fall?

yikes. i sure have been a bad blogger.

i'm battling a bad cold right now, but i wanted to stop by and say that i'll be posting sometime soon.

my fall break is just finishing up, and i am sooo not ready to go back to school on monday. this break felt just a little too nice. even if the weather has been a little warm on the warm side. i guess it will be cold soon enough. i went to denver to see my grandparents, and then to reno to be with my mom, who had surgery today. she is recovering at the hospital still. because i have this miserable cold, i couldn't go see her today. hopefully she will be coming home tomorrow, and hopefully i will have kicked this cold by then too.

when i woke up in my bed here in reno today, i got really sad about the thought of going back to vallejo. i guess the adjustment is one of those "one step forward, two steps back" kind of situations. i need to get back into the grind of school soon too because my next block exams will be here before i know it i am sure. while i survived the first round, it didn't go as well as it could have... not just in terms of grades, but in terms of how i handled the stress and anxiety. but i now that i know what to expect, i know how to prepare better. i wanted to have a strong start, but i pretty much knew what i was doing to myself when i put off studying until the weekend before my exams. that kind of thing just doesn't work out well anymore for me. i've never really had to pay a price for my procrastination... and it's hard to change habits when you don't pay a price. but it's definitely time to start working harder.

ok. well. i think it's time for bed now.

and by the way... october, you came way too soon!
