I HATE..

Michael Jackson. I hate that my husband is obsessed with him and that his stupid movie is such a huge priority to people. It's ridiculous. Sure, he made good tunes, and he's a great entertainer, but is he really worth all this hype and craziness? I say no. I'm frustrated, annoyed, and wishing he'd float away into obscurity. I hate Michael Jackson.

What's new??

Okay so the last post didn't really count... so here's my update. I started school the end of August, originally I had 4 classes (Intro to Jazz, Psychology 1010, Japanese 1010, and American Civilizations). I dropped Jazz before school even started (WAY too labor intensive, I had no time), and Psychology two weeks into the semester. I ♥ my Japanese and History classes though. They are both so much fun, and I've learned so much. It's been a crazy, hectic few months, and I've had little to no spare time to get much done but somehow I've made it through.
I also helped direct and stage managed a murder mystery play this month. We did rehearsals throughout August and September and the show started at the beginning of October. It was SO busy, but awesome and I met so many fun amazing people that I didn't know that well (or at all) from before. I had very few breakdowns (which is quite a feat) and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Chris is liking his classes and they like him back! His teachers love him (really who would have thought differently though?) and he's just trying to get everything done so he can graduate next May (hurray!). I can't wait until he's done with school, everybody say a prayer he'll be able to find a good job and quickly so that I can start focusing on my schooling more than I am now. I'm still plugging away at National Fitness (going on 4 years, yikes!) and Chris is doing work study at the Weber State gym, which has proven to work very well for him.
So in case anyone didn't know, over the summer I turned 24 and Christ turned 27. These momentous occasions occurred at the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland (I'll post pictures soon I promise) and we got to spend a fun week there just playing and having a blast. I, of course, got the flu the last couple of days and so Chris had to spend most of his birthday playing by himself, but he still had fun! :)
Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, and I'm so excited. It'll be the first Christmas since we got married that I'll get to spend Christmas Eve at home! It'll be fun to do that, I love Christmas so much and I love spending time with my family. We're spending Thanksgiving with the Kirkham's which will be fun, and I'll have the day AFTER Thanksgiving off, for the first time since I started at National Fitness! Truly! I've never been able to have it off before! I'm so glad, 4 day weekends rock!
Anyway... my work day is about to start so I better get clocked in and earn my living. I hope everyone has an AWESOME Tuesday!

New Ventures?

So I have this grand idea that I'm going to travel to Japan for 3 weeks to study Japanese. Not through Weber, just on my own. Not only will I get my Japanese-home-sickness out of the way, but I'll have the chance to learn Japanese while actually living amongst the people which will help me pick up and retain the knowledge much better. Now this sounds pretty dang exciting right? I think so! Wanna hear the one catch to this excellent plan? I'll give you a hint... it's the root of all evil. Yeah. $$. I have none. Well none that I can spare to use on this amazingly awesome and fantastic trip. Ok so I'm going to have to crack down and save like crazy to make this dream become a reality. Wish me luck!
