Life or Something Like It

It's raining. Again! But today there is a poetry to the drops. I wanna go dance in the rain.

But first I'm going to go through an update.

First, I made a life altering decision Sunday. I truely and almost officially changed my major. I no longer will repeat the standard answer I've been using for that pesky question "What are you studying? What's your major? What do you want to be when you growup?" The standard answer was I want Linda Cohen or Stacy Dales job. Yes these jobs would be frickin awesome, but I don't see it bringing me true happiness. So what am I going to study? What's my new major? What do I want to be when I grow up? I want to be a teacher. More specifically a middle school history teacher. But aren't history teachers also coaches? Yeah in smaller schools where teachers and coaches have to do double duty. But in middle school a coach, or assistant, doesn't nessecarily have to be accredited. Yes it's nice, but remember those who can't do, teach/coach. But it's not about can or can't. If you read the previous post you know that I know I can do anything I want to. It's about stacking the odds in my favor for that thing called happiness. Thus, I have been ecstatic for the last two days. I am actually excited about starting classes mostly because switching my schedule and changing majors and all, has my new schedule jam packed with nothing but history classes. Well the 2 basic courses I lacked and history. I'm taking a Modern Europe class. How ironic huh? Seeing how I've been "studying" modern europe all summer.
Well since I made this decision I've been in a muh better mood. Vern and I have had a couple really great nights. Ray, Cole, I have pictures that will make you fall out of your seat in disbelief. It has been all laughs and story telling and That 70's Show. And some drinks. But of course.
Yesterday we went and saw her parents for a bit. We talked about my flight and upcoming trips, and the like. We were disappointed. On our upcoming trip to the Baltic Sea and Norway the dates changed. Previously we were pushing it coming back from Norway less than 24 hours from the time my flight leaves. Well the dates were pushed back one day. Meaning if we were to go then we would get back to Katowice one hour before my flight leaves from Warsaw which is 3 hours away. So the trip to Norway is off. Or so we thought. We woke up this morning and found out that the flyer that said the dates changed was typoed(sp) and that we're going to Norway again. So we leave in 9 days.
I've had to buy another suitcase just for the souvineers(sp) I'm bringing home. It's a lot of presents.

My count down is now only 9 days. I don't want to count down while I'm touring fjords in Norway besides as soon as we get back we're turning around for Warsaw to catch the plane.

Muah
