the news

I moved into my new apartment on aug 1st and I love it. Although I still have some rearranging to do in my living room and I'm not completely happy with the way my bedroom is set up yet. Plus there is definately some decorating that needs to be done to make it more homey. I will try to get some pictures up soon.

I am still watching the boys 5 days a week, and they are a handful most the time. The news of this week on that front is that Michelle is pregnant for number 6. So now I will be staying on 2 nights a week once classes start. Eli is starting to potty train, so that has been interesting at times. Although I suppose it's a good thing that he's ready for it and will go sit on the potty unannouced, to poop. He has also now been upgraded to a toddler bed, so tends to roam when he is supposed to be taking his nap, so I have to make camp outside of his door to make sure he stays in bed. This week is fair week, so last week I spent most of the week helping the kids finish up their 4-H projects, that was fun but interesting as well. I relaly do enjoy these boys, but I still don't think I want my own kids, at least not for quite a while.

I am still not completely sure of when I will granduate, and which classes I need to take and when I am taking them, however I now have my major and minor declared for the time being, even though that could change again next week. At current I am a Media Studies major with a double emphasis in Video and Audio and minor in Film. Since my major is self-contained I technically don't need and minor and may possibly be getting rid of that and doing a triple emphasis with film. Everything will remain as is until next week at the earliest when I get to meet with Cuffman (my advisor and also the division chair). There are a lot of questions that need to be looked at and answered within the next month with it being a brand new major and only 2 of us that are suppose to graduate this year are in that major. We are kinda the guinea pigs, me more so than the other person. School starts back up in a few weeks and I am hoping that I can have most of it figured out by then since I am getting down to crunch time with an anticipation of only 3 semesters left til graduation.

The boy is doing well and I spent the last weekend over in Detroit with him and his family. I had a blast and am excited to see where this relationship will go. There is so much more I could say on this one, but I will leave it up to you if you really care to know more.
