....while in international relations class.

So what DeSantis is saying about World Banks is going in one ear and out the other...very typical. Great professor...just not interested in the subject. Nonetheless HAPPY HUMP DAY! Tomorrow being my Friday this is also know as my Friday eveeee :)

I came to the realization yesterday that I'm done with this whole school thing, unfortunately for me I still have another semester of undergrad and then 2 years of grad school. Everybody keeps saying stay in school forever...yes, the economy is bad but I'm sick of sitting in class, doing homework, writing papers, and taking tests. I'm sure I will eat my words once I get in the real world I'm just ready for the next chapter of my life. As I just typed that statement I hear my mother saying..."don't wish your life away"...why I do agree with her and I know time does fly I'm just ready for something different. I'm ready to be a guidance counselor for elementary school student or college students which I also came to that realization that maybe I'm supposed to work with college students. After doing my internship last semester I realized that I really enjoy working with college students but kids still tug at my heart strings. That's what grad school is for though to figure out what exactly I want to do. Ok end of life rant.

I'm also ready to get out of this class...although allergies await me outside so does an afternoon with two sweet Kano kiddos and they always bring a smile to my face. He did just announce we would only be in here 30-45 minutes instead of the normal 1 hour and 20 minutes not too bad I guess.

A month later..

With the craziness this past month has been I haven't gotten a chance to update this thing so here we go.

My roommate finally decided to post pictures from my surprise party:

Don't be fooled this doesn't happen often
This however, does. He lets me win...most of the time.
Best friend surprised me needless to say I was shocked!

Before hell week began Derik and I traveled to Hickory to get away from Greensboro which was much needed. A weekend spent with the Walters/Townsend and baby Jack :) We attempted to plan our cruise which now looks like an all inclusive resort stay for some fun in the sun and relaxation due to pricing of cruises being slightly ridiculous.

On the way to Hickory..
MID TERMS that is what consumed my life for the majority of this past month. 4 Mid terms in 3 days was what I like to refer to as Hell week. Thankfully I got an A two B+'s and one B- so I'm not complaining too much. Except it caused me way too much anxiety. That I found to be completely unnecessary.

SPRING BREAK
Oh how glorious last week was. While my sweet boyfriend and 13 other guys packed up to head to Destin, FL for a week. I was able to catch up on life, sleep, and my family time. The first part of spring break was spent in Burlington with my entire family which rarely happens. All 4 of us in the same house which was really nice. We forced mom into watching dance videos with us which produced many hours of laughter as we have 20 years worth of memories caught on tape. From the tickling feather incident where my sister tickled her fellow dancers with a feather and then had to be pulled off stage by Ms Tracy to my senior year dancing to butterfly kisses with my daddy. Second half of spring break included UNCG grad school interview, girls nights with the roomie, and KANO kiddos :) Derik finally returned on Saturday night and Sunday we spent part of our afternoon at the ACC championship game. GO HEELS. Even though we lost.
Sweet nephew Aydan at lunch on Sunday
Sister and I at the GAME GO HEELS!

Bucket list item checked off: attend a CAROLINA vs Dooookies game.

So this has been my life for the past month or so. Hopefully I'll get better at this update thing :)
