I'm sure no one is reading this, but it is therapeutic to write in here. Feels like a diary to me. I always enjoyed writing. It feel like I'm dumping all my thoughts out of my head, which clears me up! I won't apologize for what I've said or for what I say. I wont apologize for who I was, or for who I am today. I am me. End of story.
It's been 5 + years since I've last spoke to any of my VMI professors, but I decided it was due time to send them some updates and say Hello. Man, am i grateful for the Internet. There really is no excuse for not keeping in touch with people anymore. It costs nothing but a few moments of your time. I learned today that 3 of my old professors have spoken about me or the work i produced while I was a cadet! Maybe they were blowing smoke up my you know what, but all my teachers there were so great and honest, I don't think they would lie to me. My Advanced Composition teacher asked me to come back and speak during the spring semester! I would love to do that and am so honored that she asked me. My old adviser was so great too. I don't think I'll ever have teachers like the one's I had at VMI. They are truly one of a kind. They are probably also dying at how much "writing skill" I have since lost. My writing has declined and although i notice it, not having my writing scrutinized all the time doesn't allow you to keep a keen eye for technical errors.
It's Tuesday night and we have lecture tomorrow. Clinicals also start on Thursday and guess who has yet to receive a clinical schedule? Oh yes, that is me....and all the other students at GCC. I will bite my tongue and not say anything else and I do not want my words to come back and bite me in the you know what one day. I just wish that they would provide our schedules in a more timely manner. Oh wait! I did happen to get an email tonight telling me that I have ER clinical make-up Thursday from 0700-1530. Wow, that's that....like 36 hours notice? Thank GOD I don't have childcare or a real job to worry about. Last semester of being a full time student. I just pray to GOD I get a job after passing boards. I wont be able to afford to live if I don't!
I was bad today and did nothing for school, other than my Thumbprint outline, which took all of 10 minutes. Since Eric works on Saturdays, I do school work all Saturday and then try to take Tuesday or Sunday off with him, since he does not have normal "weekends." It's hard not to be tempted to do some work, but I have to remind myself that it's ok to take a day of once a week and enjoy it with Eric, or running errands. Besides, I finished typing up 27 pages of notes for unit 1 yesterday. INSANE!
I did some wedding planning today....considered a destination wedding in Jamaica....would be cheap for Eric and I, but expensive for everyone else. If we do a normal close wedding, it's expensive for us and cheap for everyone else. Why can't it just be cheap for everyone? The Destination wedding is just too much to ask our friends and family to pay for airfare and hotel. It would be fun and definitely memorable, however, we would probably only get maybe 10 people to come and the whole point of us having a wedding is to share it with our close friends and family. So, we scratched that idea. we spoke about wedding colors today too and Eric decided he really likes aqua. I like aqua too, but I was trying to stay away from those light/pastel blue colors...I told him that i really like the idea of purple and i think we should stick with it. I have lots of ideas as to what i can do with a purple color scheme. He'll come around in due time. I am going to try to pick up as many swatches at DB as I can. Any color there that I could consider I am going to get and show Eric that these are his choices and we need to settle on one. They only cost $1.00 a piece. What I really think he needs to do is come with me to the store and see the color in an actual dress and make a decision. I don't know that i can convince Eric into going to DB with me anytime soon.
At this point, he keeps telling me I'm crazy for trying to plan. I told him that I by planning now, we'll know what we want when we have the money to book a place. I don't want to start our search when we could be booking (which is going to be at the 12 month mark before the wedding). oh well. It will all work out in the end.
Well, that's all I have for now. Thanks for reading.
