Random Blatherings

I am trying to blog more and while I should be getting ready for bed, DH is playing Wii so I figured I'd take a few moments and blog. He claims the Wii was neglected as we had one of those with a "glitch" in it so had to send it into Nintendo for repair. Now there is something I could blog about, but watch for the letter I write Nintendo coming soon. I'll be sure to post. Needless to mention, I am not happy about that whole situation.

I managed to put in all eight hours at work today. It was slow, but I took some scrap booking pictures in to crop and also had a book to read. I am re-reading Marilyn Manson's book as it has been about eight years since I first read it. After working on my own literacy site last spring for a web design class, I realized in trying to reflect on books, how I couldn't remember a lot! I needed to read a synopsis of it or the back cover as a refresher. I am not sure why I picked Manson's book to read (over) first. Probably my continuing obsession with him.

I realized today in a month, I'll be a full fledged college student again - call me a nerd, but THANK GOODNESS! Don't get me wrong, I have loved the free time and summer and not really having to worry about anything, but I miss school. It's really making me think about continuing on with my education. NDSU doesn't currently offer a PhD program for English and I know that if I wanted to pursue that road, I'd have to some how talk DH into moving someday. Not a feat I want to take on right now. Like I told Des the other day, I'll see if when I have a job in which I love and am appreciated, hopefully things will be better and I'll be content in not furthering my education. I have plenty of time either way. Going back to school as an "older" student has taught me you are never too old or not young enough anymore to do something. And honestly, I've loved being the older than average student. I am sure the youngsters don't like me much, but that's ok. Maybe I keep at least one of them on track a little better in trying to keep up. Can you tell I really do want to be back in class? I know, in two months I'll be dragging butt and be tired and wonder what I was thinking. LOL, not regretting it though.

Boy, for not having much on my mind as I sat down to blog, I've certainly come up with a lot of rambling... I miss writing. I know that. I need to work on writing more. For now though, I need to work on getting some sleep - "Friday" for me tomorrow. YEA!
