August was spent playing paparazzi, suffocating my cousin in kisses,
playing legos and trying to be taught star wars by a 4 year old; all while
living between two different states.
September was simply survival mode. Ughh my hardest semester yet, seriously
grad school kicked my bootie this semester! I could NOT believe how hard it was
so soon into the semester. Yes harder than quantum physics and organic
chemistry. Not to mention How is it that I was able to handle 21 credits with
relative ease but I struggled to keep my head above water this semester with my
12 credits. I’m sure who/what I am more annoyed with myself or my dumb program
making me take two courses that have minimal connections to my major. It was
hard. What was worse is that in grad school, you kind of are expected to have a
background in the subject, even if its
not your major!?! So, the whole learning process is supposed to occur prior to
taking the course…. yes, counter intuitive.
October was not much better, waking up to a lovely hit and run, but being
“rescued” by my awesome cousin who got my fixed my car while I got to play
spend time with the baby and little man. Halloween brought some fun, when I got
to yell at a bunch of pesky too old to be trick-or-treating trick-or-treaters
who took not only to all of the candy I had on my porch but took the bowl too. (I
leave a bowl out because I can’t be constantly interrupted while doing school
work)
November ended with a bang and no not a good bang. (here’s a little back
story) My parents were traveling for pretty much all of fall, and while away my
dad had some trouble breathing, but didn’t think much of it. My mom pushed him
to make an appointment with his doctor, through out November my dad had a few
tests done to rule out any major issues. Every test came up clear, and he went
about his daily life. His doctor recommended simply for precautionary reasons to
do a heart catheterization. So, as I left to go back home from the Thanksgiving
holiday, I kissed my dad goodbye and wished him good luck and teased him about
getting his death sentence the next day. (The cardiac catheterization was that Monday)……
Stay tuned!
