Well I've wanted to update for a few days now, but of course my internet broke again. I've had chronic problems with the connection at my apartment, and just two weeks ago I went an entire week without access to the Web. I use it a lot for assignments and communication with my classmates, so that was very frustrating, but apparently during that week they replaced almost the entire system, and they told me I shouldn't have any more problems. Now, two weeks later, I have problems and they say that the only two pieces of the system which weren't replaced last time both broke at the same time over the weekend. -_- Oy vey.
School is also bugging the crap out of me, but mostly because of politics and random changes to the curriculum which make me want to pull my hair out. I'm sort of type A, so when I don't know things far in advance, I go a little crazy. This has happened so much this school year that I think I may've reached the point when my emotions sort of shut down. I've stopped trying to fight it and instead I'll probably remain submissive to further ass-rapings between now and May 7th.
This weekend I got to see Nick and Colleen, which was pretty awesome because I hadn't seen Colleen in a really long time, and I had so much P school material to unload on her. We're both taking the same classes right now but in different cities (she's in GR), so now when I bitch about stuff she can share in my misery, and it's simply delightful. She and Nick are also doing a lot of things to plan their wedding, and that's something exciting for us to talk about together too. Nick and Mike usually go off on their "man date" anyway, so Colleen and I are always left to entertain ourselves. ;) We went bowling and out to ice cream, and although the ice cream was delicious, I sucked real bad at bowling (again).
I also got to meet one of Mike's old co-workers Joe, his wife Alyssa, and their 7-month old son, Josh. I really had a great time and they made some mouth-watering salmon, but more of note is that I actually enjoyed being around their baby. This is truly a milestone for me because I've simply never liked babies. They sort of scare me a little bit, with all the attention they need, their absolute dependence on their parents, and of course all the whining, crying, pooping and throwing up on you they do. Omg. But I actually played with Josh a lot and made him laugh, and in general it was sort of a refreshing experience. It even made this tiny little part of me deep inside long for motherhood.
Fortunately, such moments pass quickly. :D
This weekend is the Mom's birthday, so Mike and I are going to try to see her on Saturday for dinner or something else fun like that. I'm so excited! Also, I have another baby shower for one of Mike's cousins to go to on Sunday with Debbie, and I'm looking forward to that as well. Another busy weekend, and I find myself looking forward to just one when I have nothing to do, no one to see, and no plans to fulfill. Lol, yeah right.

oh psh, i don't believe it for a moment!
you can't wait to dominate the earth with little mikey-ananda babiez! i for one will be on Pluto (remember, the "ex"-planet?) by then curing aliens of alien diseases (b/c i just don't "get" humans)....
where was i going with this?
...right. you're gonna love motherhood. i can tell. :) i'm glad it was a brief glimpse tho, b/c one cannot always get continuously excited about parasites.
unless, it was micro lab or something. and i was your lab partner. O.o
Although any spawn Mike and I could create together will no doubt be adorable and gifted in many ways, it's really not even on my To Do List yet. And I'm not even talking near the top of that list, but on it anywhere AT ALL.
Right now, all I really want is to graduate, marry Mike and be swept away to my castle in the mountains to live happily ever after. I would also like to get a kitten, or a dog, or both. But really, I would take Mike and my doctorate gift wrapped, please. ;)
ok *hands you a badass gift*
YESSSS
