and scene. the past month has been moderately hellish, only for taking 2 graduate classes in the first summer session on top of doing a musical on top of babysitting periodically. i was really supposed to babysit much more frequently than i did, but i kept having to not so that i could do homework instead. now that the classes are over (as of yesterday, when i turned in my last paper), i am glad i took them, but at the time…hell. 6 assignments in one day is too many. honestly. i plan to be doing absolutely nothing next summer when i take more classes, and i plan to take NO MORE classes until next summer. i am SO taking a year off, yes i am, and i am happy about it. now then.
so. i got the job. the one that i wanted, the one that was for me! whoo hoo! i am employed, and it is exciting and also extremely scary and nerve-wracking. the nerves haven’t set in too much, but as the school year draws closer, trust me: they will. i’ve already started having school dreams, in which bad things happen in my classroom, etc. GOODY. a whole new gamut of topics to have nightmares about. as if i didn’t have enough.
as far as the boy goes, things are going just swimmingly. he went out of town for 5 days to go to the bonnaroo music festival in tennessee, and he missed me, so that was good. it’s good to miss each other sometime. healthy. i just finished reading this book by william glasser called ‘getting together and staying together,’ and though it’s geared toward making your marriage happier, i’m not married, and a lot of it applied to me. i would highly recommend it to anyone, even if you’re not in a relationship currently. it will probably shed a lot of light on past relationships and why they didn’t work out. anyway, read it. lots of good stuff there. honestly, so good, i’ve already bought 2 more of the guys’ books. he’s a psychologist or psychiatrist or something, but he’s also an educational theorist, which is how i found out about him. i had to read an article by him for one of my classes, and it fascinated me, so i bought that book.
ok, i really thought i was going to have more to say than this. this has turned out to be quite boring so far. damn. i think maybe i’m just tired because i haven’t slept in 4 days because my throat has been sore, and now i feel like my voice is giving out, and it’s just no good.
one thing i know for sure: i hate mosquitos.
well, if i think of anything exciting later, i’ll let you know. i can’t believe it’s july. which means, oh god, that C’s 10 year reunion is next freaking weekend. gawd. is that altogether necessary? sigh.
