A Brief Breath
Finals are here, and I might go crazy. I’m one to enjoy an unscheduled afternoon, taking in the hours and letting them roll over me until they slowly disappear into the past. I like wasting some time with nothing to do.
Unfortunately, that is NOT what my life looks like at the moment. I’ve been driving myself crazy writing papers, though I can finally see the end approaching. I’ve got two more papers and three finals before the semester is over. Most of the other schools in the area are already done so that’s a little frustrating, but it’s alright. I just wish I could sit outside to write my papers. But it’s too bright for me to see the computer screen out there. So I’m stuck indoors until I get these papers out of the way.
But even when finals are over, my life will continue to be highly scheduled for a while. I’ve got a final on Friday and two on Saturday. Then on Sunday my parents are coming down to help me move all of my stuff into the duplex that Nick and I will be renting for the next year or so. I don’t actually get to move in, but he is letting me store our stuff there until our lease begins on June 1 so we don’t have to move it twice. But I won’t be around to enjoy the first 3 months of my lease anyway, because on Monday (in just 5 days!), I head back to Washington!
Michelle and I are going to take 5 days and enjoy the roadtrip, spending a day in Yellowstone just for fun. We’ll get in to Fort Lewis Friday afternoon and Nick will HOPEFULLY *fingers crossed!* be home a week or two after that!
Oh, I’m so excited to get my husband home! For the first time in a while, I will be thanking the Army for something. Sending my husband home early is basically the best thing they could do right now. He’ll even make it back before my 21st birthday. I’m SOOO excited to have him again. We’re much better when we’re together!
In the meantime, however, I don’t really have time to stop and breathe. This was the break I’m allowing myself for today. I have to write a paper for tomorrow, and I really shouldn’t be stopping to blog at all, but I’m going crazy and needed a distraction. So… back to the Politics of Marriage in the United States, India and Sweden…
