LSU Wreath

Here are some pictures of the wreath I made. I know the colors don't match up, but I still think it looks good. What do you think?

I would love to make wreath's for other people. If you want one, let me know.

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!

I have been out of school now for a week and two days, and I have another week until school starts back. It was a rough semester. I have finally caught up on all my sleep!! I finished school with 2 A's and a B. Would have had an A in the B class, but I had a root canal before the final. Root canal's are no fun. It was on my very back lower tooth, and it still hurts. The tooth doesn't really hurt, my jaw is what really hurts.

While I've been off, I've been working on stuff for the wedding. We have an appointment with the caterer on Saturday. I picked up my dress last week!! It is even better than when I first tried it on. I also put the deposit down on the flowers. The bad thing is that we are running out of money, and still need to pay for the remainder of the florist, the caterer and a dj, among other small things. Things will work out. Good news, I'm going to send out the save the dates next week!! That will be one thing off my list of many things to do.

These 16 days of summer vacation have not been the best vacation, but at least I got 16 days. I got to do a few fun things, read many of the Janet Evanovich books and am making a LSU wreath. Will post pictures of it when I'm done. About to start reading some of my books for class so that I can be on top of things for the first day.

One More Week

Summer school is almost officially over. I have 3 days of internship, 1 class, 1 final and 1 3 page paper to write. Not much left!! It has been so stressful, but very worth it. I will graduate in 31 weeks!! It seems so far away, but it will be here just like that. I have learned so much about Social Work at my internship. I have also learned that I do not want to work with the elderly. It was more fun than I thought it would be, but not what I want. I can't wait for the break, but I really can't wait to start my next internship. It will be at a place that works with developmentally disabled and mentally ill children. It is more like what I want to eventually do. Well, off to get dressed.

8 Months

We have 8 months until the wedding!! I have no idea what all I need to do because there is so much to do. I wish I had more time to devote to planning, but school has overtaken my life the past two months. During my break from school, I will try to get some more stuff done. Anyone who wants to help, I have something for you to do!!

In other news, I have 2 weeks left of the summer semester. I have 7 assignments left to do. Hope to get at least 3 of those done this week. I will be glad when the summer is over. 30 weeks worth of work done in 10 weeks has been stressful. I can see the light though!!

How Hard

Today was my day off, so after finishing a paper I watched the Michael Jackson memorial. The part that touched me the most was when his daughter said how much she loved him. How hard it must be to mourn in front of the world. I think she somewhat wanted to say something because of everyone elses touching words. I could not imagine doing what she did. I so know what they are going through because my dad died when I was 14. I think I cried so much during this service because it made me miss my daddy. I hope that these children have someone in their life that will help them during this very hard time.

I love you dad and I miss you so much. Soon, we will be together again. (But not too soon!!)

I know, I know

I know that I have not posted anything in a while. I have been so consumed with school lately. I have only 5 weeks left of the summer session, and it is going to be a tough 5 weeks. I have 12 process recordings to do, 1 individual assessment, 1 group assessment, an organizational assessment (maybe) and a organizational intervention. And that is just for my Internship. I also have two more assessments to do, but they are substantially shorter than the individual assessment (2 pages not 10 pages). I also have a research paper to write. I have all of the research done, I just need to get it down on paper. And I wonder why I have been having anxiety attacks. Yes, the past few weeks I have had about 4 attacks. Today, I went to the doctor and got put on some meds, but to use just as needed. So now I'm going back to working on my individual assessment. The good news is that I will have a great 4th. Scott and I are going to Dallas. We have a cram packed weekend. Rangers game, Six Flags and the Water Park. Hopefully I can make some time to meet Tanna, the "BEAST" who started the Challenge. Pray that I can get the bulk of my work done before we leave.
