Countdown

It's good to be home, it does not feel like a "Christmas" break to me...

Jax and I left the cold and stayed in Washington, DC for a night at girlfriend Niki's, it's always good to see my girls. The next day we went to the Arlington Cemetry together. It was not too cold so we went for a long walk and visited Gregroy Anthony Wright. While I don't have a camera I brought a one time use camera and took some pictures. At first I felt stunned to see how many died in Iraq so recently since Greg (Jan 13, 2007). There was a little rock on his gravestone, someone wrote "Hero" in gold. While I started to think back about Greg, feeling sad, but it was not for long. Jax ran around, hid behind his gravestone and played peekaboo, and I took pictures. It was beautiful and sad. It didn't felt like I was there for a closure or to say goodbye.

We got home with no problem and I really SLEPT. I was more tired than I thought but Jax got better right away (no more runny nose or coughing), he was happy about small things. He been spending time with Papa Dave, doing the manly stuff. I kept on catching up with my sleep and still felt tired but I was happy to be home. The Christmas Eve party at my Aunty was good, everyone were comfortable and happy.

On Christmas morning, again, Jax enjoyed the small and simple things. I felt lucky because of that I could not play Santa this year. We went to Dave's parents house for dinner they live in Gastonia, NC. And then Jax and I went down to Summerville and visited the Dugas family. For me, it's always tough visiting them. Whatever I do is not enough for them, "Are you working again yet?" "When you done with school?" "Is Jax's father helping you?" "You looked too thin" and "Are you dating again?"

Anyways it's over with. Right now I'm happy the weekend is here. My mom is throwing a house party tomorrow and I have some old friends coming to visit. Sunday, I will go to Atlanta and see my girl Elizabeth. I'm excited! She was my roommate in Natck, it took us awhile to be close friends but one Christmas Break she flew down to Atlanta so that we could celebrate New Year's with Cousin Jen when she lived down there before. About 6 months later, Eli decided to move there and she been happy since. Well Jax will be with my family while I'm gone for 2 nights, I'm excited!!

I gotta mention what I got for my birthday from Lucas' Mom, Margo (said it's from Jax). It's WHITE jacket from BEBE and it's got rabbit's FUR trims. OMG!!! I was shocked when I saw it and Margo was like, Yay love it!! I tried it on, OMG. Just OMG. I feel guilty as a brokeass momma wearing the jacket. Fur? Maybe some PETA members will throw some paints at me. My girl Niki refused touch it. Guilty! Damn! But I worn it tryin to get feel of it...

I just checked my grades online (very patient with Mom's computer), I made a B in my America Literature class!!! I already got a list of what to read for the semester I ain't started reading..

I can't believe how the heroine Bhutto died like that yesterday... Everything's gonna change..

New England Patriot's is playin' tmw night and we are gonna kick ass!!

Ok just rumbling here. Happy Near Ending 2007!

Never Enough Time

Wow yeah I'm racing against the clock. I am trying to finish everything for the semester TONIGHT! No I (incomplete) grade, an extension for me to finish the course but it became harder when I pull it off. I've been kickin' ass in school than ever but it's never enough. In fact I done one paper last night it was due Oct. 31

Last week Thursday as I was done with the only in-class final exam (3 another classes was take home exam...papers!), I felt relieved and passed it on to the Professor. He then asked me, "What was wrong?" that I didn't turn in the paper due before Thanksgiving. Instead of "Why you didn't do it" it's like he already knew I sucked with time management and been doing my best. Hella yea! I made an A on midterm exam and an A on first paper of the semester. I had to laugh! I said to him "I'm working on it." He thanked me for having his class, "it was really a great pleasure having you."

Another professor I was apologizing to her that I didn't do my best in her class, I mean it's a social work class! I told her how I felt like I spent a lot of energy on American Literature class, I felt wasted for not doing my fullest in her class. She was like, "No way! You in game, you always bring your laptop to class and type away everything. You participated in class and brought up many great points and thoughts. You clearly showed you done your best." Mmm, ok! Big smile!

What I learned about this semester? It's never enough time, if I do my 100% but most importantly is that I feel like I done my best, that way I won't have any regrets "I should've done more but I couldn't." No matter what the professors thought of me, they've SEEN what I done. Anyways.. again.. I'm kickin' ass :) I think that's my motto for now...

Alright tonight I'm gonna finish up couple of papers and hopefully I'd turn them in tomorrow despite the fact Jax is sick with colds and coughing and I'm feeling shitty with sinus. It's supposed to snow again Thursday so it's looking like we are goin to hit roadtrip home on Friday.

I'll keep up with my blog over the Holiday ;) My mom have camera.. Free time.. Wanting to remember everything... So I'll be here!

Here's one of tonight of us being happy to cuddle together after 4 days separated (him gone to Vovo's while I cram). Happy Holiday! Happy Loving! Happy Eating! Happy Sleeping...!
