Consummated Randomness

OMG! I didn't think life could change so much in a summer.

Well hello to all my readers out there (the few of you still reading anyways), Life for me has been really slow and really hectic over the past few weeks. Before school started this were kind of pitiful. All I would do all day is wake up next to Shrezzie, spend the day with him, twiddle our thumbs a bit, and then go to sleep with each other again that night. Then when school came nearer we started getting anxious and then we also tried to figure out our schedules together so that, if anything else, we can at least make time for the gym and a nice dinner together. So things have been going well in that area. As far as school goes...I don't really know where to start...First off, my research and methods class is going to be hard to wake up for this semester (and to stay awake for) but my afternoon class, Women in Politics, should be interesting...that is, if the bumbling sorority girls keep their mouths shut long enough for a serious discussion to take place. Plus, I'm doing my honors prep work with the teacher for that course, so I need to show enthusiasm in there. Which brings me around to the hotpoint of the day...my thesis. It turns out I am more prepared for the thesis than most students are...even though I don't have a clue to what my empirical question will be...but thats why I have a shit ton of work ahead of me this semester...independent work...work without deadlines...work that I MUST MAKE MYSELF DO! With this is mind I decided to drop a course that sounded really interesting but really benefitted me in no overwhelming way and it was just to high of a cost at this point in my career. I'm really rushing this post because I'm cooking dinner and I don't want to burn anything. Unfortunately for you all, and for me too, I won't be able to write much this semester...outside of class that is...because with my courseload and the honors prep work (including hours upon hours of reading the main literature for gay politics) and real work (still at Express...) and then keeping my heart and boyfriend happy and spending enough social time to keep from going insane, I just don't see much time leftover for my usual lengthy rants and raves and miserableness that I usually post on here. BUT I will try my damnedest to keep writing in here on a regular basis. I guess that's just life for now...and probably for the next 7 to 10 years too. YAY! I guess we will find out just how cut out I am for academia after these next two semesters.
