A day in the life of Thor & Doomsday

12:00 pm- Mom comes home, and we patiently wait for our afternoon treat. We only get one if we were good, i.e; no pooping, no peeing, no tearing mom's underwear out of the drawer, no getting into the trash, no chewing on dad's guitar, no eating cardboard. Once she scans the area, we are in the clear.

12:10pm- After eating our treat, we are now really riled up. Its time to start playing. We make as much noise as possible, and run around the house wreaking havoc. Our "playing" is wrestling, chasing each other around, and chewing on each others cheeks/ears/arms/ or legs. The goal is to annoy mom as much as possible. Sometimes we mix it up and instead of tormenting each other, we seek out the cat and torment her. We find it very fun to annoy her. After all, its two against one.

12:11 pm- Our playing quickly turns into one of us whining or whimpering because the other one got too rough or was biting too hard. Mom yells, and we have to go to our separate corners. We sulk for a few minutes, and wait for mom to leave the room.

12:16 pm- We quickly get over our little fight, and its back to Play time.

12:39 PM- Our afternoon play session really tires us out. We can only go for about 20 minutes, because then its time for our 17Th nap of the day. We usually nap for about fifteen minutes, and then its time to start our cycle all over again.

3:36 PM- Dad comes home, and we pretend like we have been neglected all day. Sometimes we can score a treat from him too, but it depends on if mom tattles on us. Needless to say, our life is filled with playing and napping. It's rough.

Releif!

So today I went and met with my academic adviser, and I found out I only have THREE more academic semesters left, and then I am out of this joint!! I can not wait. We made a layout of the remaining classes I still have to take, and my schedule will be relatively easy. I will probably have to take a class this summer, which will cost me an arm & leg, but it will prevent me from having to take 18 credits next fall. I will also have to do my internship in the summer of '09, but I will technically have my degree & will be able to walk the line in the spring of '09. ( By the way, my internship will be 40 hrs/week, for 11 weeks, UNPAID!)
I am so excited. It's good to have that feeling that there is actually a light at the end of the very long and treacherous tunnel I have been traveling. I am so grateful for all of my friends and family who have supported & never gave up on me when it came to school. I realize I have made a lot of mistakes, and wasted a lot of money, but I finally know where I am going in life.
Most of all, I am really thankful for Bevan because he is the one who had to take the brunt of my emotional breakdowns, and tear filled nights when I was struggling with my classes, and deciding to drop out of engineering. He has always been supportive, and told me he would love me no matter what I did. He said he would even love me if I was a "broke Hippy with an English major."

First Day

Monday, August 27, 2007

Today was the first day of school. By now, its pretty much an everyday occurance for me. No big deal. However, it was Bevan's first day too. I was really excited for him. I felt like I was sending my baby (hypothetically speaking) off for his first day of school. As he was leaving, I bombarded him with " Don't forget your ID card on the table!", "Babe! Don't forget your lunch in the fridge.", "Call me when you get a break!". He probably couldn't wait to get out the door and away from me! But after he got out of school, he called me, and he sounded very excited. No matter how busy or broke we will be this year, hearing that excitement in his voice is worth every penny, and every minute.

My classes however were incredibly boring. My first professor sent someone in her place, and all we did was collect the handout and leave. An hour class turned into a five minute class. I then had to wait 8 hours, ( yes, I said EIGHT hours) for my next class. That class will be interesting. At first, I felt a little out of my element. I am so used to my engineering classes where everything is so precise, logical, and filled with rules and equations. But my HCA class was scatterbrained, and unorganized. My professor couldn't even figure out how to separate our class into groups since there were an odd number of students. I felt like pulling out my hair. So I finally raised my hand, and told her how to do it. In this class, there will be no midterm or finals. There is only weekly quizzes, and group presentations. Hopefully an easy "A".

Well, its time for bed so I can start my day all over again tomorrow.

Slowly learning.

I decided to create this blog so many of my distant family members could see what is going on in our crazy/hectic/busy lives. I promise to update this as much as I can, and to keep my potty mouth to an absolute minimum!! I'll try and add pictures as much as I can.
