These past few weeks have been, well, interesting to say the least. There has been so much going on, I feel like I'm drowning.
I guess the first major thing is just disappointment. I have this in a few areas of my life right now, but I guess the biggest one is family. As you know (if you read my last post) my cousin was in the hospital. Turns out she is ok, and she got to go home yesterday. The only thing was I had to take her home, which happens to be an hour and a half from Lexington. Since I'm the only family member in Lexington, everyone expected me to be the one to visit her everyday and check on her and report back. Usually I wouldn't mind, but like everyone else I have things I have to do as well, like that little thing called being a grad student. I don't want to sound like I was inconvenienced by having to take care of her. It's not that at all. I just wish I would have had more help. And not my mom is lying to me about her childish games. It's all just so frustrating. I mean, who can you trust if you can't trust your own mother??
Another disappointment is with some of my classmates. There has been a lot of drama in our group. Basically, we are all separated out into different "cliques" and it really sucks. I hear what some people are saying about other people, and I can't help but wonder what is being said about me behind my back. I'm so sick of it all. We are in grad school people. Is the middle school drama really necessary?? I don't think so. The good news is that I'm getting to know other people (the ones who DON'T talk about other people) better. I think this is a really good move for me.
To add on to everything, I just don't feel safe where Matthew and I are living right now. Our landlord installed security cameras in the parking lot, which should technically make me feel better, but the fact that there is a reason for them freaks me out. Cars have been getting broken into a lot lately, including multiple attempts into Matthew's truck. His alarm has gone off a few times. There are also some scrapes on his tires like someone tried to slash them. And yesterday he noticed where someone tried to put something inside his door to hit the unlock button. There are scrapes in the pain on his door, and the lining around top part of the window is pushed down as if they had something pushed in there as leverage to hold the gap open. His console on his door where the buttons are was pushed up and cracked. I think they were after his stereo, so thankfully we figured out how to get the faceplate off. Hopefully that will help prevent future attempts. There was also an armed robbery on campus a few days ago. I'm just SOOO ready to get out of Lexington. We are looking at Versailles and Nicholasville right now as possible future homes.
So anyway, this is what my world has been like for the last week or so. Right now Matthew is making a late-night run to Meijer to pick up some groceries. I got a starter for Amish cinnamon bread over Easter, and I thought we had everything to make it so I sent out an email to my classmates asking who all wanted a starter. So now I have at least two people expecting a starter and I didn't have the stuff for it. Bless his heart he is so good to me. He went to Kroger first, but they closed early for inventory. Go figure. At least he will get some yummy bread out of the deal!
Ugh. Here's hoping next week is better!!!!

Yes. He bought me Edward!!!!!! How awesome is that! I feel like one of those creepy stalkerish fangirls, but I don't really care. It was pretty cool of Matthew to do this :) So What do you think?
