It's simply possible that I've run out of things to say.

I'm taking a break from blogging. This might actually be the end of it all. Can't decide. I've got too many things to read, I'm training for another half marathon in May, trying to drop 20 pounds (update, as of today, I've lost five). These things seem to take up a lot of time. For instance, right now, I'm going to head back to my bedroom to read some articles for my developmental psychopathology class. This class is quickly in the running for my favorite class this semester. Behavioral neuroscience is right behind it. I ended up dropping 2 of my 6 classes this semester because I ran into a 3rd year student who let me know that the intelligence testing, cognitive psych, and bx neuroscience classes are three of the toughest classes offered by my school, and I, like a crazy person, am taking them all at the same time.

Nice that my advisor didn't advise me of any of this shit.

Anyway, I dropped the Anxiety Disorders seminar and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I can take them next year, so it's no great shakes. But it IS a pain in the ass considering that I'd spent 250 dollars on text books for these two classes - ordered from Amazon, so it's not like I can just drop by the book store to return them. Isn't it *fun* that I've spent $700 on textbooks this semester, and that's not even counting the money I'll spend printing out the dozens of online articles we're assigned (because I'm freaking 40 and I just can't read things on line).

Sigh. Okay, so maybe I have a few more things to say. I'm looking for a part time job. I've gotten to the point where I'm even applying for word processing and admin positions, because no one's hiring counselors. There just ain't shit out there. Not for part timers, anyway. And I've got about enough money to make it to March. This shit's about to get heavy.

All right, I'm off to study. Hope your holidays and new year were fabulous. 2008 had its moments, but I'm hoping that 2009 is going to be a fuckload better.
