Brain Atrophy

Right now I'm supposed to be doing Husband's English assignments for him (well, technically, since it's 2pm, I'm supposed to be working, but anyway...). He's half-way through getting his degree and somehow talked me into doing... uh, I mean helping with his English class. I guess he thought it would be easy for me, since I was an ENGLISH MAJOR and all.

Really, what are English majors good for other than doing their husband's homework?

A community college English class... how hard can it be? Apparently hard, at least the getting started part. I've read the syllabus, and that's about it.

I was once a brilliantly smart college student with a 4.0 gpa. My mom always said that because I didn't have a job there was no reason to not have a 4.0. Whatever, it meant that I was smart!

But that was 10 years ago. Since then, I got a job. I got dumb. My brain is now something that closely resembles Jake Sully's legs on Avatar. All skinny and pale from lack of use. Slightly disturbing. Completely wasted.

It's going to be a long semester.

This is all just to say please forgive me if I'm around here even less for the next few weeks. However, I'm an excellent procrastinator, so who knows, I may be around even more!

P.S. Thank you for all the great advice regarding the last post. I really really appreciate it all! Right now I'm trying to just not think about everything too much. That's working out okay, except for about once a day when I realize HOLY CRAP! I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!

It's unbelievable and amazing at the same time.
