Post #200

The final days of the semester are upon me. Well, the final 30 at least. I have about a month left, and then time for summer! The summer isn't coming fast enough, if you ask me. I'm quite ready to work, work, work, and enjoy all of the finer things Wilmington has to offer me. I'm ready to learn how to sail, and I'm ready to spend more time with Dorothy.

The weather here has been fantastic, and I've been getting myself outdoors a little more. It's been really nice, and I am really loving it. Dorothy and I have been to the beach at least 6 times the last two weeks, and darn it, I plan on being there a lot more with her. Sometimes, she makes the beach experience a little stressful (she likes to bark at all of the birds, and people that pass by), but there are the times when she will just sit right next to me, and watch the water. I think the more I expose her to the beach, the less she'll care about the birds, and the less stress she will cause me.

I met with my academic advisor to talk about my senior year. Here is the lowdown of how it is going to be: Fall 2010 -- I will be taking 6 (yes, SIX) classes. This means 19 credits. This also means that I had to email the Dean of the School of Education for permission to do so. Because, I am one credit hour over the limit of 18. Fall is literally going kick my butt. I know that I will be able to handle it, I will just need to organize my time better, and stop procrastinating!

Remember when I blogged a while back about how I don't know how to effectively organize my time? And how I procrastinate like no other? Well, it's still true. I did really well with time management and not procrastinating at the beginning of the semester. And then, I quit my job for another one...and then that one is taking forever to get going (that is frustrating) and now that I have more time on my hands, I'm finding it harder to management my time! Isn't that nuts? It's like, I have more time than ever to finish assignments and projects, and to study for test, and I don't. I think it's because I think I have more time on my hands than I really do, and I end up putting things off. Eventually I look at the clock and say "Holy crap! I have one hour to get that 3 page paper done and turned in!" It's ridiculous how I have let myself get that bad. So, I'm trying to fix that this weekend.

The boy and I have been hanging out more. :)

My friend, Michelle, flies into North Carolina on Wednesday. That's only 5 more days! We've been waiting for this for a long time, and I can't wait! She is going through a really tough time, and I can't wait to be with her to help her through it. I know that I will only be with her for a couple of days, but it breaks my heart that I can't be with her all the time. This tiny trip will be good for her, and it will also be good for me. :)

Hmmm...I don't think I have anything else to say. I guess I'll start the paper that was due on Thursday. I knew I wasn't going to get it done, so I asked for an extension. Isn't that awful? See what kind of student I have become?
