the past few months of my life...
Whoa, i have not updated in forever.....life has been busy and full of new things. somehow i lost track of it all.
lot's going on so here's a synopsis:
-right now i'm really depressed and sad for one of my aunts, her mom was just give 2 weeks to live, and it really makes me sad.
-got a haircut, and it is pretty short, but i love it. Makes me lots more confident in myself.
-been really contemplating where my life is going, and I have decided that I will still graduate and be certified to teach social studies, but I am seriously considering going for my masters in anthropology, notably, cultural anthropology. I am hoping to go on an archaeological dig if not this summer, then next summer, and I have been making contacts in the area to get more information.
-been doing well in my classes, and I am very excited for this semester. I honestly love each and every one of my classes, and I don't dread going to any of them. This semester i'm taking: Western Civ II; Birth, Death, and Immortality; European Conquest of the New World, Field Experience: Social Studies TEacher Edu; and Intro to Cultural Anthropology. They have been awesome so far, and the future should be just as awesome. AND......i have no classes on wednesdays or fridays, which is awesome, although i do work, but it gives me time to do homework and just relax so i'm not so stressed out.
-steph and jane have moved out of the apartment and we have a new roomate, nichole who is in jane's old room. she's the shit, we love her. I miss steph terribly, well jane too, but we still talk everyday and such, so i'm not too lonely. i have my own room for now, which is actually kind of sweet, I de-bunked my bunk beds and have one huge bed, and am using steph's desk for my painting supplies and such.
-i have been tutoring a lot and working in the learning center alot doing desk assistant stuff, and i really enjoy it. I am tutoring 2 one to ones, being desk assistant 7 hours a week, doing walk in sessions once a week, and being the class link for 2 american politics classes. lots of stuff, but i'm handling it right now.
-saw my friends a lot over christmas break and worked at my home applebees which i missed terribly. I still miss it, but i hafta admit, it's nice being back up here at my manchester one too.
-i got a portable DVD player for christmas which i plan on using for my travels, and speaking of travels, i get to go to minneapolis for free in 2 weeks! I'm going to the NACA convention for CAPE, the club i'm in here at school, and i'm so excited! IT should be tons of fun. I am also going to Anaheim in April with BPA, and then last but not least, I'm going to London in the fall to study abroad for a semester. I can't wait.
- i need to work on my painting for uncle mike like whoa, but i haven't had the motivation lately. I need help from mrs. wesinger, my old art teacher, but it's been hard to make the time to go and see her. I am hoping to go within the next week or so.
-my lil bro broke up with his girlfriend of 4 years, but they still hang out together everyday, and are still good friends. i feel so bad for him, he's going through a tough time right now, not just with christine, but with life in general.
- sigh.....trying to be optimistic...things are changing a lot, and i'm finding it hard to keep up with right now, but i'm trying!! they seem to think i have seasonal affective disorder, so i'm trying to stay in light and have re-arranged my sleeping schedule. I am no longer dependent on sleeping pills and am no longer an insomniac! yay! i go to bed at a reasonable hour and wake up exactly 9 hours later, and i am not tired the whole day, which is a first, and i love it! i have not had a nap in over a month (excluding today, cause i'm not feeling well) and i'm trying to get myself onto a schedule. only time will tell....
speaking of bed, i need to go to it, so i'll try to write more later when i'm not blah...
