Ramblings

I'm really tired. So I should go to bed, right? Well, as I've stated many times before, it helps me sleep better if I get my thoughts in writing before bed. That way they find a way out of my head and don't swirl around in my silly brain and keep me awake.

So today has been all about chemistry. I have an instrumental analysis test on Monday, which I felt completely unprepared for this morning. After a 50 minute question and answer session in class, 30 minutes of reading the book, 30 minutes discussing problems with a classmate, 2 hours of class discussion in my lab, 1 hour of one-on-one time with my lab TA, and an hour and a half of text reading after the girls went to bed, I'm about all chemed out. But I feel a lot more prepared for my test. Unfortunantly, I still have a lot more to get in my head before monday.

I have big questions on my mind, too. What am I going to do when I graduate? It's coming up soon, and it's not looking like I'll be able to do what I want to do without at least some grad school. But would grad school even be possible since I have these two very demanding girls and Miguel's job requires him to be away most of the year? He said there's a bridge job in Baltimore next year that's supposed to last 2 years. Should I go ahead and put the house up for sale as soon as I graduate and join him in Baltimore once it sells? Could I do some graduate level course work in Baltimore while Miguel works? I just don't know. I should be worrying about my three tests next week, but instead, these are the worries that are dominating my thought processes right now.

However, I am sufficiently tired, so I better get some sleep.

p.s. the girls are both doing very well. no more sickness for the time being...
