.

So my last post was about how amazing school is going.
Well maybe I spoke too soon.
But I am finding it even harder these days to find time to get all of my assignments done on time.
Maybe it's the shift from the crummy weather to the absolutely beautiful Summer weather...
I would much rather be outside soakin' up the sun when I'm not working
but that is rather impossible since I am always running off to class or back home to study or write an essay or read a chapter or taking an exam.

6 weeks left till a few weeks of freedom...it'll be glorious!

Until then
It's back to the books, the exams, and the papers.
Bye Summer!


Oh!
I officially declared my minor and emphasis...exciting right?
I thought so too, until I saw the additional classes I needed to take before May 2012.
Oh well!
I'll have a bachelors of science in human development and family studies, a minor in sociology, with an emphasis in criminology. That's a mouth full, but SO worth it.
(don't ask me what I'll be doing with these...because I have no clue, yet)

Spring 2012 better get here quick if I want to survive!

Stayin' Afloat

Yep.
I am now 4 weeks into my Summer courses.
And I am happy to report...
I am stayin' afloat!
I believe the demands of all 5 of my classes is helping me stay focused.
Teaching myself, since 3 are online courses, gives me greater responsibility.
I have not failed any exams yet.
Nor have I even scored lower than a B on anything.
Mostly As though...wahoo!
This is something to celebrate.
I'm hoping to stay this focused for the remaining 7 weeks.

In other news, My parents are coming out here in exactly 5 weeks!
I am SO excited!
I am counting down the days.

And in OTHER news...
I got a $100.00 bonus at work for receiving 29 Positive Owner Surveys regarding my customer service. Such a sweet deal. I didn't receive a single negative one.
It really does pay off to be nice ;)

And finally...it's beginning to feel like Summer.
Weather wise, at least.
I love the feeling of driving with the windows down and having the sun beat down on me.

It's a beautiful life
