And I am not taking classes. Cuz I am done. I just get to sit on my ass until December, and then I get my degree...That's it. I do have to admit some nostalgia however. There is something to be said for intellectual stimulation...though i usually found most of my classes tedious and unoriginal. They were good for at least getting ideas in my head that I wanted to explore further outside of what the professors thought I should know. My continuing education is completely up to me now. I need to make assignments for myself so that my brain does not waste away. Especially since the only stimulation I seem to be getting from work is emotional. and it wears on me. I would feel awful leaving them in a lurch, but there are perhaps other opportunities out there worth exploring. And so I will. explore.
Otherwise, I am finally unpacking and cleaning up my apartment. I started with the bags of clothes that have been sitting packed for the last few months. All this did was point out to me how much clothing I have that no longer fits. This is discouraging. I can't afford new clothes...so I need to make the ones I have work. Which means either becoming very efficient at ripping and sewing, or losing inches around my waist so I can fit in to them as they are. I got a D in Home Ec. I have yet to lose more than 5 pounds after a year and a half of working out. I am attempting to change my eating habits and improve my grocery shopping habits. I suppose I dont really need to lose weight, so much as just mold the parts of me that make fitting into my clothes difficult. Or I could ask osujayne for help sewing :-)
In any event, the impetous for cleaning my abode, other than its' filthiness, is that I would like to see my kittens more, while not giving up my time with alpha264...which meant I needed to have the place in a state where we could actually move around, use dishes, have space to sleep and generally relax in. Oh, and so I wouldn't have to hang my head in shame any more as to the way in which I live.
I have made a small dent...but a dent nonetheless.
onwards i shall go
