So a few thoughts have come to me in the past 24 hours.
+ I sent a good friend of mine a long letter – it was nice telling her for christmas along with sending her a nice gift how much I missed her and appreciated her. We met senior year of college at the hockey games and started going out together to our local bar shortly thereafter. She’s awesome though. She’s got the niceness of a midwestern girl, the love of hockey and baseball like a tomboy but she can/used to be able to drink like the best of us. Her and I – in the few short months we were friends – shortly after the spring break fiasco with my other two “bff’s” – became near attached at the hip, she waited many Thursday nights for me to be done with the OC before we’d head over for thirsty Thursday at OHE, we’d have many many drunk brunches, and we’d always save a seat for one another at hockey games. I miss her though, good friendships that are just…easy and entirely without drama are hard to find. I find myself missing her more and more because above the fact that she was just…awesome to hang out with, she was also easy to confide in. I don’t have too many friends like that anymore and even less here in DC – friends that are just…easy to be with, low drama, reliable and trustworthy – they’re hard to find and even harder to keep *sigh* I miss my girls like we used to be back in Boston…*sigh*
+ Boyfriend and I have little moments – tonight it was while I attempted to put Ikea furniture together for the bedroom. Moments when you just see yourself spending your life with someone and knowing that you’ll be happy. He makes me happy. His family is fabulous and one that I wouldn’t at all mind being a part of. He’s sleeping on our half destroyed sofa now, pup is laying on the chair behind me on top of the cushion but largely…I’m very happy with him. I look forward to many more car trips with him in a car of our own eventually, balancing time with each family because I very much feel as if I didn’t get to see my family nearly enough…but thats another rant for another time. He told me tonight, his hungry, grumpy self pulled me up from my Ikea ruins and told me how he is looking forward to spending his life with me. Moments like that make me happy 
+ I’ve decided I’m going to pursue my teaching certification this summer – most likely back in CT. It’s a good way to get us back there and well…i’m sick of politics. DC burned me out. It’s burning me out. This 2008 presidential stuff is just…annoying. I can’t wait till it’s all over. It makes me wonder how I did politics for 3 years in college after getting involved with the College Dems. But I’ve always had this desire to teach but after I did so badly freshman year of college – and ended up losing my scholarship I focused on nothing but raising my gpa and never had the 3.0 to get into the school of Ed at NU. So this summer, I’m going to start taking classes to get my certification and hopefully fall of 2009 i’ll start working on my Masters in Education. It’s a noble career and one I can very much see myself being happy doing. I’m looking for certification in high school social studies so I can teach young kids – much like my own AP US History teacher taught me – the importance of being involved in government and the history of our democracy. Then again, my mind could also change again tomorrow – given the way I’ve been thinking lately in regards to my career.
- My Itunes is skipping…this does not please me one bit as the last time that crap happened I ended up losing my DJ Remixed computer for 3 months. Not intentionally but mostly because we all know best buy sucks. Hopefully it’s just cause my poor computer is overworked (only half kidding there) and needs to be rebooted. We’ll see.
Anyhow, I suppose I’ll get back to my ikea furniture – one more bookshelf to go then I can start working on the mess that is the bedroom. Yay!!!!
