it's beginning to look a lot like...

Well, I'm not sure what. The holidays are quickly approaching, and I'm not going home to California. Family and friends are distraught, but I know it will be okay :D They will be okay, I will be okay. At least that's what I keep telling myself. I'm almost done with Christmas shopping. Crazy, I know, I know, especially since it's not yet Thanksgiving. But, I'm having nose surgery the day after I get home, and I'll be bruised until Christmas, so better prepared than scaring people in public, aye? I'm hoping to get lots of movie time in with my Gramsie and Farrel.

More exciting news, I finished all my busywork homework and three out of my four projects for the semester. Basically, I'm done with homework until December. I'm trying to finish everything before Senioritis sets in. Speaking of Seniors... I am one! I got my schedule pounded out for next semester, and I'm going to take a Winterim (one week, watching movies and writing papers), an online critical thinking class, a computer class, and a Women/Aging Gerontology class... all that, and I'll be done by March!! I'm thinking take a bunch of friends home for Spring break, send them back on an airplane, and enjoy a few weeks of rest at home with my Gramsie, poolside, without a care in the world, before I'm thrown into the real world. Speaking of the real world, I'm hoping to find a job in the Springs for April-Octoberish. Something that pays well so that I can keep my savings up while I'm in Cosmetology school here in the Springs. If you know of anyone or anything, please don't hesitate to let me know :) Well, sorry I didn't update more, I'm off to clean a bit for my hot date in tomorrow. Almost a year, being vulnerable, and growing immensely as an individual, a girlfriend, and a child of God :D
