I mean, like....my last post I had just turned 30 and now I'm 30.5.....lol, it's been awhile and I'm really no good at this. Plus I'm like the most boring person you will ever meet and although I'm living in a cool country I don't do much to get out. I will tell you that I have been very focused on school, though so at least I don't just sit around all day doing nothing. :)
Speaking of school, for those of you who do not know me, I am back in school (at the age of 30) studying to get a CJ degree to aid in my forensic art endeavors....anyways....that still seems boring, but I am quite determined and proud of myself. My grade are outstanding and the only thing that taints my pretty perfect GPA these days is my not-so outstanding grades I got when I was 19-20 years old. :)
Anyways....what has happened in the past 6 months other than school? Not much....just school. That is my main focus. Alain came home last month for his R&R and it was great to see him. We are past the halfway mark now and being that the older I get the faster time moves, he should be home in no time. Yay!
It's been kinda hard on me since he left though, I went through a rough time and have been trying to come out of it. I'm sorta back to being my old unsociable self which is actually MORE normal for me that trying to put myself out there. Just me in my own little world again, which usually when I produce me best work....for some reason? I don't know why-but whatever. Have a few things I'm looking forward to. I am REALLY looking forward to seeing Eclipse in July (with Jenn Lebron-lol) I don't know what it is about the Twilight series that gets me so riled up but I think that because it has played a big part in my time here in Italy it has significance to me. The first movie Alain and I saw here at the post theater was Twilight. I remember that night vividly. The Last movie we saw before Alain deployed was New Moon. And now Eclipse, and although Alain won't be here for it, I'm excited to see it with a friend.
The other thing I am looking forward to is in September I am traveling to Denmark to stay with my Mom's cousins. They plan to show me where my Mom was born, my grandparents old apartment and Tivoli which is an amusement park/ gardens that my Mom always described to me growing up. I am very excited to go see where my Mom's side of the family is from. My Dad was generous in contributing some money towards my trip and so it shouldn't cost much. This really is going to be the only trip out of the country I take this deployment and I figured I should make it a meaningful one. It's the one thing on my European Bucketlist that is at the VERY TOP so I'm happy I am doing it. :)
