Winter break is over... so now I'm back in Platteville. I've been putting in full days all week, spending too much time on mindless data entry. Now I know why I'm going college... that is NOT a job I want. Oh well... one more week of consulting full time...

... and then it's back to classes. Eck. I'm kind of excited. I'm getting to start on my psych classes, and finish up my business classes. I have a few GenEds to finish up, but I think I'll save those for later when things get tough. Either way, I'll be in Platteville for a while yet. And I'm ok with that.

And hey... they let me stay in school. I pulled a 3.4 this semester with a 2.2 cumulative. Yay for me... now I've just got to continue to work my ass off to keep it up.

Things with Aaron are good. We had a long talk last night about priorities, where we wanted to be in x number of years. It was pretty interesting. We both have really different views and thoughts on pretty much everything. But in the end, we're both looking for the same things, we're just taking different routes to get there. I have some idea now of where he's coming from, and vice versa. Communication is the key to a good relationship. Take some time to think, and then come back together and talk. The amazing things that will do... It's great. I love it.

Time to get something done. Need to clean my room, etc before I have to start class tomorrow.

Be well... stay outta trouble.

Ugh...

Finals week is here. Finally get over the sickness, and then academics attacked. On a good note though, I seem to be pulling a 3.6 this year. Woot baby... Talk about improving upon a 1.3. So I'm pretty excited about that.

Finally figured out who I'm going to be living with next year. Me and three men. Oh baby. Nah, just good friends. Damyen is living in his own apartment for now. We figured that's probably going to be better for us. Thank goodness for the little fights that take place. Made us realize that living together was just not for us, not yet. So for now, it's Nike, Mike, Andre and I. Should be interesting. Parents are not thrilled with this thought, but they're dealing. They say "You're 20 years old now, you can decide to make your own mistakes." Yay for me eh?

Other then that Damyen and I are still doing well. He's pushing me away right now because he knows how much I have to study. Sadly, my mind is usually too much on him to study. I feel like I'm 15 again. It's kind of cool

Eep... time to make a late night donut run. Then, off to start my finals. Wish me luck... I might need it.

Just a quick update.

Finals are approaching way to fast, and I'm not sure how I'm going to get all my projects done before they hit. It's all insane. I'm getting sick as well. I think it's partially exhaustion from not sleeping enough, but I'm not sure how to remedy that. Thanksgiving break is coming up, but I have to do all my projects there. And then Christmas break is shortly behind, but I'm taking a winterim class so that cuts my break to about two weeks in which I need to work for my mother a few days, and then I need to tackle all my college applications.

Yes, that's right. More college applications. For those who are out of the loop, I'm going into Youth Ministry starting next fall. Not sure where, but I'm kind of eyeing up a college just outside of Chicago. Only time will tell.

Time for this sick woman to sleep.

Oh - a last note. No, Melissa is not single. Not anymore at least. Enter stage right: Damyen.

Things in life are so confusing sometimes. Just when I think I have things figured out, I'm generally proven wrong. Heard something kind of fitting the other day...

Man plans... God laughs.

I just need to realize that I'm not in control here. I've given someone else the power over my lifes. Now I just need to follow the will that is being laid out for me and trust that He knows best for me. Hard to trust someone you can't see when those you can are burning their bridges to you left and right.

Trying to draw the line right now between getting walked all over and letting the light shine through my actions. It's hard to draw. If I was just living this life for myself, I think there are things I wouldn't even give a second thought. Oh, how much easier wouldn't that be? But... how much happier aren't I now? Yeah... God is good. Just don't want to hear what He has to say sometimes. But then... I remember that He walked this earth once too. He knows how it goes. But I still have to listen. Ugh...

So Father... what's next on the agenda? :chuckles:
