My mother's over her practical kick, where she was going to get a stable job and buy a house and settle down for a few years. Now she's decided that definitely wants to get her Ph.d in the stuff that she loves and will go on and on for hours about. So most likely we'll be moving in the next two years or so to wherever she gets accepted. It'll be better that way. She can't really function outside of academia anyway. Right now, it's looking like Chicago. My blood isn't thick enough for that anymore but I grew up in Colorado where summer ends the first week of September, I think I can handle it. It is a big city with a lot going on. Houston is big too and it's nice here, but it's not very mixed up down here. Everyone tends to stick to their own, which kind of puts us at an awkward place being mixed and all. The Springs was fairly mixed but there was a lot of military there and that usually has something to do with it. I like Texas but I have to move on eventually.
So far so good so good, school wise. I'm actually surprising myself at my studiousness. All my homework's done, granted I haven't had very much homework but I guess I'm not the leave it to the last minute type. Now I'm wondering what my problem was when it came to do work for the past six or seven years while being unschooled. I think I need that structure to be at my best and those homeschooled years just weren't very structered.
I think I'm really enjoying the new John Mayer album. I'm going to have to get it when it comes out if my mom doesn't get it first. There's some bluesy stuff on it that's really good. Thank goodness for the album preview thing. I have to know what I'm buying.
