New School Year Upon Us

I have decided with the new school starting I am going to try to blog and keep up with my day to day activties. I think if i have another outlet besides spending all my time doing homework things will be a little less stressful for me.

The last weekend before school started we had a good time. Friday I sent my mom home she had been staying with us for two weeks which was nice because I dont know when I will get to see her again with my hectic school schedule. Saturday we didn't want to stay in Pittsburg beucase of move in day. So we took off for joplin after we got up and around. We started off by going to Johnny Carino's which is an amazing Italian resutrant. We then followed lunch with a walk around the mall so we could walk off the million calories that we had just consumed. After visiting most of the stores in the mall I only walked out with two items so I feel that i did really well and my bank account is still happy and has money. After the mall we headed to the ever so good store of Wal-Mart where we bought an awesome entertainment center where we could mount a flat screen tv, which we still had to buy but that came later in the day :) After checking out and getting the entertainment center into the truck we headed over to best buy where we picked out our awesome 42 inch flat screen tv. It is amazing...now... So we got our shopping done so we headed home put the entertainment center together... two hours later... we went to mount the tv and turn it on and found out that that screen was spider across the entire screen and you couldn't see anything. This made me quite sad....

So we went over to Ike & Kali's for a few drinks to enjoy the last weekend of freedom before the semester started. It was a really good time. after a few hours we headed back home with intentions of heading back to Joplin on sunday. So saturday we get around and wait for Kali to get done with a photo shoot and for heather to come over after working on her car and we head back to Joplin. We first stopped at Best Buy to take care of the tv and get it switch for one that was not broken. Then we headed to taco bell! Oh how i miss the taco bell in pittsburg!!! Then something random happened.... at some point a few months back I had been thinking about getting my tongue pierced and this is the day that it happened! Perfect timing to the day before classes started!

Classes today seemed to go really well. I think that i am really going to enjoy my photography class. I really like the way that the teacher is going about it. and my other class is about indesign which wont be to bad once we get past the boring introduction stuff.. but that is my weekend and day so far... my tongue is only a little swollen, but the ibephofen is helping with the swelling and its weird cuz it doesn't hurt at all and people think that i am crazy. Well i need to get off of here and get to my homework the joys of being back into school.

a well rested day

so i think today was a really good day. I finally felt pretty rested... not to mention i tried going to bed at 4pm yesterday then i remembered a paper that was due today so i had to get up and write it but i was back in bed in no time! it was amazing i didn't even cat nap through the show. i did a few hours of interning, twittering, facebooking, then i was off to class. And i really enjoyed class today. We had a guest speaker and i think that he helped stir up alot of thoughts. I am really going to miss my ethics class. Some people think that it would be an awful class, but i really enjoy it! then after class i headed back out to the station and from there i had a meeting to go to in Dugeweg (thats not spelled right, but oh well) which is south of joplin i think that i drove over 100 miles today and i hate to drive uggg.. but that was the only downer for my day. i dont know why but today just seemed like a good day.

Its been a while...

So it has been a while since i have been able to update this... reasons why. 1. I am taking summer courses to ensure my graduation in May 2010. 2. I am intern a min of 26 hours a week. 3. I am still working my 25 hours on the morning show. 4. I try to spend what time I can with my husband and our 4 furry children 5. try to keep out with house (the hubby has really been helping out here) So pretty sure that my life is crazy right now! Summer session one ends in 8 days. Then I get a 3 day weekend and I am right into Summer session two. this session i only have one class plus my internship, but next session i have two classes and my internship along with everything else. So we shall see if i have any hair left by the end of summer. I just keep telling myself that all this hard work now will pay off later when I land and awesome job!

Summer time!

Wow so much has happened since my last blog...

