I have not, in fact, been trapped in the library, but I have been busy busy busy. I’m working two jobs at the moment, the one for EMS and also as a peak-time teller at a bank. The jobs are great, although there are not too many hours on the EMS front, so something is going to have to change in the near future.
School started last week, I’m taking three courses this semester, which is a full load for a grad student at Springfield. The classes seem great, although a lot more work! (a far cry from the children’s lit class I took last semester where my books were bought thru scholastic rather than the school store.)
my apologizes to Caitlin, because I think I stole her ring for christmas! my ring is not THE ring (I will say it again in case anyone misinterprets, I am NOT engaged), but it is absolutely beautiful none the less. Josh bought me a white-gold ring with a saphire in the middle and two small diamonds on the sides. it is gorgeous and something I would totally have picked out for myself, but it scared the crap out of me when I first got it. we had been together for a little over 5 months, I bought him a book he wanted, a frisbee that lights up, and something to help his back when he screws it up, NOT ring caliber gifts!! he said that it was not meant to be scary, and to think of it as a 6-month gift a little early, and he did keep to his word and not go overboard for that occasion. things with him are going really great. I was feeling a little funny for a bit, but I had also screwed up my prescription, so I couldn’t really trust my moods. That’s all now back on track and I am VERY happy. we went to Boston shortly after the new year to see the art deco exhibit that he really wanted to see before it left the MFA and we had a great time in the city. things have been more than fantastic since then.
so, enough cheezeyness from me. Where are the other 5? Dawn-the-girl? Jen? Caitlin L? Jess? Laura? I miss my girls! and as much of a slacker as I have been, I have at least been checking in, so I know what Shira, Caitlin K, and Frances are up to; congrats to you all in your endeavors! as soon as I’m on top of my finances, I will be attempting to coordinate a reunion, any ideas on location? I’ve never been to Chicago… and of course, I can’t wait to go visit Italy, er, I mean, Shira. 🙂 Hope all is well!! xoxoxo
