A Systems Approach to Small Group Interaction with Student CD-ROM and PowerWeb

Well, classes have begun again, and it's back to the crazy life for me.  I have 18 credits this semester, and I'm working 20 hours a week for now.  That's 10 fewer work  hours than I normally do per week, so we'll see if I can handle the cut financially once I get my first round of bills to see what it's gonna cost me each month to live.

I'm enjoying my classes so far for the most part.  I do not enjoy statistics, but I can deal with it.  I am enjoying Personal Finance, Change Management, and Leadership through Teams.  OSHA and Business Writing are okay, but I don't care for them too much at this point.

It has been nice settling into my very own apartment with no roomies other than my turtle.  I can sleep and study and such when I need to because it is quiet.  I have also enjoyed having Rob live just a block away because I can do quick 5 minute visits just to say hello between classes and such, which seems to make him happy as well.

My 23rd birthday went well.  Not everyone showed up who was supposed to, but I had fun with those who did.  I made turtle brownies and had chips and salsa and salsa con queso that I made myself...

I'm still losing weight, which is nice.  I weighed in at 134.6 this past weekend, which means I'm only about 10 pounds away from my goal...  I'm not feeling smaller yet, but it always takes time for the mind to catch up with the body.

Well, I have more reading to do for class, so I shall go for now, just wanted to update on how my life has been.

Well, the summer is coming to an end in a few weeks....I'm no where near ready for classes and such, I don't want to move, although I'm quite ready to be out of my current living situation....

I must pack this week....problem is, there is too much stuff in my apartment that belongs to other people that isn't supposed to be there for me to have room to put my packed stuff so I have room to pack more...Soooo frustrating....GRRRR....

so....yeah....just not in a great mood to be writing right now....I hope everyone is having a great week...*HUG*

So the wedding went well...It was nice seeing family and friends and getting all dressed up and dancing with Rob....There is a pic of us in my photoblog if you wanna check it out...

Not much is really going on, just work every day....I'm supposed to play soccer tonight with some friends, which should be fun considering I've only played once, and that was with 4th grade boys at the camp...I guess I'll just pretend I know what I'm doing until I figure it out...

I'm not sure what I'm doing for 4th of July yet...Kinda depends on Rob and his family...My guess is maybe a cookout on Sunday or Tuesday, but I don't know.....I chose to work Monday instead of taking it off cause I need the cash...the wedding and having to pay two months' rent by August 1st for my apartment next year has pretty much emptied my account....

I want a nap...I haven't had a nap in I don't know how long...I miss them...I just have so much to do all the time and no time to do it....I get home from work, get ready to work out, go run, shower, eat dinner, do dishes, clean the aquarium if it needs it, and by then, it's almost 9 pm so I see Rob for a bit then go to bed...it's just CRAZY...Makes me wonder how I'm gonna do it when classes start...I'll be working my 20-30 hours a week as well as taking 18 credit hours and still have all my usual chores and such and workouts....am I ever going to sleep???

Just a few days left til the wedding....I will be doing my nails and getting my tan tomorrow evening, and also packing for the trip and such...It's kinda odd going to my older sister's wedding, because I don't think I ever saw her as one to get married, but she's the first of us....hmmm...

Mieko arrives at my parents house in a few hours....I can't wait to see her when I get there Friday...I always miss her so much between visits...My grandpa should also be arriving today, I think.  Can't wait to see him either...

What I really can't wait for though is to see Rob in his new suit...I think he's going to look absolutely fabulous...Maybe a glimpse at what he'll look like in my wedding someday???    I'm really enjoying my 5 inch heels because it makes me tall enough to be at his shoulders now, ha ha....sometimes I just feel so short around him...

Work is boring today as usual...It was payday today, which was exciting except that it's all spoken for already...blah...Oh, well...I shall deal...

Hey...So it's been a pretty okay week so far...Lots of computer stuff at work as usual, workouts with my friend Sinan, and seeing Rob more than I did last week, which makes me super happy, of course...

Saturday will be Rob's birthday, so I'll be making his favorite eclair cake.  Not sure how many people to expect yet though, which would be nice to know so I know how much food to prepare.  With 12 kids in his family though, you never really know who will show up and who won't, ha ha. 

We went suit shopping last night for Rob.  My sister's wedding is next Saturday, the 24th.  I get to be all girly and do my hair and nails and wear a dress and such...yay...I need to practice walking in my 5 inch spike heels though...Wouldn't want to fall down the aisle...

I'm hoping to get some swimming in this weekend.  Sinan and I swam for our workout last night, but by then the sun was mostly gone and the water was kinda cold....Maybe I'll have time Saturday before I have to start cooking the birthday/father's day meal...hmmm...
