Oh my, I did it again?! I forgot about this BLOG.
Okay, serious this time. I will keep up with this ...
What's new here:
Well, I just completed my first year as a graduate student. I am majoing in Industrial Organizational Psychology. My first semester was wonderful, loved it. Great way to ease on in into grad school. Second semester, I had no life. I was juggling: school, an internship, and a graduate assistantship. Also, being actively involved in SHRM (yep, I'm vice president ^_^)
Phew,
I am sleepy. Okay, catch you up on another day.
good night.

Senior Year
The story goes...
I ONLY need 4 classes to graduate this semester. Since it was my last year I figured registration would be smooth sailing. SIKE. This has been the most complicated and difficult registration. I was unable to get into three of the classes that I needed due to the class being full. I've contacted all professors--one even being the dean. I was able to get into 2 of the 3. The one class that I need is "over maxed" and there is no way I can get into the class. I just want to scream! I can sit on the floor! I just need to graduate in May as planned!
There's a somewhat upside. The class that I need will be offered in the summer, but even if I take it in the summer I'll be 22 by then. That plus my graduate application is due in July. I won't graduate until the end of July. How does that effect my acceptance? What am I going to do for fall semester if I'm unable to get into graduate school? work? move back home?
I'm not sure what I am going to do. I went to a four year school for a reason--to graduate in 4 years and not 4 1/2!
I feel like not only did I let myself down, but everyone who has supported me this far. I'm sorry.

I am...
1. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
My Dad. Even though we weren't that close when I was younger as I have gotten older, I realized that he probably didn't know how to bond with us kids, because not only was he always working, but the fact that he never really had a childhood himself. He's had a hard life growing up and I understand now why he wants his children to be the best that they can be. He's changed a lot over the years and he's trying every day to make our lives better.
2. What is the one dream for your life you most look forward to achieving?
I want to eventually live in a house where I have bay windows, a huge kitchen, a little bunny farm, and 2 dogs. I would also like to be able to afford to take care of my parents and Grandma.
3. Who has the capacity to make you angrier than anyone else in your life, and what in particular does he or she do to make you so angry?
I read this and my automatic thought was ......! There was a point in my life that I don't know why, but whatever this person did just really drove me crazy! But being around this person just made me realize that I can't help anyone that doesn't want help. I can't take on anyone's burdens when they won't admit to it. ...and because of this I will never allow myself to be taken advantage of again! ah. Let's just say this person brought out the BITCH in me!
4. Who has the capacity to make you feel loved more than anyone else in your life, and what in particular does he or she do to cause you to feel so lovable?
My Grandma. She's always been like a mother to me. Since I've been away off to school, she calls me frequently. When I come home she calls to see if I'm on my way. When I get home she provides a meal. She's never made me feel as if I wasn't good enough. She sees me as I am and accepts me for what I have done and what I haven't. I can be her presence and just feel loved knowing that she's just glad to be in my company as I am her.
5. How do you feel about yourself—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?
Physically? I am "healthy" as someone put it.
Emotionally-I am still sometimes emotionally unstable not knowing what to say or do but I've come a long way with dealing with my emotions.
Mentally-The psychology student in me says, I am not a harm to myself or others therefore I am in a healthy mental state.
Spiritually-Confused. I look around and see the people that I once looked up to as spiritual leaders--all fallen. Where do we draw the line between religion and culture? I still believe there is a God and he is great. I need to work on my relationship with him. I need to find him again.
6. When do you feel inspired? How does it feel when you are inspired?
When I'm hungry. I look around and see what I have and wa-la a culinary masterpiece!
7. What is the most important thing in the world to you?
Tolerance.
8. If you had one day to live, how would you want to spend it?
I would want all my friends and family to be with me ...and we go house hunting, shopping in the fresh market, cooking and eating together, just having a good time. Talk about all the good times we've had.
9. When do you feel most afraid?
When the closet is open! You just don't know what's in there at night...
10. If you could accomplish only one thing during the rest of your life, what would it be?
I wanna have a baby and be a Momma. I think I'm a bit more excited to be a Grandma...because I want to be the "cool" Grandma. I wanna bake cookies have my house all warm and fuzzy and just filled with happy memories.
11. What bores you? Why is this?
Driving TO and FROM Valdosta. HELLO! It's like 4 hours alone in the CAR! I don't have cruise control anymore so I actually have to step on the gas the whole time, NO CD player so I'm constantly changing radio stations, and there's just no one with me to pass the time.
12. How important is money to you? How much time do you spend thinking about it?
MONEY? It comes and goes. I don't think about it too much, maybe that's my problem? I don't think you should hold on to it. Work for it, buy what you want, and don't be so frugal. Buy things for yourself and other people in your life. If you were to die tomorrow you can't take it with you anyways, but you die knowing that you bought you wanted!
13. What is the role of God in your life? Do you believe there is a God, and if so, what is God like in relation to you?
There is a God. He's like an old friend that I don't talk to that much anymore. I know he's there, I'll say "hi" every now and then, but we're just not that close anymore.
14. What three interests are you most passionate about?
I'm not sure, but here are 3 things that I spend most of my time doing.
-I am a student and I plan on graduating this May so I am usually always studying
-Everyone's gotta eat--so cooking. If I'm not studying I'm looking up recipes (seriously)
-I spend most of my free time with Jeremiah
15. Who is your biggest enemy, and precisely how and why did this person become your enemy?
Enemy? I don't have any.
16. How important is food to you? Do you feel disciplined when it comes to eating?
FOOD. I've eaten too much.
17. Does the idea of being married to the same person for the rest of your life sound appealing to you—or not so appealing? What is there about it that you would especially like or not like?
Appealing. I believe in marriage. I believe that there is that one person out there for me. It's nice to know that you have someone to be with you, to catch you when you fall, to help, to be loved, to want you, and to know that they share the same hopes and dreams as you do...
18. Do you consider yourself emotionally healthy? In what ways are you especially healthy, and in what ways could you use improvement?
healthy.
19. Do you argue very much with the people closest to you? How does it usually turn out?
Not so much anymore.
20. What specifically would you like your closest friends to say about you at your funeral?
That she was a great daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandma, and friend. She lived her life to the fullest inspiring people and following her dreams. She will always be remembered and missed dearly
