on mothers and summer and other great things
It is Mother's Day and my dear mother is... somewhere else at the moment. My mother took her mother to a baseball game on this holiday and they are still there. I am home alone after work. I can't wait to see her, though, and give her a big hug. My mama is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world and she deserves more wonderful things than I can afford to give her. I did give her an awesome cookbook, though. I hope all the awesome mom's out there know how awesome they are. Perhaps one day I will be a mother, and if I am, I will do my best to be as great as my own.
I am done with the semester, by the way. My last day was last Wednesday, took a cataloging final that I do not know how I did on yet. I got a 90 on my Universal Usability final paper, though, which is an A. It is still hard for me to get used to 90 being an A since I went to a high school where, at the time, you had to get a 94 for it to be an A. Pardon the language, but that's just bullplop. Add that grade to the 93 I got on the midterm paper, and things look good for that class. I really would be thrilled to get another pair of aces and maintain my 4.0 GPA.
I feel kind of lazy only doing school part time, but my school is a 90 minute metro ride away... Still, I am going to try to finish in 1.5 more years instead of 2 by taking more classes in semesters to come. My life is very pleasant right now but I am getting impatient for autonomy and true adulthood. I am going to try and volunteer at a library this summer to gain some experience in the field. I also think I might take a Zumba class to tone up. And I want to do as much pleasure reading as I can. I am on the second book in the Mercy Thompson series. They are really good, similar to the Sookie Stackhouse series thematically (they are both urban fantasy with first-person female narration), but better written and with a cooler heroine. Mercy is just so awesome!
Of course, I also hope to spend some quality time with my honey this summer. It is funny how much better the relationship is the second time around. I guess our time apart taught us both how to treat each other better and what mistakes to avoid. I am giddy in a way that bores my friends so I know it must be love. I even resumed activity on Facebook because I am no longer ashamed of the life I am living. I hope me and Edward get to go to the beach this summer. He says he is determined to make it happen, so I am optimistic. I actually bought a bathing suit for the first time in years.
Finally, I've decided to justify my addiction to buying manga as supporting an industry that needs support. Tokyopop is dead and the others could go the same way if I don't do my part.
Also, I am tipsy on rum and coke and WAHAHAHA! Glee is going to have a performance of the infamous "Friday" before season's end! Wicked!
