Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! We are now into the second week of classes for summer 1 and twelve week courses. I am taking 3 online twelve week courses and one in class six week course. It has been a busy first two weeks and I am looking forward to December when I can finally earn that IUE degree! I am envious of all you lucky ones who walked the line- congratulations! There are many people taking summer courses- and I noticed a lot of them are earning their degree in December (like me). Who wants to wait until the following May to walk in commencement? It is time to expand our growing school with a December commencement! Anyone with me?
I thought blogs were being shut down last week and noticed that they weren’t. I thought I would take this as a perfect opportunity to write a summer blog just to see how everyone was doing. What are your summer plans? Are you catching up like me? Taking the summer semester off and relaxing? Either way I hope you are having a great start to the summer! I just wanted to catch up. My summer plans (other than school) is to improve my work ethic and productivity at work. I also sold my Cricut Create machine so that I could get the Cricut Expression and I love it!! I am able to work on a lot more projects at a much faster and more organized pace. I am so happy that I can expand my creative learning. I have made a few cards and picked up some stenciling material so I can cut stencils. Today UPS dropped off my vinyl so I can start working on my wall decor! I am so excited to start working on my projects. I also have Armor Etch cream (to etch glass), Cricut Stamping kit, and extra Cricut stamping refills to make my own stamps. A lot of people have come to me wanting things made… so this could turn into a nice little business eh?

Well I have my first test of the semester in Nutrition tomorrow and I better get started on studying for it. I have been diligently taking notes and paying attention in class so I feel fairly confident on it anyway but I would like to study some as well.

I realize that having a part one to preparing for interviews should have a part two however… part two could be either getting the job or… not getting it. I have no idea what you should do right now if you haven’t gotten the job except the first thing you should consider is going over [...]

Preparing for an interview takes a little more effort than you think. Before you even realize it you are worried about what you are going to wear, how you are going to calm your jitters, what you will say to the “oh so many” questions they will ask you and more importantly, you need to know that there [...]

Do you ever feel like you are dreading something? I have felt this way for the past week or so. Dreading… but what? Each day I keep telling myself… this is the day I will finally figure out what I am dreading and yet the feeling doesn’t go away. It isn’t a terrible feeling I [...]

Things have been really rough lately. I’ve tried to let it all go but I’m tired of it all to bother with trying to feel better about it all. I am ready for spring break. It would be nice right about now but with my luck lately I probably won’t have a break. I’ll have [...]

I’ve been feeling really off lately. I don’t really know why I just feel like I am dreading something but I don’t know what. Things have been so crazy lately that I cannot pinpoint my feelings right now.  I am definitely ready for bed tonight although I haven’t done much of anything besides homework all [...]

I am a little perturbed. I spent four hours on a test yesterday for one of my online classes. It was hard and took a significant chunk out of my weekend so maybe I was too hopeful for expecting a descent grade? Okay, I got a C on it so that isn’t really bad like [...]
