Saw Harry Potter last night and really liked it. Although it was a bit long and some parts dragged, it was thoroughly enjoyable. I got out of the theater around 6 and tried calling Steven's cell phone, but I kept getting this message saying his number was no longer in service. Turns out he forgot to pay his cell phone bill. Whoops. He IMed me around 7 pm on gay.com and told me what happened. I pretty much relaxed and watched Family Guy and American Dad. Steven wanted to come over around 10, but I told him I was going to go to bed early so I could get to work early.
Speaking of work, I should be reviewing articles but I've been grading instead. I want to get as much grading done as possible before I leave for Plano tomorrow night. Since I'm not driving, I'll have a chance to enjoy the ride home. I'm really looking forward to coming home since it's been over three months since I've been back to Dallas. I don't miss home perse but I do miss my family. I haven't been very homesick since I got to Lubbock. Since I've been getting sicker and sicker of school, I really need to surround myself in familiar settings.
I'm not planning on doing a lot of work over Thanksgiving. I'll probably finish my 5060 paper and do research for my Foundations paper, maybe even a little grading. I refuse to get totally consumed with school at this point. The more I think about it, the less likely I'll be going back to school full time in the fall. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with tech comm, but I know I'll want to take at least two classes whether they be grad or undergrad classes.
I keep toying with the idea of moving out to either Phoenix or Atlanta in the fall, but the more I think about it, the more I want to stay here. I just feel like I'm in a transitional state right now, but I'll be able to ground myself in a routine in the spring. I want to continue going to school in some capacity, but not full time. I'm a lousy grad student with only taking two classes nevermind three. I'll probably continue working for Barbara in the fall. After that, I'm not sure what I'll do if I don't keep my assistantship. Substituting is always an option and the pay isn't bad. I'd like to find a roomate when my lease is up in August. Living by myself has been nice for the last five years, but I could do with some company. But I'll worry about that when the time comes. Until then, I need to continue with work.
