I got my letter from the communications department. I didn't get in. I spoke to my comm advisor and he said there was very little chance I could get in. So I'm changing my major. Sociology. I can take the pre-reqs next quarter and declare in the spring. I should still be able to graduate on time. I'm thinking about taking summer classes again this summer just in case though.
Ian's coming home tomorrow, I can't wait to see him. Things have been so much better and amazing since we got back together. He cares about me so much and he's so sweet. Last weekend he brought me flowers :-) He also invited me to spend Thanksgiving with his family, so I won't be home for Thanksgiving. I was riding the fence on whether or not to come home in the first place since the Apple Cup is that Saturday, it wouldn't make much sense for me to come home Wednesday and leave Friday. Now I have a better excuse. I haven't seen his parents since he left for school, but they like me. The only major issue we've had is that his parents won't let him stay the night with me. The last weekend he was here he called and told his mom he was spending the night and she said "No you're not, you're coming home." She's kinda old fashioned, and frankly, it's annoying. So he's not telling his parents he's coming up this weekend, so he can spend the entire time with me. He talked about it more with her and he said that she'll probably let him later, just not now. Which in my mind is ridiculous, he's an adult, he goes to college. But he's also the baby of the family and her only son, but c'mon people!
I've completely scaled back my hours at work, I put in for less hours Monday, so hopefully I'll be seeing that on the schedule this week. My manager had me working 15-20 hours a week!! Add that with my other job and I'm working 30 hours plus going to class full time. I just can't take it anymore. I did that last year, and I just can't anymore. I need time to work on my school work, and to be able to rest. I've had this nasty cold for almost two weeks, and it hasn't gone away because I haven't had time to recuperate. I had to call in last night and tell them I wouldn't be able to work. I had to work the night before and it was all I could do not to pass out from sheer exhaustion. So I'll only be working two nights a week now, Mon/Tue, which will be nice because I'll have the rest of the week and the weekend to work on more important things. Plus since I have weekends off I'll be able to go and visit Ian. He's been here the last three weekends, not including this one. So four weekends in a row, and I feel bad. Now I'll have the time to go and visit him, which is way more fun that working.
I'll be home for Christmas, I promise. The plan right now is to go to my dad's the 20th-22nd, back to Kalama on the 23rd, and stay until the 28th, be back in Seattle on the 29th. We have to have an Applebee's night, I fully expect one when I get home. Can't wait to see everyone!