Finals came and went and have to say I did very well expect my meteorology final, that test was a joke and im just glad that i passed the class in the long run. Lets just say that meteorology and I do not mix very well. My other finals were easy and no a problem. I managed to end the year with 3.6 something gpa. Which I'm very happy with. and yes all you people out there that said that I was crazy taking 20/21 hours and that I would not do well, I just proved you wrong. When I put my mind to something I am going to get it accomplished. Something else that makes me really happy is knowing that I only have one year of college left! Woot college in 3 years oh and did i mention that I will be graduating with honors! I only have 2 more honors classes that I have to take in order to meet the requoirments and I'm already enrolled in them! im so excited for next year.

ok enough of the boring stuff....
I just had my 2 year wedding anniversary :) the happiest 2 years of my life. We are actually going out to celebrate tonight since it is hard for me to do anything during the week. I hate my work schedule. Oh that is something else to look forward to next year! no more crappy hours only 12 months left!

last weekend I went back to spring hill and get to catch up with alot of friends from high school it was a blast! im so excited that we still get together when we can even though we are now spreading even further apart :( but our friendship will always be there

bored

So i realized that i left my flash drive at home which means no editing my honors paper until i get home. I really need to get this paper edited and turned in being that it is dead week. lol. :( It is 11 and i dont have class till 1 :( 2 hours with nothing to do. There is no one on facebook, there is no one on myspace and very people people on msn and yahoo i chat with. what am i supposed to do with all my free time. And my book is at home.

Dead Week

So today started dead week, which makes me happy no more big projects assigned just wrapping up everything that has been assigned in the past few weeks. It is so nice to know that finals are next week and then i get a 3 week break before im back at the book with summer classes. I don't think that they will be to bad this summer i know the professor that is teaching all my classes so it should go smoothly. I am just ready for a break. I am glad that this is my last semester of classes that i had to take gen eds. I never have to take another gen ed again and that makes me happy :) I only have comm and git classes left. I just keep thinking to myself that im one day closer to graduating. I keep looking at it that way and the time seems to just go by. But the weird thing is, it seemed just like yesterday that i started college.

So I tried to decide to try mobile blogging and wondering if this was going to work

Life is to Stressful

So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I have been glancing over job posting just to figure out what kind of stuff is out there. the hard of that is i have no idea where we are going to be living. I want to be around my family, but then I feel bad that randy can't be around his. I was thinking that living half way between them would work, but knowing our luck we won't be able to find any jobs there. So when I was looking around I was looking at other states. But then trying to narrow down what states that we would want to live in. So far it is nothing that is cold so probably not any further north then what we are now, no east coast, no west coast, and no where that the cost of living is to high. This next year is going to bring about a lot of stress trying to graduate college and packing and moving to God knows where. Why does life have to be so difficult?

Last Two Weeks....

So the last two weeks have been pretty crazy. Last week was spring break and my mom came to stay with my while randy went off and had fun with his family down in Arkansas. My mom and I spring cleaned my house. Oh what joys. But I didn't nearly get everything done that I had wanted to. I had this whole list of to do's. Well needless to say very few got accomplished. That leads to this week. It has been nuts, to say the least. Monday: this is the day that Gizmo and Tasselhoff got out of the house. We found Tas but there was no sign of Gizmo, so there I was bawling my eyes out becuase Gizmo is my baby and I have no idea what I would do with out him. So everything that I wanted to get done on Monday got pushed back becuase I was worrying about him and I coulnd't bring myself to do anything. Tuesday: We got a phone call and someone had to Gizmo so that just made my day right there. It was a pretty good day but super busy. I was in class from 1230 to 645. I hate tuesdays's they are my long days. I was tired when i got home so I had randy warm up left overs and I went to bed. Wednesday: I was really stressing about everything that I had to get done still. Went to work, directly to school, then after classes I had to meet with my adviosr about my classes for next semester. I think that my advisor thinks that I am completely nuts but that is ok I want to graduate and be done with school!!! after that meeting I had to wait around on campus for a while because I had another meeting at 415. So i didn't get home until almost 6 and I still had to cook dinner do a little bit of homework and I went to bed. Thursday: Another very long day. After work I had to go around to a few businesses and see if they would donate money to the lambda pi eta talent show, well no one was in that I could talk with so that didn't really go over well. I had to go to the store and do homework before I went off to class. So I managed to get that stuff done so I was off to class. Didn't get home until like 330 then I had to work homework. I want to be able to take a break this weekend of being so busy so I was trying to get it done all ahead of time. I pretty much worked on homework all night and went to bed. and I have finally made it to friday: I went to work and then I had a little bit of time so i was able to sneak in a little nap and here I sit. I have to do a mock interview for one of my classes then one more class and I will be done for the day, but most likely come home and work on homework becuase I want to get some of it out of the way for the weekend. I am hoping to be able to get together with some of my friends tonight to get out of the house and have fun. I really think that the teachers are getting back at us for giving us spring break off. GRRRR.

