Welcome back, Reality

Today is the last day of my only week (well, really 10 days) off all summer. And I spent most of it either a.) running around Cary doing errands I didn't have time to do while I was working full-time or b.) in New Bern trying to juggle seeing both of my parents and Brian an equal amount of time. In other words, I don't think it should count as far as time off goes.

Now I'm back to reality, as school starts back tomorrow, and I am really dreading it. Not only do I not have a job yet (the school of social work is posting jobs on Wednesday, but as I'm sure most of my classmates are just as desperate as I am, I'm trying not to get my hopes up), but my classes this semester don't exactly tickle my fancy.

I'm taking:

• Marketing and Fundraising
• Nonprofit Law
• Community Theory & Practice

Wahoo.

I'm also not looking forward to going back to the generally one-sided liberal climate of the school, and social work in general. I don't consider myself to be an incredibly conservative person, or a Republican at all, but compared to most opinions over there, I might as well be Ronald Reagan. Or Ann Coulter, my new hero (she's conservative AND sarcastic.) It's not that I don't like the people there--they are all very nice--but I am tired of being the only conservative voice (and the one constantly going, WAIT, what about people with disabilities?? People are starting to get annoyed with me, I think, but what ABOUT people with disabilities??). In conclusion, it could be a trying (and exhausting) semester.

In wedding news, we got a photographer. Next up, finding a band for the reception.
