Two Weeks in Review
Got my grades: 3.61 GPA (on a 4.0 scale). Not bad for not having done the school thing in forever, that and royally fucking up all of my finals. I kid not. Though I was shooting for a 4.0, I thought was on track for a 3.7 realistically, and feel I fell short by a bunch. What a little over-achiever-wannabe I am! :P
Spent Christmas at my sister's in Tennessee. Daughter was sick just days before and delayed our arrival there. But Santa got the relocation notice in time, so the kids were relieved. As for me and my love? I still don't think they like her. I really don't. But whatever. With each passing year I/we seem to become less and less and less like my family in almost every way.
Back home, partied New Year's with friends until 5:00 AM, which made my head cold worse. Blech. I'm still getting over the thing. I'm in the unenviable "everything smells/tastes like snot" phase. >.< Just thought I'd share.
What else... Ooo! Kids got head lice! Hurray for bugs... on your head! -.- Not sure from where, but that doesn't matter. Special shampoo and a fine toothed comb and they're gone.
Registered for classes. Didn't get an assistantship this semester either, so I'm still paying full price... at the out of state rate... meaning zomg fucking expensive! Student loans to the rescue; putting me once again up to my ass in debt. This educational gamble better pay off in spades! With enormous wheelbarrows of cash: non-sequential, unmarked, greenbacks (or Euros or whatever; bearer bonds are good too) preferred. Although thinking on it, briefcases of said payouts would be easier to transport; you know, the kind with the cool handcuff thingy.
*sigh*
Pitching my career and going back to school full-time has me feeling more than a little inadequate as a bread-winner. We're living off of savings and what we got from the sale of the house. Yeah... each day a little more of that "equity" gets burned to keep us warm. (Luckily it's t-shirt weather here today.) Sooo need my love to step up and start keeping me in the lifestyle to which I'd like to be accustomed. <.<
