So far today I have been pretty productive. I was up before 9:00, which is a big deal for me now that I am not working. I am gradually trying to get up earlier and earlier. My goal is to be up by absolutely no later than 8:00 so that I am not wasting my days sleeping. Once I was up, my first task of the day was to finally get my car inspected. So, that is one mission accomplished. Then I had to pick up my health history forms from Dr. Powers' office. Not only did I pick them up, but I sent them to RIT as soon as I got home. Then, I met shawn at work for lunch. The Italian restaurant he wanted to take me to was closed for renovations until labor day, so we just went to Dibella's for subs. That was just as nice to me.
Yesterday we went out on the boat for a little bit with dad and patti, and shawn and I both got burned. We are feeling it today. For the rest of the day I plan on studying for the GMAT and living in the pool. It's another hot one!
I have been feeling a little down lately because I feel stuck between life stages. Shawn has graduated and landed a great job, and we just bought our first house. I, however, still have at least one more year of school left and am not working right now. I feel like I have one foot in the "real world" and one foot in the "college world". But, I talked with shawn for a long time last night, and that made me feel a little better. Then, Tara left a comment on my blog that really snapped me out of it. She reminded me not to wish my life away or "fastforward" through to the next scene. That is great advice that I need to always remember. RIT will be great, and it will give me an opportunity to shine. I am lucky to have the opportunity to work on my master's without having to work a part time job as well. I think RIT will do a lot to boost my confidence, but I am still a little nervous about starting at a new school at a much higher level than I am used to. But, I know it will be a real growth opportunity, and I will thank myself for doing it in the end.
On that note, slow down a little and take in every scene in life, otherwise you might fastforward through the good parts and not even realize you missed them.

Glad to hear you got some stuff done today. It always feels good too. I'm glad my comment helped you out. Every time I find myself saying "oh, I wish it were Friday" or "Oh I wish I had my own classroom" I try to remember to enjoy each moment. Life is way too damn short! Glad you soaked up some rays today...it is hotter than hell here today too...luckily I didn't have to be outside too much! Love ya!
So here's the deal... It's awesome that you're taking on the challenge of getting a Masters from RIT. That's huge. You got so much so quickly. The house, the pool etc. You ARE in the real world totally and so responsible. I honestly could not be prouder of any of my children. Perhaps you should hone up on your Spanish for Wednesday. Or make ababy? ( Just kidding) ( Well kinda) ( no really I know 3 years and that is a perfect plan. You've got it goin on Em. Don't lose sight of that. Love Ya lots......
