Happenings...

I am going to Utah tomorrow with our Delta Epsilon Chi (college DECA) chapter. I'm pretty excited, though I'm not really mentally prepared for it. There are just sooo many other things going on right now that requries attention and it is difficult to focus energy on something that is self-contained.

Also this weekend, while in Utah - I get to see Kellie! My long lost friend. =) She is attending the Alumni reception and possibly hang out with us if schedules allow. I'm totally stoked to see her and hear more about her new exciting adventures - and relinquish mine as well. It's going to be sooo much fun fun fun!

Bobby and I, over this last weekend, decided that we are paying waay too much attention to each other. Which is comical, because one would think we wouldn't have any time for each other. So, we make a decision to - during the week - we don't get to hang out with each other with the exception of breakfast and dinner together. Outside of that, is study time. And - it was resolved we would get our homework done over the course of the week and then the weekend would be ours to spend together. Honestly, it has been the longest week already - and it's only Wednesday! Unfortunately, this weekend, as I mentioned earlier, I will be out of town - but! I'll be back on Saturday night, so we are charged to finish all homework by Saturday night so that him and I can hang out. Bugger, I don't enjoy being a manager for my own life.haha...

That's all my ranting has for today - until next time,

Peace, Love, and Patience...

Stress

I'm stressed out to the point where I might freak out...but I'm happy. Stressed - but happy.

Plus,
my blood pressure is 114/61...so I guess I'm not THAT stressed...it's gotta be all that bacon I eat. =)

Life is Funny...

Life is funny. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. Other times...you are just here. It's especially exciting when all that happens in one day! haha. Isn't it strange how you work and work for something and the slighest alterations of plans can throw you completely off. I need to re-focus my energies..set limits and deadlines for myself..and make sure I meet them. I have done really well at the whole, not drinking so much thing. Hah. That used to take up a LOT of my time...whether those close to me knew it or not. :) It's hard work recovering from a crazy night out though! Anyway, but now I have new distractions. I just keep telling myself that this is the last hard stretch. Granted, I still have one more trimester of classes/internship..this one is a BIG determining factor on my graduation...with honors, or without - that is the question. If I do not succeed, several of the professors on this campus who I look up to as mentors will be immensely disappointed, as will I.

I must push forward and remind myself everyday why I am working so hard.

Peace, Love, and Patience...

New Beginnings...

It's official. I am "in a relationship". Of which, I'm not entirely sure what means. lol. Anyway...all I know is that I love spending time with him and miss him when he's gone. Wow...that was intense, but whatever. I'm not afraid of my feelings! =) I've been so mushy gooshy lately. lol. A friend of mine commented on how happy, energetic, and positive I've been this year. I was extremely happy to hear that because it is something I have really been paying attention to and making an honest effort to acheive. It is nice to hear my hard work is paying off! Of course, it is not solely the work of myself that has caused this shift in attitude.

Frankly, if I were doing it alone..I probably would have given in to not being so energetic and what not..it's kinda of tough sometimes, so I am almost sure that I would have given up by now. BUT, thankfully, I'm not in this alone. Even from day one, when I met Bobby, I've been in a good mood without trying. He is so kind and thoughtful of other people that it makes me want to have the same kind and uplifting attitude. This is very cliche, but he truly does make me want to be a better person. A more kind, thoughtful, and considerate person...along with other things that make me a better person and closer to God (I don't think he realizes that one, though). I'm extremely thankful for him.

It is so crazy too. Because, honestly if I was at any other point in my life before now, we would not have meshed like we do. It's difficult to explain, but oh so true. I needed to go through my trials and tribulations and find myself and begin my transformation of becoming the woman I want to be in order for us to work. And we just started dating, but we work...we work. I know that 99% of the time it is "all in the timing" and...I'm soooo happy the timing was right.

Okay, enough gush.

Peace, Love, and Patience
