So after about a million years I decided to update this thing...Life has been busy as always and there are times when I feel like life is passing me by because I agree to do to many things and I feel as though I might be taking on too much. This summer I stayed up in Fairfax, and if I decide not to take the Supervisor position (I'm still kind of on the fence about it) then I won't stay here again, it's not that I don't like the area, it's that I need more than 23 days for a summer. I got a lot of my English classes out of the way, but I need to take a bunch of History classes still. Over my summer break (the few days that I did have) Sean and I went to Salem to see my mom, and then I went back to the beach and spent a few days down there. I miss home a lot sometimes and other times I don't know that I could ever really go back there. I dunno...
ANYWAY...
School started again way too soon, and I have really not gotten back into the school mode and that scares me because we're in like the 4th or 5th week. I am slowly working on it but I think a lot of my problem is that I am working as a research assistant to one of my old professors and I feel like my life is finally going somewhere that I want it to, but school doesn't seem to be a part of that life. I really just don't want to be here sometimes, and I think that effects a lot of what is going on right now. I just don't want to be here, I don't want to sit in a classroom anymore, I don't want to listen to professors rant at me for hours on end, and I don't want to read anymore books on stuff I don't care about. I like working for this professor, she wants to take me to New York with her to interview some Holocaust survivors. And so I just don't see the point in my staying here anymore, even though I need my Masters to work in a museum. I am still taking a few creative writing classes, but the problem is, that school has kind of killed my dream of writing and I am scared that it is going to kill this dream too. I just don't know sometimes.
But enough of school
Sean and I are doing well, it's been 2 years and 4 months, and I don't care what anyone says...long distance relationships aren't easy but they can work. You just have to work at it. There are times when I have to wonder if we are going to make it because we are both very firey people, and we both have so much that we want to accomplish, and there is so much that we need from each other that sometimes it is hard to give everything that is needed, but we are coping with that and we are working things out as they come at us.
Wow...that was a long update.
