Week Eight

I cannot believe how fast this semester is racing by. Next week is spring break and then I'm literally just a little less then two months from having my bachelors! Where did all that time go? I'm excited for spring break since I didn't get a weekend last week because of FAFSA February or this weekend because of a seminar in Logan at USU for Photography. It's been a hectic week. All our professors want us to get stuff turned in before the break or are handing stuff out to do during the break. (blah!)
  My senior portfolio is coming along quite nicely. It's got a great body of work and I'm going to be working on the research and evaluation part during the break. Part of my portfolio is to do a public reading. So I've been trying to prepare for that as well.

Week Seven

parking lot on campus

Wow I can't believe we're in week seven! It was a long week. I've been working on my pieces for my senior portfolio. My selections of work to show my various abilities to write in numerous forms. Now I just got to finish the other requirements and my capstone reading.  All my classes have kept me busy this week and today I did my eight hours helping with FAFSA February. The picture above is what it looked like at noon.
  Even with the snow storm we got a nice group of people. I was able to clock out around 3:45 and head home for me time. We got about 8 inches and our drive way really needed to be shoveled. Paige and I are the ones who usually get stuck with it. (that's what happens when you have a roomie who thinks she's above it all) I didn't want it to get packed down and turn to ice. So I changed into something warm and started shoveling. Besides I needed to clear my mind after 8 hours of helping people fill out their financial aid for school.

My new friend Tiny

As I was shoveling I saw this little cutie running around and grabbed her before she headed to a busy Harrison Blvd. Paigy called and got a hold of her family. She was very friendly and reminded me of my Mom's dog Tawny. After a while Paigy and I got a hunkering for some ice cream and got shakes from Warren's. It really is funny how much we crave ice cream when its freezing outside!

 Happy ten months Charlotte! I can't believe how fast you're growing. I love visiting with you when I come to  SLC every few weeks. I love how you hold on to me when I hold you, or reach for me when momma holds you! You're such a happy baby and so chill. (which is a blessing for sissy) I can't wait to see how much you change in the next few months. Auntie loves you baby bee!

When I text Rachie and Sterky to let them know I'd be down for a long weekend we agreed on a fhe on Monday. Where to go though? Rachie mentioned the Cocoa Bean. Who doesn't want a yummy chocolate drink and a tasty cuppy cake? Besides I go to catch up with some of my favorite people! Thanks Gals and Davy. ;)

Woods Cross Family

I love my Woods Cross family! I don't get to see them enough either. We've been trying to get together since  October but something has always come up. So when Susan called and asked about this weekend I was thrilled. I packed up my stuff and had Paigy drop me off at the front-runner.

Susan, Sarah and Miloh came and picked me up. (Miloh is their adorable little Yorkie terrier) Jenny was working at the pool (she's a lifeguard as well as on her high school swim team) So we changed into our swimsuits and headed to South Davis Rec Center to swim in their indoor pool. Jenny came and found Sarah and I in the pool talking and joined us. I cannot believe how grown up they're getting! Sarah is twelve in a half almost thirteen and is taller then Jenny. (I can't believe Jenny will be sixteen in April) It was fun to spend time with the girls. I hope to see them again soon!

Week Six

Wow this week has been hectic! I've been working on my capstone senior portfolio. Getting everything perfect and ready to turn in to the head of the English department in a few weeks. We started editing our selections for publications in Metaphor. (It's made me one busy Non-Fiction editor)  We started using strobe lighting in my studio lighting class. My poor group got behind on the assignment because of faulty plugs, burned out bulbs, and a bad meter. We ended up holding up the whole class on Wednesday to finish the assignment. Which involved us taking the lights out on campus in the cold. I had to leave early for an important Metaphor meeting so I don't know how the pics turned out.
Thursday was V-day which consisted of loads of hw and a roomie date with Paigy. I also found out that my senior capstone reading is for sure on March 15, 2013 at 6:30 pm. I thought that I had ten minutes to fill but was informed that I actually have twenty. So instead of poetry I will be reading a fiction piece I've been working on. (i'm actually way nervous. twenty minutes is a long time!) Thankfully spring break is just around the corner and I have my mentor and Dr. R to help me edit before my reading. Getting closer to graduation!
