Reading like a fiend

  So the past two weeks have been insane, but I made it! My last semester at Lee as an undergrad has been kicking my butt, but finally I am free to be able to relax for a while. I discovered over the course of these past two weeks that being newly married and trying to get a lot of schoolwork done just doesn't work out so great. I was at my most lazy state and I simply didn't care. I just wanted to play Frontierville on Facebook. Now that is just sad. Luckily that phase is over now. I can safely say that I'm better at balancing husband and school, and now with all this free time I can clean our apartment! My husband thanks me for this.

  Today I gave my presentation on Henry Fielding's Tom Jones. That book was humbling. I had to read it with a dictionary in one hand, the words were that archaic. Anyways, I really loved presenting on that this morning. I got to dress up in my 'teacher' clothes. And now I am completely finished with that class until final exam day when I turn in the rest of the paper I presented today. The feeling of absolute freedom I am experiencing right now is unexplainable. I took a four hour nap today just because I could. I could get used to that.

  So a very large fat orange tabby has decided to make our apartment complex grounds it's new home. Kaleb and I discovered him/her yesterday afternoon. It just reminded me that we couldn't have pets and that was depressing. But we are keeping our eyes out for this cat so that we can water and feed him/her. I've just had the thought that I should really like to buy fish for our apartment. So Kaleb and I can experience a sort of parental responsibility of having something depend on us for its survival. Call it a practice baby. Several of my friends are having babies relatively soon. I swear that it is actually deterring me from wanting one rather than giving me baby fever. Plus we have the best birth control around...we live in an apartment complex where kids are as plentiful as roaches. And loud. We have a tiny baby herd of elephants living above us. Oh sad, my "V" key on my keyboard is sticking something awful and it makes typing rather annoying. Now I am trying to stay away from "v" words just to avoid hitting that letter. So Kaleb and I celebrated our one month anniversary yesterday. I can't believe that it has already been a month. Insane.
