- Life now is busy. I started summer classes last week which has been like a job. I have 2 online classes and one class for 4 hours a night twice a week. Luckily, 2 of them are only 5 weeks long but they are brutal. Online classes pride themselves on having you do 10x more work than you would in-class. But, hakunah matata. It will be over soon.
- Our puppy is staying with my parents this week which makes Drew and I both pathetically sad. It is so quiet around the house and there's no one there to greet us when we return home. Sad sad.
- We are trying to make better choices food-wise ever since my run in with one piece bathing suits a couple of weeks ago. Nothing can humble a woman faster. Well maybe it can. The scales at the gyno. I've gained 20 pounds since this time 2 years ago when we got married.
- Although I love summer in Blacksburg it also comes with goodbyes. Next week four of our dear friends will be moving on from this college town. One to the army and his wife to Virginia Beach. And the other couple is heading to Ohio State for him to finish his PhD. We are so lucky to come in contact with so many awesome people here but goodbyes are hard. And they come every year. Next year will be even worse.
- Speaking of which we are beginning discussions about whether or not to move on from here. Most of the friends we have here will all be gone next year and I'm asking myself why we would stay....We will see...
Does this sound a bit depressing? That's because it is. I've been reading about white privilege for my multiculturalism class and man it is rough. That class is forcing me to be all kinds of aware. And I pride myself on being self-aware but I'm learning about biases I didn't even know existed much less that I held them. But I love the class. I mean I'm kind of in love with it. Plus it sets up some good debates and you know I love that.
That's the haps with us lately. Maybe next time I won't be such a Debbie Downer. wah wah.
