infinite ramblings...

i always start these things off with so much to post about, but by half way through them i lose the energy and/or interest in really seeing them through. with that said, i give you another half-assed post!

so let's see here. thursday i registered for classes for the spring 2006 semester at quad-c. i'll be taking 10 hours which include the following classes:
Photography II - with my wonderful prof. that i'm taking now
English 1302 - meh, i need to get back into writing, and figure this is the easiest way to do so
History 1302 - with the prof. that is freaking awesome (see: easy class)
and last but not least
Beginning Raquetball - because i need a phys.ed. class
so i'm really going to try and concentrate on school and really just look for a part time job with somewhere between 20 and 30 hours a week, but absolutely no more than 30. i just don't want to be a career student.

in other news
rob and i are going to go get our pictures taken with santa tomorrow! i figure it's a funny, thoughtful, and inexpensive gift for his and my mommy for christmas. don't get me wrong, it's not the only thing i'm getting them, but i just thought it was funny. plus, last year his mom and sister bought him this lamp that was made from the foot/ankle part of a deer...and yes, it was real! so...i think she'll at least appreciate the humor in it if nothing else. and my mom will laugh and be glad that she finally has a picture of us together.

speaking of his family, we're flying up to indiana next friday. i'm so nervous. i hate flying, and i don't like the whole having to meet his family and stuff, but at the same time i'm really excited because i've never been to indiana, and i do want to meet his family, i just don't want to go through that whole "getting to know you" process. -shrug- it'll be fine i'm sure...at least that's what he keeps telling me. we'll see. the way i look at it is, it can't be any worse than my ex's family...they were sweet, don't get me wrong, but completely insane (i know, and my family's not? yeah.), and i never really felt like i was really accepted for who i am. rob assures me that his mom and family are nothing like that, and will love me because he loves me. yay! :D

i got the rest of my supplies today for my photography final project, which is good because i've got to get my prof. to show me how to do the dry mounting matting process on monday. i've also gotta remember to take to c.d.'s to her and get my other two that she already has back from her. turns out we like a lot of the same music and bands, but she hasn't heard some newer stuff (like r.e.m., and the shins, etc...) so i've been loaning her c.d.'s to check 'em out.

oh yeah! shit, i've gotta go find a recipe or whatever for oven roasting chesnuts. we went to whole foods tonite and bought 3lbs. of chestnuts because i've been craving them, but i have no idea how to prepare them. hmm...i'm on a mission...
i'm sure there'll be more tomorrow...later!
