All Done!!!
Thu Mar 09 2006

I'm done. Done, I tell you, DONE! Well, at least until March 20th that is.

Both of my tests have been completed and turned in. I'm signed up for next term with my books purchased, and I'm DONE!!!! I've got 11 days to not worry about homework, studying, or anything else but me! The first order of business will be to get caught up on laundry, get my house cleaned, and after that I hope to have some time to read a few comic books before Hubby and I leave for a couple days of vacation.

I talked him into the beach rather than Disneyland.

We will be heading out on Tuesday and come home on Friday, celebrating my birthday and our anniversary at the same time. It is a few hours drive away, not too far but far enough to be able to relax for a bit. We have an ocean view King room reserved, and we both already have designs on the spa for a massage. Mom & Dad are coming up to stay with the kids while we are gone, the kids are excited about that, but also dreading it. My folks tend to be more strict with some things, and less strict about others. It is the more strict things that #1 is dreading, and the less strict that #2 and #3 are looking forward to.

Speaking of my birthday and getting older...

I've been having a recurring dream for the past 3 or 4 nights. I dream that I’m the age I was in high school, and have the typical schedule of 6 classes. For whatever reason, I’ve been away from school for a day or two (sick or a weekend, I’m not sure) and when I come back I can’t remember my schedule. I know I have all my classes with a friend of mine named Becky (yes, an actual friend from school and drum corps), and when I go to find her she suddenly turns into my aunt Pecky (again, an actual aunt I haven’t seen since 1981 when I was in high school) and my schedule is just the two night college classes I’m taking and I’m suddenly the age I am now. I’m thinking that getting older may be more on my mind than I realize. That and stressing over the tests I’ve had on my mind during this time. Don’t you just love the subconscious mind?

    I've had those dreams, too. I never know what class I'm supposed to be in at what time and I keep telling everyone I've already graduated but nobody listens to me *sigh*

    Sounds like you clearly understand the source of your repeated dreams. You have been under a lot of stress, and dreams are the mind's way of helping you to stay sane.

    So, enjoy your holiday, and like wine, older is better!!!

    Shalom
