First week of Classes

My first week back at St. Kate's is almost over. Not quite I guess, since it's still only Thursday and I haven't even had my night class yet, but it feels like it's almost over, which is kindof nice, even though this weekend is going to be pretty full and busy. Eric and I are going to Gina and Josh's new apartment on Friday (right Gina?) and then to a concert of a band of my friend's that I met in Ukraine, hopefully it will be good since I haven't actually heard their music yet. Saturday I'm just going to hang out with Eric the whole day which will be fun and nice, and then on Sunday we might go home to show pictures of Ukraine to my parents as well as getting my prescription. I'm also going to be pretty busy the next couple of weeks trying to fit everybody into my schedule. Between classes, Eric, and my multitude of friends (slight exaggeration on the last one) I'm pretty busy a lot. It's hard sometimes to fit everybody into my schedule, and this week I've felt quite neglectful of some of my friends since I've been spending so much time catching up with Eric and such. The next couple of weeks I really want to make sure I spend some quality time with my roommates, some other friends from school who I sadly no longer have classes with since we're completely different majors, and of course my wonderful new friends from my trip to Ukraine! It's really hard though to get everybody's schedules to match up so that we can all spend time together. It's really sad, because I want to make sure I maintain the friendships that are most important to me, and it's really hard to see people a lot of the time. Plus I am engaged, which means I eventually have to start planning a wedding, and for some odd reason I already feel a lot of pressure to get started...possibly it's my very eager yet extremely helpful older sister who is very excited to help me do all of what needs to be done. I'm just not quite ready to start planning a lot of it. I have a somewhat difficult semester and I know that since I have a lot of time to plan the wedding, I can take it easy for a little while and just do a bit at a time. Although the dress shopping idea is probably a good one, because the dress is one of the most important things to do-everything else is supposed to compliment that and yada yada, plus that's my biggest individual expense so once it's taken care of I can focus on other things. I just don't really feel like I need to do a lot of planning right now since I have so much time. I don't want it to be something I get stressed out about at all. So, this wasn't quite about my first week of classes, but I don't care. It evolved into wedding stuff. Mostly because of the comments I got on my previous post. To which I want to re-emphasize: I'm not forgetting that I'm getting married until summer, I'm just not worrying about planning until summer. And even then I probably won't really worry too much, I'll just have fun doing it!
