Well it's official! I've gotten sick for the first time this season! due to the huge H1N1 outbreaks everywhere and campuses being afraid of the spread I was "forced" to take a couple of days off.
I went into work Monday morning but by the end of my shift I was severely flagging. I went home and emailed my teachers and let them know I wouldn't be making it.
Tuesday morning followed suit after I woke up with a fever. I called into work and emailed my teachers. They're all very understanding, as I said before, because of the H1N1 thing. I knew that if I'd gone on to campus I would've been asked to leave by my teachers, plus I was getting tired just walking up the stairs so I can't imagine I would've done well walking around campus and up many more stairs.
This morning (wednesday) I emailed into my internship that I needed the day off because I was sick, but I did end up going into class tonight which was good because if I hadn't I would've missed out on quiz review for our quiz on monday!
Now, moving on from illness, I have OFFICIALLY registered for my FINAL semester of college! I am so excited about this! I can't wait to graduate and I have also decided that I'm going to walk and do the graduation ceremony. I feel that this is a big accomplishment and I'd like it celebrated! My last semester will be hectic and intense though. I'm taking 19 credits (6 classes).
more on those later I'm sure!
Another post will have to contain the other things I have to say, unfortunately, homework is calling my name :/

November?!
Well damn, its been about a month since I've posted but unfortunately not much has really changed or happened in my life.
I'm still doing the whole school thing, just getting more and more excited to graduate in May and move on from school (for awhile at least). People keep asking me what I want to do with my degree when I'm done with school and I really need to come up with a better answer than "I'm not really sure". I have several things I've thought of but it seems so far off that I haven't put much thought, plus with the economy the way it is I'll probably just take it easy and take what I can get for the time being and search for something in my field after things improve.
I had a couple of trips up to my cabin, once with my sister and Aidan which was great. That little boy is just too damn cute! We had lots of fun playing and watching TV and just hanging out. The other trip up there was with Matt, Kate, and Nick. We all literally sat around all weekend. There was lots of rain so not much time spent outside. It stopped for a little bit on Saturday so the guys got a pretty good fire going. No smores or hot dogs for us though, we had enough food up there. Both trips were amazing, relaxing, and totally needed! Can't wait to plan another one!
Three of my cousins are now engaged; Nick, Andrea, and Katie. I couldn't be more happy for them! It's going to be an exciting next year or so as the weddings start to happen.
Classes are still going...nothing really exciting about them other than me not being able to wait for this semester to end. My schedule is just running me ragged and its really hard to maintain it all. Next semester with dropping one of my jobs and my school schedule changing dramatically it'll be much easier to manage my time and allow for things like...SLEEP! I'm spread very thin this semester and can't wait for it to end. Only 7 more weeks.
My birthday happened. 22. Officially IN my 20's. Nothing special just dinner with the fam and Matt and I went and saw Paranormal Activity which was terrifying but amazing at the same time. Tried a little get together with my friends but it kind of fell apart. Whatev's.
My internship is going well. I still get a day here and there that is incredibly boring with lame projects, but they're working on branching me out to Nepal and India right now which is awesome. I'm working on creating referral packets for Nepal (which is a new program) and I will be doing all the audio for the Travel Presentation CD for India. I'm very excited about these new projects.
Work is work. You would think that between the 2 paying jobs and working about 30hrs a week I wouldn't be doing too bad, but my spending has been a little out of control :\. I'm cutting back hugely though didn't really do much for Halloween and I'm just keeping things low-key for awhile until I get the bank account back up and the credit card bill down. Work is also boring and with it not really paying me enough I have been looking for baby-sitting jobs. A little more fun and a little extra cash. Can't hurt, right?
Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is volunteering. I'd really like to volunteer at so many places but I just don't really have the time. I find my thoughts going a mile a minute trying to determine which is most worthy but it's really hard to pick. I've already contacted Planned Parenthood about volunteering with them next semester and I've also looked at Minneapolis Crisis Nursery. Both of which I'd really like to volunteer at and gain some more experience. How I'm going to make that work however, I don't know. There are many other places but it just seems that these two are pulling at me the hardest. I don't know how I would balance it all but I'm hoping that I can find a way to make it work. Here's to hoping.
