my last entry was way too short...

...and that is probably because there is a lot i forgot to write about.

i think the most notable change from my week away was that when i left work a few minutes early on Wednesday, it was still light out for my drive to class! i can't begin to say how much better i feel when the outside world isn't telling me that its late already as i am leaving the office.
with all luck, this spring and summer will be much better/warmer then the last set.

the most exciting was that i'm finally getting a chunk of change back from the IRS. i guess all those classes i'm taking are paying off ; )
the money i am getting back will put a nice dent into what is left of my loan as well as make signing up for summer classes much less stressful.
in some ways, getting that loan was a really good thing - without it, i was living paycheck to paycheck, always stressing over how much to send to each cc each month and in a cycle of overspending. with the loan, i have no issues with making the monthly payments, having enough money left over and *not stressing*. the fact that i got that loan as a near-direct result of having my car broken into, with hindsight, it is weird to be able to align that horrible incident into 'everything happens for the best'

i'm feeling entirely braindead today - i'm on my 5th or 6th cup of tea and it doesn't feel like any of the caffeine has seeped in : /

and i'm really less then thrilled that my school books aren't in yet. the way the next couple of months are looking, i'll need to be doing a lot of school-reading on weeknights, as the weekends all have something planned, and i'm getting anxious to crack open the books and see what i'm up against. the good news is that i tend to stress over papers much more then i stress over tests, and this class only has one paper due, and that'll be at the end of may (i'm choosing to forget that it will need to be 15 pages long).
i'm also excited about doing summer classes for some reason. or, i think i know what the reason is - if i end up doing two psych classes, i'll only need two more after that to do a minor, and i like having goals to work towards.

i've been shopping too much lately.
it started off innocently enough - i went to the ghetto mall, and spent $25 total on 4 pairs of undies, a long sleeved shirt, overalls and the beginning of my next sewing project. then, the next day there was another $25 on a hat sol3 really liked on me and a bodystocking i already have one of - but, this was cheaper then they are on ebay, and i would want a replacement if mine were to rip. and now, at lunch, i got a part of sol3's housewarming present and a chinese lantern for myself - with all luck, it'll fit over the huge bulbs in my overhead light.

and yeah, i'm still braindead.
