my final weekend before a semester of death has been really nice and relaxing. i took time off of work to focus on what i needed to so i could relax and get various things together. i have read a book and a half on self-motivation and relationship building. im enjoying reading about how different people communicate differently and the various ways that people express themselves.
shannon and i have gotten to chill together around here which has been nice since, when classes crank into gear again, will be hard to do. we re-arranged the living room and redecorated the fish tank inside. looks neat-kinda has an atlantis feel now. im finally happy with how it looks. we've promised eachother that we would decide a specific time each night to turn off the homework so that it doesn't overcome us and make us crazy (except around test week) so that we'd have time to relax and do what we need to do. this evening a bunch of us are going to the safari lodge for another improv show of "whos idea was this anyways?" a buncha bg guys put it on.
as i reflect back on the summer i wonder where in the heck the time went. i have developed a lot of new relationships with people around me and i think for the better. a couple of my friends i have grown extremely close to and can trust them with so much. its nice to know i can confide in these people and i know that what i say will not be retold to someone else. the world does not need to know what is in my mind and in my heart but thoes few that i can trust with what i hold dear means so much to me.
i really hope this semester goes well. at the end of it i will know if i want to continue to persue a degree in accounting. shannon will know if she loves or loathes chemistry and wants to continue that as the pathway to a degree. good luck shan and good luck to everyone on a sucessful semester!
