Today was the last super long day of class. I am really thankful that tomorrow is a short day, made shorter by a wonderful thirty minute delay. While I understand and somewhat enjoy learning about what the professor is teaching us, I think that this class could and should be so much more. Anyway, it wasn't what I was expecting when time rolled around for me to sign up for classes, but its okay. Right now, the end of class seems so awesome.

That's pretty much it today... Class pretty much drained everything.

heart

Heart on my sleeve?

Pish.
I keep my heart in my hand.

but really...
i do...

semester

I am excited for this semester's classes. Cross-Cultural Counseling, Counseling Theories, Abnormal Psychology are the top ones so far. World Religions. The only one I think I dislike already is Algebra. I hate math. I hate math a lot. So...my list is looking awesome. Mostly because its light enough for me to do great on my job and really get going on the search for the masters program I want. Oh and internship things...

Excited.

Back. back to school

So I made it back to school. The flights and everything weren't too bad, but the landings did give me enough scare to where I don't want to fly again for a while. Strangest part of the trip was the snow that hit when I landed in Virginia. I'm not a fan of snow but thought it was pretty cool that I avoided it all the way up till I hit the east coast again.

Other news, got a new hat done. Its a simple slouch for my friend who kindly watched my car over break. She asked for one like my purple one, but I didn't have enough yarn so I tried to incorporate that yarn in with the green. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out because there's a slight texture difference in the yarns that adds a neat variation. Here's the picture of it...please ignore the flight hair and not happy disposition (flying makes me unhappy)...

There it is! Now I'm going to take a much needed nap before my ride arrives to so I can reclaim my car!

sick

I am miserable. It's just over a day before I leave for school again and lo and behold I have what is quite possibly strep. There's no tea or juice in sight either so I'm sucking it up with some throat drops and water. Eventually I'll try that whole salt water thing again, but it never ends up pretty. Days like these are when I feel more pitiful than anything. I hate feeling sick without being sick and I kinda wish there was someone to take care of me and dote on my whims. It's funny that a sore throat can bring me to my knees, but when I had a possible broken leg (see previous posts relating to MRI) all is cool. Sigh. Looks like an early night for me. After some semi-hearty soup and packing of jeans. Half packed and it looks like everything is going to fit*. Whoot!

*by fit i mean most of my yarn is going with me. hiphip hooray!

p.s. going to start a cowl pretty soon and some scarflets so keep an eye out....

New Year

Well, it is a bit into the new year. Still feels like 2010 to me because it doesn't feel like much has changed. Still no snow in sight for me, and I am rather pleased to have only been through a couple snow days this winter...with both of them being in North Carolina. To catch up since the last blog, I've been in Kansas visiting my family there. I quite nearly love it there and would possibly live there one day. It was great and I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents and mom. I liked it.

Back to the new year we're in. According to my number for the year, I should look forward to new experiences and travels. This oddly goes with the fortune I got from a fortune cookie. And a text from a bff. Seems odd to me.

Anyway, this year is just....yeah for me so far. I found out today that I'm leaving a day earlier than what I thought I was. Which ruins the timeline I had in my head, but that's whatever now. Can't change it so just gotta go with it. Filled two more shelves with books. I am quite happy about this, as I'm an avid reader and am kinda proud of my books. I can barely decide which ones to take to school and which ones to leave for the summer. Books are grand. As it stands right now, I'm only taking five, maybe six books to school. I'm mostly okay with this. Specially when I look at the fact I'm taking most of my yarn here to school. Crazy, I know. But yarn weighs less and thus is cheaper to fly back.

If you're wondering, yes. I am worried about flying back. Cue anxiety in three...two...one...

I can't think of much else to say. I'm trying to decompress from the weekend and think over everything and mentally pack. Distracted is my name right now and avoidance is the game. Christmas was grand.
