I don't bite...I just like to nibble a little...

Monday, Monday, Monday. I hope this week goes fast. I hope the next 6 weeks go fast because then my semester will be over. I always feel bad wishing away days and weeks because before you know it, time has completely passed you by. That's the thing about life - you always expect it to get better, so you wait around for when everything falls together like it should. Does that really ever happen? Or when it does, do we even realize it? I'm thoroughly convinced that life is always this hard, always this annoying, always this long, and always this busy. I am accepting this and moving on. Until I am retired, I will be working my butt off. The end.
Anyhow, this past weekend was parents' weekend here. It was a ton of fun. I am really happy with my relationship with my parents. They are parents still, but now they are even more. It's really like having two besties around for the weekend. Except they go to bed slightly earlier than my other besties and won't drink out of beer pong cups. Haha. I like getting older and being more in control of my own stuff. I guess the weirdest thing about this weekend is the fact that we have no clue where I'll be next year. It's a big mystery.
Speaking of where I'll be next year, my applications for law school are almost done. I will send them all out by Wednesday...I guess those will be my Halloween present for myself.
I got my lumberjack costume in its entirety now. All I need are some kind of pair of boots which I'm sure I'll be able to borrow from someone. I just want to wear my suspenders. And I'm glad I am not dressing like a slut. I just read an article from Newsweek about younger and younger girls dressing suggestively for Halloween. There are literally 5 and 6 year-old costumes that are french maids and pirate wenches. Lovely, huh? Let's just keep reestablishing those gender roles earlier and earlier. I was looking at some pictures online of friends' costumes, and I saw one girl who was a Deal or No Deal girl. She just wore a dress and carried around a numbered suitcase. I thought that was super easy and super clever. Oh well, I'm a lumberjack! I can deal with that decision.
Well, it's off to preschool for me. Lovely.
