Let's see what other random nonsense I can ramble about now. (Note: Please do not mind spelling errors, my keyboard at home is horrendous!)

So in approximately one year and five months I will be graduating from college. Granted if it hadnt been for that damn bout with mono I could be graduating in 5 months but I honestly dont think I am ready for that! Im already concerned with graduating when I will be 22 almost 23 because a) I dont want to get a job yet that I will be working for the rest of my life and b) I really like college. Im already dreading next fall because two of my roomies wiill have graduated, Beth will probably be back in Indiana, which will leave me with Becky...which is great dont get me wrong but its so much fun with 5 of us right now :) Its this year that I think I am enjoying college the most and having a great year. So I dont study as much as I should but you really cant go out and have fun while studying...not possible! Anyhow, thats reason #487 to go to Grad school at my beloved WMU. Is anyone else out there afraid of graduating?

Boys boys boys...I would really like a boyfriend these days, but it just isnt happening. Oh well, maybe SOON for goodness freakin' sakes! When Larry bought all of us pumpkins for Halloween (Beth's boyfriend) I told the girls that I wanted a boyfriend who would bring us a Christmas tree...not any Christmas tree, one he chopped down in the forest himself. All interested applicants, apply to me :)
Happy Halloween! I've finally come to conclude after 21 years that Halloween is quite dumb. Last night, my roomies and I did the whole college thing and went to Wayside for their Halloween party...it was fun seeing all these great college kids all dressed up, even though I swear 45%of the girls were slutty school girls. Anyhow, I was an angel for the night, had a few drinks, ran into some old friends (Kacie, I <3 you!) and then we went home quite early. So tonight I make the effort to come home and spend the evening with my nephews, since Halloween is still fun for them. It was basically pointless for me to drive home 2 hours to be with them, they could care less. When you are in college, Halloween just isn't fun-prof's dont pass out candy, nor do they give you a slacking day. *sigh*

But on the up-swing of life, things are good. I got some well needed money this week (yes, in a legal manner!), Im going out to dinner with one of my favorite people in the world tomorrow and on the Spanish Lit test I swore I failed I got a B. Not to mention 2 of the roomies and I are going to see Miss Saigon next week @ Miller for get this...$12.50 for 9th row! AND, my sea-monkeys are growing! :) I'm not a failure of a mother anyhow.

Alright what I have mumbled is basically pointless. Perhaps I will have something better to write after the best show in the world, ER.

There's a fair going on tonight for Graduate School-basically held for people who will be graduating in the next year or so and are considering going to graduate school here at Western. Yeah, that would be me but I highly doubt I will get off of my butt to go to this thing. I think it's mostly because I'm scared of the Spanish graduate advisor (rode down in the elevator with her the other day, kinda looks witchish, not to mention all the other things I have heard about her) and she will start talking 100 miles an hour in Spanish and I will freeze and probably blush and walk away. Really though, if I'm thinking about going into Grad school in Spanish I need to get my stuff in order and not be afraid to speak the freakin' language! Yesterday I went up to the Spanish department to get a copy of my Major slip and saw my current Spanish prof who I just love and all I could utter was "hola" and thank goodness she let it go at that. Then of course my last semester hated Spanish prof sees me in the hall and of course he is nosey enough to ask me what i was doing....yeah, not a good thing, but I answered him. Ugh, the trials of a Spanish major!

Tomorrow is the Halloween party at Wayside, hooray! I have my costume set to go, jut gotta get a cute shirt to go with it I suppose. Not that I am in the market to really be buying new clothes but Halloween comes but once a year and seeing since this is the first year I am legal and actually going out for Halloween might as well make it fun.

I think I'm getting old people feet-I don't know if I buy the worst shoes a person can possibly wear or what but my feet are killing me today-maybe it's because I'm so damn flatfooted, it's finally catching up with me.

Alright, it's almost time to be heading out to another day of lovely classes - Women's Studies, Spanish and Anthropology. Ooooh, I'm sure you can sense the excitement and anticipation of those next 4 hours and 50 minutes!
