Wow, can't believe it's been so long

I didn't realize how long it had been since I did any journaling. Well where do I start? Let's talk School since that's what I am most excited about. I love going to school, I even enjoy the stress of deadlines. I started out wanting to be an art therapist - then I was turned onto Anthropology and I found that a cultural anthropologist is exactly what I always dreamed of my 2nd life as: Traveling the world, getting to know different peoples, different cultures, learning a new way of seeing things, finding out what the rest of the world believes in and how it affects their daily lives. That is what an anthropologist does. At first I was a little scared, can I really be smart enough to be a scientist like that. Could I actually follow through with it? I hope so. My College Success Counseling class made me do this lifeline report and now I read it often like a road map. I use it to make decisions about everything. I choose things that line up with my ultimate goal of getting a Phd in anthropology. The more I learn about different cultures and the history of human kind the less and less I believe in the crap of christianity and catholoscism.

So anyhow in the summer semester i took 9 units and I got an A in Anthropology, a B in my counseling class that she agreed to change to an A and forgive my four absences and I still havent gotten my Art grade yet but I feel that i earned an A in the class. So that would give me a 4.0 gpa. In the fall I am taking 16 units and I am running for Senator so that is another 3 units that will be a 19 unit semester. It will be overwhelming and consuming.

my kids are sick of me talking about how excited I am about school. I wish they weren't, I wish they could be happy for me that I am trying to better my life. I guess they see it as taking away time and money I have to spend on them, I am not sure but it seems that way. I have to get up in a few hours since we are having a party for Jessica tomorrow for her going away. She earned a 4 year scholarship to Sryacuse University, She leaves in 10 days :( I am going to miss her soooooo much but we have really allready pulled away from eachother. We don't spend much time together and when we do talk I always start crying, she does too sometimes. She has packed up most of her room to put in storage. It's sad and exciting at the same time. I know she is going to have a blast and she will do well I am sure of that. She will do whatever it takes to not be like me, if that is her motivation, so be it, it's working for her and she has accomplished so very much more than I ever have.

Fall semester starts a week from Monday - I am looking forward to it and Marcelo comes home the weekend before on the 20th - Woo Hoo, good things are happening.

Well I think I should go to bed now since I have a big day planned tomorrow.
