I love you so much!!!!

I’m posting on here because I got informed last night that I needed to post more often…We won’t name any names or anything, Travis! So, here goes: I’m (supposed to be) busy writing a paper that is due on Thursday, but as you see I’ve found more important things to do. Tomorrow marks the last day of my Monday-Wednesday class, which signifies that the end is drawing near. Next week will be a stressful one for me, with 4 finals and having to do room-checks when a resident checks out for the break. That’s not exactly hard work, but it is another source of distraction, like I can’t find enough on my own! On the plus side of that busy week is that at the end of it, I get to come home for almost a month. Being a RA means I have to stay here one day longer than normal, and come back 4 days earlier, but overall I don’t think that is going to kill me either. I know that coming back to UK in January is going to be hard for me, as I know how hard it was to leave Trav in the summer. He says I’ll be fine because I survived this semester, I say it will be worse because I know what I have to look forward to. But, soon after next semester is over, Trav and I will be married and I’ll never have to worry about that again! I should get back to my paper now. I’ll post again soon, or whenever a certain webmaster decides it’s been too long since I did!

Trav and I have both had a very busy week! With him having a huge research paper due Thursday, and me having a blue million various papers due, this week has pretty much sucked! But the weekend is (slowly) making it’s way here and I can’t wait to see Trav. I feel like he will be a lot more relaxed than I’ve seen him in a while. And I can’t wait to spend the weekend with him. I just wish that whole working thing didn’t have to get in the way this weekend…Oh Well!

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!!!

Trav came to visit me this weekend at UK. Nothing unusual about that. Happens every time I’m on staff, right? Well, this weekend we had both geared ourselves up to spend the weekend apart as I studied for a test and Trav wrote a paper. Much to my surprise and delite, Trav decided that he’d come see me Saturday evening. Every second I spend with Trav is unforgettable, but something about the unexpectedness of his visit made this visit the best yet. Sure, it was short because he came yesterday evening and had to leave today. Sure, it was, to say the least, weird, because he stayed in my room to write his paper and we were so close, yet so far away from each other while I was working. Sure, it was too hot to cuddle, but isn’t it always? I live in Jewell Hall. But with all of these things considered, I wouldn’t change this weekend for anything in the world.

I’m coming home today and I can not wait. After days of agonizing (Did I spell that right? Who knows?) over whether or not to skip, I have talked myself into attending my economics class tomorrow. The main reason for doing so is so that on Nov. 11 (2 weeks from now) I won’t feel so bad when I miss econ to spend the entire day with my baby!!! This week has been a whole lot less stressful, with midterms being over and all. My next task is to write an essay for my social work application, due Tuesday!
