Finally Time For Fun
There are still a few more sessions of the semester remaining, which means a few more long nights of report writing and other assignments. Fortunately, arduous times on the job and my hatred of school have not encroached on our laughing, talking, and general understanding of each other.
I look at my wife sometimes and wonder just how she made it through 21 consecutive years of school. I’ve been struggling trying to make it through this semester balancing work, graduate school and life in general. I remember in the months leading up to our wedding, she was regularly overwhelmed. Now that the roles have reversed, she’s been more than understanding of my protests. Despite having a summer school class, we are planning a trip to somewhere in Canada, and hopefully there will be fun things to do in and around Baltimore.
The month of April felt like a complete whirlwind. Have you ever felt like there’s 20 things you have to do, and they all need to be done right now? My one objective for May, besides making chores an consistent daily habit, is to do something that is just for her and me at least three times a week. Recently, we’ve gotten into some heavy Scrabble battles, but I’ve reigned supreme over the last two games. I would also like to find a way for us to talk about our feelings for each other more regularly, not because anything is wrong, but because it would be a good habit to start and become familiar with.
The weather has been up and down in Baltimore, hot many days and chilly some of the days. We were expecting rain yesterday, but encountered none on our trip to Bengies’ Drive-In to see "Iron Man." It’s a decent super hero movie, and Robert Downey Jr. has always been hilarious to me. I put it below Spider Man but above Superman.
I promise I’ll be on a lot more frequently in the weeks to come. Just a couple of classes left.
