i think that summer is a nice break from "real life".
no school.
work, but still having down time.
both of us working our butts off so we feel like we are rich for a second.
then those glorious 4 months are over....
we are no longer rich.
we now work our butts off at school AND work.
we don't see each other as much, and when we do we have to try to make ourselves do homework instead of go to a movie or something that actually sounds fun.
stress.
constantly being behind on laundry and dishes, because when i have the time i have no motivation.
this is what i feel like "real life" is right now. i just have to keep telling myself that is a means to an end.
on the bright side, today i realized that i am a junior in college. that felt good. i went to the bookstore to print my book list and get my books and the line was about a mile long. so i walked the short distance to the lab at the end of the hall, and was in and out in no time with book list in hand. i went back to the bookstore and all those poor suckers were still waiting in line. i am SO glad that i am not a newbie who is completely lost and thinks there is only one way to do things!!! i then found my books in record time with no help from the workers despite the several offers i got (just because i am a junior doesn't mean i suddenly don't look like im 14 anymore). while the newbies were still waiting to print their booklists or getting escorted around trying to find their books i squeezed my way in and out of the massive crowds grabbed what i needed and was on my way.
this may not be a good thing about having done this before, but i have become almost completely desensitized to the outrageous cost of books. the cashier rings up my 5 thin, paperback books and tells me the total and i think "sure, no problem. want my firstborn too?" and the books i am now buying, the teachers say i will want to hang on to for when i am teaching. so there is no selling these puppies back!!! (i refuse to have to buy it again later down the road!!) i shoved them all in my backpack and it automatically gained about 100 lbs. from 5 paperback books! ridiculous!! okay so im exaggerating a little. but my shoulders were aching every time i put that thing on. i need a backpack with wheels!! until winter.... then im not sure what. but me being the dork i am i tried to weigh it to see how much it really weighed. stupid scale wouldn't weigh it. i refuse to think that this may be because it doesn't weigh enough for the scale to register it. i know for a fact it does! dumb scale.
anyways, these are my random thoughts of the day. i can't tell you how mike's first day went because i haven't seen him since he had class and he is currently working.
ciao!~
