Cats&Scales

Yesterday I was a grump. =| I had no real reason to be, as is usually the case, and yet I held on to my grumpiness all day long, even though I insisted I was in a good mood in the same breath as a long monologue of whining and complaining.

My boyfriend motivates me to improve on this… I should want to improve for my family’s sake alone, but it’s different when you choose to be family with someone as opposed to being born into it. =P I really don’t like that he feels like he has to be in a perpetual good mood for me or that he feels like he has to cater to my mood swings. =( I also don’t want him to have a girlfriend who’s depressed or grouchy all the time. =P That’s not fair to him and he definitely doesn’t deserve it.

Also, I notice the difference when I really try to pull out of a bad mood. So I have every reason in the world to make an effort: my family, my best friend, and myself. Oh, and God too, I suppose. XD He’s sort of the reason for every awesome thing in my life [and there are many!] and he deserves a little gratitude for it.

It’s been two weeks since adding this goal and I have only stretched once and that was today. =P Not gonna make any improvements at this rate…

I took the assessment test today… I’ll get the results tomorrow. I feel pretty good about it. If I pass I can take transfer-level classes, which is what I want. =) Once this is done and the results are in I can sign up for new student orientation, and then once I go to orientation I can meet an adviser/counselor and sign up for classes. I’m a little worried cuz classes are filling up already and I can only take night/online classes because of my work schedule, and those are the first to go, of course… =( Ah well. It’ll all work out. I just hope I can get all 12 units this semester, since that’s my ultimate goal is to take 3 or 4 classes to kick off this chapter of my education… I’m planning on taking less classes in future semesters.
