My Summer '06- a preview

This summer I am doing many things I didn't expect. First off, I am living at home- one thing I didn't want to do since I enjoy living on my own. Also, I didn't want to live at home because I wanted an internship related to psychology somewhere. But I was lazy and didn't start looking until late and found nothing (I did get one offer, but I turned it down once things at home fell into place).

The things at home that fell into place, which were unexpected: I have a job at Staples, where I have worked in past years and I am leading a college sunday school class at my church. Also, it will be good to be home this summer in order to attend most of my friends' weddings and be home for my brother's second ACL surgery, on the same knee.

And the last unexpected thing is my friendship with Jeff- not sure where it's going, but I am enjoying getting to know him as best I can through IM and email.

Done!

This is a Thursday 17 years in the making. School is over! My last final finished at 9am this morning, and I will not have a class again, at least for a while. Like, a long while. Like, I don't plan on going back to school, except for very good reasom, ever.

Honestly, I don't mind school. I love learning, no doubt about that. I think I'm just relieved right now- this constant burden I've had of 'making the grades' for all of my life is done. I can breathe easier. Now, I can learn for fun and self-betterment, rather than to pass the test. Now I'll have TIME to.

Yay!

The Weekend Where Josh Studies for Finals

My Keeping Feet blog has a Weekend Series of posts, started a little while ago. I decided to post last weekend here to mix it up a bit, and because I've been slacking and haven't posted a weekend update
This weekend turned into "The weekend where Josh recovers from the previous week" and therefore we didn't do much. We did go and update our registry, so wedding guests will be happy. We took our wedding rings in to be sized, and I gave my engagement ring to be re-rhodium-plated or something. When it comes back, it will be the same white gold color as my wedding ring.

The weekend was long for me- I didn't have class Thursday or Friday because of the tragedy last week at Taylor. Not exactly a long weekend to celebrate or anything. Josh and I did a lot of talking about life-plans. That was good. I feel like, even though we talked quite a bit, everything's still up in the air. We've still got all these parallel lives planned, and at some point we're going to have to choose one of our parallel-universes to be our reality. Sounds like Star Trek. That's OK, we like Star Trek :)
