So busy

Well I am certainly glad that I have my degree now. I have been super busy since then. Christmas was great. My parents drove me crazy for almost two months about me getting a job. I am so glad that I now have a job.

I am nanny for a family with two children about thirty minutes away from where I live. Right now I am in a trial period for the family and I hope that I can continue to work with the family.

I am also back in school to get a certificate to interpret sign language.

I will be glad when everything is settled.

1 Month to go

I can not believe that I will be graduating in a month by dates and by weeks it will be 4 weeks on friday. I am glad that I have gotten a couple things out of the way with. Just a few things left to do.
Cultural Diversity- critical analysis paper on religious diversity due November 26th and a final exam on December 11th.
Family Life Education- group project presentation due on November 19th and the paper to the project due November 28th.
Special Education- One final test on December 6th.
Internship- Redo of a weekly reflection and an online discussion due this Friday. Final Report due next Tuesday November 20th.
Please pray for me to get through the next couple of weeks, and that I pass all of my classes.

In other news, the baby kitten is almost 11 weeks old. He is doing great, and we all think that he is mean because he loves to play and bite.

5 weeks 2 days til graduation

I have been so busy with school that it is not even funny. I was done as of halloween with my internship hours which I am very sad about. I really enjoyed being there, and I definitely grew in how I react and what I do. I learned so much about how to run a shelter which gave me an idea of what my parents have gone through to maintain a household while raising kids.

I have several things that are left to do in my classes. In my internship class, I still have one or two online discussions and a final report. In my cultural diversity class, I have group project due on monday, a final exam, and a critical analysis paper. In my survey of exceptionality (special education course), I have two exams left. In the class I hate the most, Family Life Education, I have a test today and one group project.

There is so much due within the next two weeks that I hope that I do not get too stress out at what is going on around me. I got to go work on some of these. Wish me luck.

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.

Exhausted and home
