Back From My Livejournal Hiatus
So, ok, I'm back. I apologize if anyone was concerned about my whereabouts. I'm fine. Things are really good. Thanks for not booting me off your friends list. That means a lot to me.
Since there's no way that I could possibly recap everything that's happened since I last wrote (you know, I just lack the time), I'm going to brief you all on what's going on in my life. That way i can just pick up where I am now. Good plan, right? Right.
My second semester is almost over, and it's been a very busy one but as of last night my last paper of the semester is finished, I'm ready for my finals and things are going really well. I'm taking two summer courses, math and philosophy, so that I'll graduate in the spring of 2008. Tentatively, my plan is to graduate with a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in English, take classes to get my K-12 teaching license, and finally go back to school to get a master's in education. At the rate I'm going I won't be done with school until I'm thirty, but you know, I'm alright with that. It's nice to have a plan.
My advisor has put the idea into my head that spending a semester in England would be a great idea. If I could come up with the money to do that, I would go in the fall of 2007, which be the beginning of my senior year. As homesick as I get, I would love to get away for a little while and do something totally different. I think it would be really good for me.
I registered for the fall semester and I have a full course load. Check this out:
MWF 8:00- Psych of Learning
MWF 9:05- Bio 100
MWF 10:10- American Writers since 1865
MWF 11:15- Memoir Writing Workshop
MW 12:20- Abnormal Psych
W 2:35- Bio Lab
It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm sure I'll be able to handle it. It'll be just like high school again! I'm psyched for the memoir class; I heard that the teacher is amazing.
Overall, school is awesome-- I'm really happy to be here and feel like I've made such incredible progress in my life.
My work situation is so much better than it was when I last wrote. Everything settled down and I'm much happier than I was before, and that's all I'm going to say about that for now.
My life at home has been really calm without my sisters. I miss them a lot, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. Bridget visits a lot and I talk to Maeve just about everyday. I'm going down to Florida to see Maeve over Memorial Day weekend, and I won't lie, I'm dying to see her.
I joined a gym about a month ago and I've been working out somewhat obsessively. I'm addicted to spinning. I plan on taking Pilates when I'm in better shape, which won't be long at all. After a month, I already feel a zillion times better.
My life in general is so calm and serene which is probably why I haven't been writing. My muse only seems to visit when my life is in turmoil. I do have a really good story to tell about a roadtrip I took to New Hampshire this past Sunday, but I'll save that for next time because I want it to be really good and seeing that I to go to class in few minutes I don't have to time. It's a good one though, stay tuned, you won't be disappointed.
My journal is going to being public again. For now anyway. This decision is subject to change.
It's good to be back.
