back to class

Classes start back up on Monday and, to be quite honest, I am NOT looking forward to it. I’m stressed about how little I retained from last semester. I go into clinicals in two weeks and I do not feel ready AT ALL. If I had more hands-on time in the labs it night have been easier but logic…it fails. Oy. Make or Break time…again. Here’s to not crying on too many of the trips home.

friendship

Let’s just get one thing straight.

My friends mean the world to me. I would, will, and do anything I can to protect them and be there for them. I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t do anything they could for their friends. Sure, there is that line where your wellbeing and happiness should be taken care of before trying to keep your friends happy, but seriously, stop and listen to what they have to say first before jumping to conclusions and start calling them, or their actions, unnecessary names.

I suppose that in the end, this is how I can tell who really gives a damn about me in return.

Canon EOS 400D Rebel XTI

CompUSA is going out of business and their cameras are 15% off.

So, even though David really wants the 4OD, he is quite content with our latest purchase: the Canon Rebel . It’s lovely to have an SLR camera again!

Photos. Not with the new camera because David doesn’t know how to share, but with the S2 IS.

what a start to a new year.

I Have a list of things that I need to improve and do for the new year and one of them is to get back into blogging. Message boards are nice and all, but I think I need to be able to look back and see how I can improve. The past six months or so I haven’t blogged much at all, mostly due to the hellhole the site I was journaling at was becoming, and the past six months I’ve found myself becoming more bitter, more lost, and at a loss of where to find guidance.

The new year wasn’t kind to us this morning, however. David was cut off on the interstate and fishtailed off the road, down a steep slope and stopped in between trees. I’ve never been so thankful to have that little car – any larger car would have rolled. Both he and the car came out miraculously unscathed. A few feet earlier or later and he would have hit a tree.

On top of it, after paying the towing company, he lost his credit card and, get this, I can’t report it lost because they’re closed for the holiday. I really hate Chase. I can’t wait to get our tax money to pay off the credit card and cancel it. They’re customer service sucks nearly as bad as microsoft’s and the APR is just ridiculous.

One of my other resolutions was to stop being such a negative nancy and to be more cheerful. Today isn’t making that very easy.

one.

All I can really say at this point in time is that I am SO glad that the semester is over. I was at that point of near collapse and this month long break could not have came soon enough. I’m hoping things fair better this next semester sanity-wise.

Word has it David will be deploying again the summer of 2009, though it could be bumped up to as early as September 2008. Either way, he’ll be missing my graduation again I’m sure. It’s still so far off that I haven’t started stressing about it yet.

That’s about all I have at the moment.
