The Party/Not to Party Debate

Most days, the fact that Mr. H and I go to different schools with different schedules is not an issue. This week has been a different story. As I mentioned earlier, Mr. H graduated from UW on Saturday which has had him in party mode since he turned in his final paper on Friday. I, on the other hand, still have finals and papers due this week.

The party/not to party debate has been raging for the past five days.

Aside from the fact that I still have a serious amount of studying and writing to do, there is also the fact that Mr. H is a good five years younger than me and much less of a lightweight when it comes to partying.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good party. It's just so much easier to enjoy when I'm not stressing out about whether or not I will be able get my #$%& together and finish this quarter with adequate grades.

Obviously I lost that battle, because this is just one quarter for me and its Graduation for him. The last, and coolest, party we attended this weekend was on Sunday night and it was thrown by one of the students in Mr. H's Persian program.

Those students in the Persian Studies program know how to throw a party.





I've been busy this week.

I have one final final and I'm done for the quarter. Then I can breath, sleep, party...

Shopping for school supplies just isn't what it used to be.

Registered for classes

I took my floating holiday from work to go take the placement testing and register for classes. I aced the writing and tanked on the math - no surprise there. I'll just study up on the math and retake the test next quarter.

I'm good to go on the classes. Ended up with literature, american history, and communications. now I just need to come up with the money to pay for tuition, books, rent.

I have a great deal of confidence that the money is just going to fall out of the the sky and land in my lap when the due dates roll around.

no, really, i do.

Life Changes

I have recently decided to quit my job and go back to school full time.

I can't begin to tell you the relief that comes with that decision. The sensation of relief far out-weighs my terror over how we are going to get our bills paid, and each day I am more convinced that I have made the right decision.

This is going to be an interesting couple of years with both of us as full time students and little hope of any kind of financial aid. We'll see what happens.

Proud wife, with a chocolate problem

My husband received a letter from UW today stating that he's been accepted as a transfer student into the Near Eastern Studies program (I should specify that I mean the University of Washington rather than the University of Wisconsin / Waterloo / Wurzburg / Wyoming / Wales / Warwick / Westminster / Wollongong) I'm so proud of him I could just pop. I think we should celebrate with chocolate.

Hmmmm..., we have a chocolate problem (specifically a lack thereof)
I told him this...

Me: I need chocolate
Him: (something completely unrelated to chocolate so I wasn't listening)
Me: that's nice, but what are we going to do about our chocolate problem?
Him: What do you mean we? I don't have a chocolate problem
Me: What's mine is yours and I have a chocolate problem
Him: (laughs and returns to playing Grand Theft Auto - Why did I ever buy him that game?)

How is it possible that we have no chocolate in the house?

Zip

Zilch

None

*pout*

I'm off to go find chocolate.

On the Water

we spent the day on a research vessel today - mostly taking readings of water properties and collecting water samples. Raising and lowering the line with one piece of equipment or another all day - but it was fun. For the most part it was gray and spitting rain, but on the way back home there were a few sun breaks. We saw a bunch of sea lions just hanging out in the water together - too cute. And I got some pics of the ballard locks as we were going through.

Textbooks

School starts tomorrow, so we're in the final phases of getting ready for that. We've been stressing quite a bit about the books, as we had about $200 total between us, and all of our books totalled over $450 at the school - and that included used where they were available. We spent a lot of time agonizing over which books to buy and which books to try to get through the semester without... But really, we need the books.

We went home without buying any of the books, and I hit the web, researching all the used books and used textbooks sites. I managed to find everything on Amazon.com for less than $200 - including shipping charges. They probably wont get here till late next week, but for that kind of savings, I think we can wait a week.
