(no subject)
I can't believe that I haven't written on here for so long. I do love my livejournal, but my computer has been down for a long time. I was using Stephan's, but I really don't like having to sit up there on the bed to use it. I missed my good ol' computer. It seems like it's still a little fickle and slow...I may have to take it to the shop...but for now, uninstalling and re-installing aol with a new disk seems to have granted me access to the internet for a bit.
Anyway, what's new in my life...I quit my icky fast food job last month. I am about to graduate in December if all goes well with my finals and my term paper for Spanish Literature. I am SO nervous about it. It's the first time I have ever had to write any kind of formal research paper entirely in Spanish, and I don't know how successful I will be. I need to find someone to edit it when I'm finished, just to make sure it doesn't sound like a six-year old wrote it. I just need to graduate, that's all I know. I was offered an honors project, but that information would have been helpful when I began my time at ETBU since it will take four semesters. I'm not staying for two more years just to finish an honors project. I just want a decent job.
My younger sister is still living in Pennsylvania and doing well in Physician's Assistant school. She now has plans to become an anesthesiologist's assistant or something like that. She may even come back to Texas (where she belongs!:) because she will get paid a lot more here than there, apparently. My other sister found a job in her area that she really likes. She seems to be doing really well with it, too.
Mom also found a job in town. She really likes it, even though her ours suck right now. She is working from 5 PM until 2 AM until she gets to bid for a better shift. I'm just glad that she finally has a job for which I know she is suited AND one that won't hurt her back. She just had back surgery a few months ago and may have to have another one, but her condition did improve after the first.
Stevey and I are still doing well. I really can't imagine that we were ever apart; it seems like we have known each other forever. I love him and I still love spending as much time with him as I possibly can. I really feel lucky that we found each other. I can't wait until we're both finished with school and stuff and can get married and have a few babies. But, until then, we'll just enjoy being together.
My puppies are all doing well. I probably mentioned this already, but I ended up adopting the pit bull that someone dumped out here. Her name is Sadie. She's doing very well now; she doesn't even look like the same dog I found that day. She has a few social issues with the other dogs, but she is a sweet, pretty dog over all. I will post pictures later...maybe even today if I'm still procrastinating on my paper by then! Tehe
On December 11th, my Dad's family is coming into town to help us finish some home projects (and to visit, of course). We're going to finish putting down the flooring and installing doors and light fixtures and stuff...painting walls upstairs. We can't seem to get around to finishing this house on our own, so we need the help. It's nice to have my Dad home. I hadn't seen him for almost a year. In fact, I haven't seen my sister for a year now. I'll be seeing her at Christmas.
Right now, I'm just looking forward to graduation, seeing my family at Christmas, getting a job and the future in general. I'm nervous but excited to see what a new year will bring.
