Pah! Finished!

Day 30: Your highs and lows of the month.

I'm not totally sure if the last 30 days have taken a year and half to complete for anybody else, but I can't believe it's only just now ending. I can't believe the day before I started this I was saying good-bye to the Marine with no idea when I would see him again. I feel like I haven't seen him in months already and it's only been one month... Goodness gracious. I may not make it! I am also in shock I haven't been back to school for a month yet. This is only the beginning of week four. That has to be a lie.

I'm glad I thought to start this at the beginning of the month/year so that I really only have to think about the month of January. I would probably get confused if I had started it in the middle of the month.

My highs and lows of January aren't really all that drastic. It was a fairly typical month in my life. There was no Marine around (low) and I'm back to school (high).

I could have done with some time with the Marine but since he was home for two weeks in December and didn't have a real schedule for January it didn't make a whole lot of sense to go visit. Actually, it really made no sense. Plus, I can't drive to see him now. Boo.

I debated on if starting school was a high or a low. While I love my major. I love the kids. I love everything about it. I do not love the 19 hours I am enrolled in right now. It makes my life so very busy. On top of that, I'm working 12 hours a week in the after/evenings. Which 12 hours doesn't really sound too bad but when it's all in two days on top of 19 hours of school, it's a busy week. If we add on to that the five hours a week I spend in practicum and the four hours a week in field observation, you could say my schedule is pretty full.

It's definitely a high though. No matter how busy I may be, it is so much better than sitting around at home wishing the Marine could be there. I get bored and tired and grumpy very quickly when I'm not busy. Although I may get grumpy this semester and I will be anything but bored. There are also wonderful people here who take up any extra time I may have. I'm very excited to be bonding and rebonding with friends. Makes everything more worthwhile.

That's the high and low of my month really. I promise now that I have my blog back to myself I will update you on the happenings of little ol' me! And hopefully, they will be more interesting than this 30 day challenge turned out to be :)
