Such is life.
I do most of my deep thinking in the shower. I suspect this may play a small role in the neglect that has befallen my LiveJournal. ;( Poor little journal.
In other news, life is pretty good. I do have a few anxieties floating around right now, but on the whole, it all works out. I try to not let things bother me too much. After all, in my experience, I've found that things tend to work themselves out if you give them time.
I'm mainly concerned with school at the time being. This semester got a little bit of a rough start, as I found difficulty motivating myself to buckle down to my reading and studying. This will likely prove problematic as my first midterms approach (in the next two weeks). In any event, I'll do what I can and hope it's enough... and when it's over, it's over. If nothing else, I take consolation in that. ;P I always have.
There is also the matter of my portfolio, which is due February 15th. I need to finish selecting(/creating :x) the pieces for that between tonight and tomorrow... which is not ideal, but I don't have time to waste any longer. Then, at some point this week, I'll be taking photographs of my pictures with a kid named Brannon (from my art class last semester whom is also compiling a portfolio for application to the Graphic Design program). It is very fortunate how that worked out, because... I really wasn't sure how I was going to figure out the slide situation. Anyhow, after I take the photos, I'll go ahead and get them developed into slides and then I'll just need to finish the rest of my application... :X Eheh.
I reeeally need to work on my time management skills. On so many levels.
It's hard to believe that Xander is almost two weeks old. It depresses me to realize that despite this, last night was the first time I'd seen him since the day he was born. I wish I could be around more often. He's so beautiful and good-natured. :) Honestly, you couldn't find a more pleasant baby. And by the way Sean, you can tell your mum that Alexander Edward was 7lb 14oz when he was born at 5:01pm on January 24, 2007. :)
Still, there are some advantages is an advantage to living away from home. I really love how I'm so much closer to Spencer than I've ever been before. It is true that there have been times at which he has driven me right up the wall... but he's always been a real sweetheart. And now that I'm not within annoyance-range, he's just fabulous. :) And we get along famously whenever I'm home.
It's strange to be in a relationship. That still hits me every once in a while. :) I haven't had many relationships in my life, so everything is a crash-course. I feel like such a n00b. ;P But then I realize that everyone is ridiculous anyway, so why worry? :P But you know... this is one of those areas in which that whole living-in-Porvo deal is not my favorite. I wouldn't mind living less than 45 minutes away from Chris. It's less than ideal. But you know... it all works out.
And... as I mentioned earlier, life is good.
