Life... so it goes
I haven't posted on here in forever and a day and so much has happened since my last post. First off, I've gotten a lot closer with a bunch of the B&Ners and in a big way my coworkers there are part of my family. They all cheer me on with classes and stuff and worry when I'm sick LOL, it's been slower lately and hours have been cut back but whenever I'm in everyone always wants an update LOL. Plus our B&N crew has had a bunch of fun outtings too, we went to see Shawn in his hs's performance of The Crucible, we went to a New Years Eve party, we saw My Bloody Valentine, and went hiking in Valley Forge. I think next up is a roadtrip to Longwood Gardens. Plus thanks to my job this week I was able to meet and go to dinner with Brandon Mull one of my writing idols. It was completely awesome and an experience I will never forget. He even gave me some tips on what it takes to become a published author, it was great!
Another major change is that since my last update I started dating Matt <3. This is the most serious relationship I've ever had and that makes it totally horrifying and absolutely wonderful at the same time. In just 4 short months I've fallen in love with him and I can't imagine where I'd be now without him in my life. We've been on some crazy dates, which somehow usually involve me trying new food from uni, and other unique stuff at sushi restaurants to trying squid on another date. We always have a great time whether we're just hanging out and watching a movie or TV or out running errands together or seeing a movie or going out to dinner. He's utterly brilliant and knows so much information about so many things and sometimes I wish I could just sit with him and listen to him talk for hours. We've done some awesome things together and my parents really like him and his cat likes me (as do his parents but I'm amazed his cat likes me because cats normally hate me LOL). Next up he gets to meet my UMBCers which should be quite the experience LOL
Classes have been awesome this semester. I love being able to take philosophy again and enjoy arguing my perspective with the professor and classmates. Plus I get to take Shakespeare this semester and I adore it (other then the fact that we're not doing Much Ado which I'm still arguing with Professor O about LOL) that class is awesome because it's pretty small and I get to whine and argue and fight for the characters I love. Children's lit is fun but the professor can get annoying because she essentially sits on the computer and surfs while we do busy work but the works we read are fun. Literacy in today's world is a cool class but sometimes the professor gets a little... overzealous I guess is the best word, but it's really interesting see how much words and symbols affect our lives.
The family is good and Eden is getting better at driving (Thank goodness!!!) Not too much else to report, look for more in approx 6 months LOL
