Just Reallly Quick...

Just a quick update because I have been slacking.

Two reasons for slacking include:

1. I started school at Grand Canyon University this week
2. I was enjoying Vlad and his presence and his laughter.

Grand Canyon University is going good.  I like it.  I think the toughest thing for me this semester will be the fact that everyone, (the teachers, students, advisers) like to make friends with you and make a community. Now to anyone else that would be fantastic and admittedly, it isn't a bad thought.  However I have been trying for a long long time to stay as unattached to Arizona as possible because for over a year now I have known that I will be leaving this state for Washington. To me, anything that creates an attachment to here is another setback.  I just don't want to regret not going, not trying, and I'm already struggling with the fact that I will be leaving my parents here...though I am trying terribly hard to get them to come with me. Love you guys.

Vlad returned today. Bah Bah Bah.  It's just a bad situation, being away from him for so long, especially this time because everything is so uncertain right now for both of us we don't know if we will be able to see each other in the summer. If we do then it will only be two weeks because if I (hopefully) get a job, then I'll be new and will only have some much time off, same for Vlad.  However right now it seems almost certain that I will be going to his place for Christmas this next year.  Exciting..and sad.  Guess I will see how I do away from my parents for holidays. =(  Anyway....my three beautiful weeks with Vlad were nothing short of wonderful and I miss him terribly already, but now it is time to buckle down on school (if my bloody books would just get here already) and time to really concentrate on my health.  I NEED to eat healthier and I would love to start running.  We'll see how that happens with my schooling (because I think I will be struggling quite a lot with school at GCU because I will actually be learning).

Love you Vlad, Mom and Dad!

Newsss

So this person right here is going to be a former Sun Devil next semester.

That's right! Goodbye ASU!!! GCU here I come!

In the interest of graduating in 2012.....well...before 2014 for that matter....I have decided to switch from ASU to GCU. I'm very excited about it but am, once again, going to be the newbie. Awesome.

With the ending of my career at ASU ends my student employment. This does bother me because I love my job and the people here are really nice. But...change must happen, and this is for the better. So, in two weeks, I will be, once again, unemployed. Awesome.

So...It's the end of the semester and this year is nothing short of disasterously hectic for me. I will try to update more. :( Sorry, I know I've reallllly been slacking.
There is a presentation for Chemistry due Wednesday that I have to begin putting together, with a test tomorrow looming ever closer. So, I bid you, Adui. (haha I know that's spelt wrong, but you get it)

Bye!!!
