Love, and other stuff

Someone To Watch Over Me
by George and Ira Gershwin
There's a saying old, says that love is blind.
Still we're often told, see, and ye shall find.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had...in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet.
He's the big affair I cannot forget.
Only man I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initials to my monogram.
Tell me where is the shepherd for this, lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood, I know I could always be good...
to one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
to my heart he carries the key.
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed follow my lead,
oh, how I need someone to watch over me.

Sometimes things just can't be expressed better than how someone has put it in a song. The Gershwins especially speak to me on personal level. So, I don't know if it's just the springtime air or what but I seem to be surrounded lately by people in love, or just starting to date...or good friends finding out that they're finally pregnant (yay for them!). I've learned to be mostly okay with this whole 'have not ever dated' thing, but sometimes...I just want someone to watch over me. That's all.

Umm..wait, didn't I do that already?

This is the question on my mind these days: "Wait, didn't I already do that?" I was talking on IM with a friend last night about various british tv shows that we both enjoy and I was having the hardest time remembering the names of actors and of the actual shows. I think grad school is warping my brain and wiping out my long AND short term memory! So, with that said, I can't remember if I announced on this blog or not that I got my grades for the Spring term--and I received A's in both classes! (yaaaayyyy!!!) So, that's about it. Now I'm preparing for my trip to NYC this weekend, and for the trip I'll be taking in about a month to England (woohoo!). I never really thought I'd be a 'planner', but I find the older I get-the more I like to have a plan. It's bothering me that the profs in my new course haven't posted any-hey-this is where you're going to go things on our blackboard site, but I'm hoping by the end of the week they'll have something up there. I need to know where I'm going!

Sunshine and Happiness

Ahh...peace and tranquility....all of my spring assignments have been turned in...I don't 'officially' start my next class til May 12th....I can actually read a 'fun' book, or go see a 'fun' movie without guilt..these are the best days! Of course, it would be even more relaxing if work had slown down too-but no-it's Commencement this Saturday at Regent and the good times are a rollin'! So, I'm reminding myself, in the midst of all the craziness and saying goodbye to dear friends that are moving on--make sure I take time to stop and smell the roses! Or the daisies!
