for the love of shakespeare...

to say i've been busy this week would be a gross understatement. More like a completely disgusting understatement. There's a lot going on around here. Stuff that involves scheduling fall quarter classes and figuring out how to maintain my mommy status while taking said classes. But you're all sick of reading about me going to college. I know. Matt is enjoying being able to tell his buddies he's sleeping with a college chic again. So that's at least a funny little college anecdote.
Anyways...college...classes...blah...blah...blah... Amy's busy again. Been there, heard that, but it is Fun Friday, so in keeping with my Education concentration of choice (English Lit) here is my Fun Friday nod to Shakespeare (who is I'm SURE rolling in his grave right now) But it's funny damn it! Admit it!!

where did my june go???

how old and crotchety do I sound when i say time is going by too fast?
I fail to believe June has come and gone already. Because when I was a youngun' July meant my summer vacation from school was 1/2 over. The 4th of July has always been on my list of favorite holidays, but once it was over all I could do was look with dread upon the impending doom of the start of school. But I don't have to do that now that I'm all growed up. Oh but wait, I do. Because I've lost my rocks and decided that since I have approximately 7.6 extra seconds every day, I should head back to the collegiate game. At least I've chosen a school that doesn't go back until mid-September so that gives a couple of extra weeks of summer. Right?? Right?!?!?
The difference is, that for some bizarre reason I am looking forward to it. I think kicking my brain back into gear and working again, has made me see how much I have missed using adult brain cells. Don't get me wrong, I have loved being a mama bear and raising my chiclets. I'm grateful for it. However, even though I'm just getting started, I can see a dim light at the end of the tunnel. When Ryan goes to school all day in 1st grade, we can have 2 incomes. We haven't had that in YEARS. It will be so cool!!
I keep waiting for someone to find out I'm going back and look at me like I've lost my mind, but so far only one person has done that, and I don't value her opinion much. Everyone else has been uber-supportive and been excited for me. That makes me think maybe, just maybe, I can do it.
