The king has returned

Kyle and I got back to Lubbock with Logan in tow on Monday. I’ve been in a frenzy because I’m so behind on school already for a variety of reasons. I missed the first session of each of my classes on account of deciding to stay in Topeka to judge the debate tournament. That decision was the most logical and economically advantageous, but it was still a stress on the start of my semester.

All laid out, my semester is going to be lots of work. I’m reading about 10-15 articles a week, plus a book a week until spring break. I think spring break is really going to be the downward slope, but I’m not quite sure. There is so much to read and respond to and turn in, but I think this semester will be far more intellectually stimulating than the last. Hooray for that!

I also have my first freelance invitation work, I think. I’m going to start doing a draft for that soon. I’m so excited to be designing again and to work out that part of my brain too. I would really like to start doing more work in the same vein if possible.

Kyle is at Denver’s debate tournament this weekend. I miss him terribly. Sometimes, it’s strange, how much I miss him when he’s away like this. We’ve been together for a long time and virtually inseparable since winter break started but I really don’t appreciate the break from him at all. I just keep thinking about how much I miss him, and how delicious the dinner I made myself was, and I wish he was here to share it with me because I think he would really like it. He calls me and sends me texts more when he’s away too, and he called me last night after I fell asleep and then texted me to say how much he missed me. I’ll be so happy when he’s back.
