Can't remember the last time I updated *yes I know I can go check, but that's not the point.

A lot has changed I'm sure.

Essentials: Aiden is 1 year old, I'm single, & still going to the U of M full time while living at home.

I'm about a year and a half away from graduating, and what am I going to do then? Maybe become an ILS worker, focusing on families with children or children with special needs.

I really want to take an Abnormal Psych class, but I just don't have the time this semester. Hopefully next. I am SO ready to be done with French, I just... am not interested in learning a new language anymore.

I can't decide on my favorite TV channel: it's between Food Network (Chopped), History (Top Shot), TLC (Say Yes to the Dress) and Bravo (Top Chef: Just Desserts).

I'm excited for my hair to be growing back out. I am very glad I chose now to experiment and cut it extremely short. I know I would have always been wondering "I wonder what it would be like to have really short hair." Now I know, and I know I prefer long hair (though shorter is so much easier to deal with, and cooler in summer). Here's to hoping it grows back fast enough to be able to put it up somehow next year.

I've definitely become more of a homebody, and I like it. While I was dating Dan we went out every week and we'd spend a lot of time being social. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, and most of his, too. But I think I like staying home more. I'd rather have going out be spontaneous, rather than having a "date night", though that's what worked best for us at the time.

( Continued... )

Just a few tickers I made... excited for when I'll be able to add another 'expecting' one!

I can see the sun outside this morning. I don't know if I can really express how happy this makes me. Obviously it's not Spring yet, but it's closer... and that's a plus. I'm looking forward to nothing more than being able to walk around outside barefoot.

Bored again. Bored bored bored. So here I go to LJ.

I want to get together people to go to like, TGI's or Applebee's sometime.. or something. After financial aid checks come in the mail of course.

I have a French quiz and a Psych exam tomorrow, neither of which I've studied for. Instead I'm going to sit here in front of my computer being lazy and listening to Dar Williams.

( Revenge of the ex-boyfriends )

I still haven't decided if I want to make this post public or not. I'm not sure how much I care. Hung out with Judy today, we walked around downtown trying to find Jamba Juice... when it turns out we were like a block away from it in the beginning. I think she might have got the wrong message with me texting her/Alex last weekend. I don't think she's "in love with my boyfriend" or anything like that. I said I didn't like them cuddling whenever they're together, and that I didn't want to talk to her at the time (I wanted to talk to Alex, but she was responding on his phone).

I guess I've just been really irritable lately. Such is part of being a woman though, right? I've been annoyed at pretty much everyone for some reason or other. And of course it's the people I love the most that I spend the most time with. So I apologize ahead of time to Alex, Chris, Cece and Shawn if you guys piss me off for no good reason, and I take it out on you. Or... if I just take my frustrations out on you anyway. Besides Thursday night I don't think I'll be doing much socializing over the next few days, though.

I suppose that's it for now. Just enjoying some music from Boondock Saints, looking forward to the Twins playing again.. and just being chill. Night.

Revised because I'm bored waiting for Cece to get here. I suppose I'll keep the original list, and just bold the ones I actually think are important.

( 102 things guys should know about girls )

I'm very frustrated right now. I guess, that might not be the word I'm looking for. I've been sick since... Wednesday? Or something. My headache has been hanging around since Monday non-stop. My stomach was acting up Wednesday pretty badly. And a cough since Wednesday night. Every time I lay down and try and breathe through my mouth I start coughing, but my nose is so plugged up I can't breathe that way either. So I keep waking up every few hours (after I finally DO manage to fall asleep), effecting my sleep very negatively.

Classes are going well though. I still love my French teacher, and the people in my class. My closest friend in that class, Karen, is going to propose to her girlfriend soon. Which is very exciting, I'm happy for her. :) Psych is alright, don't know anyone. Spent the first day talking to some woman, Fray, and this guy Robert. Still sitting next to Robert, occasionally talk. Otherwise just enjoying the content of the class. Stress Management is fun so far, it REALLY helps having it with Chris. Pretty much my favorite class. Comp Lit is after that, the class I have with Alex. Problem? Too many technical terms for stuff I already know, and I don't like the professor. I would have switched if it hadn't been for Alex in the class.

There is/was the whole thing of Alex moving into a house with Nate, Louise, Adrian, Deven and Richard. I had considered moving in with them too, but with the way things have worked out recently I can say I'm definitely NOT moving in with them. Nate (who I might have met ONCE) doesn't like me... so I know it's based solely on what other people have said about me (not likely positive - obviously). And apparently Deven doesn't like me/ my personality and the ideas that I hold about men and them being toys. He obviously doesn't know me, since that's not the ONLY thing I think about men... (though it is a big part). [[But really... that brings up a WHOLE NEW topic that I'm not going to get into, about men complaining when women get too clingy and emotionally attached, yet if we're "too unattached" they get mad about that, too.]] So Alex might still move in there. I told him to not base his decision on me, as they are his friends and have been there longer than I have. I understand my place as a girlfriend, when it comes to being compared with friends. But I told him I also wouldn't move in with him there, but I would hang out as much as I can stand to.

My plans for today are going to school in about 20 min. Getting through French (somehow - miraculously). Then coming back home and probably going to sleep. Sad existence, but I'm so freaking exhausted. Hope everyone else is doing well in school. Much love. [EDIT]: Not going to school, can't move. Going back to bed.

HEY EVERYONE!

WHO: YOU!!!

WHAT: My mom is moving all of her stuff from a storage garage to her new apartment.

WHERE: 2011 3rd Ave. (3rd & Franklin)

WHEN: Saturday June 14th, after 1pm.

There will be food and pop. Since my family helped move her stuff into the storage garage this weekend, they're not going to help 2 weeks from now, so we would both REALLY appreciate your help! Otherwise we only have a few of us to move everything in one day.
