Last night was a good time with the cohort- went to wing night at BW's, but it reallllly made me miss Wing Night at Bull Run. The wings were tasty, but not as good as Bull Run's and they were small! Like the dozen I got equaled 4 of Bull Run's! We played some trivia- Matt kicked my ass. However, I would like to think that I got a late start because I couldn't work the damn machine. However, I was #1 when it came to the Gossip Trivia with Lacey. But Matt had already left by then, damn! I wish they had a trivia night here- it would be so much fun and I think we would win with Matt and Lacey on the team. They really know their trivia. Sam not so much...hahaha...
So it's kind of official... I am going to be a GA next semester for the ACC!! :) I feel so relieved with the money situation. Now I won't have to have my parents help me as much. I am sure that they will still help me out, but I don't feel so guilty going out with friends and doing stuff now. I won't have to do as big of loans since my tuition will be paid. This is just for one semester though. Then we will do an evaluation of how I am doing and see if they want to keep me on. I will still keep some hours at the CIA and will still babysit for extra spending money. The GA stipend will pay for books, rent, electric, internet, and my phone bill I think. I just need to have it separate to make sure that money doesn't get touched.
I am still doing well in school. I think if I can keep my grades up I may get an A- this semester, which in my mind is still an A grade, even if it does have the minus. hahaha I hope I didn't just jinx myself... I think I am doing well for being in my first semester at grad school and taking a year off. However, I know next semester is going to kick my ass, especially take Y520- the stats course. Oh dear lord I am not looking forward to that.
Thanksgiving is coming up quick. I can't believe the semester has gone by so quickly! This will be the first time I won't be going home for the holidays, but I am going to my sister's so I will get to see family. I also get to see Jet!! I miss that guy. I can't wait for Black Friday shopping! I LOVE sales. Maybe I can finally buy some sneakers and a bag and leg magic on sale! I've been obsessing about these things for the past couple of months. Last week/this week I was able to go to the gym every day, but that stopped Wednesday cause of class and going out, yesterday I had to run to Sam's Club before going to Wing Night, and tonight I have to babysit. But I think I will go on Saturday morning to start back up. I think if I go at least 3 times a week my anxiety and stress will go down a lot.
just fucking rip the band aid off.
