It's been a while since I've logged on, longer still since I've made an entry. Shame on me, I suppose.
School: Going great, running a perfect 4.0 in Spanish III, declared my mathematics major finally (pure math), met with the math department and was told to "not worry any more about tuition." Nice, though paying for school's not been the problem, it's paying for the rest of my life that's burdensome. The bad news is that, since a lot of my early courses were considered prep-work for a math degree, I have another 5 years to go if I take 2 classes every semester, and two each summer. I need to find some way to take more school and work less.
Work: Stressful currently; lots of change-for-the-sake-of-change being instituted by management in the region, and everyone's angry. Sales are down because of the saturation of stores in the area, which was kind of done on purpose, but I feel like there's going to be a workforce downsizing soon.
Love: Yeah. She's quite possibly the one. I think I'm in love. What sucks about the relationship is that she lives 8 miles north of me, but we pretty much have to deal with it like one would a long-distance thing; sporadic phone calls, sporadic visits. We get together, but it's not terribly often. She knows how I feel about her, and she admits feeling the same, but we can't bring ourselves to utter the "l" word yet; I told her I wanted to know how we are when our time together is more mundane... every time we see each other, it's an event since it's so rare, and I want to know how we are when we're just shopping, or seeing each other for a few minutes every day.
I have a vacation week next week, though I still doubt I'll be able to get online much; new carpeting being installed over Monday and Tuesday (which means much heavy lifting of furniture those two days, as well as rearranging and putting things back in place Wednesday and Thursday), school every day... *sigh*.
If by this point anyone besides myself still cares about these little journal entries of mine, I apologize for the lack of them, for the lack of me being online, for my lack of participation in SGIndy and SG itself... I sit and wonder whether, with everything else occupying my time, I should maintain my membership here. It's gotten to the point now where I take a dose of NyQuil half an hour before I leave work so that I can collapse into bed minutes after arriving home, and possibly get 4 hours of sleep before having to haul myself back outside and to school or whatever.
It's a good life, and I like that I'm finally going somewhere with it, but I hate this lack of leisure, the ability to enjoy music, enjoy going out, enjoy meeting new people, to go bowling and drinking and puking... *sigh* It's what I get for dropping out when I was 13; by 30, most people are finished with school and just have to balance family and a job; I get to balance just a little bit more, and I'm feeling overburdened...
