You Give and You Take, You Come and You Go

I thought that using those lyrics as my title would result in me figuring out how to talk about my job and school starting back up (will I survive?!) but inspiration did not strike. As Monday draws near, the realization that this is going to be a stressful semester starts to sink in. It is kind of like being surrounded by that dark void in Kingdom Hearts as Sora falls and the theme song plays? You just have no idea what's going on and you can't get out of it? Yeah, that. Obviously I'm not attempting something really hard like parenting or working 40 hours a week on top of school but for me, my plate is still full. Juggling day practicum, running a group, normal course work, working 19-23 hours a week, self care, and being involved with other humans on a semi-normal basis just... 

also, My blog decided to delete this original post so I had to rewrite it. I hate times being wrong -_-

This Is Halloween

( From: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs12/i/2006/304/5/e/This_is_Halloween_by_mandi_chan.jpg )

Halloween is normally my favorite holiday. For one night, society encourages the children to embrace the weird, the scary, the fantastic. No one questions it. They tell the children to talk to strangers and eat the candy they give them while they are dressed up as all kinds of creatures. It's great! Unfortunately, I did not get to really celebrate it this year because I was working. I actually didn't get to watch any of the movies I would have normally been excited for or do any of the things that I normally would have done for Halloween because I was too busy. I did go to HoS, MNSSHP, and to HHN BUT those are new traditions. Oh well. Better luck next year right? At least I still get to celebrate it tomorrow with Catherine!

Late For Work

If there is one thing I absolutely dislike it is being late for things. Except for school. To be fair, it was never instilled in me as a child to want to be on time or to want to attend school. Learning was easy for me and my mother didn't particularly like being awake at 7 am so I was usually late.

BUT ANYTHING ELSE and I dislike being late for it. As soon as I even think that I am going to be late I hear Kingdom Hearts battle music and I start to panic. I couldn't begin to explain why, that is just what happens. And it is what happened to day when I ended up being 20 minutes late to work :(

Things I was also late to include knowing it was my brother in law's birthday and knowing the tickets for Hunter's Jacksonville tour date went on presale today.

Could've. Should've. Would've

This weekend was supposed to be about productivity. I was going to clean my house, go to the store, study for my tests, read ahead, and then reward myself by leveling up in my Kingdom Hearts game. Well... None of that happened.

     SIDENOTE: LOOK AT THIS MARVELOUS PICTURE OF ALL THE KEY BLADES THEY ARE SO PERFECT I CAN'T STAND IT. 

Instead I bonded with my sisters, kind of studied for my test, ate a bunch of junk food, watched movies, TV- comaed over The Walking Dead/TeenWolf/American Horror Story/The Tribe and bought 26 dollars worth of Disney soundtracks. I'm such a success. 

The sisterhood bonding that happened today was lots of fun though. We met up with our beta chapter at this really pretty state park and just got to know each other a little better. My little, a few others, and I went for a really long hike where we reenacted the "you shall not pass" scene from Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings with gigantic walking sticks. Laughter ensued and it was generally tons of fun. The day ended with the discussion of Disney drag queens and a Disney jam session on the way home.

Now to return to my studying dungeon... I'll just leave this here.
