3:05 pm - thankful.
|
it's been many many months since i posted here, and i felt like today - the eve of thanksgiving - would be a good time to sit down and attempt to reconnect. i have been thinking today about all the good things in my life, and even some of the bad things in my life, for which i am thankful.
this year i am thankful for
1. the health of my family and myself
2. my 1992 Isuzu Rodeo which refuses to die, even with nearly 200K miles. it starts every morning and that is all i need.
3. my wonderful partner who puts up with a lot of stuff for me.
4. having a partner that i care enough about to put up with a lot of stuff.
5. the fact that i am student teaching in january.
6. my job.
7. my new red trench coat that i splurged on two weeks ago.
8. i am going home for christmas.
9. health insurance.
10. my friends old and new. some i have lost tough with - they are always in my heart.
11. seeing bruce last thursday night and once again feeling the power of music.
12. my parents, who are always there, even at 5am.
13. the fact that the landlord turned the heat on early this year.
14. egg nog.
15. the new vanessa carlton album.
16. never knowing where the road is going to take me.
17. stilettos.
18. refund checks from school.
....to be continued....

Just barely though. Packing up and moving in a week and a half. Things are hectic to say the least. I got together with my old group of high school girlfriends last night and now I am feel a little down and out. I miss having girlfriends like that. And even though there will soon be 750 miles between me and the people I love the most ... Im going to make a distinct effort to be a better friend to these girls. I've missed them and I've missed me and I've missed things like last night.

It is is 6am. Dave has a 6:45am flight out of LGA because his 9:40pm flight was cancelled last night. Delta sent him back to Long Island in a cab. Cab was supposed to pick him up at 4:45 this morning. Bastard didn't show up til 5:30.
So now he is calling me, they are just a few minutes from the airport. He has tightness and numbness in his arms and hands and the cab driver is going 90.
Even if he misses this flight, there are several flights throughout the day. But after this whole week and what he dealt with last night ....
Im shaking crying.

FOUR days, bitches. FOUR days. Ive got freaking Pomp and Circumstance flying through my head and only a half-page of a paper stands between me and the end of my undergraduate career.
Like, whoa.
In other news, I found out this week that I have been accepted to LIU-Brentwood. That was just the news I needed to get me through finals week.

4:51 pm - kalamazoo and stuff.
|
Im in Michigan. And it's cold. But my wireless is working for once, so woot for that.
Going home tomorrow and then I have to bust ass to get all my shit done. Though I did write three pages of my Christianity paper and two pages of my Greek paper. So Im feeling rather pleased with myself for actually doing homework. There is a desk in our room, and I think that is what inspired me to do homeowrk.
Note to self: Buy nice desk before grad school.
Two weeks from tomorrow is graduation. Un-fucking-believable.
Going at for dinner around six and I really need a shower. The new Bruce album really pleases me. I keep listening to We Shall Overcome and getting chills. It's so fitting.
PattyPace is beside me doing Patty type things. Im looking at her computer and it does not appear as though she is actually doing homework. It rather appears as though she is reading about Tool. *HI PATTY!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Good bye my loves.

Well, my dear friends, I have signed up for what is quite possibly the most difficult, most rewarding, and most life changing experience that Ive had in quite sometime. A group of women from my Bruce site did the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk last fall in Philadelphia. I so desperately wanted to do it with them, but circumstances just wouldnt allow it.
This year, however, Im in. I just signed up two days ago, and while the task is daunting, it is nothing I cannot handle. I have until October 6 to prepare myself. Sixty miles. Three days. Countless laughs and memories. But most importantly, each step I take will be benefiting those who suffer from breast cancer, helping promote breast cancer research, honoring the women whose lives have been cut short by this terrible illness, celebrating those who have beaten the odds.
It's going to take a lot of hard work, trust me, I understand that. But the accomplishment and the cause far outweigh any blisters I may get or bad days I might have. The only thing that stands in my way is the $2200 I must raise in order to participate in the walk.
If you can, please visit my personal page:
http://www.the3day.org/Philadelphia06/bethleanne
And please consider donating. I know most of us are poor college students, but five dollars, ten dollars, whatever you can give .... your donation will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. If you cannot donate, I also accept kind thoughts, good vibes, prayers, etc. ;)
current mood:  excited
current music: bruce, seeger sessions

11:01 am - 25 days...
|
So the girls at work have started the official countdown to my graduation. Twenty-five days. Eleven more class days, plus finals. Im having a hard time getting excited, mostly cause I have 856 things to do in these next 25 days.
In other news, I think I have found my calling. My perfect graduate school program. Today, I applied to this program: http://www.liunet.edu/cwis/brent/graduate/childhood_lit.html It is in Long Island, of course. All the courses are nights and weekends, which would allow me to get a job and work at least part time. I dont have to take the GRE. It is a small campus (1000 students), entirely commuter, usually 20 students per class. So, as the wonderful admissions counselor told me, "You get the big LIU name without the big campus." Perfect. I have always known that I want to work with young children, though not necessarily in a traditional classroom role. When I found this program online, I almost started crying because it is exactly what I have been looking for. The thought of going back to school in the fall actually excites me. I would go to school for the rest of my life if they would let me.
Also, Grippos. The best damn potato chips evah.
Also, Bruce. The new album came out yesterday. I havent bought it yet, but I did watch a video clip of his GMA thing yesterday morning. I was impressed, and now Im trying to scheme up ways of seeing one of the shows. I dont know if the MSG date would work for us, cause thats the week Im moving up to NY. Perhaps one of the Jersey dates would be good.
Also, my new icon. Made by the most wonderous dapatty

10:49 am - Yesterday don't matter if it's gone...
|
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don’t matter if it’s gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you...
Don’t question why she needs to be so free
She’ll tell you it’s the only way to be
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost
At such a cost
There’s no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain’t life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I’m gonna miss you...
.....................................
Dave and I were talking about this song last night, and I cant get it outta my head. It's really hitting me hard right now. Everything that is happening ... all the changes being made in my life and the lives of my friends and family. A year ago, I never would have imagined that I would be here, living the life I am living now. Graduation in a month and two days. I did it. I. DID. IT. Sure, I had help along the way ... but I did it. I've formed some of the most incredible relationships this year. I was open to loving and being loved by others. I have caught my dreams.
