School...

yet again, another semester!! I have been in college for 4 years now and it seems never ending!!! After this semester i will have one summer session and 2 more semesters. Hopefully it will fly by!! i hope! This semester should be really stressful! I am taking 17 hours! 2 of them are online classes, which i do not do so well in but they were only offered online! *sigh* I will make the best of it though. I'm afraid my working nights will get in the way of my studies so we will have to see how that plays out. Momma told me that she would help me out all that i needed if i had to quit my job but i'm going to keep it as long as possible and just save up the money i can. Anyway, it's really late. I need to get to sleep so i can wake up early and eat breakfast before i hit to road to Hammond for classes!!

A new year, a new beginning

I haven't written in over a month, geez i'm slacking. But in my defense i have been working over 40 hours every week and have been so tired. It was absolutely insane working retail during the Christmas Holidays but well worth it; I made so much money! Because I did so great in school this past semester and have been working my bootie off i decided to buy myself i little present!! I bought a 47" flat screen TV plus TiVo!!! A Vizio TV, to be exact! Ok, it's not so little but I thought I deserved it! It's the only really nice thing i've ever bought myself so i thought it was time. I had been saving money for a while and then after doing so well in school the timing was right!! I ended up making a 3.3 gpa this past semester, i was so proud of myself but next semester it's going to be higher than that!! :) Oh, and my Christmas was absolutely amazing!!! I love being with allll of my family, it's so much fun and definitely NO dull moments! It was great!

I have a feeling this year is going to be a GREAT one!!! I just know it! I am going to make the best out of every situation that comes to me. Another reason i know it's going to be a great year is that it's going to SNOW again on Thursday!! Oh how i love the snow!! This is going to be twice this winter! Man, what's going on with the weather!? Snow twice in one winter....in SOUTH LOUISIANA!!??? I'm not complaining though....i love it!!! I'm really quite anxious to see what new adventures and opportunities the new year brings me!

On another note, Cory, my friend that was in a coma is still in it. It has now been 2 months that he has been in a coma. Katie has woken up though, greattt news! Cory is doing a lot better though; opening his eyes, moving his arms and legs, all that needs to happen now is for him to wake up. He even responds when they ask him to move his arm or squeeze their hand. All we can do is stay positive and keep praying. God has it all in his hands!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!!! Stay warm, it's going to be 17 degrees Thursday night!! Much love!

Life is too short!

These past few weeks have been a struggle and constant prayer!! I've never had so many friends or people i know get in car wrecks, serious wrecks! My friends Cory Lentini and Zack Templet got in a bad accident 2 weeks ago. Zack is already out of the hospital but Cory is still in a coma. His punctured lungs and liver are healing quickly so that's good! he had surgery to restructure his jaw and pelvis. A few days ago he developed pnemonia and staff in his lungs but the doctor said it's under control. They say he is doing very well, considering his condition, but we are just waiting on him to wake up. Constant prayer and knowing God is in control is the only way to get through this.

Another friend, Katie Walters, got in a horrible accident 5 days ago on her way to work. She is also still in a coma, has punctured lungs and shattered pelvis. She has so many major major injuries the doctors said they have no earthly idea how she is still alive. I'll tell you why she is still alive....by the grace of our almighty God!! Her brain is swelling and she is having strokes. Only time will tell for both Cory and Katie. They are just taking it day by day. That's all you can do in times like these. All we can do is continue the constant prayer!! I'm a strong believer in prayer, God listens!! All of this has really hit home for me and teaching me to never take life for granted!

I don't know how many people read my blog but for whoever does, please please pray for Cory and Katie and their families. Even if you don't know them, it doesn't matter, the more praying the better! They are both great great people and their families really need miracles! i know they can pull through this, they are strong people!

Besides all of this, life is great! School is going better than i could have ever expected for this semester! only 3 days left of classes!! CRAZY!!! this semester went by soooo fast!!! I have 3 projects to do next week but it will get done!
I went and saw New Moon at the midnight premiere last night! It was AMAZING!!!! I absolutely loved it! I'm not going to say too much because of anybody who reads this who hasn't watched it yet and wants to. I'm just going to say it's definitely worth going see! :) The next one, Eclipse, comes to theaters this coming June!! Really soon, i'm so excited!! :)
That's really all for now, i'll update more when i hear anything else about Cory and Katie.

i love yall!

a little bit of everything

I haven't been able to write a blog in a while, i feel like it's been forever!! Between school, observing at a day care, and work i don't have a lot of free time!

