Well well well, it has been QUITE the past month or so.
Classes have been moving along (although to admit I've been struggling to keep up). I really overloaded myself this semester and came to realize that about half way through when I felt I was falling behind in classes and feeling tired all the time! The only thing really getting me through at this point is the fact that I. Graduate. In. MAY!! I'm so excited for this that I'm willing to overlook the point that even though I'm quitting my second paying job (parking maintenence on campus) that I'm still going to be quite busy. Job, Internship, 19 credits (6 classes)! Luckily my schedule isn't too awful but it's also not going to leave much time for anything else. Here's to hoping I can make it through the next five months.
I am however incredibly excited that I have a month off coming up. I'm not going to be able to go down to Florida with the fam this year as they are going after I go back to school, but to make up for this I'm going up to our cabin right at the end of my break for a little less than a week to relax and enjoy some quality time with Matt and some of our friends. I am most definitely looking forward to that!
As for Christmas coming up I must say I've done another year or waiting to last minute to shop. This is kind of an odd year for cmas, we're all a little short on cash, I already know what my parents are getting me (seeing as I ordered it for them yesterday). I can't help but notice the magic has gone out of cmas. Kind of makes me sad! It also doesn't help that I've been so stressed with school that I've hardly noticed that cmas is a week away!
I'm definitely looking forward to some time with the family but as cmas approaches I also have the anxiety of dealing with a significant other's family. Matt and I have been dating for awhile now but not long enough to necessarily expect gifts from the fam. Him and I talked about it and he told me he's not expecting gifts from my fam (and wasn't intending to buy them gifts) BUT His mother has already given me something and he's not sure if his sister and brother-in-law are getting me something or not. I can't say I'd be surprised but at the same time this puts me in the position of A: them getting me something and me not getting them anything (embarrassing for me) or B: them not getting me anything and me giving them something (makes them feel uncomfortable). Who knows, maybe I'm over thinking the situation but all the same, more anxiety on top of existing anxiety. YAY!
I still have all my baking to do (but that's fun for me!) this year I'm making Nutmeg Cutouts, Peanut Blossoms, and Chocolate Almond Bark. It's going to be a yummy year!
Well I have a research paper left to write and one final left and then I'm done for the semester! Lets hope they go well!
PS. (completely off topic) I am completely disgusted, irritated, annoyed, and think that women who add friends (that are girls) of their boyfriend/fiance/husband on facebook are pathetic! Note to all these women:
Dear, Women who add me on FB cuz I'm friends with your SO (Significant Other),
Honey, if you can't trust him on facebook you DEFINITELY can't trust him in everyday life!
Sincerely,
Just his Friend!
