tell me if you've heard this one:
school is hard.
it's hard and sometimes it feels like i may be buried alive. trying to get a grasp on homework and just when i think i've got things under control (or, well, reasonably) guess what? it's a new week, with new reading assignments and new discussion assignments...
school is in full swing, and i'm going to survive - i'm going to pull myself together, get organized, and stay on the ride. it's like a roller coaster now - i can't get off, so i might as well grit my teeth and meet the next turn with sheer determination to come out alive.
this is a story of a caged bird breaking free...
"a prayer for the wild of heart that are kept in cages" - Tennessee Williams

sunday, sunday
in the past, sunday was probably my most loathed day of the week... followed closely by wednesday. i guess that sounds rotten, but it's the truth so, no apologies.
then something amazing happened - i moved! and i love sundays, i love wednesdays... not so much when i'm working, but still - not so bad.
but, there's one thing that i hate about sunday, and that's the fact that, after you've spent your whole life enjoying sunday meals that are just heavenly (if you can excuse the occasional temperamental interaction with a sibling or two)
spending sunday afternoons alone...? with whatever meal you can manage to scrounge up, especially on a day like today when it becomes glaringly obvious that a trip to the grocery store is needed, can be kind of... lonely.
let's just say, i miss my family...
i miss my home.
but, i guess you can't always have your cake and eat it, too.
oooh... cake. that sounds good... i should put a cake mix on my grocery list...

love and marriage...love and marriage....
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. - Oscar Wilde
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry. - Rita Rudner
We took our time [preparing for marriage], we looked forward to it; didn’t
want to run into something and have nothing to count on but love... - Aunt May, Spider-Man 3
well, if you can't tell... marriage is on my mind... since m and i are finally engaged!
