| One more final left to take tomorrow afternoon for my online class. I sold back two books today and got $84.75 back. Wow. Too bad most of it will be going to getting my oil changed and my tires rotated on my SUV. A bit overdue on the oil change.
I'm relieved that I'll have a month to relax and not worry about school. Eh, summer school hopefully won't be all that bad. At least I hope not. Taking a full load this summer. 15 hours. Gets me closer to graduation so I guess at this point I'm ok with it.
I haven't moved much of my stuff back home yet. Need to get on that soon.

| My last official day of class was Wednesday. Hard to believe the end is already here. I took my Reporting final this morning. And I have three to take next week. Wednesday I'll be done.
I treated myself to shopping today. Something that I never do for myself. Bought 4 lovely shirts at Charlotte Russe. All tax-free! I got cute accessories and shoes at Target.
It's nice to dress like a girl sometimes. It seems these days all I wear are my PetSmart clothes.
Tomorrow shall be a fun and entertaining evening. A night full of Autovaughn, Jetpack, and the Comfies. Alan and his girl will be in attendance with Brett and I. It's going to be a night of fun and sleeplessness. I have to be at work at 7 Sunday morning. But it will be worth it.

| I have been researching graduate schools and I think I've decided where
I am going to go. University of Memphis School of Journalism offers an
online degree program for a M.A. in Journalism.
It would take
me about a year and a half to complete the program and it won't cost
nearly as much as I thought it would. I'll qualify for financial aid
since I'll be 24 when I am ready to apply for admissions.
I
really don't want to work at PetSmart forever. I like it there and I
love my job. I am just tired of the same old routine every week. I
don't want to be a reporter....but I just want to write. A column of
some sort has been my dream. I just have to figure out just what sort
of publication I want to write for....
Paul asked me just the
other day where I had considered applying for a job once I graduate.
And to be honest, I haven't really even given that a whole lot of
thought just yet. I've been entirely too wrapped up with the whole
process of working and going to school that I haven't even thought
about who I want to write for.
I suppose I should get right on that.
Tomorrow starts my week of not working. Woot. | | |
| Love is great. Love is grand. I love being able to see my boyfriend every single day. In the past three and a half years we've never been able to do that. Always seeing each other MAYBE once a week if that. Him living closer is having it's perks of course. Closer to my work and school and parents house.
I am taking a lovely week off from work next week. I'll only have to deal with school. I shall fill it full of fun and eventful outings. Seeing my little ones is the first thing on the list. I haven't seen those two since August. I'm a bad "Aunt Ammo". I have to bring Brylea a birthday present because she turns 4 tomorrow. Where has the time gone?
Brett and I are going to look at some art exhibits which shall be quite fun. And hanging out with friends who I've had to neglect for my studies. I cannot wait to see some of them. School is out in like three weeks....and then one week off. And then SUMMER school. Weeeee.
I keep telling myself it will be worth it. I'm 3/4ths of the way through. The last bit shall be the hardest I'm sure. Who cares if I'm 24 by the time I graduate. All things considered, it's not that bad. From dating stupid boyfriends, depression, family drama, family illness, friend drama.....it's caused me a long, hard, and bumpy road in the process of getting my college education.
But I finally, after all this time, realize it's not worth it to stress out about those little things. Getting depressed over fighting with a friend or feeling down about myself did nothing but put me behind in school. And I paid for it. And it sucked. But I've worked so hard for the last two years that not a thing can stand in the way of me and my college degree. Not a damn thing. :)
