Back to School

Me: So what does it feel like being pregnant?
Beth: Everything is... weirder.

Beth: I actually get these horrible headaches more often.
Me: Probably hormones.
Beth: Yeah, only they make me really bitchy.
Me: .... You don't happen to have one right now, do you?
Beth: No, don't worry. I don't work with you and you're not my husband, so there's no reason for me to bitch at you.

Spring break is just hours away from being over now, and I've got to say that that's a total bummer for me. But at least I only have two more months left of this wretched year, and then I'll be done with book work forever! OMG. The last several days of my vacation were very enjoyable! I was able to see my girlie Beth before leaving home, which is always a riot. She's totally having a baby right now, which is an odd sort of development for me because I've known this girl since before she shaved her legs. But now she has a cute little belly on her and it's really exciting because I know she'll make a fantastic mom. :) I also got to hang out with Katie and Chuck last night with Mike! We're trying to see each other more often, so we made plans weeks ago to go out to dinner and bowling, which was really nice. I sucked real bad at bowling, but I still had a blast. We also went to a place in downtown Kzoo which I'd never been to before, and I always like discovering new delicious eateries around town.

I didn't study as much as I should've over break. *sheepish* But you know what? Whatever!

I found out that my institutional IPPE will start on May 11th in Saginaw, the Monday after finals are finished. This summer internship is the only time during my four years which I'll have to do something school-related, but it still sucks a little. One graduate-level credit hour is worth $480, and this internship is two credits, so that's almost $1,000 of my own money I'll have to blow on this class. To make matters worse, I don't get paid for this internship (obviously) and it's a 40 hour + sort of deal, so I won't be able to work at the same time. So not only am I out a thousand bucks, but I also lose whatever wages I would've earned from working. Ugggh. And fourth year starts August 1st, not September 1st, so I also lose a month of work there as well. In a nutshell, my summer is pretty much cut in half this year. On the plus side of things, I'll be glad to get my internship done and out of the way while I'm still quasi-in the schoolish mode, and before I get too much summer fever going on.

I suppose I should probably be a good student and actually get some crap done before class tomorrow. *dies*
