November first. Can you believe it? It's November and all I can think about is getting to Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Clark informed me that there are 54 days until Christmas. That means there are 24 days until Thanksgiving, right? Oh, bother. It's insane. What's bad is I'm sitting here thinking of all the Christmas shopping I need to do/ to start. We're so behind this year. It has been rough, so that's a good reason, but even still I wish I was a little more on top of things. I know some people that are completely finished with their Christmas shopping. How do they do that?
School is driving me insane. After research, it seems next semester is going to be at about the same level. I know... last year. I wish I had listened to some advice and taken more hours other semesters so I would have fewer these semesters... but c'est la vie. It seems switching advisors every semester didn't help me much. Each one kept telling me different things. Well, as long as I get the classes I'm hoping to get there should be no problems with graduating on time. If I don't... I'll figure that out when the time comes.
Lately I've been feeling like I'm losing my head. I'm not sure how to interpret the feeling for you, other than I know if I don't get a real vacation soon I may burst. Talking to my mother yesterday I realized that Thanksgiving really isn't going to be much of a vacation, because Clark and I aren't going to visit until Wednesday and may have to turn right around Friday. What fun is that? If I'm at our house I guarantee I will be cleaning, not relaxing. I suppose that's what happens when you enter the real world and can't be choosey about your jobs at the moment.
Unfortunately, other than me losing my mind, not much is going on. Everyone is counting down to something because the next month of school is so full of projects and papers. After Thanksgiving is exams, so I'm not sure which period is better... all I can tell you is that Thanksgiving cannot come soon enough. I do hate wishing time away, though. It seems like such a waste after the time has passed and you look back and wonder where on earth it went. Like today I'm wondering what happened to October. It wasn't as cold as it normally is, we didn't get snow, we actually had an autumn... so what's next? It hasn't been this way in around two years or so. Strange.
Well, I suppose I must be off before I lose my head. Studying for Hebrew Scripture and writing for Creative Writing are waiting for me. I've made my choice ;)... what's yours?
