Two posts in one day. I'm going over the edge. I am so excited because I was looking at my class schedule and my degree audit and in my Fall '08 semester, by taking the rest of my "regular" classes I need to take, I will only have 8 credits! So obviously I'm going to have to come up with something else to take, but I'm really excited that I'm nearing the end of school. Also in good news, Dustin had a meeting for grad school today and he is VERY excited. If accepted into the program, he will be paid at least $10,000 to teach and do the grad program. He will get to graduate in the summer of '09 and we still get to live in our apartments. Then, after teaching for a few years, he is planning to go back to school for his doctorate to be a principal. Exciting!

Also, I would like a video ipod, so if anyone wants to get me one, I'd be your bff. Thanks! :)

peace

I think I'm happy today! Yes, I'm at work and I have a ton of laundry to do tonight......but......after my final tomorrow, Christmas break officially begins which means that school is officially ending......at least for a few weeks.

mmmmmmm that's all for now.

Parents are the new children...or children are the new parents?

Ok. You know how when you're growing up, your parents do everything in their power to make Christmas wonderful? They want to make their kids happy and they would do anything to make every Christmas the best Christmas their children had ever had!

Well.....now that I'm married....I feel like I have to do that with my parents and Dustin's parents. It sucks. Dustin and I work and have always worked so hard on our schedule for when we are in town with our parents. Seriously, a TON of time goes into thinking of how to divide the time in the fairest way possible, but it seems like it's never good enough. Usually, it's his parents that are never happy with our plans. We don't spend enough time there, we didn't have enough meals there, we didn't spend the night there.....blah blah blah. Anyway, so last night Dustin and I, again, spent a lot of time thinking about what days and evenings we were going to spend with what family and we finally got it worked out and we were SO proud of ourselves. This morning, when I called my mom to tell her our schedule, she was "disappointed because she had envisioned how wonderful Christmas Eve was going to be, but now [we] won't be there."

I feel so defeated. No matter how hard I work, I will always be making sure that our PARENTS have the best Christmas ever instead of the other way around. And the sad part is, they will never know how difficult it is and they will never be satisfied.

Last night was the first "Christmas" that Dustin and I have had since we've been married. Usually, we go into a store and say "I want this for Christmas," and then we buy it and on the way out of the store, we say, "Merry Christmas." But last night we actually opened gifts from eachother. It was so nice. That was the first time since we've been married that we stopped to think of ourselves for once instead of our parents.

Good gracious, I want to be an adult.....

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Christmas is right around the corner.....it's a time for giving, getting:), love, joy, candy, singing, programs, decorating, dancing, and freaking out. I know that this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but why do I get so stressed out and edgy during this time? I have a ton of tests to study for, money to spend, family to make happy. All I really want to do this Christmas is jump on a huge boat (.....not any random boat, preferably a cruise ship) and go on a long vacation. I need a vacation that will mentally take me FAR away from the USD music department. I am starting to really dislike this place and most of the people that I see here.

Also, in other news, I am getting so sick of living in SoDak. I want so badly to experience something else for a change. Don't get me wrong, I love the solitude in this state, but I have had 22 years of solitude and am ready to see people.....or a mall...or skyscraper.....pretty much anything. I feel like I've seen everything there is to see here. I'd really like to move to Hawaii...or Alaska. Wow, those are total opposites. The reason I like them is because they are far from here....

Update.

In an update to my last post, I thought that maybe [aim] actually COULD dress herself as she came to school the other day looking......well, more dressed up. Not good, just more dressed up. However, it was confirmed today that my previous entry was completely correct. She can not dress herself. That's all.

[aim] Irresponsibly Uncommitted

So I have this friend who has been getting on my nerves slightly. In order to protect her identity, let's call her
[aim] <------(read that in IPA). And her middle name is Irresponsibly. Yup, and her last name is Uncommitted. Even though I completely randomly chose those names.......they do fit her quite well. So anyway, sometimes I want to shake her and scream at her, "GROW UP!" She's 22, but can't get herself up in the morning to go to class. She never does any work for herself....instead, she just copies off of me! :) How convenient for her! Oh, and then there is the issue of dressing herself. It really is sad that sweat pants and a sweatshirt is the most professional she can look. I guess I am forgetting the fact that she doesn't care about being professional....since she doesn't care about school at all. Am I missing something? Ok, just checking.

I have TWO LJ friends. woot.
