Back to the Grind

So the first week back wasn't TOO awful. It didn't draw any blood. A few tears maybe, but no blood =).

 

My schedule is pretty full. Unfortunately I have classes every day. BLAH! But Friday's I get out but eleven so it's almost like a three day weekend! 

I think the worst part is that I only have one class on Monday, which is International Relations (SO interesting!!....) and it's at 8:30 in the morning. It will take all of my strength to roll out of bed and go to class. 

Some of my classes seem like they are going to be pretty cool though. Vampire Stories for example!

Vampires, werewolves, ghosts and other apparitions... I mean come on! When have you ever read a syllabus that started out like that? And his name is Dragan Kujundzic! Maybe he's a vamp himself! ;). 

So that's one plus to the semester. 

I was pretty unexcited excited to go back, as you can tell from my awesome nine dollar, reused backpack. But I was pretty impressed by how quickly I rolled out of bed and got ready. It started out pretty harsh. Buttttt with some focus, some coffee and some makeup, it turned around. 

I've been reading the paper everyday, which has actually turned out to be educational! Imagine that!

 I have actually been more up to date on some things my Dad! Now that's pretty impressive. 

I've already had tons of reading and note taking to do. I mean come on! It's the first week! Professors do not care. I repeat, they do not care!!!! 

Having my little babies has been helpful though. Lily even offered to do my work! But she's pretty busy these days. I really didn't want to interfere with her rope chewing, so I declined. 

It's been so nice to have Nikki back in town. We have muted each other's stress somewhat, with a little dose of Bento and TCBY. 

I am getting hungry...

I also made an awesome dinner at home all by my lonesome!

It's whole wheat pasta,  parmesan and oregano red sauce (or something like that) spinach, mushrooms, onions and italian sausage, with tons of spices of course. Come on, I'm Italian! What else do you expect. 

It was mighty delicious!

I did have a few "it's just one of those days" moments. 

Such as, when I tried to get something out of the pantry, but instead the oatmeal decided to fall and erupt all over the floor, right before I had to catch the bus. 

Thankfully I have an in-home vacuum cleaner.

So over all, it's been an alright week. I think the semester should be fine, as long as I stay up to date with my work. And hey! I might even learn a thing or two!

Lily's begging for my attention, so that's my call to get the day going, with a healthy dose of job hunting! Wish my luck!

 But not before we have a little girl time. 

Happy Saturday!!!
