1. Started back to school last night. Although last quarter about killed me, both with personal stuff and school stuff, this quarter is also going to be exceptionally hard. I'm taking Physiological Psychology which is basically an anatomy class which means learning everything there is to know about the brain and nervous system. Lots of memorizing. Luckily that's how my brain works so I'm pretty good at the memorization.
2. I don't do well with lots of unstructured free time. I guess it's the need to feel productive that gets to me. I can spend part of an afternoon reading or hanging out but if I have too much of that, I get really antsy. Like I should be doing something worthwhile... like laundry :) I'm a planner by nature, and I'm pretty structured which is a good and bad thing
3. I came home to a wonderful dinner last night. One thing that sucks about night classes is that I miss dinners with the fam. Since my class ends at 7, and the days are getting longer, I'm going to make dinner up ahead of time so Cole can just pop it in the oven and we can all eat together when I get home. So yesterday, I made up a lasagna and left cooking instructions for Cole. When I came home, he had everything set out on the dining room table. Plates were dished up. Candles were lit. Drinks were poured. It was wonderful :)
4. Lots of talk in my blogging circle lately about how much of what we share online is representative of our real lives. I think that I'm pretty open on here since most everyone that reads my blog knows me in real life - at least to some extent. My feeling is that it's your blog and each person has to set their own comfort limits.
I'm off to memorize parts of the brain. Let's hope my brain can keep up!

I would totally have a kid if I could somehow assure they'd be half as cool as cole. ;)
1. You really did have one hell of a last semester. I hope there aren't as many papers this time!
2. I'm the same way. If I'm not doing something, I tend to feel like I *should* be doing something and that is a weird anxiety because I'm not sure what to do with it.
3. Cole sounds like an awesome kid. And great idea so you could have dinner together!
4. *applause*
I get antsy with free time because I feel there are so many things I should do. Like play games, write music, catch up on movies, take pictures, write a story, whatever it may be. I sometimes get overwhelmed prioritizing the stuff like that :)
synthetik- he thinks you're the bomb as well and loves to "rock this b-word!"
RE - You and I are planning soulmates. I hate the "shoulds" as well.
lynch- you do pretty well with free time :)
I will set your table if you make me lasagna. I will even load the dishwasher after dinner :o) I'm a sucker for lasagna.
Bev, you're one of the smartest and most motivate women in my circle of friends.
If anyone can do it - it's you! No worries, you'll do great.
I haven't had free time in so long I don't even know what I would do with myself if I did.... that's what you get when you have four little girls.
At some point they'll move out and then I'll be a mess!

MissMegs - I'm always up for cooking if someone else will clean up!
Tiffany - Thanks for the kind words! Each new quarter brings the slight fear that I may secretly be stupid :)
