Going home:)

Since the beginning of our second semester I have not been able to get home. Thankfully, this weekend I get to go home!:) I am so excited. Prior to moving to college I always told myself that I will never go home....I was WRONG. haha. After being away for so long you realize how much you truly miss your family. Even though my little brother tends to get on my last nerve every now and then, I still enjoy going home to see him. I have become a lot closer to my parents as well. I'm guessing that is what distance does to you. Even though it is a 2 1/2 hour drive all by my lonesome, I am pretty sure it is well worth it!

Remember.. don't ever forget the ones you love most. Family will always be at your side.

Have a good week and take care:)

Things are getting a little Stressful!

Its the beginning of second semester and that means it is suppost to be pretty laid back. Not for me. Seems like I'm always doing something. I am a social work major here at MSUM and now is the time to apply for admission into the Social Work Program. So i go to print off the application only to find that this 10page document I am looking at is the whole application. Not to mention all of the essays that go along with filling out an application. Also, to my surprise, I must complete 15 volunteer hours by Feb. 13th in order to be considered for entrance into the program. Basically I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to meet all of these deadlines. Things have been getting better, Thank God. I have been volunteering every other day at Prairie ST. Johns Psychiatric Hospital. I have fallen in love with the work I am doing there. Hopefully one day i will start my career in a setting similar to this. I guess sometimes i just need to slow down, take a deep breath, and relax. My boyfriend always reminds me of how anxious I tend to get (I take after my mother:)) Bascially what im trying to get at is that stress can sometimes be a good thing. It has showed me that I have the ability and power to conquer anything that comes my way. So here is my advice......Look for the good in all situations and you will prevail.

That is all I have to say for now!
Take care all....and guess what?! It is getting warmer:)

Bringing in a new semester!

Now its time to hit the books, study study study, and nap. Spring Semester has just begun and I am really excited about my new classes. So far they don't seem to hard (knock on wood). My day was pretty long being I had three classes plus work...bedtime will sound really nice after a day like this. One thing I have learned throughout my college experience, being I am a freshman, is that napping is very NICE! It's hard to find time to do it between homework and studying, but once you get a chance, enjoy it!

I'll catch up with you all later. Have a great week:)

P.S.....STAY WARM!
