Florida

So I've been in Florida for two months now and it's... sticky (to say the least).  It wouldn't be so bad, but no matter how many times I sit it down and have that "do what I tell you to do" peptalk, I'm not really making any headway with it.  So, up on my head it goes.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only ASU fan that resides anywhere in SEC territory (read: sadface), but I will continue to rock my ASU sweatshirt in the winter and accept looks of pity from fans of football giants such as Florida and Georgia.  At least I can say my school is pretty awesome despite our (frequent) football blunders- most agree due to the sheer size, location, and party scene.  Oh, I almost forgot.  About ASU: apparently I didn't graduate in May? (Who knew?)  In my last semester I retook two classes- classes I thought I had withdrawn from.  Apparently, I didn't withdraw from both, but only one, and I received a passing (albeit poor) grade in one of them, causing me to receive credits for it.  I had no idea, so when applying online for Department of Defense jobs (DoD- Call Me!!) I figured it out.  I whined. I cried. I cursed the stupid transcript-checker program ASU uses- but in the end, I registered for English 114- English Linguistics.  Frustrated and annoyed, I must remember back to my Junior High English classes as well as do "diagrams" again (if you're a product of any form of private or honors/AP education at any point in time, you might know what I am referencing).  Fabulous news: Class is over in three days!!! Which means: Now I really AM graduating (on paper, that is).

Now, if I could just find a grown-up job.  I'm growing loathsome over the fact that four nights a week, as Joe gets off work I am just beginning it, severely limiting the time we spend together. Add in his classes at Embry-Riddle that he begins August 10 (I'm so very proud of my future Officer!!) and I will get to spend one quality day/evening/night with him a week. Not that I don't like serving (I love the fact that I always have cash in hand) I'm just growing weary of the schedule, and I'd like to think that going to college helped me get a better job.
