A blur.

Week two of husband's night shift.

I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Even when I'm busy and studying and working and worrying about a million other things, I hate the idea of taking a break from those things alone. I miss being able to just sit with him, doing nothing. I work for the week to be a blur so I can see Kendall clearly on the weekends.

This week was crazy and hard and stressful, and this morning when I woke up next to Kendall I felt it all fade away, like it didn't matter what happened during the week because we'd end up together at the end.

I just need everything to come back into focus.

Today is a new day.

I started out this morning with a pretty positive attitude. I was coming to terms with my favorite summer coming to an end and getting a little excited about getting back into music therapy for the semester. I adore my major, so that part isn't too hard. The hard part for me is the motivation to go to class, study, and care at all about classes that I don't care about. But I was willing to look past that and try my hardest to enjoy my first day of my senior year of college.

Then I realized I didn't have a parking pass and had to be dropped off at my class. I was late to my first class because I had to print off a powerpoint that my teacher didn't end up using. My dad had to pick me up like I was in elementary school because I didn't have a car and my husband was at work. When I got home, I realized my keys were inside the house, so I had to borrow my dad's car, drive to Kendall's work, get the house key, then drive back home. By the time I got home, I had been gone for 13 hours.

And somehow I'm still alive. Even when the world gives me crap to work with, I'm going to try not to let it break me. That's my usual problem with school. I let the world break me. This semester, I have an amazing husband to support me and I'm motivated to do it right.

Take that, world.

Update schmupdate.

For the lack of a better subject, and my energy to generate cute blog-worthy pictures, this is basically going to update you on all the crazy things that have been happening up in hurr (hurr = the Clark residence).

Kendall starts school tomorrow, and I start on Thursday. We just barely got our schedules worked out, but we also just barely were able to apply for financial aid...oops. It's really confusing when you're married, but hopefully all the hassle and extra paperwork will be worth it when we get that sweet cash money that pays for our torturous classes for the next few months.

On top of starting class tomorrow, Kendall also starts a new job...the night shift. Which means no more dinners together or anything. I'm pretty stressed out and sad about it, even though I'm so proud of him for taking responsibility to have a full time job, no matter what it takes. Any advise about how to keep sane during this would be much appreciated.

Also, the family that I work for is moving, and not just down the street. They're moving about 30 minutes away from where we are going to be living. I'm going to try to stay with them and still work with them everyday like I do now, but I don't know if it's going to take a toll on me and if I'll be able to keep up with it. But I also don't know if I could ever leave them. It's the best job I've ever had. I would work with them for the rest of my life if I could.

Oh, did I mention that Kendall and I are moving, too? In the midst of all this craziness, we're moving into my grandma's house because she's moving out and wants us to take it over. It's a beautiful house and way less for us to pay than our apartment, but it honestly came at the worst time ever. School, work, life, ward duties, etc. I'm a little overwhelmed, if you couldn't already tell. On top of that, I've been sick all week. Ha!

I guess I'm just sad that the best summer of my life is coming to an end.

Back to school, back to school.

By the end of the summer, I usually start itching to get back into school. Mostly because I like shopping, any form of shopping, even if it's just for school books and writing utensils. Another thing about being married...it's like you're double shopping. Not only do I get new school stuff for myself, I also get new school stuff for Kendall. 

So this weekend, we're out getting printer cartridges filled and using up our OfficeMax coupons, and I turn to Kendall and I say, "hey, let's get you a laptop!" First of all, if you're in college, a laptop is a necessity. Second of all, sharing is only kind of caring, until you're done caring and you want your laptop all to yourself. 

Anyways, ever since we bought Kendall a laptop (like two days ago), I'm suddenly obsessed with getting a new laptop. Mine is about 4 years old, which is basically a dinosaur in computer years, and I think I deserve an upgrade for my senior year of college. These are a few I've been looking into, basically based on price and cuteness, which probably isn't the best way to decide on a laptop. I'm asking you adorable computer savvy bloggers to help me out with this one.

1. HP

Ooooo, ahhhhh!

So this is the same laptop as Kendall. We like to be a matchy matchy couple, and I seriously fell in love with it as I stared at his smiling face exploring it's undiscovered lands. But, do I really want the exact same one as my husband? In the exact same color? Hm.

2. Sony Vaio

This is probably my favorite of all the ones I've been looking at.. It's adorable, and looks like diamonds. I heard once that diamond laptops are a girl's best friend.

3. And of course, Macbook Pro.

This is a little out of my price range.. but if I sell my other laptop and save up I can definitely do it. I'm a little scared about having to learn how to use a Mac, but everyone tells me they're so much better than windows computers. But it's expensive. And really expensive.

See my dilemma? Input? Go!