I have been doing very well the past couple of weeks! School is going GREAT!!!! I have all A's and B's and there are only 3 weeks left of school! It amazes me how well i'm doing! I'm truely giving it my all and it has paid off!! It makes me feel really good about myself! yay!

Work is driving me crazy but that's nothing new. It's getting more hectic as it gets closer to the holidays. I'm in the process of finding another job. I want to find one that actually has to do with my major, trying to get into the hospital setting. I have faith that it will all work out!

My halloween was awesome!! My mom and I made my costume! i was a speed bump!! :) we painted to sweatpants and sweatshirt yellow and got my dads bike tire and painted it black and ran it over the outfit a few times!! it was great fun!! picture below! it was sooo much fun!

that's all for tonight, it's late and my bedtime!! i have to work 10 hours tomorrow!

goodnight!! :)

stressed to the max!!

I have not been able to blog lately because of being tied up with school stuff! It seems like it never ends and i never get a break! My classes this semester give me more homework than i've ever had in my whole life combined! It's insane! I have two test tomorrow and two in Tuesday AND i've been working allllllll weekend. I also had 3 test last week. Please explain to me when will i have time to study?! I'm literally going crazy trying to squeeze time in to study. I brought my school stuff with me to work the past few days and would study on my breaks. And work doesn't care that i have a thousand school things to do, they just schedule me more hours....that makes since right?...ugh...i'm so stressed! I've broken down and cried just about everyday this week.
And speaking of work... i only get one weekend off a month. Next weekend is MY weekend. well, i looked at the schedule yesterday and my manager took it upon herself to SCHEDULE ME FRIDAY(10 hours), SATURDAY(9 hours) and SUNDAY(8 hours)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is supposed to be my weekend off! Her excuse? She "thought" i needed more hours and "thought" i was broke so i needed money. Yes, that would have been nice to have extra hours...but NOT on my weekend off, and do not assume that i need money! She doesn't know my situation! I could be really rich and have this job for "fun". I'm not....but that could have been the situation....she didn't know. ugh...i hate that job. so now, instead of working 3 or 4 weeks straight without a weekend off i will now have to wait EIGHT weeks! fabulous!!!

Things really need to get better before i completely lose my mind!! If i can just make it until Tuesday night i will be okay..... :(

school and other updates!

I haven't posted in a while! I have been so busy with school starting up and working everyday!
I started classes on the 20th and i actually love all of my classes!! That has NEVER happened, ever!! I am taking all Family and Consumer Science classes. i'm taking 2 nutrition classes, child development, adolescent development, and family finances. They are all very interesting! especially child development! However, i have never had this much homework in my life!!! In my child development class alone i have 12 pages of homework with 15 questions on each page and 5 parts to each question!! AND a 2 page essay to write!! It's insane the amount of homework she gave us! It's all due tomorrow! Remember, that's all just for one class!! I have 4 other classes! It's okay though, i love the stuff i'm learning so i'll do it all!

Besides school all i do is work. I don't have time for anything else. If i'm not going to school or work then i'm doing homework and studying. I used to cook all the time but now i don't have time to anymore. LUCKILY, my awesome roommate, Chris, is starting to cook more!!! i'm so excited about this. I love when he cooks, it's soooo good!! Just one less thing i have to worry about. I love a guy living in the house because he can fix things that i am incapable of fixing! And he takes out the trash and does dishes! it's greattttt!!!! But of course, i do dishes when he cooks! it's polite!
But anyway, it's getting late and i have to finish up some homework! I have to get up in the morning and run some errands and go eat lunch with my mom!! yay!! :)

Great news!!!!!

MY GRANNY DOES NOT HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR!!!!! YAY!!! i am so very excited!!! Thank yall for yalls prayers!!! This is the best news ever!!! She got the MRI results back yesterday! They don't know exactly what the problem is...there is definitely something wrong with her but the doctors can not figure it out. at least it's not a tumor! We can be thankful for that!
