Ready or not.

So I'm in math right now. I left my notebook in the car so I don't have any scratch paper to do work. But I'm making use of the spare campus bus route map I had in my laptop bag.

I'm going to talk to my advisor when I get out of class this morning. I have an appointment with him to go over my transcript and my current class schedule so I can figure out what I'll be taking in the spring. I'm really excited, but I'm a little scared at the same time. I'm barely making it through this semester, so what in the world is spring going to be like? If it's anything like this semester has been, it's gonna be one hectic rollercoaster. But it's coming, whether I'm ready or not.

I hope we get out of class a few minutes early. I really have to pee.

On a different note, I talked to my best friend Jamie this morning. She told me that she'll be back to work next week, which is awesome. I've missed her. (She's been on maternity leave since September 15. She now has a month-old baby boy named Evan who is absolutely precious.) I hope her family stops giving her trouble though.  Right now, it's Jamie, her husband Brad, her four children (Lexi, Bailey, Callaway, and Evan), and Brad's mom Charlene, living together in a very small house. It's cramped, and with a newborn and the girls being in school, things are kinda tense for them right now. It stresses Jamie out, for sure. I wish she and I could have a girls' day and go get pedicures or something, but neither one of us seems to have time or money for that. Maybe soon though. Or maybe over Christmas break!

Oy, Christmas. It's less than two months away. Walmart has all their Christmas decorations out already. I love the holidays, really. It's a beautiful time of year, even though the weather turns freezing and all the trees lose their orange and red leaves. Still, it makes me all warm and fuzzy and I can't wait. Problem is, I really don't have any money to buy gifts this year. This past summer wiped out all my money, and I haven't been able to work much since school started. But it'll still be a good holiday season.

In fact, it may be the best one yet. Of course, I don't want to jinx anything. But I feel like things are in a better place than they've ever been. I'm in a new school, and John and I have different, better people in our lives now. No immature drama, no bitches, no douchebags. Only the people that matter. People like Heather and Matt, who are getting married in April. Heather asked me to be her bridesmaid! We spent Halloween with them at their apartment, and it was a blast. I imagine we'll have a Christmas get-together there as well. And John's friend Myles. I don't really know him that well, but he doesn't seem like a prick. And another one of John's friends, Aaron. I go to school with him (even though I didn't know it until recently), but we're in the process of making plans to hang out with him and his girlfriend, who is 20 weeks pregnant!

I just think things are falling into place. School is crazy, work is busy, but John and I are closer than we've ever been, and this is the way things are supposed to be right now. And that just makes the holidays even more exciting. I can't wait.

But now class is over and it's time to meet with my advisor. Toodles!
