I'm taking the GRE in 2 weeks- have I begun to study? No. What am I doing tonight- attempting to study. Aka- watching the "Count of Monte Cristo" and blogging. Every time I see this movie it reminds me of the first time I saw it in London at Erin's host family's house. I didn't have my full attention on the movie because I was making a 'count down to my return' advent calendar for Adam, so every time I see it, it's like the first time all over again. Ahh...
I am applying to grad school for the fall, so that's not stressful at all. A few applications, some recommendations and a couple of writing samples... it practically takes care of itself.
I sent away for an application to run the Grandma's half marathon in Duluth, MN- it's a lottery application, so it will be awhile before I know if I got in, but I've begun training for it. I have until June to train- hopefully enough time to allow myself to add 10 miles to the longest distance I have ever run.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been hearing/reading random facts about co-habitation. Marie Claire had an article this month on whether or not it was a good idea. They had a series of "success" and "failure" stories. That's what every co-habitating girl wants to read... The stories didn't scare me really, but it's interesting to see why other people called it quits or why they had problems. And of course its interesting why people moved in together in the first place and how long they lived together pre-marriage. Adam and I moved in together because we both had been living at our parent's houses and knew it would be silly to each get our own apartments because one of us would be wasting rent, so we took the plunge. I usually don't spend time thinking about why we moved in together in the first place, it seems like such a moot point- I would prefer to think about the future than the past.
Ahh, the future. What will become of that- time will only tell. I don't like pretending that I don't care about marriage or that I'm completely content on my current living situation (hence my last post). But I also don't want to be the person who tells everyone that "it's going to happen on ___ day". Let's just call it a rock and a hard place. And yes, the appropriate party is aware of my feelings on the situation, but it's nice to vent about it to an unbiased 3rd party. Thank you.
Last co-habitating fact I keep hearing again and again: Women gain weight and men get healthier when they move in together. Or some say that girls "let themselves go" when they "catch a man." However you want to say it, the girl picks up on guy's bad behavior and may gain a few pounds. I have realized that I can not eat like Adam and he now eats vegetables.
Adam and I went to a 'Winter Formal' the other week, check out the pictures...
