Procrastination...

Well, instead of doing homework, I'm going to post on here. I have a paper due tomorrow, and I haven't even started it. It's only about 2 pages though, so I'm not worried about it. Once I decide o sit down and actually write it, I should be able to crank it out in about an hour or so.

Right now I'm sitting in my room, listening to my iTunes, and thinking about a lot of different things. Most of what I'm thinking comes from Nathan though. I can't help but get anxious when I think about the fact that we still have 6 months until he comes home. It seems like it's dragging, and I have a hard time trying not to let it get me down. I get to talk to him often though, so that helps a lot. We talk about everything, and I love that I'm able to be so open with him.

Also, I was reading my cousin's blog recently, and I read something that she had posted that I had pointed out to her...so now I'm gonna post it too. It seems like, in my family, that if you're not married and don't have kids, you're not seen as an adult. She took it one step further and said that you're not seen. I would totally have to agree with that, because I feel like when I'm here at college, I'm an after thought. No one ever calls just to check in, they always nag me or need something done. They always want me to come home, but then when I do, they largely ignore me the whole time I'm there, and they never come down to visit me. But anyways, I digress.

For Thanksgiving Break, I'm gonna stay here in Macomb. I have to work and I'm not really keen on going home anyway. All I'd hear if I were there is how "concerned" my mom is about me being in a relationship with Nathan, and I honestly don't need it.

And Mom and Dad aren't gonna have me around for Spring Break either, because I'm looking into going to Texas to visit my aunt and uncle. I need an Aunt Becky hug, and I know that I'll be able to discuss things with her more openly than I would be with Mom. Aunt Becky is much less likely to judge me and my relationships, and she's more likely to actually listen when I tell her things.

Well, that's all my rambling for now. I'm gonna go and maybe get some homework done before I get on Skype to talk to Nathan.

Waiting for Class to Start...

Well, while I'm waiting for my class to start at 1, I thought I'd check in to elaborate on my weekend. While parts of it were fun, most of my weekend was a boring one. I worked from 9:45 am-noon on Saturday, and then I went home and spent the next six hours or so doing homework. After that, I went over to my friend Kiah's house and we had a little mini-Halloween party there. There weren't a lot of people, but it was still fun, and we took some great pictures.

Sunday was spent doing homework in the morning, and then I had to work from 4-7 pm. After work, I finished my paper that was due today, which took me FOREVER!!! Tonight, I have another evening full of homework planned before I work tonight at 9-12. It's gonna be a long night, but hopefully I'll get to talk to Nathan for more than 10 minutes, which is all we've been able to talk the last few days. I really miss him, and I'm counting the days till he gets home.

In other news, I've pretty much decided not to go home for Thanksgiving break. Instead, I'll be spending it with my room mate and her family. Also, I'm starting to make plans for Spring Break -- I'm planning on going down to Texas to visit family there instead of going home. It would be nice to actually DO something for Spring Break and not just sit at home alone in my house, and the apartment would be empty anyway because Carley is flying to Ireland for Spring Break to visit her boyfriend, who is overseas with Nathan. She's super excited to see Travis, and I'm really excited for her. Well, that's all I've got for now, and it's getting close to time to go to class, so, toodles for now!

SERIOUSLY!!!

OMG! I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted anything! That's insane!! Well, there's a lot to catch up on, so lets get to it! :D

First, I've moved into my first apartment with my wonderful roommate Carley. We love it, and it's great to be able to have our own kitchen and our own bathrooms. It's pretty small, but it's not like there's such a thing as a HUGE apartment!

I'm halfway through my 2nd to last semester here at Western, and I've caught a severe case of senior-itis! I simply can't find the motivation to do anything, but I'm really trying to buckle down and stick through it. I only have one more semester after this one, and I can't wait to be done here and move onto the next part of my life!

So, in other very exciting news, I have a boyfriend, and I'm happier than I've been in a really long time. His name is Nathan and he's 25 years old. He's in the National Guard, and he's deployed to Egypt right now, and my roommate introduced us, because Nathan is in Travis's (Carley's boyfriend) unit. He gets back in May, and I can't explain how anxious I am to get him home. He's absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see him again. Skype has become my best friend since he left, and as frustrated as I get with it when it doesn't work, it's the only thing keeping me sane.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot that's new with me, so I'll stop rambling and go. :)
