The slow and painful death of a laptop...

So finally after a downward spiral into unworkable one of our laptops has died; will not turn on, coming apart, insides are showing dead.  The other is surely not far behind.  The battery will not lock into place anymore and drops out at random.  It also runs so hot that I am constantly worried that the thing just may combust.  I caved a few days ago and bought a small laptop/netbook.  It was on sale on newegg and I had homework that I couldn't get done so it was an absolute necessity.  I got it today and it is adorable and super light.  Still sad about the loss of my old computers, but very much excited to have a new gadget.

Couped up on a Beach Day

Here I am at home doing homework... again.   I can't stand watching while everyone including my own little one takes off for the beach.  I know it has to be done but these summer classes are killing me.  I don't ever want to take a whole semester off again (though I may be forced to yet again for silly reasons that can not be avoided), but having summers to not worry about child care and condensed classes would be nice.  Hopefully I can take the books with me sometime this summer and get to the beach myself and get some sun.  Being confined to my house and deadlines its depressing.

Nose to the grindstone

Its me...  notoriously unreliable as usual with my posts.  I have been working hard at school, settled in my house, holding up a steady relationship, and dealing with a little boy going to school for the first time.  My life is hectic, but great.  Summer is going to be rough for me, but I will finish with an AA and be starting on my bachelors in fall.  I got a letter from my school this week and was notified that I am on the presidents list for outstanding academic achievement.  Apparently my community college has a presidents list instead of a deans list... whatever, it still kicks ass.  Who knew I would be so dead set on getting good grades.  Its a good feeling for someone that who could barely even concentrate and was okay with just getting by.  I would gladly let someone else do the work for the 2 math classes that I have going on right now though.  Other than that things have been boring...  highlight of my week off between semesters was reading the Hunger Games Trilogy and beating Dragon Age II on X Box...  I love that my man and I can veg out and have pajama days playing video games occasionally.  That's it for now.  I need to get back to a paper and about 20 hrs worth of math homework...

So I'm a little crazy...

I just take off from time to time.  The only thing I have been solidly able to commit to lately is my new (4 mos new) beau, and school... and of course my little one, but that's a given.  I have been busting my ass and I graduate this summer with my AA and then go on to UCF where I will be working on my bachelors.  I feel so lame for being almost 30 and so behind on school.  I guess its excusable since it was delayed because of the military and a kiddo.  At least the military is paying for school.  So I am back.  If anyone is still around :)

I have had some interesting things like finally moving into my house and my mother getting remarried, my baby sister getting married. Other than that I have been boring as hell.  I haven't even had time to read more than one book for fun this year so far.  I have homework out the wazoo.  And on that note I need to get back to it.  Hope all is well with everyone.  I have missed all my blogger friends.

My view today!

So I have so much crap that I have planned to put up and post on the blog, but I have been super distracted since the move and settling in.  Things are finally calming down and I will get to all that other stuff later, but I just wanted to share my awesome weekend so far.

I spent the day boating today and it was glorious.  This is a major reason I missed home.  It was an awesome day and I had so much fun.  I haven't gone out on a boat in the summer and just ran it across the lake I don't even know how long.  Then there is the glen were the water is super clear and everyone comes to park their boats, swim, drink, and just have a fun time.  Seriously missed this.

FRECKLES!!!

Had dinner on the river on the way home at a restaurant that has boat parking for all the people boating on the river :)

I came home to more awesomeness when I opened a package to find my new Dr Who shirt I ordered had arrived.  Just in time for tonight's season 6 part 2 episode too!

I'm happy and exhausted.  Now it is time for bed.

Later guys!
