1 Done... Many More To Go!

I've "finished" one thing on my Life List!! Woohoo ... :)

    4. Graduate college Done! B.S. in Social Studies Education With Special Distinction ... 12-17-10

That accomplishment feels so good. So good.

& now she's old

My little sister... she's moved out of my parents' house & is out on her own now.
It's weird. But it'll be oh so much fun to have her closer to me!!!

Mom & I met up at Chace's new apt today. It's so perfect for her & she just needs a few more dishes to get a kitchen's worth of dishes!

But we had fun hanging out! It makes me kind of nostalgic for when I moved out. That first little bit was HARD. Ok who am I kidding? I still sometimes get teary-eyed leaving M&D's. It was, still is, & always will be home. 

Anyway... before it gets too deep --- CONGRATS!! on the new life change my Big Little Sister. I love you! 
Call if you need anything ;) ... I may or may not be able to offer a hot meal.  

Scenes from today:

 On our way!

 The following are my Mom & Sister... totally average day -

Um you should not have mouthed off sister dear! ;)

In Trouble - she's scared!

Trying to make it all better!

Nope doesn't work!

All the while... Aria?

Yeah she's just lounging
::sigh:: I love that dog.

On the way home

Don't worry! We were stopped.

Also --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!! Love you :)

Bisous, Kiki

What If...

This last week was National Infertility Awareness Week. I did not know this. As I was perusing my daily blog links I came across this video on What the Blog?

 It's so moving. So touching. So emotional. Watch it ... it's worth the few minutes.

I cried. To be honest, I’ve always been afraid that I’ll have trouble getting pregnant. That I’ll not be able to. Having a baby means more to me than anything else in this world.

Bisous,
Kiki

& The Yawning Starts

 So after 30 straight hours of being up I am now going to have to sit through a 3 hour class. & it's not fun and exciting. I may fall asleep. It'd be different if it were a fun and exciting class ... say history, poli sci, soc, psych... but nope. It's boring. It's monotonous. & I have to have it to graduate. So there we go. Wish me luck and someone send me coffee.
Wait, no. Don't do that. I found out this morning that 1/2 cup can make me pee about 23 times in an hour. You know how annoying that is?
J asked if I am pregnant. Um nope. Just an abnormally incredibly small bladder.

On the plus side, I just found out the professor is taking us out after class next week (we only have 8 students). On the negative side, we're going for pizza ::sigh::

for those who don't know ... get this ... I abhor pizza ... except for pizza rolls ... I'm weird I know ...

Ughhh!

School really just sucks right now.

I start looking at my "To Do" list and I get major scared. I realize I do not have near enough time to finish all that I need to.

For my two education courses

• I have to make a Unit (5 complete lesson plans w/ accompanying handouts, rubrics, etc)
• Teach a lesson in my observation class (4 periods)
• Write critique of myself teaching said lesson
• Catch up on reading
• Study for Quiz 3
• Study for Quiz 7
• Study for Final
• Complete Portfolio

For my British Empire course

• Catch up on reading
• Read two novels for a paper due in about a week
• Write said paper
• Exam 4 - the week before finals! ~ who does that?
• Final Exam

I'm seriously scared of this. I don't know how I'll get it all done; I always do, but I never know how.
I have to get all this done in under a month. Maybe that doesn't sound like much, but I have to do all this plus go to class, observe 30+ hours in a classroom, babysit, ... Oh and find time to sleep.
::sigh::
The only thing I can say at this point is Thank God my Sociology of Deviance course is done. I have an "A" in that course. That's a relief! 

I'll be back at some point.
