Week Five

It's been a busy week! I had training for FAFSA February and my first Spanish test. I hate first tests of the semester. Especially with a professor I'm not familiar with. I feel like I've put a lot of time into Spanish and I just don't comprehend it very well. I got a B+ last semester in 2010. I would think I'd understand my professor more. Well lets rephrase this predicament  I understand about 85% of what she's saying but I have a hard time recalling the verbs and tenses I need to respond to her.
 I just want to pass and have a better knowledge of the language. I don't think I'm even close to being fluent. This semester really is moving fast. I can't believe that march is just a few weeks away. My capstone reading is just around the corner, then my senior portfolio and graduation.

Week Four

Wow week four! It's been a busy week at that. The weather has been cold a snowy. We had two storms at the beginning of the week dumping quite a bit of snow. Tuesday I worked in the studio with Megan so we could get our assignment done for photo. It is much easier to work in the studio when its just two people instead of 10. We didn't meet for Metaphor Wednesday because the different staffs are getting together with the editors to look through submissions and pick the ones to be published in this year's journal.
  My other classes have kept me fairly busy as well. Spanish 2020 is lots more work then the other semesters. I feel like we have lots more assignments. In my previous Spanish classes we had online homework and occasionally a essay to turn in.  This class has lots more little assignments plus the online ones as well. I feel like I'm studying the language so much more since the professor speaks nothing but Spanish in class. I understand most of it. It just takes me longer to comprehend sometimes. I'm glad I have my friend Jenn to study with. Journal and Notebooks is going well too. I love that I'm writing so frequently for that class. It has made me realize just how much I truly love writing. My good news for the week is that I got a part time job for February helping incoming students fill out their FAFSA for the new school year. It'll be nice to get a little extra cash. Tell next time.... hasta luego!

Career Fair

With graduation just around the corner I knew going to the Career Fair was a must. (Even when one still feels yucky from a cold) So last night I vamped up my resume and got myself prepared to find some good prospects for after I graduate. It really is coming soon!

Cold Season

I went into the clinic yesterday before meeting my classmate Megan in the studio because my ears have been bugging me. No ear infection just the beginnings of a cold. By Tuesday afternoon I had a fever and quite the headache. The doc on campus told me to take Tylenol to help with my ear pain. Because of me being on Zoloft and Triamterene I'm not allowed to take Ibuprofen. So I took it up a notch and got cold strength. As most college students know you can't afford to miss classes. So I'd just dose myself up and go to class. Too much to do this week to miss classes due to a cold! Hopefully it goes away soon!

Week Three

Iced over streets after our ice storm!

This week has been crazy! Monday was MLK day so I spent it with Sissy and the kiddos. Tuesday I worked on homework and took a spin class with Paigy. Wednesday was just long. I was suppose to meet for an interview on graduation but they rescheduled on me when I was halfway to campus. I had to meet with my non-fiction staff so I had less then a day to read all the submissions. I brought my camera to work on assignments in the lab only to find out it was a demo day. By the time I walked into my meeting with my staff I was feeling a bit frazzled and frustrated.
We were able to finish our meeting at 5:40 pm and Josh and I walked slowly home from the icy campus. We truly could of ice skated on the sidewalks! It was nice to sit down and relax after my long day. My roomies both have a night class on Wednesdays so I came home to an empty apartment. Paigy and I have been trying to go to the gym five days a week but it can be difficult when its nasty out and bitter cold.
Thursday I spent the day working on my portfolio pieces. We had freezing rain which turned the roads into sold ice. Going to school this morning was a doozy.

It was nice to spend time with Sissy and the kiddos this week! I love getting snuggles from all of them. It's always hard to leave especially knowing how crazy their little lives have been. It makes me so happy to open my phone to these adorable pictures!
