what the heezy?

there is a girl in my methods class sitting near me who is trimming her hair with toe-nail clippers during lecture... what the heezy?? lol entertainment at its finest.

puppy dog...

I think this pup has turned into a full time job - 

he ate 2 pens today

attacked the cat multiple times

stole my moms socks and scattered all the shoes in the house to multiple places

and continues to try to sit in my lap while I'm trying to study. 

:\

But one thing is for sure, he is definitely a camera/computer lover. 

homesick for a place that has never been "home"

Due to some recent events in my life I have found myself day dreaming of a different place and time. 

I didn't think it was possible to become homesick for a place that I've never actually lived, but I have to say that I am officially homesick for Europe. There was a freedom to be me there that I don't have here... and I miss that.

I'm just going to hold on to the fact that things will change for the better - I need to believe that.

Someday.... someday.

What is my life like on a Monday night?

Yep this is my life now. 

I wish I could show you all my daily planner - The next 10 weeks have every line filled and even sticky notes to keep everything in order and hopefully done one time. 

Today was ok - my nose and throat are feeling better. yay! Its just my head. 

Are these senior classes supposed to make you depressed?? My NSCI class was all about our negative effect on the environment and basically how we're destroying the world. great. :\ and my Senior Capstone class made me think heavy heavy thoughts... too much for a sudafed filled brain. 

So here I am, sitting here at my desk (which is covered in books and papers) trying to just organize my night of studying - Pray I get it all done! Thankfully I get to run to Barnes and Noble to get my additional readings for two of my classes and I have my audio books (Twilight and such) to keep me company on these study-filled evenings. :) 

4 more days until the weekend!!! :) 

end of week 1

Week 1 of 10 is over and boy it was a crazy one!!! 

I don't know what I was thinking taking 21 units... what the heezy? 

NSCI - Humans and the Environment, Senior Capstone, Intro to Physics (sigh), Methods of Research AND Abnormal Psychology. 

Yep, the load is as stressful as it sounds. BUT I'm so very happy to have my friends and family. 

I got lucky and have Yvette as my Methods partner and we got Suzanne Mallery as our 

faculty advisor for our project. 

I'll be done with my Internship hours at the Children's Hospital by mid-May, just in time for the paper to be done and turned in (on the 22nd)... I have a service learning requirement for one of my classes so I'm gardening on Sunday mornings now, making garden boxes for the Disabled in Riverside. Physics is the SAME class I took in High School! So why do I have to repeat the information? Thankfully Kendra is in the class... I wish I could have followed Nick and dropped. But no, I'm stuck. 

Friday night I got really sick, my body finally gave in to all the exposure I've had so I've been down all weekend. At least it hit me when I had a day - but now its 10:30 Sunday night and I still have a high fever and can barely talk from my sore throat. boo. 

I've been reading for Abnormal Psych for 5 hours and I don't feel like I've even made a dent in the assigned chapters for Tuesday night's class. 

I'm really excited for the upcoming weeks... So many things are happening and I'm anxious to enjoy the celebrations ahead and feel accomplished at the end of this last quarter of undergrad. :) 

Its officially APRIL

Spring Quarter - Day 1

seriously? 

Spring Break & Looking Ahead

Sadly this last week went by WAY WAY WAY too fast...

I'm not quite sure why it is that the week I need to rejuvenate always seems to fly by but the weeks I'm in school dying for the weekend break, drag on... hmmm

Anyways this break was full of a bunch of different things going on in our lives.

First of all we moved... 

There is nothing like watching a boy and his first dog... priceless.

They boys decided to take a nap together while I kept working... I caught them and they were too cute to pass up. I love them! 

On Wednesday my mom FINALLY took a day off of work (mini wave in celebration.. woohoo!)

She decided to take the day and go to Glen Ivy with Krissy and I. 

This is the spot where we spent most of the day lounging...

I got a delicious banana peach smoothie... It was picture worthy

Mom and Krissy enjoyed the mud... I think this sold my mom on the whole "day spa" idea.

This was the view from our afternoon lounge spot. Shameful huh? lol It really doesn't make me feel the need to study or do anything but sleep and lay in the sun... 

This Saturday we went out to eat at a delicious restaurant in Loma Linda that we discovered recently that is ALL Vegetarian. Just with that information I gave it 100 gold stars... :) There is no meat anything on the menu, which means I don't have to worry about asking whether or not the soup base is vegetable or chicken/beef. Its so nice. 

Tofu with different dipping sauces = heaven. 

Charlie tried the broccoli beef, which was really really good, and I got the mushroom chicken sweet & sour. 

After that the family decided to go to the Boba Tea House there in Loma Linda... I finally had the guts to try the peanut butter mocha blast. Happy times... :)

Charlie's taro milk snow with mini boba... 

Hopefully many of you observed Earth Hour last night. The family had a great time with it - we even decided to play a game by candlelight as a way of staying of the computers (because we would still be needing to charge them for that hour of usage...) and spend time as a family.

I hope you all had a great Spring Break!!! Classes start tomorrow and the next 10 weeks are going to be quite an experience...one that I hope I'm alive at the end of to see. :\

Graduation is 76 days away! Woot!

Jessie's Bridal Shower

Two of my dearest friends in the world are getting married in May. I'm so excited for them I don't even have words... I've known both Steve and Jessica separately and then as a couple and I couldn't have picked better people for either one of them.
Yesterday was the bridal shower so here are some of the pictures from the day

The End of Another Winter Quarter

Here we are at the beginning of yet another spring break,

the last spring break of my school career.

Needless to say this last quarter has been very difficult, 

but we have survived!! 

Quantitative Psychology is behind me

I completed a statistics course by correspondence...

and now there are only 86 days between me and graduation!

Charlie and I are moving over break...

I'm registered for 21 units this next quarter,

hopefully it won't be awful? 

Booth is grown up,

still very adorable, but no longer a puppy.

I'll post more over break... I'm off to go to sleep!
