Whatever's wrong with your day, that's likely to fix it. Thanks, Liz :D
So I slept way too late this morning...and i feel like a million dollars. last night was my last night of methods for(hopefully)ever. I just hope I pass, cuz man, retaking that class would end my sanity. it's not hard, it's just pointless, and there are THREE professors inside a classroom the size of your bedroom that each take turns trying to make you empowered by dripping with condescending attitudes. gag me with a spoon.
so there's still some pressure on: i have a 10 page paper due thursday, but i'm really not that worried about it...at all. it's this big defining-self-identity and charting my growth as an educator and all that. her last paper was the first one i've ever had to cut down to size. hm. additionally, i have a lot of grading and planning to get ahead on, which kinda sucks, to be honest. it feels like i've cleared a hurtle in finishing a class, but i don't get to reap my rewards for a while still. but, life goes on.
in class last night, our guest speakers were people from our program that graduated last year. they told us it's still less free time than they were expecting, but not like this year. they even promised the prospect of a social life and mainly consistant mental health. these are two things i can't honestly say i've got going for me at the moment. i see brian's friends more than i see my own. maybe we're just all overachievers and things don't work out... hm.
liz is coming home in january. cool. :D
is anyone going to be home for christmas and/or in MD for new year's? i really miss you guys.
i'm looking forward to the holidays, and i'm holding out false hope that this year won't be like every other year, where i freak out at the last minute and buy in a frenzy. i think i'm pacing myself so far. also, for the first time in my life, kj is in charge of getting the house clean, because his christmas break starts on saturday, and he has a whole week before i get there to whip the place into shape. i hope he can do it, because that would be a huge relief. the allergies i get cleaning during the holidays are ROUGH. also, it would be really nice if i could ever start thinking about coming home as a break. usually i see it as even more work than i'm doing before i come home....and then i can relax. our house is not small. boo. also, when i have pets of my own, they will not be allowed on the couch, because ew.
wow, go go gadget tangent.
i'll be home this weekend. i hope it's fun and relaxing, and not atrocious.
i should get to work. boo. lurve, kiddies.
