first milestone in the journey

Today was Friday the 13th.

Today also marked one week of Rob’s deployment.

Now its time to make it a month.

Today was a good day. I went to class and then came home and took notes and washed all of my clothes… 3 loads of clothes, I am surprised I still had clean clothes to wear. My whole day was spent sitting down and washing clothes. Geoff came over my house today *surprise* and gave me air fresheners for my car… odd. We talked for a little bit, it was nice. I guess the awkwardness is gone and we are working on being friends? I don’t really know. I watched Pulse with Allison and Eric today. Amanda and I went out to Friendlys and had a nice talk….. about Rob of course, and life, and school, and how fate has control of me right now… like I didn’t already know that. Ha! Then we came back to my place and hung out in my room for a while… I showed her some things… and she said that she liked what I had done with my "little apartment" so that made me feel good about all the hard work I had put into it.

I missed Rob last night. He signed on aim while I was out running  and I was really upset about that, because I haven’t gotten to have an actual conversation with him in almost 5 days, but it is just something else that I have to get used to. He said that there may be the possibility of him getting r&r in August on the 20th which would be amazing because my birthday is the 22nd and I couldn’t even dream of a better b-day present then getting to see my love again. He said he wasn’t sure if that was this year or next year, but if he doesn’t get r&r til next year then that would mean his tour has been extended! If it is a 15 month tour then that will put him home again in July of 2008 and if it is 18 months then he would be home in October of 2008. Please, hope that its July. I am trying to get into a routine with everything… the days seem to drag on sometimes though. Ugh… I really hate this sometimes… ok ok…. all the time.

I have to go to a conference tomorrow for work… and I hate going to these things because they go all day long and I have so much school work that I could be doing instead… *sigh* I have to start working on my papers and I think that I am going to do that on Sunday along with my Trends and Ed Psych homework. That will take me all day on Sunday. May is right around the cornor and I have to start looking for a job or two. My goal… have 2 classes and 2 jobs over the summer. That way time will fly by… I don’t have to sit at the shore and watch everyone with their bf’s…. the 4th of July is going to suck this year. Besides the fact that I will be sitting there thinking about what the 4th of July really means I will also have to watch the fireworks by myself and I love fireworks… I think they are so romantic. But I guess its not really that different from all the other years…. I haven’t really been with a guy that thought of fireworks the way that I do, so my romantic vision was in my mind and that is where it stayed… heh. Me and hopeless romantic tendencies. Just more things to add to the list…. getting classes will help me transfer faster and that helps me out a lot.

I can’t stop listening to Nickleback "Far Away"

I am still having trouble sleeping…
