This is what midterms has done to my desk. This week is insane. I will probably make someone cry by the end of the week...but it is an unfortunate reality.
Next week will be better, and we will have enough staff to get caught up.

Comfort food at its finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child. Lets go with #4 Shall We? It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what...
I am always on the go, and my purse is my life line. There isn't much space, so I need to pick what goes in there pretty selectively. What makes the cut is pretty telling of who I am. 1) Wallet: White, Basic, and Overstuffed. Much like me 2) Lotion and perfume: I like smelling good 3) Headphones and my IPOD: love my music 4) Biotin (to make my hair grow faster), B-12 (energy), diet pills (duh), and birth control(sadly not so much for contraception these days) AKA: My morning cocktail. 5) Mucienex and Flonase: Yay allergy season! 6) Sunglasses: For my bat like light sensitivity 7) Glasses: For my craptastic night vision and tired days 8) Tanning glasses: for when I tan (and I need to start again soon) 9) Excedrin Migraine: The only thing that even puts a dent in the pain in my shoulder/back. Well aside from a person being here to help me work out some of the tension in the knot. 10)cough drops and mints: you never know when it will come in handy 11) Cellphone charger:...
Being in grad school has been challenging. So far I've been been successful. It has been quite a bit of work. It has meant late nights, a few all nighters, and giving up time with my family. Has it been worth it: Yes. This quarter is my first Community College intensive course. The instructor is tough but fair. That being said this quarter is a whole new ball game. How she grades is tougher than past instructors, but she gives good and honest feedback. Really that is what I need. It is going to take a whole new level of dedication to get through this. I'm not exactly sure how I will make it work (just yet), but I know I will figure it out. This degree is a pretty big milestone for me. I want to go it right. I know it is going to get tough. I know I will have to put in the time and effort to make it all work. I made a choice to go after my goals and dreams, I can't get scared now. It is time to buckle down and get focused.
