Today I thought I lost my phone.
I wasn't crying, but I am definitely shocked at how dependent I've become to my cell phone. Stupid technology!
Some people don't have a cell phone, and Sal is even getting rid of his.
I should try to go without cell phone for a week. HA! That is an impossibility right now because I'm waiting for this one school to call me back with information about a second interview. And it is my clock. I thought I was late for everything today, but really- I was ten minutes early. It was annoying.
I am really angry at myself for not doing such a good job in my classes. Well, that's a lie. I'm doing fine, but I haven't dedicated myself as much as I could and it's all because I don't have enough time to focus on any one thing for more than four hours straight. In particular, my monday night class is getting the most neglected because it's easy to not do anything until the following monday. And the worst is that I really respect the professor and feel the worst that I'm letting her down.
Tomorrow is the awards ceremony for being such a great sociology major. I feel guilty.
I also feel guilty when I eat ham sandwiches.
I have been listening to this one song by M.I.A., "Paper Planes" it is so addictive and good. I want to go ride a bike and listen to it over and over. Maybe I will. Never again will I be living in downtown Naperville with access to a bike that nearly killed me because I didn't break hard enough. Haha. Oh Naperville.
I am also tempted to listen to Hot Chip. But I can't help and sing aloud and dance to that so I shouldn't.
Another thing I realized? The hardest thing about being a parent I think, would be that you have to love your children even through the difficult days. The kid I babysit was super bad today- scratching me, pulling my hair, screaming in my ear, bossing me around. And I had to exercise the patience of a lamb even though I wanted to put him in a closet. I actually went and hid with his sister in the corner for awhile because he was being so horrible and I was sick of being abused by a 2 and a 1/2 year old. Ha.
Things coming up: Josh moves to NY May 22nd for a summer internship. Graduation is June 7th. I'll continue working at Barnes and Noble and babysitting because it's good money. Then I Visit NY in July! And then hopefully, I move to Chicago in August. AND I BETTER HAVE A TEACHING JOB IN CHICAGO OR SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD AND I'LL PUT MY MEAN EYES ON AND KEEP THEM ON.
