Man, having this week and next week over will be a sweet relief. I guess things aren't that bad, but still, a break will be great.
I start my bartending training on Friday. w00t.
I went to the hospital to see Mike's grandfather, who was diagnosed with pancreotic cancer. It was really strange, because everyone in that family is really quiet, and I'm really not. And of course, hospitals are awkward places anyway. So, I think his family likes me, and I think everyone was kinda relieved to have someone there talking and asking questions and stuff. Mike's mom called us the next day, and told us his relatives thought we were there a really long time -- which is kinda a shame, since we were only there an hour or so.
It was strange to see how awkward Mike can be. Like anyone else, he just doesn't know what to say -- so he was pretty relieved walking out of there.
Thanksgiving pretty much blew. I stayed home and got a lot of shit done. I graduate in two semesters, if I just keep my ass in gear. I found an advisor for my honors thesis -- which will be on some aspect of Calvin and Hobbes. I'm not sure what yet, though. If you all have any ideas, feel free to post em.
Mike and I also signed a lease for next year. We'll both pay 275, and that includes all utilities. I'm really pumped, the place is way bigger than I thought we would be able to find, and it has a garage. It's a set of six aparments, so there are six garages, I guess. *grins*
Mike just sold his mustang and got a white pickup. It's a manual, so it's been really fun watching him struggle to get used to it. Updates to come about how well I do or do not handle it. Shit, once I can bartend and drive a stick, I'll have all the skills I'll ever need to be a real woman. For all of you missed the sex reference, read it again.
I need to start working out again, but I just don't know when I can find the time.
Lessee if I can stay caught up on journals this next time around...
