So class registration opened this morning for seniors. Oh how good it feels to be a senior. Getting all the classes I need in the order I want them given their limited availability. I will have 4 on campus courses, that's 12 credits. And 1 DLP course, that's 3 credits, to be completed in March. Not too shabby for the last semester of undergrad. My schedule is not exactly what I would choose if this were a free world, unfortunately, there are only certain time frames available for specific classes required.

All my classes are on TR which will be nice. Definitely leaves MWF for work. Good productive work that will aid my career as a social worker. Not some meaningless toil and strife dealing with rich pansy smansies buying overpriced clothing. I get up bright and early to be at FACS 475 at 7:40 am. Immediately after this class comes FACS 330 at 9:15 am. A brief break after this. Hopefully I'll be able to get in a two hour nap or so in this time. Getting up that early just won't work nicely with my sleeping habits. I could adjust, but most likely they will stay the same with an additional 2 hour napper in the middle there. Next is Psyc 312 at 12:25 pm. Another break. I wish my classes could be all lumped together. And finally Soci 340 at 3:35 pm. So a long day, but the breaks in between should make it manageable. My DLP course is Psyc 345. Should make for an interesting semester. Now all I have to do is find myself a good job for the semester. I don't know who will want to hire me for just one semester, but I'm sure I'll be able to find something in the Lynchburg area. Maybe at a school or early learning center, or as a nanny, or at the hospital as a pre-caseworker, or as a counselor for the social system. I'm sure I can find something or another. Then hopefully it's on to join the staff of Liberty University in some way shape or form. Not entirely sure where quite yet, but I'm sure something will pop up.

Today was a pretty good day. Better than a lot I've been having lately. Matt and I had an enjoyable day together. We went for a "lovely" walk in the rain to his car after class. It was very cold outside today. It isn't extremely cold, but it is sudden. I hope the sunshine comes back out for Sunday when we have our engagement shots done. I really don't want to have to reschedule them. Maybe we'll take them regardless. We'll see. Matt and I huddled together as we braved the pelting raindrops and the murderous winds. I thought I was about to be whisked away to Mary Poppins land quite honestly. My sturdy umbrella kept me safe though. One should always be sure to have a good sturdy umbrella in one's possession. Especially in such days as these.

My new black down vest also came in the mail today. Yay. It's finally here. And I love it. It fits me super well and is very warm. It has front pockets with warm, soft fleece lining. It snaps up the front which is why I went looking for a new puffer. My old black puffer was a zip up. Not as fun. And there's a wonderful little fully functional pocket on the upper left side of the front. I love it. I am so happy with it. And it was a steal. Great price.

Something else I love. A Beautiful Mind. I finally found it! The last of my favorites on my list to buy. Although, my Raiders of the Lost Ark is currently missing. And when it is found the thief will be... well, it won't be pretty. Russell Crowe is pretty amazing. And I love love love Paul Bettany. Oh such a good movie. And such an inspiration. And so sad. I'm glad I'm not schizophrenic. I'm not sure how I would handle it. I'm not sure how I would survive quite honestly. I'm sure I would be on some heavy treatments and in some serious programs as well. God knew I wouldn't make a good schizo.

Today was a good day. And now I am dreadfully tired. And I don't even have to work tomorrow. What a blessing.

Tomorrow I am getting a good home-cooked meal with my favorite southern family. It will be a wonderful evening.

I love you.
