Things have been going up and down recently. I took the GRE again and I've been working on my statement of intent for grad school. I was doing some research and I don't think I'll be able to apply for gad school for this upcoming fall. I think I'm going to go back to my original plan which was to apply for the fall of 2013 and keep taking classes. The question is should I keep my job or should I look for a new one in the meantime? I am planning on talking to my boss about switching up some things with my job because I feel like my skills and intelligence are deteriorating with the way things that are going right now. Please send happy thoughts and prayers my way that I can get up the courage to deal with these things.
Now, what has been going on with the personal life? I went home to visit my family for Christmas. This Christmas was much less stressful than the last one (where one of my brothers caused problems, my grandfather separated from his wife, and my dad got shot at). This break was spent playing with my (other) brother's fiance's son. He was absolutely precious! I could just eat him up. I took a a ton of photos of him and recorded some videos. He's six months old and full of smiles. I got to visit with a few friends and with my godparents, which was great! I met a friend's baby who is also full of smiles. This experience did not make me feel like I should have kids yet. I'm still too worried that I would have a whiny, uncooperative child.
So, are you about to burst, wanting to know about dude? No? Well, I'm going to talk about him anyway. We are still together, and now we're both serious about this thing. Don't worry, we haven't gone off the deep end yet. We both know that we're still too early in the relationship to say for certain that this is it, but we're at the point now where we can't say "it would never happen." He makes me laugh. He holds me when I cry (which, luckily isn't very often). He challenges me intellectually. He makes a nice heater now that it's cold out. j/k. He really does make a nice heater, but that's just a perk. ;) We've had a couple of small conflicts that we've had to deal with, but we've resolved them very quickly. I know that the first big one usually comes around the 6 month time period. We're about 2/3 of the way there. We'll see how that goes!
How's the happiness thing going? Well, I'm happier than I've been in quite a while. The jury is still out on why, but right now I'm just going with it! :)
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012!
