Jersey Shore? Really? Ahahaha... ok, so I'll admit liking some reality TV. Like American Idol. Not that I have a way to watch it, but whatever. Seriously, cable's expensive! Who has an extra $90 a month to blow on TV when ya don't even have time to watch it....

So, I can feel a routine already starting up (studio-work-sleep-repeat), and I'm itching to get away from it before it even starts. See, when things get boring, I get all homesick. One call from my co-name today, and I was basically a puddle. Right before work, too, which was totally inconvenient with the mascara streaks freaking out the kids and whatnot... but so worth it. I miss my girls!

But my newest idea for a distraction is basically that I am damned and determined to get a dog! ...Except I'm worried that I'll have a hectic life and no time to take care of it. But I'll make time! But I have a lot of classes and work. But there's always a chance in between classes and work! But that's still extra money to spend on food. But I'll be making money by working a ton! But that's more time gone... And so goes the internal debate. Wish me and my poor future dog luck.

In other news, I am the proud owner of an ice scraper! And no, I don't mean an old hotel key card. It was taking me fooooreeeeveeeer just to get into my car, so I blew the $3 on the plastic thingamajig at Walmart. And considering there's snow coming next week, I'll need it. But I am hoping for my first ever snow day! (Like, no school because of snow. That would be AMAZING.) Only thing is when there's a snow day, parents typically need nannies to stay with kids. So, we'll see.

Tip #6 (I think?) : Friendly faces on the other end of a Skype video make all the difference in the world.
