Despair Humor...

A couple people told me about this website for Despair, Inc. (http://www.despair.com) so I thought I'd share because I thought some of these were pretty funny.

Changes...

Okay so...It seems that time just seems to slip by me lately and it's so hard to catch my breath and catch up. The last month or so has been a blur of activity.

As far as my move...I was able to find a place, get myself packed up, and get moved. I had an awesome moving crew that consisted of Nifer, Jeff, and some of my work buds. They were so awesome and I so appreciated everyone taking time out to come out to help! I ended up moving to the Issaquah Highlands which is a bit farther than I had wanted to move, but I'm slowly getting used to the commuting and distance from everything.

It's so weird being in a house again after being in condos and apartments for so long. The first night I was here I couldn't get over how quiet it was. No sounds from loud neighbors upstairs or next to me. It helps too that it's a huge 4 bedroom house with only 3 people living in it. The only weird thing about this house is that it totally causes me to be sleepy. No..seriously! I used to be this person that went to bed on average like at 2am or so and now I rarely stay up past 1am. Not sure what to make of this. Maybe the place is too quiet and relaxing.

On the school front, I am going into the 2nd month and am officially halfway through my 1st quarter of Grad School. Balancing school with the move and with work has been somewhat of a challenge. I've never taken 4 classes at the same time while working full-time. There have been some bad times trying to balance it all, but some not so bad times as well. It helps that I absolutely love the people in my cohort, really like the instructors, and am really interested in the classes.

The one thing that has emerged from school that I wasn't expecting is how connected I feel to all my classmates in my cohort. I mentioned before how I had even felt connected during a short week with them, but now that feeling has grown over the last month or so. A short time back, I was having a tough time and I was just blown away by how much support I received from everyone. These people are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I can not express how much all their support means to me. I feel very fortunate to be part of such a wonderful group of people!

I think that's about it as far as updates and changes. Well we did end Daylight Savings time and I was happy to get my extra 1 hour of sleep. So yay for that!
