I'm so glad I meant to come back on my break and take a nap and all I've done is... anything BUT nap! Oh well, I got about 7 hours of sleep last night. That should keep me going until after prayer group tonight. And if not, I guess I don't need to watch 2 movies in between now and then. *wink* Yes, I have been averaging 2 movies per night for this semester. I just seem to have lots of extra time on my hands. But I'll also be getting 3 B's this semester. Unacceptable. I should be getting all A's. I have extremely easy classes. That just makes me come off as being so much more lazy. Oh well, I have a great GPA and a few measly little B's definitely won't hurt it.

I have a final to take sometime int he next three days... and then two of my classes are over! Leaving me with my 9 on campus credits and my internship which is another 3 credits. Not too bad. And I only have a few more weeks left of my internship. Sad, but it will definitely be nice to have Mondays and Wednesdays off. I wish I could quite work and have weekends off as well... but money is necessary in life as we know it. I wish I were Amish sometimes. But I have a friend who is Amish and he works at J.Crew a lot more often than I do. So money must be necessary even for the Amish nowadays. Sad.

It's time to register for classes again. Coming up in the next week. The difficulty being, two of the classes I wanted to take are not being offered and two of them are only offered at one time and with limited space. All of these courses are upper levels and required for my major or minor. This coming semester being my last this poses a slight problem. Hopefully they'll let me do the courses I want independent study. That should give me plenty of free time and less group projects! I hate group projects. We'll see on October 25th how my schedule will look. So far I'll have TR classes only, which is what I wanted. I'll have to wake up earlier than I've ever had to for college, but I need to get used to waking early I suppose. And that will leave me with MWF to work... hopefully not at J.Crew. I should be able to find something in the city of Lynchburg to do. I think I'll apply at the Hospital doing what Matt's doing now. He'll be promoted next semester and the money we'll both be making on the psych ward will definitely help out with our future. So next semester could potentially be amazing. Even though I'll have to be going to bed earlier.

That also brings me to the issue of living conditions. Do I try to get approved to move off campus again, or do I simply stay on and cherish my last semester in the dorms? I could also consider moving to a different dorm, a nicer one. One with more walls so the happenings of the hall are not right outside my door. Seriously, do people really NEED to be screaming at midnight? I don't think so.

I know I complain an awful lot about school and such, but honestly, I'm really going to miss it. I know, I'm hopefully going to do my Masters in the next year at Liberty. But that will be an online program. All my courses will be online, so very little class interaction. And the assignments are so different for online course than for in class ones. It's time to stop being a student and start working and building my career. But I have decided, that if Matt and I are wise with our spending and the Lord continues to bless us, I do not want to return to work after having children until after we have an empty nest. And maybe not even after that. I would like to be involved at church. Maybe i could work for the church as a woman's counselor or something. Something meaningful where my hours would be flexible. I know, that seems lazy and selfish, but my mom did it and his mom did it for awhile. It's the image I have of mother. And as long as we are wise with our money and we save when we need to and spend when we need to, we should be able to live a comfortable and happy life off of just one income.

One more class today. Then a Walmart run for some necessaries. Then hitting the gym. I stretched for about an hour last night after doing my pilates. My pulled muscles are finally starting to loosen and be usable again. So I'll give the gym another try and this time go easy on the weights. My poor little legs don't need to be tightened or buffed up that much. I just got a little over excited I think. haha. Oh the gym, how I hate and love it.

35 weeks until the wedding. Seems soon, huh? I know!
