Graduation

My graduation was on Friday night. I have officially finished my masters degree...and I can't explain how good it feels just to be finished! Here are a few pictures from the event:

The whole group coming into the coliseum.Mom and Dad, glad they were able to come see me graduate!

Joel, I'm sure he's glad I'm finished as well. He did great dealing with all my tears throughout the program :)


Deborah was so nice to come to my graduation. I was so glad to have her there :)

Brooke, we only got to take one class together, but we helped each other through the last semester and summer. Studying for comps was a major obstacle, but we both overcame it and were able to walk together!

Tasha and I actually work together, and we took one class together in the program. It was nice to be able to walk together.

Dragging on...

I really can't believe that it's only Wednesday. I have class on MTW and none on Thursday and Friday thankfully. I think that because I have all my classes the first half of the week makes it drag on and on. I think I will like my classes this semester...they are not going to be easy but hopefully I can make it through. However, the comprehensive exams I have to take this semester to finish my up my graduate studies are going to kill me. I'm scared to death of this exam. Please be praying for me!

On another note, I am getting my hair cut on Friday. Any suggestions?

Craziness

Ok, so classes start today...and let's just say there is much craziness going on. There are so many students that don't have a clue where they are going! Most of the time I can handle the absent minded looks, and I even try to help the poor students. BUT, if I get one more phone call for the Financial Aid department (my number is only one digit different from theirs) I'm going to have to scream. Haha! I try to be as nice as possible. I even looked the number up for them and give it to them when I say sorry you have the wrong number. You'd think they'd be appreciative, but most of the time I get hung up on. That is not the reaction I was looking for from them! Oh well, hopefully it'll all die down soon once school gets into full swing...in about 2 weeks! (Hopefully I can make it that long)

On to a happier note. My friends and I had a girl's night out on Friday night. We went to Santa Fe Cattle Co. It is pretty good...I got a steak...yummy. Also, they have this chipotle bacon ranch dressing that is really good. Just a recommendation if you happen to go there! We had a good time catching up and visiting, and we even made a stop by Old Navy before coming home. Fun times! :)

Hope you're having a great Monday!

Class is almost over!

I am thrilled that summer school is almost finished. This summer has been crazy. I took 6 hours in June and was SO busy. In July I have only been taking 3 hours and as of today I only have one group paper to proofread and then we're done! I can't wait.

On another note, I am not feeling so great today. I think it's just sinus infection...hopefully it'll go away soon. I found out last night that we are under a boil water notice for a few days because our water line ruptured. Thankfully it is fixed now though! I had to come to work yesterday morning without being able to wash my hair...that is not a pretty sight! By the time I got home from work our water pressure was back up to par and I took a shower. I also took one this morning!

I'm going to go enjoy my "free" time at work right now.
