Ah, life.
I'm up watching the Astros-Cardinals game, so I thought I'd give an update on how life's treating me.
It's kicking my ass.
Mondays are my stay-at-home-and-work days. Well, today I woke up feeling drained and sick. Yuck! I got half of my goals for the day accomplished. At least I did get some things done, right? I just spent two and a half hours completing an online course on research practices. It's sponsored by the Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health and was somewhat interesting, but obviously was meant for people doing medical research, not behavioral/media research.
Dammit, Pujols just scored a three-run homer. It's Bottom of the 9th and the Cards are leading 5-4.
Anyway, back to me :) I find myself constantly asking why I decided to go back to school. I mean is an advanced degree really going to be worth it in the long run? I used to know the answer to that, but sometimes I don't know. I remind myself that it means I'll make (ever so slightly) more money and it allows me to be able to teach, if I so choose, which sometimes I really think I would. Right now, though, I think I want to work with a non-profit that advocates media literacy. Who knows though...
I still love my car! Though I need to watch my speedometer more carefully - I've already gotten a speeding ticket! One ticket in less than two weeks, must be some new record! I was going 71 in a 55: I'm definitely not used to the pick-up in it yet.
Double dammit, the Cards just won. Maybe the Astros can pull it out in St. Louis tomorrow :)
Oh, and I hate technology! I was typing out notes today and my keyboard randomly stopped working! I tried everything I could think of: restart, reinstall drivers, everything. Finally, I turned it off and let it cool off for a while. Turned it back on and now it's working fine. But it cost me like two hours in aggravation! That's two hours I could've done something else.
I keep getting in these modes where all I want to do is wedding stuff, but I can't because I have a gazillion other things that I should be doing. Less than nine months to go! I get so excited sometimes, and Devin looks at me like I'm crazy. I asked him the other day if he gets annoyed when I tell him constantly that I love him and he said occasionally, but mostly he likes to be reminded of it :)
Oh well, enough ramblings for one night I suppose. Later!
