What happened in my life that makes me so demanding and needy when it comes to other people? I am trained in Psychology, and a counselor on a crisis hotline...why is it so easy to help other people with their lives, but so hard for me to do it myself? I know what I need to do to better myself, I guess the problem is why am I this way in the first ( Read more... )

Your nearly 11 year old nephew calls and tells your dad/his grandpa that he just got back from the dentist and got his cavity drilled with NO novacaine, just like his grandpa! I love this kid :) I also know that I used to do the same thing ( Read more... )

I keep meaning to post in my journal, but I haven't seemed to be able to find any time recently. It's not that working two jobs at UIC, as well as taking 3 graduate school classes, and commuting, doesn't take up all of my time! But then when I do have down time, and I know I should be studying, I find myself sitting in front of the tv, because ( Read more... )

I just cannot believe how stupid, immature and downright selfish this governor is. It is not August 6th, and we have no budget, and Blago is happy about that! He won't give in...he really thinks this state can afford to increase our budget by 6 Billion dollars! And this wednesday is a big day, because it's when people start needing paychecks, ( Read more... )

And I also got TWO different jobs as a graduate ( Read more... )

As of about 3:00pm this afternoon, Father's Day I may add, I no longer have 2 dogs, I only have one. Kramer, my 11 year old doggie, was put down this afternoon, and I don't think I have cried so much in a long time. I am really sad, but still in a state of denial, because when I come home I still expect to see him here with Kasey, and hear him bark ( Read more... )

I really need to update more often...so much has happened recently, but I am too busy and have no internet access usually, so here is the quick version ( Read more... )

I have all this stuff I want to write about: Graduation, Hawaii, MS, graduate school, New York, ear infections, and my internship in Dixon...but since I leave for my internship TOMORROW morning, and I have yet to pack anything, I have no time to write a real entry. Maybe I will in the morning, but if I don't, maybe I can use the hospital's ( Read more... )

From now until May 21st, I will be vacationing in Hawaii, and will not have access to internet. So if anyone wants to get in touch with me until then, call me. Otherwise, I will be busy swimming and having fun, so hah!
