Wanting to be a member of the sleep in club!

:::
Over the past two years I have been in school, I have not had a lot of early morning classes. In fact until last term classes tended to start around 9 or 10, sometimes as late in the day as 5! Before I got my job I would spend my time sleeping in, doing homework and doing stuff around the house. Now that I work 3 days a week I find that I have less time to do other stuff. When I have class after work I tend to get home just exhausted and can't seem to get my act together to get stuff done. I think I can sort it out for when I'm just working, but I find it hard to get myself out of bed every morning! This makes me somewhat nervous for when I have kids, how the heck can I get myself and them ready to face the day?

Where did my get up and go get off to?

:::

It is strange that now as there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel of my schooling, my motivation and creative inspiration has somewhat dried up. Perhaps it is just that being in school 2 years straight has exhausted me? Or that with the chill of Canadian fall I feel like hibernating rather than working? I have approximately 8 weeks left of school and roughly 8 months of work to do in that time. I tend to feel motivated while I'm at work or in class but as soon as I get home all desire to work is squashed. I want to sit on the couch and watch Dexter and go to bed.
Its been a struggle for me to stay on top of things these past few weeks, and I really don't want to let things slide too far or else I will be fighting to get back in the swing of things soon. How do you keep yourself motivated?

If you like it and you want it put a ring on it*

*Title is what G first thought the lyrics to "Single Ladies" were

and on that note.....

I have news! G asked me to marry him last week while we were in Bermuda. G: romantic stuff, down on one knee, ring box(OMG!!!) Me: Frantic "YES" followed by intense tidal wave of tears.

Shortly after followed by us having photoshoot of the ring just about everywhere: drinking beer, in the pool, on the beach, on the scooter. Needless to say it was the most amazing vacation ever. We thought that no one other than our immediate families knew, and that we would have SO many people to tell upon our return. However it turned out that my brother jumped the gun a wee bit posting a congrats on his facebook. As we have MANY many mutual friends, the cat was out of the bag....or the engagement was out of Bermuda or what-have-you. It's funny cause I still sort of feel in shock when I think about it. I wanted this to happen for so long, but I now joke that I just blacked out when he got on his knee. It was more than I could have ever asked for, and being engaged is just really a lovely special time that we are sharing. We are looking at fall 2012 for the wedding, give us some time for me to finish school, and us to both be working and saving a little. Things are just SO different this time--I mostly forget that there was ever another time, this just feels so right.
