Bestest Idea EVAH!
So I'm taking a break from doing the paperwork from the class that I took the incomplete in. I have my list of assignments that I need to do, and as I go, I cross each one off so that I feel like I'm accomplishing something instead of feeling overwhelmed. I effing hate grad school. A LOT. I totally know that I would love it if I didn't have to work full time, but obviously that is not possible. I am taking the semester off, and maybe taking something over the summer. But, with the wedding and honeymoon, it depends on when the class is scheduled. I have 19 credits left to my MEd, and right now I just don't have any motivation.
JP and I went out to breakfast this morning at a local diner. This is the bestest idea referred to in the title of the post. I ate a MASSIVE amount of food. We split a side of homemade corn beef hash, which was heaven and then I had a veggie eggs scrambler and homefries. Its 8.5 hours later and I'm still full, and my belly is just beginning to stop aching. JP on the other hand has been whining for 2 hours about how starving he is. Too bad that he didn't do any dishes this week or go grocery shopping. For a 34 year old man, he is annoyingly good at playing helpless.
I am wicked sick of rain and wind and cold. I would really like it if we could fast forward to April and if it would be warmer. On the bright side, though I am starting to notice the days being longer. Sometimes I wish that I had the cajones to move South. Neither of us likes the cold, or the snow. I think that if we had the opportunity to spend more time outside in better weather, we wouldn't get so down during the winter. But, we see how his brother struggles without any family near him in CO, and we don't want to be starting a family 500 miles away from our support structure. We have talked about doing a teacher exchange in a few years and going to Spain for a year, and also about moving South when the kids are 10-12. But by then, our parents will be older, so we'll want to be near them, and I have issues with putting kids through huge moves away from all of their friends. We'll have to see.
So, to sum up: I hate gradschool, belly aches, and Winter.
