Counting Months Into Years…

Finally, I’ve come around to having a little time to write.  The past couple of weeks events hindered me from being in the computer long enough to blog on my whereabouts.  Very busy indeed.  I went to my Dentist.  Had a consulation with my Dermatologist.  Had religiously worked out in the gym for a week.  Did the laundry.  Cleaned the house.  Cooked meals.  Attended the activation ceremony of Jeff’s unit.  Went to the unit’s barbeque day.  Those and all the other things I did in between.  After months of consulation with my husband, I finally enrolled for 3 online credit classes in City College of San Francisco.  This time I’m aiming towards an Associates Degree in Computer Science.  I would have had started on this course last year had it not been on CCSF’s regulation on being a California Resident.  The regulation states that a student should be a resident of the State for at least 365 days to be able to take advantage of the $20 per unit tuition fee.  Otherwise, one will be considered an International student and would have to pay over $100 per unit.  I had enrolled for a 3-unit AutoCAD 2007 class last year and was assessed $590.  That amount for 1 subject alone which is insane.  So I dropped it after showing up on the first class meeting and took free non-credit class in MS Access instead.  I can’t wait for my classes to start come first week of August!  There will be no interaction with classmates in a classroom setting but nevertheless I’m going to be a student again.  An online student!!   Cool!  Also, Jeff and I have made new friends with his fellow soldiers and their Filipino wives.  All of them  have very adorable kids which all the more made me want to have one for myself.  Wishes.  Longings.  Dreams.  It isn’t that bad, is it?  I hope so.  After all, dreams and wishes do come true.  No all of it though.  Well one of my wish is that Jeff and I will continue counting our days, weeks, months and years together.  Today marks the 2nd year and 8th month of our marriage.  Just how fast time pass by.  It seemed like we met each other and got married in Hong Kong yesterday.  What surprise can I give him tonight?
