Academic Responsibility

Tomorrow I start school. It's here and I'm weeping inside for a couple of reasons. First, I've completely enjoyed the two days a week that I spend uninterrupted with my little boy and second, I'm so not looking forward to homework. I've picked a couple of classes that seem interesting but, I'm merely doing them for the units and not for anything else!! I think it's an injustice the university imposing this upon me...fooey! I am looking forward to volleyball though. I need to keep in shape. I bike to my internship three times a week but, that is no where near what I was doing last quarter. *shudders* I'm turning into a fat blob. AHK!
Ok, well, those are my thoughts. They aren't much because I haven't much to say....

The weekend

I can't remember the last time I really let my hair down and just had a fun time with my old friends. Well, as of this morning I can definitely remember. This past weekend I was in Orange, County for my good friend's wedding. It was a great wedding with awesome decorations and I was the little "tinkerbell" at the door greeting the guests and handing out programs. I drove down there with a long time close friend of mine, Sarah. We had a great time listening to a Louis L'amour....I think she fell in love with the main character...shhhhhh. We arrived late Friday evening and stopped by the church to see the decorations being put up and say hello to everyone. I stayed at Chad and Sarah Simmons' house and had a great time getting to know their parents. They were so sweet to me. I knew that their mom was a real winner after she let me talk her ear off until 12:30 in the morning!!! What a sweetheart. Well, on the day of the wedding I didn't want to get up I was so exhausted from the drive and lack of sleep but, I drug myself out of bed and it was a wonderful day! After the wedding that night, we all went out and drove around the town...stopped by the beach, which we couldn't see because it was late, and then we went to Red Robin. Everyone was starved because we hadn't eaten since earlier in the afternoon. I didn't...I tried to stay true to my mantra "I don't eat after six". Hahahah....
I had a wonderful time acting young and reckless....and now I'm back to my wifely and motherly duties.

School...and stuff

Today I made the last payment I'll ever have to make to UC Davis for my education. It was a bitter-sweet moment as I clicked the "make payment now" button. The last two years of my life have been spent on the seats and streets of the Davis campus. I've made some very special friends during that time. I'll never forget them and some even watch Cylas for me.
This last quarter I'm taking "Topics in Judaism" and "Modern Islam". HAH...how politically appropriate. I'm also taking a volleyball class with my good friend Zhanna. As it stands, I'm eagerly awaiting the day that I can say I'm OFFICIALLY graduated and I'm free as a ....caged bird. Well, I do have a large cage with lots of toys...but, ...well, another day, another time. I don't want to work. I want to stay with my little Cylas and raise him. But, I know that in order to make this boat float I'm going to have to stick my oar in the great big ocean...David can't do it all by himself all of the time. I do have plans to go back to school and get my master's in Russian but, I think that will be when Cylas is about five and ready to start kindergarten. And then there is David...he needs the chance to go to school too. Well, oook, I'm done talking now.
