"look into your heart and you'll find love love love love"

So just a few hours ago I was feeling incredibly overwhelmed. I knew grad school would be a challenge, but I had no idea that one of my classes would include website design. It's still add/drop so I thought about dropping it, but after talking and praying with Tyson and looking at the first unit, I think I'm going to stay in it. It will be a lot of work, but I think worth it in the end to have the skill. Plus Tyson knows someone who can help me, which makes me feel a lot better.

Work has been super busy. Lots of student workers and grad assistants coming in to do paperwork. It's crazy, but I am strangely having fun. Maybe not fun, but definitely not hating it at all.

Other than that, I'm just having fun with my new car and reading and crafting...oh yeah, I named my car Phelps Water Cube Kennedy! Because I got him in the middle of the Olympics and it rained a lot that day. :o)

"but you have to follow through."

Hello hello hello! I am a little sad right now because I just watched the closing ceremony of the Olympics and I do not really know what to do with myself. For the past two weeks I have had some form of Olympics (towards the end I got pretty desperate, even watching table tennis...) while I do things. Like crafting. This weekend I made a super cute welcome sign that my mom wishes me to replicate for her. Hopefully I do not disappoint.

Classes officially start tomorrow and it's a little weird for me. I have two online classes and a class that meets once every three weeks on Saturdays from 9am-6pm. I'm a little nervous. But I got an email tonight that online courses won't be available until 11pm so I can not feel guilty for neglecting to start studying and getting ready for class.

"the best thing about him is his calm demeanor."

I am a little obsessed with the Olympics. I remember sitting in my room with my friend Ally when I was 7 years old watching figure skating and crying because we were so sad Oksana got the gold over Nancy Kerrigan. But anyways, the faithgirlzzz are avid watchers this Olympic season. Our favorite event is making fun of the horrible commentators--who says "little boy on pommel horse?"

In other news, cricut and I are becoming besties again. It is amazing and he has helped me make some great cards to which the recipients say "yay!" to.

Sleep is something that has steadily decreased. No bueno. I blame...daylight savings time. Or my inability to be disciplined.

Joanna and I are going to start a new tv channel and Michael Phelps will be on all the time but not lameness like on the Olympic coverage. We will also have not lame commercials.

That is all. Tyson returns to College Station and I am very excited!!

"all i care about is you and your baby...and maybe the cymbals."

Long time, no blog! Haha that was lame. But really, I've been a bit neglectful of it. So sad. I want to go to the movie theater and view a film. With yummy movie popcorn.

We are still celebrating Lauren's birthday that was Friday. It started last Thursday and I [think] concluded tonight. Maybe. Currently we are watching a pathetic dating show on Bravo with a girl from the Real Housewives of Orange County. We laugh because it all takes place at her ex-fiance's house. Weeeeird.

The summer show to watch for our crew has been The Secret Life of the American Teenager, aka the Pregnancy Show. It's great for the bad acting, insane plot twists [that we see coming a week in advance], and shadiness. Alas, I love it.

This summer has gone by so fast! It's weird that it's almost time for classes to start back up again. I'm a little nervous about grad school, but super excited. Well it is definitely time for bed...zzzzzzzzz

Baked Potato Mondays are my favorite!

So I have been working at my job on campus for three weeks and a day and my current obsession is Pandora Radio. And naps. But not the latter during work. But anyways, it makes me feel semi-cool because it's like I have my own radio station of music I like. And I can say "thumbs down" and it will skip a bad song and ban it from my station. So fun.

I've been reading lots of different (children's/young adult/but really children's) books this summer. I am currently on the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, The Silver Chair. It's pretty good so far, but I only started last night.

Now that I am a college graduate, I feel all this additional pressure to use excellent grammar. This is only magnified by the fact that my degree is for educating young minds about English and Social Studies. So silly. Where is all this going? No idea. Except maybe I consider this an excuse for me talking slower.

I used to be an anti-Rachael Ray person (mainly because she's always on tv, being obnoxious and talking to her audience like they are children who haven't taken their ADD medicine) but in my Food Network afternoon marathon, I decided I enjoy her cooking. Not that she cares, but anyways.

Well I would really like a nap so I think I will indulge.

all you need is love...and a shiny aggie ring

So I'm still enjoying being a graduate (no school or GPR to worry about) but I am constantly getting the, "what are you doing now?" I think I have a mini-speech memorized that I say every time. Here it goes....

Inquiring person: "Congratulations! What are your plans now?"

Me: "Thank you...well I am working part-time on campus at A&M right now and will
start grad school in the fall."

Inquisitor: "That sounds <>! Where
are you working?"

Me: "The business office in the College of Architecture. It's been a
really great learning experience so far."

And then I try to run away. But anyways. I have been [attempting] to keep myself busy cleaning and organizing, cricuting, reading Alex Rider books, and trying to get a tan. I would also include working out but I would definitely not win Miss Consistent in a pageant. A workout pageant?

I have a bubble bath calling my name so I had better hang out with it!

that silly boy is the love of my life :o)
