Celebrate Me Home

Ah, Kenny Loggins.

Well, I totally blew my week off school. I drove home after work on Wednesday (by home I mean my parents' house) and stayed there till Friday night. The only reason I came back to Roseville is the stupid meeting at work tomorrow morning. (Don't let me get started on how much Saturday morning meetings annoy me. Every Single Saturday Morning. Grrrr....). But anyway, home. :o) How I love home. I suppose at a certain age you are supposed to start considering where you currently live "home" and your parents' house becomes less "home" and more your "parents' house". But home is where the heart is, and mine will always be with my parents, and thus, at home. This house is nice, I love Jeremy and I love my cat and I love this area and our tiny floor plan, but its not home yet. It isn't home because I'm not letting it be. I'm such a baby, but I miss home!! Okay, enough whining. Just hard to let go of 3 days sleeping on the couch and watching reruns, eating homemade food and walking the dog. Hard to let go!

Bah!

So there are 2 papers due in the next few weeks, I haven't started writing either. I don't know why, but I have lost all motivation. Maybe it's because this is the end of the semester and it's important for me to get to work. For some reason I would just rather watch Goldie Hawn movies. Again, no idea why. :o) (Or I know exactly why. Because Goldie Hawn is excellent, and papers are not.)

But, since I made the 2 hour drive up to Home2 tonight, I should sleep. I have a very exciting meeting to attend in 8 hours, and I definately need to be ... awake. Or at least awake enough to drive there.

(Again, Bah.)

Its never over!

I got a B on my first paper. This is better than I expected, but lower than I'd like, so I'm going to revise and resubmit for an A. First, I need to write my final papers for both classes, and take a final, but after that I'll be resubmitting the genre paper.

The next paper I'm writing is based on a perceived social movement. I'm going to have to do a bit more digging, but I think that political candidates having myspace pages constitutes a social movement, something growing out of the Rock the Vote campaign. Freaking myspace. That shit pisses me off more than anything. Why advertise a political candidate before the primaries to children who are not even old enough to be voting?? Gotta be a reason. Gotta be a point. Gotta be a movement bubbling under there.

This week is my last week of school before a 2 week break! Week 1 is NCA, and I will not be going, so I'll be going home! I'm going to hang out at my parents' house for a few days, update my computer, take the new car to Capitol and get her a check up, spend the usual workday at Dave and Busters playing skee-ball. :) Oh how I love a week off. Then the week off for Thanksgiving. But neither is a real week off: papers are due in 5 weeks!! Time off is never really time off. Illusion.

I'm tired, I have 30$, and I have had the same headache for 3 weeks, but I am so happy. I don't think I've ever been so happy and proud of what I'm doing. I know I whine a lot, but I love it!

(And now back to work.)
