Short entries, long pants

 It’s getting cold again lately. I have missed this. Classes started back up and after an initial few hiccups I am back on track to full time. Roxie spent the weekend here last weekend, the first time we’d been together like that with her parents actually knowing we were together.

Now, before you go thinking "whoa wait a minute, parents?!" let me explain. Rox lives at home with her adoptive parents, who happen to be her paternal grandparents. Her "dad" uses a mixture of fear and guilt to keep up the illusion that she still has to listen to him. So, even though she’s an adult, she still asks permission to go out for the night. If he says no, she doesn’t go. I’m sure I’ve explained this before somewhere. Anyway, for the first time ever, they "let" her spend the night with me, knowingly. And apparently, just before she left, her dad asked her "There’s not gonna be any hanky panky is there?" 

"…no…?" she said.

"Oh, good! He’s not up to it, then?" 

"Oh, no, he is it’s not that. I just know you don’t want to hear otherwise." and she left. Oh Roxanna. You’re such a wonderful person. 

We did this weeked to celebrate a milestone in our relationship. It’s been yet another half a year (as of the 21st of september), and that’s kind of a big deal. So yay for us.

We’re taking two classes together this quarter; History of World Civilizations and Ballroom Dance. We were taking four, but those were the hiccups. She was overqualified for one class and I was underqualified for another. Apparently testing into 200 level english means you still have to take 101 before 102 for some reason but hey whatever I don’t make policy. So I’m gonna see if I can just audit the class next quarter. 

To all my readers, the people I heart and note on; I’m so sorry. I’ve been getting up at 6 to get to school daily, and by the time im home at 7, 8, 9pm, I’m tired. Like I am now. But I knew I had to write, so here I am. Alive, breathing, well. I’m going to read all of you, now, though I cant promise to note long ones. Just know I care.
