still seems unreal

so by now I'm sure the word has spread...but Twylla and Aaron aren't getting married now. I still can't believe it. I still haven't talked to her either, because yesterday was a long day for me, and then she had a lot to deal with too. It would really suck to find out that the person you thought you'd spend your life with decides they don't want to now. The worst is that he actually admitted he thought about just leaving her at the alter. That's low. I wish I could be there for her. It's hard for me to believe it because i'm so far removed from it. So now I'm trying to decide if I should change my flight for thanksgiving now, or what. It's going to cost me a pretty penny to change my flight though, but I'd so much rather go home for a week then for 2 days.
I got my midterm back yesterday in the midst of all of this...I got an 84%. It's a B, i'm ok with it. Today will be busy because students can come by the office to get their PINs to register, and there's probably 500 or so that have to stop by, so I'm going in early to relieve Dr. Frenzel. At least tomorrow I'm getting out of town.

oh yeah...

my friend Kathy is doing her thesis defense tomorrow, I'm so happy for her. It's such a relief to have it almost be over. And my friend Kim is having surgery on Friday to remove a baseball sized cyst in her ovary. All this time she's had cramps they told her it was diverticulitis (I know I probably spelled it wrong Sarah). Wish I could be there to support them both.

gold star

Today was a long day...made even longer when you take a call at 3:30am (the things I do for friends). Anywho...turned in my paper, yay. Had a meeting with the committees who grade the qualifier exams, and they fed us pizza and brownies. I had pepsi though...and I swear my stomach feels like acid now...anyway...I was the only one to ask a question, which made Dr. Merlo, my policy teacher next semester, just totally thrilled. She thanked me half a dozen times for being brave and asking a question. Too funny...she told me if they had gold stars, I'd get one. Always great to be teachers pet...I was starting to have withdrawals.
I'm exhausted...I'm going to bed EARLY.

the latest

well I'm feeling better than I have in awhile. I think stress of the midterm really took it's toll. Of course...I get my grade Thursday...so we'll see.
I had soooo much fun with Jen and Andrew Saturday. It was sooooo nice getting out of Indiana. We spent all day shopping, it was great. I got 2 clocks for my place and a red carpet runner for my bedroom. We went to Ikea, Costco, Target, a halloween shop, petco, toys r us and had lunch at Cracker Barrel. So glad Jen drove, because Pittsburgh is crazy...just as bad as LA, except you're driving on bridges. Pittsburgh is pretty, kinda, during the day. At least looking out on the rivers.
When I got home I had to spend 3 hours on the statistics homework. I just got our assignment that's due Sunday...and I don't get it at all. Not good.
Today was a good day. I went to school to do the advising meeting and got some homework done. Then I went and finally got my PA drivers lisence. Decided to go buy a pair of jeans at old navy, and bought 3 shirts, and a pair of halloween pajama bottoms as well as my jeans. Then I went and bought shoes for the wedding, and ended up buying boots for the winter too. Then I went to Kmart and found the winter jacket everyone's been telling me to get (has a zip out fleece liner) on sale....cost me $39! I'm so happy. So now I'm almost set for winter. The lady at the shoe store was really helpful with the shoes, and told me to get gloves with this special liner. At Kmart they were $20 so I'm going to check walmart.
Went to starbucks to do some reading, and on the walk back, Jen and Andrew drove by. They thought I was stranded. So we ended up doing our chicken exchange, because at Costco they bought breasts, and I bought the strips, but ended up with the wrong ones when we unloaded. It was pretty funny.
Enchiladas for dinner. They are in the oven just waiting for me to turn them on. My enchilidas don't even come close to the ones you can get at home, but they are way better than Cozumels.
So I'm off to shower, have dinner, and then write my article review. If I get on it, I might be able to finish watching teenage mutant ninja turtles (I was too tired to watch the whole movie last night).
Tomorrow is a long day too. Advising center, with another meeting in the morning, class tomorrow (crap I have to put the final touches on my paper that's due tomorrow!) and then a meeting about our qualifier tests we take in August, at 5pm. And Thursday is a long day too. Ah well...keeps me off the streets.
