i'm so happy..

really, truely...happy.

mum and rob drove down tonite..we all had pizza for dinner...sat down and watched some tv...and now mum and rob have gone to bed. i know it seems simple and trivial - but tonite i have the three most important people in my life all under the same roof - and it just feels right *smiling*..

i'm supposed to be working on my last 2 assignments this weekend, but i really can't be bothered. well...not so much can't be bothered, but rather i'm finding much better things to do with the grrl..or with mum..or with rob.
tonite, while the grrl was working and mum and rob were engrossed in some james bond flick, i thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do some work. but really, i couldn't get passed how great it was to have them all in the same room...and i didn't want to do anything other than revel in it...i love my family and i love my grrl - but i love it more when i can combine the two..

anyway..

so my uni work..ugh..i'm so over it. i have about 100words left to complete my prespecialisation take home exam..and i'm still yet to start my major assignment that's due in on the 17th *laughs*..i know i should be freaking out right about now because of all the work that's a head of me, but really, i dont care..
it's funny how close i am to registering and how i'm so not taking any of this seriously..

i called the jail yesterday, and everything is finalised for my practicum there. they're going to let me do shift work rather than the usual crappy studen hours of 7am-4pm, 5 days a week. so instead, i will be working 6am-6pm 3 or 4 days a week, depending on the week..so yeah..that means i wont have to drive 3hours home to sam on friday afternoons and back on sunday nights...cuz this way, hopefully, if i work my roster right, i'll have at least two 3-day weekends...so it wont be all that bad..
i did love my last placement at the jail - but i just missed the grrl so damned much...so yeah...

it's weird, cuz this time next week i should know where i'm going to be working next year. over the last few weeks i've been telling myself that i have to get used to the fact that i may not have gotten into forensicare, and that i really need to seriously think about what will need changing in my life for me to work at the jail for a while..afterall, if i do take up a position out at the jail, it'll be 12hour shifts somewhere 3 hours from the grrl.. which translates roughly to "not-very-much-time-together".. during out little road trip down to wilson's prom last week we scratched the surface and kind of discussed what we would do if i were to end up working down there..and while the extra money would be nice, it wouldn't really mean much if we weren't together to spend and enjoy it..
we also came to to the conclusion that we'd worry about what we'd do when and if we actually have to do it..

anyway...i was going to write more but the grrl's gone to bed and i think i want some snuggles..
