WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CONGRATULATIONS, MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!

and just like that, everything starts to come together!

I LOVE YOU!

{{{Mama}}}

Okay, so for those of you keeping track, I have now OFFICIALLY finished my first semester of library school! Whoohoo! One down, three to go! YYYYYYEeeeeehaaaa.

I still don't know my grades (I think it's rather sad that I'll start Summer semester on Tuesday without even knowing my GPA...SJSU still shows me as having a 0.00, because grades aren't even DUE until Tuesday!), but I'm thrilled to have cleansed myself (and my study room) of the remnants of this semester (of course, I'll remember what I need to for future semesters and my career, yes, of course).

It has been a crazy-hectic month, and I missed out on Marie's b-day shindig and will miss the Kishi's picnic on Sunday. My mom went into the hospital on Sunday morning (she passed out cold in Church, and, no, it wasn't a spiritual revolution - Catholics don't do that :Þ). She stayed in the hospital until Tuesday morning and is now, as of Friday, just starting to come around to herself. She has her voice back (this means that her "sick" voice has gotten strong, and she had the energy to get mad at my dad yesterday - that's actually a VERY good sign - lym!).

Still, I can't go more than 30 minutes away, just in case something happens again...it's a tenuous time, healthwise.

And, as I'm so sure many of you are just aching to know, after recent experiences it has FINALLY (breathe a GIANT sigh, folks) occurred to me that I do not HAVE to marry a Catholic. Nor do I HAVE to think about marrying every guy I meet (every date is a possible future mate..blahblahblah). So, I have given myself permission to have some fun and to "widen my net," as someone quite wise told me to do (My mom, yes, the one who was in the hospital, told me to go out on as many dates as possible and widen my net, expand my horizons and have fun...maybe that's why she passed out...).

Okay, so please keep my mom in your prayers as we try to figure out exactly what caused the fainting spell!

So, happy birthday, happy memorial day, happy (almost) summer and happy anything else that I've missed!

Eventually, I hope to find a man who treats me with respect and acknowledges that I am (or could be) an important part of his life.

Please:
Do not brush me aside, thinking that I'll be there whenever you're ready to finally act like you care, because you know what, I won't.

Do not act like you want to be with me but then treat me like a side hobby that you enjoy only when you have nothing else going on in your life.

I am important. I am valuable.

At least have the decency to tell me that you're busy before you brush me aside.

If you don't want me, I don't want you either.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MAMA!!!

I love you ever so much!

I do not know how I would get through each day, school, work, my regular and varied mini-crises and life in general without you!

God blessed me with the perfect mother :)

I love you! I love you!

Love,
Sarah

p.s. Remember, for Mother's Day, I got you an SF Giants win, because I'm just that magical :Þ

Boys

Someone please explain to me why it is that I am:

Not Catholic enough for the Catholic Boys;
Too Catholic for the Fallen-Away Catholics;
Too Religious for the Agnostics;
Not Christian enough for the Christian Boys;
Not good enough for the Jewish Boys;
Not pretty enough for the rich boys;
Not rich enough for the pretty boys;
Too smart for the state school alums;
Not smart enough for the ivy leaguers.

Please, I'm just trying to get a handle on this...

If anyone can explain it to me, I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you :)

Okay, it is FINALLY May.

That means that in 16 fun filled days, I will be DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE with my first semester of library school!! YAAHOOOO!!

Okay, until then, I must bury myself under a pile of books...I'll come up for air soon.
