Working hard, or hardly working?
Hmmm... both I think. During the week, I work hard. ON the weekend? Well, I work, but not as much as I should on school stuff. Bad me. BAD! I did get my grading done though, and since I'm continuing Friday's lesson, no problems there. I did afterall, make the most stellar powerpoint ever known for identifying cell structures and functions. The entire bio dept. at the high school has been given a copy of it, and the other powerpoint I did about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Yup, do have to say, in spite of staying up till just past 1 am Thursday night, all my hard work is appreciated. And I think I will be a good teacher, even if I have the tendency to procrastinate a little. This never stopped me in college (U-M or Eastern), and I still always turned in excellent work. So, maybe some of us work well under pressure? right?
It's hard for me to spend a lot of time on the weekend on school planning and such. I do it almost all week Mon-Fri. Then I work part time too, Thursday night and Saturday. So, hopefully it's understandable if I slack off a little bit on Sunday days, and Friday and Saturday nights. I see my dear S, and I try to enjoy my "life" a little bit. Am I digging my own grave? Who knows. I'll worry about it when I die.
So, Saturday was Sweetest Day- that odious made-up holiday of Michigan (and maybe just a few other states) that equates to another minor, but later-in-the-year version of Valentine's Day. Silly? Well, sure the guys hate it. But I like it, just because it's nice to be thought of as someone's sweetie. For so many years, I was a big nobody! Anyhow... I didn't really ask for anything more than that we go and see The Prestige on Friday night. And I got my wish, plus dinner, so I was satisfied then. But S went one step further, and actually got me a couple pieces of jewelry I'd been eyeing last weekend with him. How sweet! (No, we're not talking expensive committment-making jewelry here.) I was totally surprised he'd thought to do such a thing! And it melts my heart to see that he does pay attention, and that he is so thoughtful. I love him so much! Someday he'll believe I'm being genuine when I say that, and not naive and inexperienced.
Today, we carved jack-o-lanterns for his yard, and perfected his costume for the party next weekend. Since the horror theme is no longer valid, we're free to change our ideas a little. There's at least 3 or 4 things he could be with his costume, but I think we settled on 1 now.
Mine I think will remain the same.
Eh... but I need to be getting to bed now. Debating whether or not to visit Mom tomorrow, before heading to Dan's. I need to get some work done! But visiting doesn't really allow that. So maybe not? Must think about it... She'll probably call anyway...
I am truly blessed, and I know it. It's hard to believe my life turned around so much in just a few years... I'm so happy now!
