Two more weeks

Flights in the morning. Well, not really. I'm leaving tomorrow to go home from Richmond with Aneliese, though. I have a ton of nervous excitement built up. It should be incredibly fun, I can't wait for my friends to meet her and for (the portion of my family available) to see her again.

I didn't get the co-op position with Cadre5 that I was hoping for. Apparently they don't have enough work to justify a co-op in the Spring. At least, that's what I took from it. That's ok because I found out I can graduate in December, I'm a lot closer than I thought I was. Finances are a little complicated, but, when are they not? I hope to reach stability in the next two years. That's my plan at least.

I am doing a little drawing and UX work for an iPhone app a friend built. I'm hoping to have something put together by the end of the weekend, but I know the next 5 days are going to be grossly busy with friends and family and things.

I still don't know what I'm going to get my mother for christmas and have a feeling I'm going to have to settle for something smaller than I was thinking, which is ok, just, a little annoying. But I do think I know what I'm getting everyone else in my family so that is good. Just one last thing to figure out.

I have been doing a good job of managing my stress. I am unfortunately one of those people that has a hard time of hiding it though. I'm just trying to be more open about when I'm a little down and out and hoping that my openness will help me and hopefully not be too detrimental to those around me. It's not like it's all the time, but it happens.

I realize this post is incredibly disjointed but I am just having a lot of random thoughts and there is no organization in my head right now.

I think after I graduate I'll probably apply for jobs with Georgia-Pacific. I am considering asking them if I can come back in the summer but that means I won't graduate till the Spring. It would be nice to be closer to Aneliese this summer, though, also I don't mind working with the people I work with there. Although, the drive to work is pretty annoying. (haha first world problems). I just don't want to get caught up and stuck working for a company when that is not where I want to be forever. I don't want to be thirty and... so scared of getting older I'm only good at being young, so I play the numbers game to say "my life has just begun".

No point in dwelling on it just yet. No point in dwelling on anything.

I should be happy. It's a wonderful life.
