Grrrrrr

I hate 6:30 a.m. classes. I don't have one, but Damm does, and we only have 1 car, so guess who drives him? Guess who gets to get up at 5 a.m.? That's right, the Orclette. This morning was absolutely miserable-I couldn't put her down without righteous screaming ensuing. There is hope-Damm's parents have offered the use of their little brown car and in the future Damm will be driving himself.

Besides this morning everything has been going great. No internet yet .... we'll call them eventually. All the students look so young, so fresh out of highschool. Makes us both feel really, really old.

I think I have a handle on all the homework I'll need to do. Damm is a bit concerned-he's shooting for a 4.0 and he recently discovered that life in ROTC is a bunch of "volunteer" activities. Apparently they're understanding if you really can't make it, which is good for us.

I am considering taking another 12 hours next semester. That's right after Elflette makes his/her appearance. After this morning trying to get both Orclette and Bambi into the car along with all my stuff... I don't know. It was really hard. I guess we'll see. I just don't want to lose momentum.

That's it fo now, folks :D

I tried to come up with something to say. I'm failing. and wulfa won't let me finish. Guess I'm off for now.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
