Duuuuuuuuude

Last night rocked.

Izzy was unable to make it due to a last-minute family thing, but Kelli and I pretty much carried on for six. Straight. Hours.

It was one of those things where you realize that regardless of all the years and time and changes and whatnot that take place between friends, if you really are friends then nothing truly changes and it feels like home. I know that Kelli and I have both grown both as people and as functional adults, and you’d think that there would be a point where we’d go “Really? You’re like that now?” but no. At the core, it was just like the old days. Kelli is still loud and opinionated and very straight-to-the point, and hilarious as hell. Everything I ever loved about her. And I hope that I wasn’t a complete bore or just a social retard, though honestly, she’d tell me if I was. So I’m thinking I’m A-OK.

We started out the night drinking wine, eating snacks, and catching up on everything under the sun. Her dog loved my leg. A lot. Like, humpy-hump a lot. Though at least he had the decency to not “finish”. By the end of the evening, we were crashed on the sofa, gulping down bottles of water. It was good. I hope we can do this again soon. Being that school and work have turned me into a complete hermit, I need these sorts of activities to keep me sane. Especially since I’ve got a lot of hell ahead of me.

Oh, Did I mention?

Yeah, speaking of school. I’m taking four classes this term. Forest Ecology, Biology of Birds, National Parks Geology and Preservation, and Riparian Watershed Management. All classes I’m super excited about, but I’m already having doubts about the heavy courseload. I could spread it out to another term if I needed to, but I really want to do this. I know I can do it. I just need to try harder than I normally do.

I’m wondering how badly this blog will now suffer at the hands of my education?
