Great Expectations

Wow, so here I was all ready to start being a serious, every day blogger. I guess I kind of knew that it wasn't going to happen. I apparently like to set high standards for myself that I never meet. I have been so incredibly busy lately. I haven't been doing nearly the amount of school work I should be doing.

Right now is a prime example. I should be writing my Human Development paper or reading for my English classes or writing my lesson plan for next week. I'm really ready for the holiday season. Yet I have little money to spend this year. I don't know when everything went so downhill.

At least Americans turned out to be smart for once. I really am so proud to call myself an American. Here's to hoping the Obama administration will live up to the expectations. I really hope he does. I feel like I was too young to really remember any president other than Bush. That within itself is such a sad thing. I'm hoping things will start to look up.

there are first times for everything...

In all honesty, I don't know what has possessed me to start a blog. Sometimes I feel like my writing is interesting and other times not so much. I don't even really know why I have this blog, but I have a feeling I might just be needing it to kind of vent and get away from things.

I took a 'Writing Reflective Essays' class a year ago. My professor always talked about how writing is extremely therapeutic. Here's to hoping I get a free therapy session then. I actually loved that class. I felt like I grew, not just as a writer, but as a person. I love being able to experience little things that make you feel like you understand yourself better. Sometimes being able to understand yourself and your desires can be the most difficult thing.

I had the worst time trying to think of a blog name that might actually mean something to me. All I could think about was the song from the Beauty and the Beast Broadway-Change in Me. I thought it might be an intriguing title. I guess having my ipod on shuffle while I cleaned today amounted to something!

Today was quite strange. Ever since I got sick on Tuesday the whole week has gone topsy turvy. I used to love Halloween so much and this year it just crept up on me without any warning. It wasn't nearly as fun as it should have been. I guess I'm just too worried about school and my financial situation...it's really becoming quite a drag. I did get to dress up my baby dog, Rudy! He made the absolute cutest hot dog and then a pumpkin.

Mark also gave me roses today--which he hasn't done in a long time. They made me really happy. He makes me really happy. Usually. But I really loved the flowers. I'm definitely considering using that type of rose as my flowers for my wedding. I guess we shall have to wait and see, as I change my mind everyday...
