January 24, 2001
Wow, everything has been so insane here, it’s almost unreal. School started up for me again last Tuesday, and I have since added two more courses to the mix. I am taking a total of 19 hours, and only three of those hours *aren’t* Chemistry. Al thinks I should drop some courses, and he also thinks I am insane. I must be…because this is one heck of a load. I really want to get into a decent graduate school, and I also really think I need to get ACS (American Chemical Society) certification to do it. So, I will also be taking my final nine hours this summer. And then I will graduate. Then I am off to grad school for another 5 years, and then a job for the rest of my life. I just may be the perennial college student, yet.
Everything has been going well so far, except for the fact that everyone in the house is sick…again! Alexandria has had a snotty nose for the past 2+ weeks, and I feel like all I ever do is chase her around with a rag to wipe her nose. Now that I just got over my nasty cold, Al went and brought another one home. This one is starting out just like my other one, which was no picnic. I am going to hate so much so I get that sick again twice in one month. I am beginning to think I will never feel up to my old tricks again.
The last time I ovulated, I really felt Al and I should go for it, and see if anything happens. I was rather disappointed when he started saying it was too early, the time wasn’t right, etc. I just felt that that would have been the day for me, so to speak, and it seemed the timing was great, and I was in the mood (a true rarity nowadays), and Alexandria was napping, it seemed perfect. Alas, I was rejected. I told him that was the last time I was going to bother him about that. So far, I’ve kept good on my promise. He needs to save his strength for later, anyway. LOL
Well, that’s about all there is going on here. A friend who shares a couple of my classes with me is about 6 months pregnant. I was excited for her, and of course, a little wistful. She is due in April. I asked her what she was going to do about classes, and she had no clue. The semester ends in mid-May, so she’s going to have that baby before then. I figure if she isn’t worried about it…when and if I am in the same situation, why should I be?
