Almost done

I can not believe how busy I have been with being at school full time with internship and working three part time jobs. It is a wonder that I have time to have fun. Luckly I like my internship and one of my jobs allows to go places and do what I want to do (Three year olds are moble and can be placed in the car to go places).

School keeps me super busy. With three writing intensive courses, I have to stay on top of what I need to do or I fall behind to point of not getting good grades. I like most of my classes, but really drives me insane since I am not really learning anything and do not plan to be that type of educator in the family sciences. My grades are pretty good though I wish that I had more time to work on some of those grades. Oh well.

I am really excited about the last weekend of this month as one of my best friends comes to visit and stay the weekend. We will be going to our high school homecoming, going to a theme park, making home made graduation invitations, and going to church. I do not know what else we might do, but we sure have a lot to do already.

For those who are wondering, the kitten is doing really well. He is almost seven weeks old, and very cute. He loves to play, but gets really rough ( I have the bite and claw marks to prove it) in playing. He likes to eat, and he likes walking into my room at night.

Well I got to go. I need some r and r.

School and new baby kitten

I have been so busy with my school lately. As I am graduating this december, I have so much to do. So far, I have applied for graduation, worked at my internship, go to my classes, and go to club meetings. I am a member of 5 different clubs: NTSO (Non-Traditional Student Organization), American Sign Language Club, Student chapter of the Alumni Association, FCDA (Family and Child Development Association {my major is Family and Child Development}), and FCSA (Family and Consumer Science Association).

As far as my internship goes, it is right near my school and I am almost half through my hours (I have only been there a month). I am really loving being at my internship site, and I am learning so much.

On a family note, two weeks ago on this sunday, my mom found a two week old kitten. He is so adorable. He was supposed to be my brother's cat, but the cat peed on him. Now my mom and I care for him.

Well, I got to go take care of the kitten.

Time Flies

I can not believe that it has been almost a month since I last blogged. I had to readjust to my normal sleep schedule, and I went back to school for the last semester. School is going fine. I am excited to graduating this december. Well I got to go.

Home Sweet Home

I am so glad to be back home in Central Texas. It was a long drive, but I am happy to see my home again. We did not stop at any interesting place on the way home today, but that did not bother me at all. I was ready to be home. The first thing I did as soon as I got in the house was to scoop up my cat and hug him. I fed him, brought my stuff in from the car, and cleaned out the litter for the cats.

Then I ran out to get some of my Tex-Mex food that I had been missing, and visited with my maternal grandma. Now that the trip is over, I can start to take care of things for my last semester in college.

Trip Days 12 and 13

Sorry about not blogging last night. We were stuck in a hotel that had internet access, but you had to pay for an access card. Yesterday we left West Virginia for home in Central Texas. We stopped in Knoxville, TN. It was nice to stop fairly early in the day (around 7 pm eastern time).

Today we left early this morning (6 am Central time). We stopped to see Casey Jones Village and Musuem. It was nice to stop and walk around there. We have stopped for the night in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Tomorrow we will be home in Central Texas.

Trip Day 11

Well this will be my last blog from West Virginia. Tomorrow my family be heading back to Texas. It will take us about 30 hours to drive back home. I will miss my cousins and my aunt and uncle, but it is time to come home and go back to my normal routine. As well as getting ready for school.

Today we went to the national Antiem battle field. It was fun for the first hour and then it got old. We went on a two hour tour that was informative, but it was too hot to concentrate on what the guide was saying. I did get a collector's spoon when I got back to the visitor's center.

Then we went to this underground cave where we got a 30 minute tour which was cool, but really cold. Then I went out with just my cousins to the mall which was fun. I was able to talk with one of them without parents overhearing us so that was awesome.

Well I need to get off so that I can pack up, and spend a little bit of time with my cousins before I leave.

Trip Day 10

Today we went to Hershey, PA. It was totally awesome. I had never been before. We rode the trolley, watched a 3D show, and toured a factory. There was lots of candy that we could buy along with other souvenirs. On the tour, I sat with my cousins and aunt and uncle while the rest of my family was in the car in front of us. It was like the kiddie roller coasters except you did not go fast and there was no tipping of the car. Tomorrow I think I am going to the mall and maybe bowling.

I am very glad that we got to go to Hershey. Getting to learn about the history of the place was another great thing. A lot of the places there do smell like chocolate.
