When I grow up.....

Yah, its been a while.

Things have happened and more are happening now. 

Rox is married now. Dwayne is another year older. He went to visit the kids in October. Halloween has come and gone. 

And November, too.  Black Friday shopping with Jamie. So cold, made two new random friends from Kentucky.

Oh yeah, um.... it's December now.

I am sitting at my on-campus job (I got that,like, in October, did I tell you?) and am being totally lazy.  The girls (freshman on the women's soccer team) are busy doing their own thing and I trust them to be doing what they should be.  Most of them (5 of the 7) are like me and take school pretty seriously.  The other 2 on the other hand..... well, lets just say that no matter what they do at this point (end of the semester) they are just SOL.

The semester is winding down and I am so freaking excited to have a break.  I have been so exhausted lately and Dwayne says he thinks I am a zombie because I have been sleeping so much lately.  He says he has never known anyone to enjoy sleep as much as me.  I think he is just being dumb.

I have been looking for a part time/seasonal job to just bring in some extra cash but with no success.  Truthfully, I haven't really looked that hard because with my classes and tutoring my schedule is kinda limited.

This semester all I have left is.......

Yoga pose Test 12/7
Math Final 12/10
Art Final 12/15
Psychology Final 12/15

The only one I am really stressing is the math final as it is 20% of the grade and is comprehensive. Ugh. I hate comprehensive exams. I am stressing it because it is math, 20%, and because I am so close to an "A" in that class.  And since I had just very low goals for myself going in (gimme a "C" and I'll love it) and have exceeded my expectations- I would HATE to get thisclose to an "A" and then not get it. Believe me I would bitch about it for the rest of my life.

But all in all the semester is going well and I am on target to make Dean's List again this semester.  My pal Jamie asked me how I do it and Dwayne just happened to be in earshot and said, "She is a machine.  All she does is study and yell at me." 

I am over 50% done with the Christmas shopping that I plan on doing. Yay!  At least, over 50% of the Christmas money is gone.  Ooops.

Oh yeah, I made Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's house.  I made a turkey, oyster cornbread dressing, yams, and gravy.  The gravy was just nasty. I'm going jar next year.  And since I did all that cooking from scratch for Thanksgiving I am not cooking a damn thing for Christmas.  We might just go to Cracker Barrel.

2010 isn't over yet and my new 2011 calendar is already filling up with things.  I have a major problem, OCD almost, with planning.  So, I filled in all the birthdays,anniversaries, important dates for MTSU, doctor's appointments, holidays, etc in on my calendar and it was like eating a big bowl of joy.  I loved it. Something is seriously wrong with me.

Tyler is graduating in 2011. Crazy to even think of it.  We got online access to his senior pictures a couple of days ago.  He is just a gorgeous boy!  When we get them I will have to share them and see what you guys think but I really think he could be a model. (Do I sound like that crazy mom whose kid is just beyond ugly but they insist they are beautiful?)  So, we are planning a monster trip to TX to see him graduate at the end of May just as my spring semester is winding down.  Should be interesting and I hope it is fun. 

My spring schedule is going to be pretty packed so it might be a good thing I don't have even a part-time job.  (Other than my campus job, I mean.)  I was asked back as a tutor for the spring so that is cool.  I have 17 hours scheduled and since I am getting closer to graduating the classes, I've heard, will be more intensive. Plus, I am starting my foreign language.......... wtf am I doing to myself?

Spring 2011
Research Methods
Data Analysis
Data Analysis Lab
Abnormal Child Psychology
Criminology
Elementary Spanish I
Self Defense

I am on track to graduate Spring 2012.  That is with me taking 2 courses the summer of 11- which I will do in order to not get stuck with an entire semester for 2 classes and to make my goal of graduating when I am 30. (I'll be 30 years,7 months,24 days old- thank you very much!)

It is still snowing outside.  This is rambling and I am sleepy.  Only one girl left to watch........

P.S. I know my title has nothing to do with anything I typed here... it just happened to be the title of the song Pandora was playing when I signed in. Sue me.
