I am still here, yes I am. Not going anywhere…just haven’t had a lot of time to do anything online lately. A quick update for those who give a shit:
I’ve moved into a larger apartment. This helps my state of mind tremendously because I was truly beginning to despise everything about the other place, which was growing smaller by the second.
Got a raise at work and things are continuing to go well on that front. I still don’t plan to manage real estate for the rest of my life but it’s awfully damn convenient working at home.
I’ve finished the Associate’s degree part of my program and have started work on my dual Bachelor’s degree. I should recieve that all-important piece of sheepskin in a few weeks in the mail. I won’t be attending the graduation ceremony simply because of the fact that I didn’t feel the need to since I’m not done yet. This term, I’m pulling VB.NET applications and Astronomy knowledge out of my ass. Next term, I start trying to cram Management and Marketing knowledge into my head while also taking a 3rd class that will help me finalize the direction of my degree. I was originally doing a dual degree in Business Management and Information Technology, but found that if I went the IT Management route, I could use the second part of my degree program for other things. Right now, I’m looking at doing a B.A. along with the B.S. to feed my need for variety. I’d like a B.A. in Literature but I’m not sure yet. Beginning in the Fall, I’ll be doubling my courseload (God fucking help me) in order to graduate on time.
The kids are growing by leaps and bounds. Monkeyboy is continuing to do well with his schoolwork…but his behavior is still out of the realm of what the school feels is good behavior. He’s chatty and still a bit ‘hyperactive’. My attitude? He’s not hurting anyone or himself, he’s healthy, happy and active…leave him the fuck alone. I’m tired of them trying to squeeze him into some preconceived mold of what a ‘normal’ kid is supposed to be and I simply won’t be party to that. Schools go out of their way these days to preach ‘tolerance’, yet I’m still being ‘encouraged’ to seek medical advice (read: medication) to make him sit still. Fuck off and deal with it.
BooBoo is holding his own in school, but we’ll begin homeschooling in the Fall. He has plumb run out of patience with his peers and the slow pace of his schoolwork. He’s (in his words) bored to DEATH! The poor boy has inherited his mother’s impatience and intolerance for bullshit, that’s for sure. I’m a bit concerned about pulling him out of school just as he hits his teens, but I’m sure we’ll manage.