Stress...

Where do I even begin? Things have been really rough lately. Work has been pretty awful lately. Everyone got a pay cut, and then today I find out that they laid some people off yesterday. I have never had to worry before if I will still have a job when I go to work the next morning. It really sucks see friends get laid off. I feel awful for them but I also have to be worried about myself to make sure that I still have a job the next day. Work has not been as fun as it normally has been for a long time. There are mornings that I don't feel like rolling out of bed at 2am to get to work. There have been many times lately that I just lay there and hit the snooze button. I am slowly losing the motivation to get up and go to work. I have a very good work ethic and right now that is the only thing that is making me get up and go to work instead of calling in.

And on top of all the crap that is going on at work. its midterm week. I had on midterm last friday which was hell, I had 2 today and I have one that I have to take online and then I have a midterm on thursday. I know that I am doing it to myself to be taking to many hours and work at the same time but i do badly want to graduate next spring. I am so burnt out on school I just want to get past it and be able to move on with my married life. There are so many more things out there for me to do then be in school my entire life. I so badly want out of school. I am so ready to be done.

I know that I prolly have to much on my plate at this time but my hope is to scrafice things now to make for a better future.

I can't wait for the day when I can actually sleep in bed with my husband at the same time. Not this him coming to bed an hour before I have to crawl out of bed for work.

Today has just been a mix between a good and bad day. Work sucked. Classes were pretty good I got out early of all of them. Even though I had 2 tests they were really easy. When I have days that suck and are really stressful it has a tendecny to make me think a lot. And sometimes about things that I dont really want to think about. Today has just been one of those days.

People

I just don't get them. After being in a certain position for a few months and all your answers are I don't know, I don't remember. I just don't get it. I guess that i am a person who wants to know my job and work hard till i understand it fully. The more people that I have to associate with makes me realize how much differently that I view things. I guess I could say that I am more of a go getter then a "I'm just gonna sit here and hopefully my job gets done for me" kinda person. People really irritate me.

Why do people have to be the way that they are?

I can only play the nice card for so long. The bitch card is slowly rising! and I am not afraid to use it.

Quizzes

So I have come to the understanding that having a quiz every week for a lab class sucks. It doesn't matter how much of the reading that I do or even if I look back over the lab manual I fail the quizzes. What is up with that? I think that this has to be my worst semester with having classes that I have to take quizzes all the time for. and it is REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!!!!!!!

Life Update

So I need a break from school work so I figured that I would come back to Blogger. In high school I used to live on here. Writing is a way for me to express myself and I feel bad because this last year I haven't really been able to keep up with my writings. So now I am taking time away from writing journals for one of my classes to come back to my obsession.

School I kinda killing me this semester. I had this bright idea to take 20 hours including and honors class. I am really trying to graduate in 3 years but it is killing me. My goal is graduate May 2010 and even if it kills me I will meet my goal.

Work is fun. I love my job, hate the hours. I work for one of the local TV stations. KOAM-TV and KFJX-TV. I am the graphics person for the morning show. It is so much fun.

Family life is awesome. I still can't believe that Randy and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary in May. Life couldn't be any better. We still have Gizmo and we have since added to our family Tasselhoff and Luna my kitties. They are my loves <3
