Oooo.... Ahhh.... Hmmm.... Haaa...

So, August 7th I'll be headn' 'er down to Kingston to take a browse around for an apartment. Can I just say that I am SUPER excited for that? I haven't been someplace (other than an itty bitty shit-town) since....... my weekend in Niagara Falls with Key Club. Oh boy that was a while ago.

Today James and I were discussing what we want to do with our lives. He was considering going back to school to be a lawyer (which I was totally for) but now he's starting to take another look at that decision because then he "has" to go back to a part-time minimum-wage job (I told him he doesn't have to, he could always be a security guard at a bar, or someplace where he only works evenings or weekends). So now it's back to the military idea.... which  scares me a little. I don't like the military. I don't like the control they have over you once you're there, and I don't like how they mess around with you as much as they possibly can. And I really don't like the idea of my man being gone for 6 months at a time, not knowing if he's OK or not. It just really scares me. I wish he'd take my wants into consideration. There's so many jobs he could get with his current qualifications.... why can't he just grasp that.

Then we started talking about what we should have done in high school, what mistakes we made (he wishes he'd taken more math so he can take the Astrophysics ((or something like that)) at Queen's), and I wish I would have kept with my writing classes. Now, I don't regret taking my baking courses, I love baking and I love decorating cakes, I still do it quite often (speaking of which, I have 200 cupcakes to make for August 13th!), but I also LOVE writing and really regret not taking more courses on the subject. I was supposed to take a few of them, Journalism, Creative Writing, and History of Literature (or something similar). But then one of the courses was going to be taught by a teacher I wasn't very fond of, and I dropped all of them to take other courses. I also wish I would have taken a few more phys-ed courses. That would have come in handy... I probably wouldn't have gained all this weight.

Ahh regrets... don't you just love them? I probably should have studied harder my last year too, and (I'll admit) there was a certain someone who distracted me from the wonderful world of knowledge. I wouldn't change that for the world though. James is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me, I love him to death. Speaking of which, time to drive 20 minutes to go get him from work..... (Kingston has public transit YAY)!

Ciao for now!
