I am a Warrior.

I've been waiting a long time to finally post this, and I have, just about everywhere now: I have officially accepted admittance to CSU Stanislaus.

Imagine this: coming home from Philosophy - le sucks - to two little sisters absolutely shitfaced drunk on grape juice and hunger.

"What's in the juice?"
"What's in your head?"
"Jay!"
"Ina."
"Kookie!"
*groan*
"McDonald's?"
"Shoosh yes."

Gold Lion pounding out loud, turning the corner to our street at 50mph instead of 20 and then headbanging without mercy with the volume at max with the windows rolled up.

"Good thing I have my own car now else we wouldn't be able to do this."

Picture this: an hour later, your mother goes on a cleaning binge. You hide in your room.

1. I may very well be quitting Me-N-Ed's tonight.

2. I wrote myself a note and stuck it on top of my alarm clock before bed. It says this: "Learn from the past. Time is precious; don't waste it. If it is past 6am, you're screwed."
Because I've been noticing that I have a very bad habit of procrastinating. Like, I think to myself, "When I get home from work, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed early", and then I let myself get distracted and wait until 10 to actually take the shower and stay up on the computer doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE. So today I woke up earlier than usual and actually got dressed fully (sometimes I'll just pull a sweatshirt over my pj top) and put on my face before going off to do crossing guard duty. That way, when I got back home, the spare 20 minutes was for me to use as breakfast time (whole wheat toast with a thick spread of cream cheese and lots of thin sliced strawberries) instead of rush and finish getting ready time.

3. I want a child of my own. I've been working at the Childcare Center for over a month and I have grown to really really REALLY love children and enjoy taking care of them. Washing their little hands, playing with them, feeding them, changing them, putting them down for naps...
Today when they had outdoor time I got down on all fours and pretended that I was a Vampire Werewolf and chased them down and tickled them.

Now, let's be reasonable. I'm not married or even in a relationship or able to afford a child. I know that. I'm not saying that I want a child of my own with the full intention of making it happen. It's going to happen eventually. I'm just so excited about it. For now I am just really really happy being a daycare teacher.
