Castiel Is Dead

My adorable, perfect nephew is one week old today. To celebrate, I got my very first flu shot. I've never cared in the past whether or not I get sick. There's just no way in heck I'm going to get anyone's cute, cute, cute baby sick.

The other 'exciting' news for today is that I'm nearly finished with one of my classes for the semester. I just have two more assignments to finish and turn in for Edu 214 and I'm done. I'll be only slightly ahead of the end of the semester, but at least I can still say I finished a class early.

I should probably mention: starting November 1, for the first time I will be helping to shape the young minds of America. I'll be helping to teach a unit on greenness for a high school environmental science class. I am nervous and excite all at the same time. And in foreshadowing to how I'll probably be as a teacher, instead of working on my presentation last night, I was playing Plants vs Zombies. Yeah... I'm gonna be awesome.

Today, one of my friends is being induced since she's over her due date. I'm looking forward to meeting her daughter, but all the waiting that's led up to it has been interminable. And I get to do this a few more times. My youngest sister is pregnant and due in about three months. My bestest friend since forever is due in December. I'm surrounded by babies.

This really only serves to point out that it looks like I may not have children. It's not because I don't want children. I just want to be at a point in my life where I like who I am and I like what I'm doing before I brought a child into it. It wouldn't be fair to me or the munchkin. I figure until then, I can just be the best auntie/godmother ever.

ETA: BABY HAS ARRIVED!!!
