. i know how bad i want this, i'm determined, and i have support.
as for other news, i'm looking for another job. one that is a little less demanding, closer to my apartment and a little more flexible with my awkward schedule. although i've grown to like it, on some days, i cannot physically, mentally or fiscally keep my job at marshall fields. i've applied to a couple food places on campus, including papa johns, and am keeping my eyes open for office jobs on campus as well. i would prefer an office job, seeing as the amount of walking/standing i due currently, is more than my already frail back can take.
corey and i are doing well. my 8-month curse has been broken. i don't think there's anything to complain about here, except possibly that his schedule for work is strange. but that will be a thing of the past this thursday, as it is his last day at that horrid place.
on monday, after my exam, Corey and I are going to see Coheed and Cambria. The tickets were his birthday present from me, and I think i'm more excited than he is. I haven't been to a show since Ben Folds, and that was far too long ago. As scheduled at this point, the next show I attend will be the Mars Volta and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in november. fingers crossed that there will be a few in between.
little by little the apartment has more and more life. this weekend tina and her parents made the trek down from the UP to bring most of her things. and if i'm not mistaken kate will be bringing some of her things within the next two weekends. gradual change (of this kind) is by far, better than instantaneous change.
the trip to west branch hasn't been made since the end of may, and that, i regret deeply. i miss my family more than i ever have. hundreds of glances at my photos of Gage don't compare to being able to see him; nor can the increasingly numerous calls to my mother make her any closer. the worst part is that, unless i get a new job within the next week, it's doubtful that I will be able to see them for a long time. if i still work at marshall fields around my birthday, i highly doubt i will be able to get it, or any time around it off. and after that, the first few weeks of school are too hectic to go back for the weekend.
i really need to do laundry as well.
