The Nerd in Me

As the first day of my last semester of school (will it be the last one ever?), I am pretty excited. I'll admit to being a nerd and say I am glad to be back at it. Yet, the summer did pass very quickly. I hope I can enjoy the last few weeks of nice weather even with school. Part of me thinks my schedule is a lot lighter this semester than the two past, but one never knows. I'm concerned with the one class already - will it bore me to tears? I am staying positive and saying there is always something to learn. Thankfully this semester I do not have any really long classes, one being 50 mins, the other 75. Then of course my internship. I feel like I have three jobs but will focus on the two I love now. Hopefully I can let work go.

No word back yet on my interview. Am trying to stay positive there too. Part of me doesn't want to get my hopes too high yet part of me knows I am a perfect fit for that position. They will realize that and call me back. I wrote a thank you note on Saturday, so with them seeing that first thing Monday morning, perhaps I set a good thought in motion for the week.

My thoughts remain with Des and RJ today too. Tonight is the visitation and tomorrow the funeral. As of last night, I figured it best to not go to the funeral with school I know Des wants me to focus on school. Her family will be going too so that made me feel better about staying home. If it weren't the first week of actual classes and the first time of the class tomorrow, I would have no hesitationi and be going. I know they both understand.

Oddly, I am having a really good day. It was nice to sleep in this morning (off from work as I worked the weekend, took tomorrow off as well) and did a weigh in as I have been slacking on that in skipping last week. I'll admit, I was worried I had gained after our anniversary outing. The Wii Fit certainly says I have gained, which I am not understanding. My scale today read that I am down 2.5 pounds - yea! My goal was to lose 20 by the time school started, but I am 18 so I'll gladly take that. Of course, I asked my husband out for lunch today last night, but I can eat healthy. Plus, I only ate a banana for breakfast so there were some calories saved. Now, if I can just get myself through a crazy work/school schedule through December and eat healthy at the same time...
