My impressions of my Winter '09 classes

I really think that I will hate this quarter. Not because I'm taking a bunch of classes, but because they're all late afternoon (1) & evening (3) classes! I feel like I'm living on campus again this quarter, even with having Fridays off. I'm also frustrated because the bookstore didn't have 2 of the textbooks I needed for my classes, so I had to order them online and then wait for them to come in. We'll just see if their '2-day shipping' really only takes that long.

My classes really aren't that bad this quarter, & a few seem to be slightly related, which should help me, but the class periods are just so LONG & all I can think about during the class is driving home & chilling in front of my lappy. That doesn't make me feel hopeful about my grades for this quarter...

***********************************************************

This is totally unrelated (kinda) but I was noticing that a ton of people in my classes this quarter are now engaged and planning a wedding. We had to write an entry in a discussion forum for my one class that was an introduction of ourselves & out of the probably 8 people that have posted already, like 3-4 of them were talking about being engaged/planning their weddings.

I'm slightly depressed by this because I'm sorta feeling like that day will never come for me. I'm not really sure what's bringing these feelings on, but it feels like my life will never head in that direction & that upsets me. Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm sure that I know that it WILL happen, but right now it just doesn't feel that way.

I've been dreaming about getting married & starting a family since I was at least 12, maybe even before then, and it really saddens & depresses me to think that that part of my life will never exist. I don't know where these feelings are coming from. It's very possible that it is a result of the current weather conditions in our area...that's enough to be at least slightly depressed about!
