So I suck

Wow - I really should be more dedicated to this thing - Really though I've just been crazy busy. Well, the semester is over, or I should say classes are over. It's the middle of exam week. Thank God I don't have any actual exams. I closest thing I have to an exam is a take home test, but it's more like a paper because there are 4 questions in which all answers have to be in full essay form. Ugghhh to that! But yeah, even though I don't have any actual exams, I have had my share of work to do, especially these past few weeks. Senior Assessment projects were due just before Thanksgiving and then our presentations for them were the week after we got back from break. I already turned in one 10 page paper and did a presentation. I had to do another presentation for my Disney class. I finally finished my stupid project for my News Editing class (where I had to layout an entire issue of our campus newspaper...meaning 9 pages of newspaper with I don't even know how many stoires and pictures) And now I'm still trying to push out another 10 page paper before Thursday. I really don't know which is worse - studying for an exam or doing all these damn projects, papers, and presentations. Thank God this semester is almost over! I'm so excited to be able to relax next semester and just have fun before I graduate!

Moving onto other things, since it's been a while since I wrote, I have yet to mention the fact that Matt quit his rediculous job at Walmart. Yes, that means we aren't bringing any money in at the moment, but I honestly don't care. That job was making him physically ill and the people he had to work with were the biggest group of jerks I've ever seen. So, he's been spending his time writing like crazy and he applied to Owens, so he's hoping to take some classes starting at the beginning of January. Let's hope he can get in!

Jay is 6 months old now! Oh how time flies! Some days you can still see that naughty puppy in him, but most days he's just wonderful to have around. I can remember being so scared after the first few days of having him - wondering if getting him had been the right thing to do - but now I can't imagine what things would be like if we didn't have him. He really keeps me sane and I haven't really have any problems with my anxiety since we got him. It's great!

So, I can't believe it's already almost Christmas. I love this time of year, but I hate that it's gone so quickly. Matt and I have been celebrating the season since the end of October, and now I just can't believe it's almost over. Ohh...and I got a Christmas present for myself...a new tattoo!! I love it! I went and got it this past weekend and it's just so beautiful! It took two hours and hurt like hell, but it was totally worth it! I have to go back in a few weeks to get it finished actually. But yeah, it's a sword lily, which stands for Strength of Character. And the flower grows in a really cool way where the bottom blooms die before the top ones are even out of their buds, so it's a very cool life cycle. And Tony, the guy who did it, incorporated a yin-yang sign into it, which is supposed to symbolize that I'm at harmony with the person I am, or the character I am. So yeah, I love it and I can't wait for it to be completely finished!

Ok, so I think that's enough catching up for now. I've gotten into World of Warcraft in the past few weeks...it's a really bad addiction now, so I think I'm going to go and feed that addiction. Haha.
