I can not believe that this semester is already coming to an end. I have two and a half weeks of class left and then finals and then I’ll be done for about a month. I think my grades will be the best they have ever been. I decided to cut back on my hours at work because it was really interfering with my study time. In the past, I was working 35+ hours/week while taking 15 hours of classes. It was not fun. Now I am only working around 20 hours/week and taking 16 hours of classes. The workload is significantly less. My stress level is significantly less. And, my love life is significantly better! (But more about that later.)
I finally got rid of my roommate (who also happens to be my ex!). He was always so messy and I hate to live in a messy place. I like to clean and organize and one of my coworkers always tells me how obsessive I am. Obsessive? Really? Who woulda thunk it?
The roommate search has been a bit overwhelming (especially since one of them backed out of moving in!) but I think I found someone that I really like. He moved in last weekend and is so nice. At first, I thought he is Native American but then tonight when I asked him he said he is Filipino! I stood staring at him in disbelief. How could this be? Had my ricedar (kinda like gaydar, only more sensitive to all the BEAUTIFUL rices out there) failed me? Everyone who knows me knows what a rice queen I am. If Where’s Waldo? had been Where’s the Ching Chong? then I would have won every time. So, it really surprised me when he told me. I guess it is because he looks more like a tribal filipino, if such a thing exists – definitely NOT my type of asian. So it’s just him and me living in this huge apartment of mine for now until I can find someone else to move in.
With my ex roommate gone I feel a little lonely, not because he is gone but because he took Lucy (his dog) with him. She and I always had so much fun together! I really miss her a lot. At times, I want to get a small dog but then I realize how much work it would be and how little time I would have to spend with him. And then, sometimes I think I would like to have a cat. Cats are very little maintenance (kinda like me!) but I have allergies to cats so that seems like a bad idea. I’ve almost decided on getting some fish. I’ve always enjoyed watching fish swim around. It always relaxes me. But, I wonder how much work it will be cleaning the tank. Maybe after Christmas I will get some.
Speaking of Christmas, it’s almost here!!! Yay! I’ve been looking forward to the Christmas season since February. I’m especially excited this year because I have a wonderful boyfriend to spend it with. It’s been several years since I had a boyfriend during the holidays so it is going to be extra special, and not extra special simply because it’s been awhile but also because he’s extra special. I’m going to get a small Christmas tree this year (since the one from last year is my roommates and he moved) and decorate it all up. Hot apple cider, carolers, walking arm-in-arm trying to keep warm, making Christmas candies, ham, turkey, pies, mistletoe – I just love this time of year!
For anyone wanting to shower me with gifts, I will have my amazon wish list completed soon!
My podcast is almost finished. I edited it last night but there are still a couple things I can’t get exactly how I would like. I’m going to have Blowesha help me this week with it and I will probably publish it early next week. I know ya’ll are barely able to function with the anticipation of such an exciting event. If you’ve ever wanted to say you knew someone famous before they were famous then now is your chance!
