This time last week I found myself spiraling into a very black place. After a breakdown and a talk with Justin I was feeling a bit better, but it wasn't until I spoke with Dr. Z on Wednesday that I started to pick myself up again. Once I was able to reconcile the information I'd gotten from them with the thoughts that had me falling into oblivion I ( Read more... )

Every Masters program I find that seriously sparks my interest is located in another country! The two that make me drool are in France (Masters in International Studies with French submersion track) and Costa Rica (Masters in Human Rights and International Law at the UN Peace University). I have a husband! While he is willing to move anywhere for ( Read more... )

I worked in the morning and spent my afternoon in an airport and on a plan, but that didn't stop me from having the best VDay ever. My husband actually met me at the airport dressed up, carry roses and an "Amy" sign. It was awesome. When we got home he had a recipe and all the ingredients for one of the best homemade meals I have ever had. He even ( Read more... )

Last night me and a couple of my girls donned our pajamas, grabbed a bunch of goodies and blankets, and headed to the drive-in to see Twilight in theatre one last time. We had all seen it multiple times before, so it made it even more fun because we were able to comment and giggle and laugh and ooh and ahh through the movie without ruining for any ( Read more... )

Funny how the fitting of a skirt, a tuna sandwich, reading a book from my favorite series and an impending "girls night" full of junk food can make me so happy. I had a shitteous week, but today it's like it never happened. Today has been a great day ( Read more... )

I am the proud owner of a very flattering PENCIL SKIRT. Everyone got that? P.E.N.C.I.L. S.K.I.R.T!!! Go me!

I'm exhausted. This week has been entirely too long and frustrating. To make it so much better, I've been hit with a bout of insomnia. I got *maybe* four hours of sleep last night. I don't think I've gotten more than six hours of sleep in a night all week. My brain just wont shut off. I tried to sleep another half hour this morning, but as soon as ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with this homework business, and I must admit, it's been a bit of a struggle. I've grown to like love my time. I didn't even realize it, but Justin and I have gotten into quite a comfortable routine; I just kicked the hell out of it. I'm sure once I get the hang of it this wont seem so overwhelming. I ( Read more... )

My brain is working. It's there; it's charged and it knows what the hell it's doing! It didn't die after all. I thought for sure it was slowly evaporating into dust. I was wrong. OH, how I'm glad that I was wrong! I was not confident that I could hang in a Master's class. I was sure I would drowned and not be able to contribute an intelligent ( Read more... )
