Dexter

Been watching a lot of Dexter. (Last weekend, yesterday, tonight) It is good.

I haven't nothing more to say really. School is going well. I enjoy classes. Though there is a lot of HW, I don't actually mind doing it. Its...doable. I feel comfortable in my classes, meaning I can speak more. Not to say that when I don't speak I'm uncomfortable...I just like the classrooms and the teachers and the students and the subject matter.

Oh - and I've been drinking coffee. I had coffee both Monday and Wednesday - very logical, in my opinion, cause I have 8am classes. However, I had coffee again today, and I'm fantasizing over my next cup - what I'll experiment with next time. (In my office I can experiment with different ingredients.)

I'm trying to keep my sleeping schedule more regular. I failed last night - stayed up late, slept in this morning. Besides that though, it hasn't been too bad. I think the coffee helps - naps are my true weakness and the thorn in any successful sleep schedule. I'm so tired by the time I'm finally home, I nap, and then I can't get to bed until late. The coffee keeps me energetic til a normal time. I'm actually going to go to bed after I finish up this post and the rest of my online routine.

Oh! And something pretty exciting - I decided to look into my "degree plan" or whatever you want to call it - did the math on how many quarters I have left. Its not something that I've ever really thought about because I always knew I'd be able to graduate on time. However, looking through it, I see I can easily graduate a quarter early. My next three quarters all have a 12 max credit load. I would graduate even earlier if some of the classes weren't only offered next winter. Knowing the end point makes it seem more real. And even though there is a whole other year, it seems really soon. I think because it really makes a different of six months - because if I stayed through spring then I would work in the summer.

Since I've seen the projected end to my time at college, my mind has been racing. Part of me is really sad to leave Bellingham, not because I don't want to be somewhere else (Edmonds), but because I know that once I leave - whenever I come back to visit it wont be the same. I won't be in college. I won't live here. Its...sad. And even though I'm only just over half way through with my time here, seeing as my whole time here is less than 4 years, it really is very very short. And it goes very quick.

Another part of my mind is racing too though - all the plans on what I want to do after college. Where to live, where to work, how to keep my health insurance, what furthering education I want to do....its all fun to think about. I can see myself getting a job at a daycare, finding a cheap place to live (possibly with friends (B+B?) ), taking one class a quarter until I'm ready to start school for real. I know I want to get an early education degree - but thats so real. I almost feel like taking a couple quarters of intro french to give myself a break. I know I'll need a break.

But anyhoo, I guess I did have things to say. When I started this post all that was on my mind was Dexter. I think that is very understandable though...Dexter is an amazing show.

K, well its my bedtime! (Well I gotta read my French book en s'endormant)
