See Ya Later!

Just wanted to do a quick post, as I am about to embark on a journey to the netherworld of unending schoolwork. Today, in one of my classes, I learned that an upcoming assignment that I thought was going to be pretty simple will, in fact, be an extensive undertaking. To top that, most of my classmates are working in groups on the assignment. Unfortunately, as the the only person who is studying to teach economics, I have no peers with whom I can collaborate. *sighs* Oh, well...I don't really like group work all that much, anyway. At least this way, I get to be completely in control. Just the way I like it, ha ha.

In addition to this project, I have a number of projects for other classes that I need to be working on, also. I will emphatically state that this mountain of work is not the result of procrastination on my part. Apparently, in one's last semester of coursework in this program, all of the professors assign most of the work to be completed in the second half of the semester.

I can handle it. I'll just have to abstain from social gatherings for a while. Except Halloween. I will surface long enough to don a costume and frolic with friends for that occasion. I'm considering going as Amy Winehouse...although after last night's debate, I'm thinking about conspiring with a friend to dress up as Joe Six Pack and Joe the Plumber...

Oh, and I almost forgot my great news! Guess who passed both of her Praxis II exams?! That's right. ME! Woo hoo!

Well, I've delayed my work too long now. I'll just have to see ya later.

Alone Again

I took Matt back to the airport a couple of hours ago. It was difficult to see him leave, of course. We did have a terrific time during his visit.

He was here for eleven wonderful days! We went to my classes, ate dinner at some of our favorite places, had dinner with friends, spent time with my family, attended a really fun wedding, and even managed to go to a haunted cave! We probably could have crammed in a lot more activities than we did, but it was just so nice to be able to relax together.

I'm attempting to bolster my spirits with the knowledge that Thanksgiving isn't all THAT far off, and I'll get my hubs fix again then. And I have plenty of stuff for school to keep me busy in the meantime...

It was a spectacular eleven days with my honey. And now, I'm alone again.

That feeling.

You know that feeling when you finally put to rest something that has bothered you for a long time? That thing that you did that makes you feel bad about yourself and ashamed of how you acted? When you finally make apologies and amends and everything is again right with the world?

Yeah, that feeling is quite nice.
