Trash the Dress

I would love to do this one day.  I think the photos that come out of these sessions are so interesting and artistic. On the day you're so worried about hurting the dress or getting it dirty you can't really play and do so many of the fun things these brides get to do.  Here are some pictures from Angela who is a photographer from New York.  She just wrote an article about Trash the Dress for Offbeatbride.com

Home

I'm at home.  I like it.  It's familiar and my family is silly and we have puppies that make silly things happen.  It's also difficult because everything is different too.  It should all be the same as when I left except it's not.  Which seems silly to me.  Oh well.  I still like coming home to visit.  I will probably never live here full time again though.   Which is a weird feeling.

In other news, I have zero clue what I'm doing with my life post graduation.  I have a list of possibilities but nothing concrete.  I should talk to someone about all my life ideas.  Someone who has a clue.  Law school is definitely still in the picture but it's more of a several years away type of picture.  Now what to do till then.

Europe

Christy is not going to Europe any longer. :(  I am seriously starting to worry about going to Europe money wise.  I know that it's the experience of a life time but it's also several thousand dollars I do not have. Which scares me.  But, I am going to save money and I will go.  That is final. 

Just gonna wing it

My Africa final is today at 12.  I have not studied.  Well I've studied some.  But not like I should have.  I could be an A student if I tried hard.  Instead I'm smart enough to get B's with some A's and be happy.  Oh well. I hate this class anyway.  I hate stupid people in the class and I hate this stupid class.  I learned hardly nothing because it was taught so badly.  I did come to enjoy my TA though, even if she did try to mother us.

Game Boy Song

I like nerdy songs.

Worst Grade Ever...

So I got my Africa 277 paper back.  I knew it was going to be bad.  I thought I had failed.  But instead I did just better than failing.  Well that's not true.  I got a BC (a very low BC).  I hate myself for not doing better.  Hopefully I can meet with my TA and discuss it with her.  And maybe... just maybe, sneak out a B or close to an AB.  Except it's finals week so I really don't have time to rewrite this paper on top of writing two others.

Sigh.  I hate school.

"I'm such a good wife..."

"I'm the best wife ever! allowing the husband to buy a new tv :)"


This is a facebook status of a girl who I went to h.s. with who recently got married.  


It angers me for several reasons but most specifically because I feel that a relationship is a partnership.  It is not about having control over different aspects of that relationship.  You should discuss and come to agreement.  


Maybe a better status could be "My husband and I decided to buy a new TV for our home!" 


It's two people in a relationship equally together.  There shouldn't be a power balance.  Now certain things are regulated in relationships (i.e. Pat does the dishes when I do the cooking) but any large decisions about our lives are usually spent in discussion and we come to an agreement about how to move forward. We don't share money at the moment but things for the house are bought together.  Like the Desk.  We each shared the cost and came to an agreement about what kind/what should be included.  


I did not "Let" him get a desk.  Nor has he ever "let" me do anything.  

Sometimes

Sometimes it's very frustrating to be in a relationship.  We both are stressed and busy.  On top of that we haven't actually gotten to see each other for several weeks now.  And we won't for another couple of weeks because I have finals and then I have a horse show and then to top all of that off he's leaving to be apart of a drum corp staff for the summer. Awesome.  Sometimes I wonder why life decides to be so cruel.
