It's be quite a while since I've written.
Life is hectic, crazy, stressful, etc.
I currently and getting back into the swing of things after a very nice and relaxing Spring Break. I had a great time. Josh and I were able to see each other everyday minus Wednesday.
I slept in everyday as well. It was very nice. Somehow I did not catch up on sleep. Usually after I sleep a lot, there will be one night where I won't be able to fall asleep because I'm not tired or it'll work that I'll go to bed and then wake up on my own relatively early. This did not happen. Not even once! haha! I was really hoping I would get to that point. But I did not.
I also went to a baby shower for one of my good friends, Leeanne. She currently lives in Wichita so it was wonderful to see her! I greatly enjoyed it although there were only 3 of us that were Leeanne's age (including Leeanne). So yes...
Internship search is going...that's all I can really say about that. I have my resume out to 3 people/companies and am hoping that one of them works out. Today was a very dilemma filled day. I received an email from a mom whose child I cared for while I worked at Koalaty Time. She asked if I wanted to nanny for them this summer. They have a kindergartner and a 2 1/2 year old. I immediately wanted to say yes! BUT what happens if I get an internship?? Grrr. So I had to decide if one of these internships was actually going to turn into something. I've pretty much decided that no, R&R Realty isn't going to happen. I submitted my resume but their GPA requirement is a 3.5 (in my opinion a 3.5 is ridiculously high as a requirement!). Allied would be nice because it would be a paying job with the title of internship attached. My last option is an "I hope so/That would be fantastic" but no pressure ;) . So, what do I do? In the end I emailed her back and laid it out for her and said "I understand if you want to find someone else that doesn't have string attached and I will keep you posted on how my search goes." She emailed back and basically said they were going to look for someone else but did want me to let her know how it went just in case.
Right now I'm just completely paranoid that I'm going to end up job-less this summer. With the way internships are lining up (or you could say the way they aren't...) mixed with this oh-so-lovely economy....I'm scared! And believe me, I am determined not to work in retail!!! But what happens if those are the only jobs available for summer-only people like me!? :-(

It's about time I wrote something
So, how's life? Well, let me tell you...

Thanks for holding in there....if you did! That was mainly just for me!

Home!
I'm going home this weekend! Josh and I are leaving on Friday, staying Friday night at home, and then I'm going shopping on Saturday for a suit because my current one doesn't fit anymore (that's another story!), then we are leaving Saturday night to come back here. The main reason we aren't staying Saturday night is because I truly don't get anything done when I am at home. I have an Accounting Information Systems test next week and need to make over 100 note cards for it this weekend...so that's why...
I was hoping to surprise my family by driving into the driveway and showing up unexpected. This plan was ruined when Josh called his parents and told his dad who then proceeded to tell my dad at the concession stands tonight! My mom called and I was in a house program so I didn't answer and left a message asking if I was coming home or if it was just Josh. So I try and call home, dad's cell, mom's cell, and Josh; none of whom answer their phones....*sigh*
Also, if you were to call and hear my voice right now it would sound horrible. I have a cold that went straight to my vocal cords/throat/chest! I just woke up this morning with it! It's fun stuff.
But yes, I am coming home this weekend, shopping, then coming back and studying! woot!

What's New:
So, a lot (kind of) has been going on.
First, I chose to return as an RA next year for my third year. I'm excited but also a little nervous. I think it will take Spring Training to energize me. Right now I'm still focused on this year. Plus, I am still bummed about not getting ROTH. Not upset really...I just know I would've loved it there.
Second, my work out class is damaging me. I thought I had shin splints, but my boss's husband who is an AD at a highschool along with coach for softball and football sent me this thing about shin splints. And, while it is painful, some of the symptoms just are not present. I've never had shin splints before so I'm kind of out of the loop and clueless. I decided I'm going to rest. If it doesn't get better before Monday I will probably go see a doctor. Who knows...I certainly don't.
Third, school stinks! Classes are ridiculous. And, it's really difficult just due to teaching styles. 3 of the 4 professors I have utilize PowerPoint and that's pretty much all they do. 2 of those professors have quizzes over each chapter and you don't know when they'll be. So, you really have to keep up on the reading. I can not learn and absorb information strictly by reading and listening to a professor read directly from a powerpoint slide. I can't do it! I'm better off in Intermediate Accounting than any class because it requires me to only study before class, teach myself, and I take notes on everything. Writing is how I absorb information. I can't write notes for every class. It takes approximately 6 hours of studying for 8 to 10 pages in intermediate. Think of my management classes that have 30 page chapters!!! That would be 18 hours for one chapter! That will NEVER happen! But if it did, I would be phenomenal in all my classes!
Fourth, and this kind of goes along with the previous point...Time is a true struggle for me. To be able to perfectly balance school, RA job, residents, posting of signs, Josh, relationships with staff, meetings for Fall Training and NRHH, exercising, sleeping, eating, checking emails, etc seems impossible! Josh and I don't eat together on Tuesdays...this week was nearly impossible to eat together mainly due to my odd schedule with RA interviews...It was rough. And for some reason, that scheduled time to just sit, eat, and see his face seems to be a necessity because I got all off-kilter when we hadn't seen each other for 2 days! Ay yi yi....if I were a superhero, Time would be the villian! ha!
Fifth, next weekend in Valentine's Day Weekend. No plans. Maybe I'll ask for the gift of help to organize? Yeah, it's free and includes spending time together so it works for me!

Decision Time
So, I applied to transfer to ROTH (apartment/suite style living residence hall).
In the end, the budget was the reason I didn't get it. There was an RA in another hall that was going to apply for a position that was opening up called a Graduate Residence Education Coordinator. But with the budget getting cut and everything, those positions won't open next year. So, she applied for ROTH. There was only one spot open for a female RA.
Now, I have to decide if I am going to be an RA next year or not. The due date for my decision is February 6th. So, I will be making a lot of pros and cons list as well as figuring out single room options.

Beginning
Tomorrow is the beginning of the Spring 2009 Semester.
On my plate I have:
Organizational Management
Operations Management
Intermediate Accounting II
Accounting Information Systems
RA
Fall Workshop Committee
NRHH planning for Among the Stars
and life...
I'm ready. Kind of.
No, I am not organized. Yes, I am ready to become organized!
I am taking an exercise class twice a week for a total of 3 hours per week. The title is Total Body Conditioning. It consists of cardio-endurance, muscular strength, land & step aerobics, kickboxing, strength, and core stability. The actual 1st class is Wednesday. On Thursday you should ask how I am doing haha! I believe it will kick my butt. However, I hope that at the end of the semester I will be more in shape and it won't be kicking my butt anymore!

It has arrived
The time has come...
When I have to drive back to UNI...
I don't know when I'll be back...
I'm afraid it will be Spring Break...
I'm not going to Florida with my family over Spring Break. I will have the house all to myself. It's kind of scary and surprising at the same time. My parents really wanted me to go with them. However I know I will be having a lot of things going on with homework and I have a dentist appointment scheduled. Plus, there won't be anyone around my age there. So, while it's always fun just to go down to Florida, I don't think I would enjoy it to the fullest. Hence, I should probably be more productive and just stay here. Maybe then I can FINALLY get my car fixed! Oh goodness...
I'm off to do laundry before I leave...
