Thoughts of the day

I am feeling very inspired to write a blog right now as I am sitting on my couch watching the movie "Julie and Julia". This really is a fantastic movie. I feel like I need to get up off the couch and cook! But, alas, I am not feeling that well so will do the other popular thing in it: blog. I know that I do not have the thousands of fans on it like Julie, but, I do keep this open for anyone to read (hopefully not a mistake), so I am sure that some people are curious enough to secretly read by blog!

Last night I went to my friend Daryl's going away/engagement party. It is hard to imagine her not being here for so long! She has been one of my closest friends for many many years. We even lived together for a year! I am really going to miss her. But I know that she will do great things, and has a lot of love to return back home to!

It was great to spend time with the girls last night as well. We are planning on going out again once more before Daryl actually leaves. It is hard to believe that we won't all be together for a long time. Wow, reality check. We are growing up. How do I make this stop? Actually, I feel like I am the only one that isn't growing up. Everyone seems to be at a different place in their lives except for me. Standing in a circle with all of my friends and their significant others (mostly husbands), just made me realize how different I am. It is really just times like those where I really feel like that. I knw this is completely lame, but I feel slightly pathetic that I don't have that. It is a very lonely feeling. Especially when I went home alone afterwards. Oh well... my time will come eventually... or at least I keep hoping.

I went golfing yesterday for my dad's birthday. I actually forgot how much I enjoy going! I didn't have the greatest game ever, but I did a lot better than I thought I would! I really would like to play a lot more. I even have a fantastic farmers tan from it! My dad was very embarassing though.. oh man. He just makes the most crude remarks ever. I am no prude, but WOW. I get really embarassed when we are in public. Especially when he is drinking. There is nothing to say or do to make him stop... ugh.

The semester is finally in it's last week. Yay! It has been quite a long one. But I am soo glad that I switched my major to elementary education. I love it! It is okay that it is taking me much longer to graduate, because I will be doing something that I actually love. This semester is going so well for me. I have great grades, it has been a lot of work, but totally worth it. I start the program in the fall and will actually be at an elementary school! It will be great to finally start working with kids and get to be part of the experience. So much better than in a classroom. And I won't have to pay a million dollars in parking!

I need to finish my reading log.. 50 books to write about! Til next time...
