Random update
Arizona turned out pretty fun. I came back sick though, and I still haven't thrown off the cough yet. The good news is that said cough isn't coughing up blood. At least, I never see any, so life is good. I think.
Next semester's the last one at ECC, come hell or high water. It's my first semester not living with my parents, so I'm kinda excited. I'm taking seven classes and a lab (you heard me, seven. As in, six three credit hour classes for eighteen, a four credit class for twenty two, and a lab for one and a half, giving me twenty three and a half credit hours) and I'm excited about at least two of them. I've got three classes most days (Monday three classes and a lab, and Friday only two classes) and an online class, so I'll be kept rather busy this semester. Busy is good. :)
In other news, Eddie'll be applying to grad school soon. The question is whether or not we're staying in Buffalo. It really depends on a few different factors. I'll have to start keeping an eye out for grad schools early, I guess. Yeah, I've got like a year and a half to two years left depending on how things get at UB and stuff, but I have no problems transferring undergrad school, and as for grad school, it shouldn't be too hard to find a decent Psychology program.
As for how life is living with the boyfriend, it's great. I feel like a grinning idiot sometimes. Like right now, I'm in bed with the lap top, and I'm just looking over next to me at him sleeping. And I can't help myself, I just have to smile. It's a really nice feeling, and one that I hope everyone experiences someday.
As for the other roommates, they're not terrible. Just depends on both the day and their current stupidity level. With school starting again, hopefully Bill will be all nice and distracted, so he won't encourage LJ to do bad things. LJ's usually busy working his two jobs and stuff though, so hopefully things'll work out.
Speaking of jobs, I may be working at Pizza Hut soon. However, Texas Roadhouse is hiring apparently, so I'm going to head down there tomorrow and check it out. That'd be a nice place to work - tips aren't bad, and it's right near my house. Huzzah!
My parents continue to be my parents. Sometimes they're fine, but just because I don't live with them anymore, it hasn't stopped them from doing something stupid like taking their issues out on me. Things haven't been going well with Tom's back, since January he's been into surgery twice. Coincidentally, that was the cause of one fight in July (the fourth to be exact, but I don't want to get into it). Meanwhile they're driving each other bonkers 'cause they're around each other twenty four seven. Once school starts, they're going to have a lot of issues, mainly that I won't be around all that often. I mean, I AM taking seven classes, plus when I get the employment thing up and kicking, when do they expect me to have time to come over and deal with them?
In more recent news, Eddie's grandfather passed away fairly recently. (Friday night I believe. We found out Saturday morning.) So we'll be in Orchard Park tonight, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night, and Wednesday for the funeral. Eddie's taking it as well as can be expected, he's a very strong person. I'm just glad that I'm here for him. He was an absolute angel when my grandmother died back around Memorial Day. At the very least, it wasn't a long and lingering death like my grandmother's was. I think the quicker ones are better, only because I think when you're clinging to some hope that the person will get better for so long, to finally have it die with your loved one....it just hurts all the more. I dunno. I don't claim to exactly be an expert on death.
I don't know. It's two thirty in the morning and I can't sleep. I'm getting kinda yawny right now, so maybe I'll try the whole 'sleep' thing again and see what I can't make of it. I've got a get together with some friends later this week that I'm looking forward to - my geekiness shall be appeased by Dungeons and Dragons. Eddie and I are thinking of starting up World of War-Crack, but if we do, it won't be until October. This is for two reasons. One, we'll have a better handle on whether or not we'll have time to do it, and two the Battle Pack comes out, so instead of paying for WoW, and then another forty for the expansion, we only need to pay forty for both. Huzzah.
Well, that's it in my little end of the world. Laters all.
