I finalized my summer history class by finishing my 18 page paper that was due by midnight tonight! YES! 18 pages. It was double spaced so that takes up some room but geez, it took me like 4 days to finish this paper. I can't complain too much because I truly do know everything there is to know about the Chinese dynasties, Greek culture, and the mythological beginnings of Rome. I bet after writing that paper I will dream about being raised by she-wolfs tonight.
I am not kidding when I say that life is moving slowly. Have you ever felt like you were stuck in time? I feel like June 2008 is just repeating over and over again. This month will NEVER end. Since we decided on a moving date out of Jersey, I am counting down and I predict that the next 11 months will go by very S-L-O-W-L-Y. I do not want to offend any of my Jersey friends but I am ready to leave. I can appreciate that it is home to some people and I appreciate their "Jersey" pride but I am homesick for the West. And to those people who will say, "Just quit complaining then and get out of Jersey" believe me when I say, I wish I could. (again, nothing personal against New Jersey) I just need to finish nursing school. I am too far into my program to quit now.
This week promises to start out wonderful since Jaxson developed a hacking cough and runny nose this morning. I love Jaxson because not only is he my overly affectionate child but he can also be my very moody child. Especially when he is not feeling well. I kept him busy tonight by making sugar cookies which I plan on delivering to my "friends" LOL, LOL (don't say I didn't warn you if you receive a plate of cookies from the Borowski's tomorrow)
****I was totally kidding about the cookies!*************************

You know, I totally understand. That's exactly how I felt in Utah. I hated it. I was miserable. All I wanted to do was be in NJ with my family.
Looking back, though, I regret feeling and talking that way.
You don't have control for the next 10 or so months - you have to finish the nursing program. It could be miserable, or you can find something you like, something to be grateful for.
Your neighbors don't make it easy, and the humidity probably drives you nuts, but trust me. Find something you like and cling to that. Find free and fun activities. Go hiking in the little squatty hills we call mountains (Hickory Run State Park in PA for example). Live it up while you're here and have no regrets. You're going back to Utah, we all know it, so find some joy in today, will ya? And if you need help, give me a call. -s
Take this time to recharge your batteries. The last year will exhaust you more than you ever have in your life. Document what it's like to feel human, by December 5th, you will have forgotten.
Have an awesome summer.
