I am back in Big Lake now living with the parents. Just finished graduate school and have that fancy MSW now!! I decided to delay the growing up bit for a bit, work some temp jobs and go to England to work temp jobs and hopefully find social work jobs in England too. Kind of scares me to be honest. However, lucky there will always be the poor, sick ( Read more... )

Went to England with Dirt/Mandy this past winter break. We left right after spending Christmas with my family. All in all it was lovely. I got to see my whole family and watch in awe as my niece and nephew (actually his parents) opened up loads of gifts. In England we stopped in London for a night and saw the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, ( Read more... )

Wow it has been awhile. I am not good at updating this. Summer was a bit (a lot) disappointing. Issues with the camp director made things difficult. She was just very demeaning to staff and scared some campers with it...not good. I hope the council takes the complaints made about her seriously. Anyway, finished my firs week of school. Next week i ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend I got to go home and visit my family in MN! YAY! Both of my sisters were around as well as my parents and my niece. We celebrated my 23rd Birthday tonight with some yummy german chocolate cake. Mmmm... For my actual birthday, my classmates surprised me with a cake and some small gifts and a card. It was so nice and I was so ( Read more... )

The maintenance staff just came over to look at the lock on the door and the stove...both easily fixed or just damaged because of the cold. However, of course since my class was cancelled I had a late shower and that is when they came. I think I totally weirded out the one guy by coming out with my robe on. Poor maintenance staff.

I am in Madison, WI right now visiting my sister, brother in law and niece for the long MLK holiday weekend. Christmas was good. I moved into my new apartment with help from my dad and some helpful others. The weekend I came with my dad there was a horrible ice storm the whole way down. But the Famous Daves afterwards made it worth it. I also saw ( Read more... )

So since I last updated I have been adjusting a bit more to grad school. It still kicks my ass in many ways, but I have noticed it is kicking everyone else's too. I have an 18 page paper to finish for Micro HBSE. I know that does not sound too long, but I do not know how to write and it is on a POINTLESS USELESS book. So taht makes it hard. Some ( Read more... )

I am homesick and I don't want to be in Iowa anymore. I will probably flunk out of grad school. That is about it. Yup.
