But I am freaking out. My health keeps declining in very subtle ways. I managed to tear a muscle in my right calf while walking briskly. This is the WORST physical pain I have ever been in. I feel so bad for my sister and Justin who had to hear me screaming my head off while waiting for the Vicodin to kick in ( Read more... )

Still alive. Got to do my first Masters class without any further threats to my sanity. Got to pull a credit hour out of thin air to get my financial aid. Loved the class so much. Very happy that I finally found something that fits me so perfectly. Can't wait for my vacay in a week. Going up to Chicago to visit with friends I haven't seen in ( Read more... )

Overall, had a fantastic time. I really enjoyed myself, but I kept thinking how there was no way I could ever live there with the way prices are, and just how chaotic things are. I LOVED the diversity and hearing so many different languages though ( Read more... )

My precious Zoey died sometime today. I am devastated because it was completly unexpected and happened at a bad time. My great grandmother passed away last Friday (she was 96 so it was expected) and then my dwarf hamster died Tuesday (also expected, she was over 2 years old) Zoey wasn't even 4 years old yet. And I am so sad because I have been so ( Read more... )

Both died not unexpectedly. My great grandma was 96 years old, turning 97 in August. She had really bad dementia, didn't really know who she was for the past 3 years. I don't want to remember her when she was crazy like that. Instead I'll remember going over to her house and her cooking us something, even if my parents insisted that we weren't ( Read more... )

I GOT INTO THE MSW PROGRAM!!!!!!! Got the acceptance letter today.

So freaking happy, excited, and relieved.

Thanks to all who encouraged, believed in me, and helped me through my moments of doubt.

I suppose I should give some sort of a real update.

First, I have been moved yet again at work. I am now at Lilly Corporate Center. I originally was not very enthusiastic about the move, but seeing how happy people were to have me, it was difficult to be cranky for too long. I’m going to miss Melissa, the close parking, and free snacks though. I’ll ( Read more... )

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here ( Read more... )

I'm flipping out. I'm so nervous about this stupid application. I think it has to do with me working 12 days in a row. I'm second guessing everything. Wondering if I can even do the program if I even get in. I flipped otu because I quadruple checked the due date and it said to turn it in way before the priority date. I'm wanting to cry ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying my classes so far, even though they are a lot of work, lots of reading and writing. Topics are very interesting though, thank god ( Read more... )
