School life continues

 It seriously seems that all I can think about lately is school. All I do is eat, sleep, and breath school! It's ridiculous. I just recently was accepted into Sam Houston State University again to continue my degree with Victim Studies, only this time I'm extremely passionate about what I am going to be studying. I keep getting a feeling I also need to continue on for my Masters degree.
This coming spring will be the first semester I take what I consider a full load (18 hours) so I'm pretty nervous about that but it is bringing me closer to me BS degree faster.

House hunting 1500 miles away

How in the world do you find a house from 1500 miles away? You can barely even look at a house online before it is gone. I feel like you literally need to be walking street to street as people are putting their houses up for grabs to actually get something. Plus the prices of housing in the area we are looking for is crazy! You cant find a newer home because the stopped building there in the early 2000's and everything else is out dated and expensive. I just need my house to sell and then we would have no problem and would have the perfect home but whos to say that one isn't already gone. I hate being so negative but this is so frustrating! We need a home. I need a place to tell the military to send our stuff. It annoys the crap out of me when people say "We'll keep looking" Like NO! NO! You wont keep looking because you haven't been the one looking in the first place! I have been the only one putting any effort into finding a new home in this place. Grrr. I want to make sure we have a yard at least for my puppy. I hate seeing him every day look out the window like helpless. Every time he sees another dog he whines and wants to play but seriously no one has let him play with their dog. Im just annoyed and feel so horrible for him. I feel like a parent that their kid gets picked on a bullied. I  may sound completely stupid but oh well. He's like my baby and im not scared to say that.

school > my life

Lately all I can think about is school and graduation. At this moment I would think my greater worry would be having a place to live in a few months in a town where rental properties go in a blink of an eye and not only that but cost double the amount they should. It's very crazy to think. I feel as if its my job to find a place for our little family to go because Justin will be busy with training and all. But all I can ever find myself focusing on right now is school. What classes will I take in the summer? What classes will I have left to take in the fall? Will I meet the 25% class requirment without having to take extra classes? Will I graduate in December? What I'll wear to graduation? ( I know completely ridiculous) but thats just how I am. I worry all the time. But I am bound and determined to finish my Associates by December. And surprisingly all along, I could not wait to finish with just a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and start a family... but no. One move has it all changed. I want to continue on and get my Masters in Psychology. At least for this week. I'm just sorta bumbed that there isn't any better schools within a decent driving distance I could receive my other two degrees from. Literally 98% or my BA will be online. How INSANE is that?! ugh. I should not be worrying about this now. Back to planning I go.

Today we have 60 days left until we leave California. As much as i've been looking forward to this i've found myself actually enjoying cali lately. I love being on this side of the mountain and being so close to the beach. My plan is to soak up this cali sun before it's to late. God knows we wont be coming back here just for any reason. I think Justin is getting just as antsy as I am. He is doing really well with his course but we just want to start our new chapter. I can't wait to find our house and be able to start decorating it. Seriously. I am sad because Abby is leaving soon and I just know I finally found a friendship here that I know isn't two sided but I guess I should keep my head up because I know she is going to be in Texas and we can still see each other. Things will get better. Things will keep looking up. Im just glad Justin and I our less stressed and able to communicate better now. Wow. I am all over the place with this post. I'll get better.
