Finished (mostly)

I have been a bad friend/blogger/pretty much everything lately. Work and school got busy simultaneously. It was the perfect storm of business.

I'm finished with the wretched, turned in late, totally crappy research proposal. All I have left to do is turn in my final, which is done but needs to be double checked against what the childen came up with yesterday, and then I hopefully never have to take research methods again. Hopefully I wont flunk. If I do, I'm going to work at Wal-Mart

I'm glad this semester is over. I hope Ill be excited to go back next semester. It was a good semester, but it just got old by the time last week rolled around. I was sick of driving an hour to school and an hour home. sick of my classmates (though they're smart and adorable and I really do like them), sick of worrying about work and school and all the other things, like clean laundry and Christmas gifts. I mailed my car insurance in late because I flat out forgot it was due.

it snowed like crazy yesterday. The drive to mom and dad's was interesting...Since they live in the middle of God's little acre, there are no snow plows or salt trucks. You have to putter and pray some redneck has already been down the road so there's a little path for you to follow. You also have to pray some redneck doesn't try to run you over. I get huffy about winter driving. I take to the road chanting the mantra 'kiss my ass...I ain't goin any faster' (I don't worry about grammar). On a snow packed road yesterday, somebody in a jeep tried to pass me. I drove on merrily, listening to Loretta Lynn for moral support and staying the course at 25mph.

I'm emailing in that damn final today, and tonight I'm going to watch a movie guilt free. And I'm going to knit. And I might drink cocoa, the real stuff. You know, the full sugar Swiss Miss! With big fat marshmallows.
