Oh goodness, I feel like I've been picked up and swept away by some crazy force. With the exception of a few hours on Monday and Tuesday, I feel like I've pretty much been moving along at the whims of other people for the past two weeks. Most of it was good/fun stuff, but I am anxious for my life to feel like my own again.
I am still adjusting to school, but enjoying my classes immensely. I got my first paper back last night and I got an "A," which was a relief since I'm a bit rusty on the paper writing.
It's been birthday-palooza around these parts lately. Oct. 2, CG and I had a joint birthday party. It turned out to be a bit more wild than I'd anticipated, but I had a great time. I had never thrown a house party like that and it turned out well.
Tuesday was my actual birthday and I hit the big 2-9. I am trying to embrace this last year of my 20's and not worry about things like getting old and all that. Despite some bumps and bruises, life seems to keep getting better each year, and I plan on continuing that trend.
CG was very sweet on Tuesday. He took me to dinner at my favorite vegetarian restaurant, and then we had pumpkin pie blizzards for dessert. His present to me was a suitcase, which he filled with sheets (I had almost bought myself some over the weekend), pens for school, and a gift certificate for Amtrak. We are going to take the train to San Francisco after I get done with this quarter, hang around for a few days and maybe visit my high school best friend, and then fly back. I am so excited because it's been about 3.5 years since I took a real trip vacation, on a plane and everything!
The weekend was super busy because CG was dog-sitting and we had that wedding. We were together from noon until around 10-11pm running around doing things on both Saturday and Sunday, but CG had to be with the dogs overnight. Even though we had spent gobs of time together, I found myself really missing being close to him. Luckily I got to sleep over on my birthday and it felt extra nice because I had missed it so much. I normally don't like to cuddle while sleeping, but I did that night. It is kind of amazing how in the beginning I was so resistant to the sleepovers, and now if he doesn't stay at least once a week I definitely notice his absence.
CG's birthday is today and I'm looking forward to dinner with his family and surprising him with his presents!
