Sooo tired of school!

I guess it's a great thing I have the opportunity to come back to school for a master's degree BUT it is a lot of work. I'm seriously drained and don't have much left to get through 2 more weeks of this constant grammar and vocab in Italian. Last night I watched a great newer movie called "Teh Painted Veil" with Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. I totally recommend it to those, who like me, love a good drama. It's a love story of sorts in the early 20th century in China during a Cholera outbreak.
Nicole is back after a quick and crazy trip to Boise, Idaho to visit her pappy in the hospital. She is worried how he will take to the drastic life change that must occur now that he doesn't have a colon. But she did come back to me and I am soooo glad. I'm anxious to see my family and it has been way too long since that has happened. They were going to come up to Eugene for Nicole's graduation but Mom was very sick, in and out of the hospital, the week prior to graduation. I think it's been 10 months! Too long!
I'm feeling quite contemplative today. I'm not so sure going to library school is a high priority of mine now. I love the idea of being a librarian. But i think I want to try it on first, maybe get a library job to see if it fits before I commit to a long term and very arduous program. God is totally in control of that now, I'm not going to worry about it. Off to work I go.....

Ahhh, first Saturday free all summer!
What best to do but go to the library and check out fly fishing books and old Friends and Will and Grace episodes. I think I'll make a list of the many Operas they had to check out and try to feel better about pursuing a Masters degree in something I hardly know anything about. Anyhow, Opera is fantastic and I want to know more yet I don't have any desire to learn how to act. It's another reason I should definitely be librarian. What will i do the rest of th day.....hmmm let's see. Nothing I'm supposed to do of course.

I'm going to use this as a journal of sorts but won't get to personal. If anyone is out there do you know how to add favorite movies or book covers with reviews on here? I'm brand new to this. Any help?

I found this picture online. the caption read, "Why kids shouldn't be left alone!" I couldn't resist! What great blackmail this shot will be when the boy is older, such splendid dirt! mua hah hah!

I'm supposed to be studying for my Italian final right now. I'm so burnt on school I would rather do pretty much anything. So I settled with Blog time. Man I'm sick of school! Today I choose to quit it all. Tomorrow I'm sure I'll change mind. One day at a time.
