It's here...

...and I'm ready for it. Time to be a mommy, and I am so excited!

School has been so weird this week, full of ups and downs. I had my first major test in grammar. I think I did well on some parts, and bombed others. I got a C- on a piece of homework I turned into editing. Sigh. I haven't seen a C, much less a C- since High School. Usually, if I do it, I do it well. But editing is something I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around. Go figure, I have to justify all my bullshit, remember a list of rules, apply them correctly...and check spelling! Akk! Good thing I'm not looking at doing this as my career...I'd have to figure out something different fast! On the plus side, I did very well on my first big paper in Lit Crit. A-. Technical difficulties, go figure. Oh, and spelling out 'coma' in place of 'comma'. Huge difference!

My mind hasn't really been on school though...it's baby baby baby. We've known for less than a week...and already I have so many questions...I want to know so many things. I've been making baby stuff lists, looking at Craigslist for deals, dreaming of staying home and just being mommy.

These next few months are going to fly...everyone recommends keeping a journal of some sort, so this might turn into a pregnancy journey journal...with the rest of my life thrown in. We'll see. I have to wait almost a full month before I go see my Doctor and see how things are progressing. I think we might do the first ultrasound...I think it will really sink in then. Right now it's still so new and shiny. I love it.

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty. At work and school, you do best when you're researching. When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often. In friendship, you are considerate and compromising. Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking. You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

The Birth Order Predictor

Now the question is...did I skew this test to get the correct anwser? The world may never know...

Kind of Creepy...

I decided to be counter-culture today. Counter for SJSU, anyway. I should preface this by stating that I have an intense dislike for flip-flops. It all began way back in San Diego. I thought I had left them in that den of Cali casual, but no. They are everywhere, ruining my wonderful sense of 'Fall'. Not to mention my sensibilities. I understand that flip-flops have their place...Saturday morning run to the grocery store or even, *gasp* at the beach. But I don't want to always be looking at the feet of my fellow students. Which brings me to my little rebellion.

In an effort to act like a college student and run against the grain of society, I wore my big bad-ass paratrooper boots to school today. Oh yeah. Laces over the calf, just under the knee. Rounded point toes. Heavy black leather. Tough, don't-mess-with-me boots. Under a lovely flowing linen peasant skirt that goes just below the knees. And a clingy black top. The perfect combination of "militant" and "feminine".

I was all over it on campus today. Clomping around in a graceful way...skirt flowing boots stomping. I got noticed in the English department. They all knew they were dealing with an anti-flip-flop revolutionary. I was hot.

I only wish the construction crew working right outside my door hadn't been so interested in me when I got home this afternoon.
