Spring Break...

So as of Friday late morning I am officially on Spring Break!  Which is a relief on one hand but not on others.

Since UCSD is on a quarter system, when I return to school on March 28th it will be to start a whole new slew of classes.  Which is good just because I'm not trying to remember where I left off before break, like with a semester system, but it only gives me one week to decompress from this past quarter.   Still, I'm looking forward to my new classes. Weighing heavily in History this time around, since I'm trying to wrap up my requirements for my History major as quickly as I can.  Adding the double-major adds to my course load, and since I didn't prepare for a Sociology major I now have to take "extra" classes to make sure that I meet that department's graduation requirements.  Plus I have to reach a certain number of upper division units for my college, so again everything I do from here on out is threefold when it comes to graduation requirements. But as a whole I'm looking forward to new quarter.

One of the downsides to my break is that my daughter still has school this week since her Spring Break isn't for another couple weeks.  This year breaks just did not line up.  So there goes my mornings of sleeping in.  Not that I really get to sleep in, come 8am usually both my kids are coming in asking for breakfast or for me to break up some argument they have already started.  I swear, the bickering that goes on between those two is payback for the hard time my brother and I gave my mom with our bickering.  I guess I can just relish the thought that when they have kids of their own they will get their comeuppance.... but I digress.  My son will be home with me for the week too, which isn't a bad thing just takes more planning on my part to get things done.  The world does not stop and definitely doesn't let me veg out for a week.

So lots to do this week.  Things to catch-up on and other things to get in order for the new quarter.  Back to the gym starting Monday, and back onto a restricted calorie diet for me.  Beach season is coming and some of us want to wear their bikinis with pride!  :)  My hope is to get to blog a little more this week too since there have been things weighing on my mind recently that I want to share.  Apparently my subconscious thinks so too since I have been having some insane dreams lately.  Some where between stress dreams and apocalyptic ones.  Whatever they are it tells me that I have a lot more on my mind than I usually let myself worry about.  It makes sense though, almost a year has past since my life changed suddenly and dramatically.  But more on that later... after all I want you all to return again.
