Goodnight Moon!

March 23, 2011

I received the first three shipments of text and reference books and another two today. Last night it felt like Christmas. Today it just feels like work. I am T I R E D. I had a meeting with a new transfer counselor today, who I liked very much. She was extremely helpful and showed me how to access some of the material myself online. I am planning out the fall semester and getting a little anxious. I am getting weird and obsessive that I am not going to be able to get the last couple of classes I need and/or that the schedule will not go my way. I am going to spend some time tomorrow running around campus and asking questions that will hopefully yield answers that are favorable so my ulcer will LEAVE ME ALONE. Ugh.

I will be going at double speed until the first week of August. I get a break and then fall will be hard, but hopefully not AS hard as this semester and summer. I am half way through this semester now and I have kind of settled into a groove. It doesn’t seem as hard as it did at first. I have kind of a study schedule set up and it is working for me. Exercise and structured eating, not so much.

I haven’t gained anything in months (other that up and down a few pounds here and there) but I am definitely not losing. I am able to maintain 135-145 EFFORTLESSLY. Eating pretty much whenever and whatever I want (within my “rules”) and not exercising hardly at all. But I really don’t feel my best. I feel HUGE and WEAK. I have to work on that.

I haven’t been going out. I haven’t been doing anything, actually, aside from reading and studying. That is kind of sad I guess. I wear mostly jeans and t-shirts and almost no makeup. What’s the point, really, I am going to have my head stuck in a book all day.

I am relatively content and happy. Thinking about getting a pet (maybe a kitten). I want my dog to come back really badly, but realistically, I don’t have time for him right now. And I guess he knows that because I haven’t seen him J A kitten would be very low maintenance. My mom is saying no but I think she really wouldn’t care.

We are going to hire a contractor and finish a room for me to set up an office. I am literally being run out of my bedroom by books and I still have thousands in the attic and it would be nice to be able to have access to them. I am excited about that. Shooting for completion in the fall.

My oldest daughter and I are planning a series of super, terrific, amazing adventures and we are getting REALLY excited. We are both working on learning Spanish (I was once fluent after 4yrs of high school Spanish, two years of college Spanish and many, many summers and evenings spent in enrichment programs. But I don’t know how much I remember) Because we are going to visit some high volume birth centers to deliver babies and get clinical and volunteer experience. We are going other cool places, too…some for enrichment, some for fun :)

Oh, and we're going hiking! :D Soon as the snow and ice are all gone from the trail. We actually looked last weekend to see if we could go, but the forums said there was still ice and snow all over New England.

I am still missing that Cute Boy. I am tired and have some reading to do. I will be back soon :)

Goodnight Moon!
