So, I’m sitting here gearing up for tomorrow. I’ll begin my 10 page paper with accompanying presentation hopefully by 12pm. I can’t wait until all this paper writing business is over. I feel I’ve written enough in college. I know, I know…You get a master’s degree because you’re doing advanced work. Still, I don’t care. My real job is to teach those kids. I know I’ll be much better at that when these education professors go away and let me focus on the students. Oh well. Six more months of this and then I’ll be done (for awhile, anyway).

On a happy note, the Thanksgiving holiday went over very well. The food was great; the company was better!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving break!!

I’m ready for Thanksgiving break. I can’t wait to eat, drink, sleep, and be merry. This semester has went well professionally, but as a student, it has been a little rocky. It’s almost over. I’ll emerge on the other side that much closer to my Master’s. For lack of any other way to put it: Yeeeehaw!

By the way, Becca and I had a great weekend! I laughed so much my ribs hurt. Seeing her for 5 days is another reason to long for Thanksgiving break! I’m so happy, I could pee, but I won’t because I’m potty trained and it’s a bit nasty on carpet.

Anyone and everyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I stress over my schoolwork. Even though I’m a graduate student who is nearly done, I still have the same fear of failure I had as an ignorant freshman about 6 years ago.

This weekend, I was stessing so bad. Becca stepped in and gave me one more reason to marry her. She greeted my stress with soothing tones and waved it off with one brush of her hand across my face. After her loving touch, I once again realized that life’s not so bad and that everything will be ok. I’ll never have to stress alone again. I’ve found the one who can calm the rage of nerves inside of me. I don’t think it’s possible to love her anymore, but I know now that I can always love her calmly.

So, today I decided that jerrytravis.com is going to get a name change. As of 7:12pm on November 10, 2005, jerrytravis.com will become beccakimdotcomcuzjerrytravisnolongerpoststhingsonhereandhisfriendsareprobablygettingtiredofreadingmystupidrandomness.com. And, as a side-note, and because I’m really excited about it and am counting down the hours, I now have less than 13 hours before I head home to see my sweety!!!
