Here we go...
::stretch, big yawn::
Good morning...
Ok, so I have not posted in almost a year, but I figure that it is always better late than never, right?
First of all, the only reason I am posting, other than I enjoy getting replies to my boring and in many instances sad posts, is that I have nothing better to do. Honestly... I'm sitting here at Building Services on a Friday morning during the "summer schedule"-- any of you who have worked a Friday at Building Services during the summer, know that there is no reason to be here, except to maybe fix the occasional locker (which, of course, can always wait for Monday).
I do have MTEL studying hanging over my head and of course I could always balance my checkbook... But you all need to understand, I am here, sitting in this office, with no windows and nothing to do, for 10 hours! Imagine the thoughts that can go through a persons head in 10 hours. I have done everything from play tic-tac toe with myself, plan my wedding (with a fictitious groom ;)), play bookworm, wash the walls, and yes, kegal exercises. Needless to say, this is not the most exciting job to be at during the summer... actually, it's really not exciting any day of the year, but hey, it helps pay the bills.
Enough about that... Let's update my life.
I have graduated NU, with a BA in Arts and Sciences (Human Services to be exact). All in all, I should be proud, but here's the kicker-- I graduated Magna Cum Laude, which, as geeky as I sound, I was upset about because I don't like being second best, especially in academics! But that was about a month ago, so I'm almost over it. Moving on to the next chapter-- I was accepted to NU Grad school in the MAT program-- which will take about year and I'm SUPER excited about!!
Greg is moving to Boston in September (I'm sorry all you Veloso Lovers, I'm afraid I have stolen his heart as he has mine... Feel free to still send cult/love e-mails-- But paws off! :)). I cannot wait to have him here to fall asleep and wake up next too-- I mean, don't get me wrong, I love when he chats me to sleep every night and I give him a little kiss over the phone before I leave for work... But come on! A girl has got to have her man to cuddle... 3.5 years of this phone stuff-- ENOUGH! It will absolutely be the biggest test EVER. Greg and I are polar opposites, perhaps that is why we love each other so much. We are both nervous that living together will turn those little quirky things we love about each other into huge annoyances that send signals indicating that we are not meant to be together. But, the good thing is that we are both realistic about the situation-- which helps... The other thing is that Greg and I communicate better than any couple I know (thank you Sprint!)... So I think we have that on our side. I'll keep you posted on all that.
Joanna (the other love of my life) is now back in Virginia. It is sad. It's funny... I'm gaining Greg and I've lost Joanna... I just want to be selfish and have both of them! I know, I know... I can still see J about anytime I want (VA isn't too far, and its not all that expensive to get there)... But still.. BHOP doesn't even taste as good without J around! So, while I'm moving out of one LDR, I'm settling into another... Boo.
On a happier note, I am going to be an Auntie!!! My brother Eric and his wife (my sister-in-law... duh), Jamie, are expecting! They are due around Jan 1-- Maybe a New Year's Baby!!! I am very excited. I'm going to spoil this baby sooo much!
Let's see... last is that I had some dental work done Wednesday... Two fillings and a wisdom tooth removed... I'm still sore... Actually it hurts more today than it did yesterday, but I guess that's normal? Who knows. I just want me teeth to be fixed (who knew they were so bad.. they don't look bad...or hurt... I guess that is what skipping 2 years of dentist visits will do).
Alrighty, that said, I'm going to go find something for breakfast... Most likely it will be pudding, or ice cream... I'll see what I can find! :)
I hope all is well with all of you! I'm glad to be back.
Much Love,
Nic
I apologize for typos and all that... I just haven't had to write anything since mid-April.
