finally

After a solid year of working and going to school I have finally been able to catch a break. Last week was actually the first week I had the chance to come home and do nothing. I am so relieved. I also got my grades from my two summer classes and was very impressed that I pulled off an A and a B. As hard as this first year of college was for me, I can honestly say that going through everything I have been through this year, there is not a task or class I can't master. I am kind of glad I put myself through some of the toughest classes because now other classes will hopefully seem like a breeze. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

In my extra time I now have I have absolutely become obsessed with Jon & Kate Plus 8. I love love love this show. I record all the episodes on TiVo and watch all of them some times twice. I am so amazed at how well the two of them can handle eight kids. Watching the show kind of makes me want to have multiples. Michael would kill me if he knew that, but I am so amazed by Kate and all that she does it inspires me to be just like that. I know I am cheesy, but I really feel like I know their family just by watching their show!

I have also picked up on the tail end of the Bachelorette. I watched a couple through the season because Michael's cousin, Graham, was on the show. I am not really into the whole Bachelor/Bachelorette show thing, but last night I did want to watch the finale for some reason. As I watched the show I realized exactly why it was I don't like the show. The entire show is about one guy or girl who kisses, hugs, dates, whatever several other guys or girls in pursuit of the perfect one. I am so sorry if I offend anyone when I say this but that is absolutely the most pathetic and desperate thing I have ever watched. I cannot imagine being one of twenty-five girls in one guy's life and know that what he is telling me is exactly what he is telling twenty-four other girls. I just don't understand the concept behind the show. I know that I am probably the only person who doesn't like the show, but I am willing to stand alone on this one.

Michael just showed up so I am going to go watch some TV with him and I will catch up here a little later. See you guys soon!!
