Yay for a Break (If you can call it that)

So I did it, I dropped my class! It worked out really well when I did not have to write my paper and take the test for that class this week! I just feel like I need this time for myself to be able to put my efforts into my job, into my thesis, family and friends, and hopefully myself as well. I am currently at work, just taking a little break (I used to be in class right now). I am glad that today is going a little bit better, yesterday was like the preschool day from hell (sorry there was no other way to describe it). Just overall I was having a really hard time. The end of it seemed to calm down a little so when I left for home I was feeling much better about things. Today is much better! I really love teaching, sometimes it is a huge challange but it is so worth it to me! Anyways I need to go pick up some kids!

Overwhelmed

I have had a lot of people ask me if I am ok lately. I have been feeling like I have so much going on that I can't do it all. Having everyone be so concerned has had me step back and really think about making some change. For a couple of weeks I have been wishing I could give something up because I just feel like in order to graduate this spring I would have so much to do. So I am contemplating whether I should drop one of my intense classes. This would mean that I would not graduate until the fall but I just feel like if I try to finish everything now I am just going to feel completely overwhelmed and not be able to do things the way that I would like. I also feel like I have been kind of drained over the past year and I need sometime to take care of myself. I still going to have stuff to do, but I will feel like I can do it! Anyways I still need to talk to my professor but this is probably what is going to happen. 

Back to Life

This is going to be another interesting semester for me because I only have 2 classes. Last semester I technically only had 2 classes, but one of them took up at least 5 hours of my day everyday so it seemed like I had a lot more to do. This semester though I only have one class during the day and one that is once a week at night. So I have moved into the working world, and will begin working full time tomorrow. I am glad to be moving into a more financially stable situation (hopefully) than I have for a long time. I know that I still will feel rather busy though because one of my classes I actually have to worry about and I am doing an honors contract in that class (meaning I choose to do honors so I have to do extra work in the class, fun huh?). My night class though is a breeze so I am not really worried. I also will be sending out the survey for my honors thesis. I hope that it got approved and that everything will go ok. 

Here is an update on our good friend Ferdita. About 30 min. after my last post I looked outside and this is what I found. It was a very tragic loss (lol). I am grateful that she did go before this this weekend though because it absolutely freezing up here. 

Winter Break!!!

I am really not ready to go back to school on Monday. It has been a very nice break though. Christmas was a lot of fun and I was so glad that all of my family was able to come over despite the snow. My brother Peter and his family ended up staying the night because the weather was so bad. In Logan Katie, Phaedra, and I have been having a lot of fun just hanging out. Here are some of the pictures we took, so you can see what we have been doing. This is our tree that was borrowed from my sister-in-law! It turned out so pretty, and my roommate says it looks like it should be in a store window! 

Here is another picture of our tree. 

This is our snow woman that we made. Her name is Ferdita Rosalita Scallywag!!!

This is Phaedra and me after we put the finishing touches on her. Her hair is yarn, her eyes are scrapbooking flowers, her dress was colored pink with pink lemonade (yes she did smell very good), and she had berries on her hat and dress. I can tell you that being in preschool so much make life very interesting at home (Thats how we came up with the idea to color her dress).

This last picture is an update of our friend six days after she was created. As you can tell life has been very cruel to her and she now looks like she is Moaning Myrtle's BFF!

Tomorrow we will be knocking her down. It is very sad.
