BORED

I enjoy my job most of the time. But it can be soooo boring sometimes when there's nothing to do. I get weeks where I'm super busy, but then all of a sudden nothing. My desk is right in the middle of the office, and my computer is there for everyone to see so it's not like I can go spend hours on Facebook or shopping online. I'm even a little nervous writing this. I like reading up on the news, but you can only read so much news. So here I am. I can't wait until I start back at school. That will help fill in the gaps. Although during the weeks when I'm super busy, having school work is not going to be fun. Hopefully, I'll really enjoy this International Development program though. It looks awesome. One of my first classes is Economic Analysis, which I'm pretty nervous about. I just keep thinking about Economics in high school, which was pretty difficult. Mr. Elder made it into like an intro college class. And this one I'll be taking now is for graduate students. I just hope I understand what's being taught. I haven't taken a class in 2 1/2 years. And I'm a little nervous about the classes being online. What if I don't understand something? I won't have a professor to go to to explain it all out for me. I know I'll be fine; new things are always a little scary. The unknown and what not. I think it's the waiting that's the toughest. I still have a little less than a month and a half. At least I'll be fairly busy. Next week is Thanksgiving, and we're having a big bash at our apartment. Still don't know how many people are coming, but I think it will be quite a few. Then we'll drive up to Atl for the Falcons game the following Sunday. John has to have his thesis in on December 4th and will defend it on the 11th. Sol is taking Admin and Facilities out to lunch on the 16th for the holidays. Then it's back up to Atl on the 18th or19th, fly out to Buffalo on the 20th, home through Christmas, back to Atl and G'ville on the 27th, then up to St. Augustine on the 31st for Kristen and Travis's wedding, finally back to G'ville on New Year's Day, and I will start classes on January 11th. I also wanted to get my engagement ring resized and cleaned before going to Olean, so I might drive down to Tampa maybe this weekend or during the weekend of December 5th. I will probably have to go alone though because John is so busy trying to finish up his thesis and do a final project for his psych class. But it would just be nice to go and do something. I feel like I've been so couped up in the apartment because I've been sick on and off all this month. First I had a uti, then I got some kind of virus; the doctor said it wasn't the flu but I had very similar symptoms. Then I was healthy for about a week, and all of a sudden I have MRSA, which sucks by the way. I'm slowly getting better, but I'll still be on antibiotics until Monday, and the doctor said my wound won't be completely disappeared by then. So who knows when it will be gone for good. I can't wait until I don't need to wrap up my leg with this stupid gauze anymore!! It's extremely irritating!

Anyways, I've probably yammered on for way too long. At least now I only have 1 more hour left of work!!! :D
