Professional Student?

Not that I want to spend my entire life in school…Tis really the last thing I want to do…But…I’ve been considering, and I’m not sure how it came up in conversation, but Mum had sort of had the thought as well apparently…After getting my Associates in General Studies, of perhaps going back and getting another Associates in something…With the way Harley’s been going (and I think that is where the conversation came up actually), Child Psychology would be a good place to head. Thing is…I would have to take an evil math class…I know this. *burns down Algebra in all it’s forms* I may be able to pass it, with the proper teacher teaching…But I’m not sure. I was surprised that I managed to pass my Pre-Algebra class my first semester (especially with a 3.5).

Anyway…Dropped off my application & survey-thing for the International Honors Society today…So yeah…I’ve joined the smart people. *laughs* *shakes head* Still not sure how I managed that one either. It boggles my mind that I’m actually in the top 10% of the whole entire college. *shrugs* Guess I must be doing something right.

Got my refund check the other day…And it’s already quickly dwindling…And I’m not getting anywhere near what I had hoped from it. *sigh* Part of it went towards house payment, as house payment went towards new furnace. [Which we still owe $1500 on, and it has to be paid by the 1st of December.] Part of it was suppose to go towards property taxes, but they are going to have to wait for a little while long…*shrugs* Another good portion (pretty much what’s going to be left of the check) is going to have to go towards Mum’s truck repairs. Apparently, Mum has also decided that when the Jeep gets sold to wherever it gets sold to, that money is going to have to go towards the furnace. *sigh*

Anyway…Did get material to make my Halloween costume. I’m going with what I’m hoping is the simplest of it all…Kankuro from Naruto. I’ve got a pair of pants that will already work, so really all I need to do is make a top, and hood. I’ve got a headband on order to go with the costume.

I’ve been working on my next assignment for 2-D design. It’s not officially assigned, at least I don’t think it is, but I figured I’d get a head start on it. It’s the whole Black and White montage thing. I’ve somehow ended up with mermaids in my first design. I think it’s going okay. *shrugs*

*thinks* Is there anything else? Hmmmm….Aside from my mini meltdown last night. Well, not so much a melt down…Just the whole knowing Todd has to work for two weeks straight, and the chances of getting to see him is slim to none…*sigh* So I did something I haven’t done in quite a while…I cried over not getting to see him. I use to do that on an almost daily basis, back before we were even a real couple…Or an official couple, whatever you want to call it.

Seriously though…My heart is full of all kinds of aching feelings. Part of me feels quite foolish for it…But I just can’t help it. If anyone would of told me at the beginning of the year I’d be feeling like this (ever), I would of told them they were crazy.

Does seem like there is something else, though I can’t for the life of me figure out what the heck it is. *shrugs*

Eh…My ability to concentrate is kind of poofed.

Oh yeah…Something random…I snuck a bit of ‘fun money’ out of my check…I picked up a copy of ‘Lord of the Flies’. I’m almost done with ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. I have a stack of books (though I have to relocate them now, as I moved them to free up a table for Sonja to eat off from earlier) that I’m going to be reading. One of them being ‘The Red Room Riddle’, another being ‘The Halloween Tree’…Also stories by Edgar Allen Poe, and some Grimm’s Tales. [Yeah…Getting in the whole Halloween Spirit.]
