Bad Blogger Award!!

I am back!!!!

I realize that I deserve the bad blogger award of 2011, but massive changes have been happening in my life.

I am into week 2 of my new job! 

My new job that I love. My new job that I really feel like I can help support and provide people with the skills that they need to live functional less chaotic lives! I am not going to lie. I am still quite nervous at what I do. Its hard to believe that I have such a big impact on people's lives and that type or responsibility it somewhat intimidating, but I am absolutley prepared for this. Grad school for 2.5 years taught me well and I am confident I will succeed. But I guess being nervous is normal right? If I wasn't nervous that may mean I was cocky, and being cocky is never good when your trying to help others.

Fiance and I spent all weekend moving in to our new apartment. 

Please let me express to you how much I hate moving. But now that we are in and mostly settled I am loving it. When we woke up Sunday morning there was a huge lightening storm that blew our router for our internet, so we just finally got internet back today. Hence why I am now posting!!
I am in love with our apartment and all of our new furniture.
Especially our couch!!

Yep I know worlds commmmmfiest couch ever!!!
Now its not even 9pm and I am about to get ready for bed!! 
Hahah ridiculous. 
 Soooo my posts should be back on schedule soon. 
I went for a nice run today where my ipod stopped working which was frustrating so I have to attempt to figure that out tomorrow!!!
Otherwise, I'm glad to be back!!

Weekend Filled With Work

 A few months ago, I posted about a huge test that I had to take in order to be able to graduate from my program.

[which you can find here.]

I didn't think I did very well on the test, but I passed so I was super excited.

Well on Saturday, I has not take another huge test for my degree. This test I didn't need to be able to pass my program but it was quite important and much more expensive.

So once again, I am sitting here completely and utterly clueless about how I did.

I probably should have studied more but I just had no time due to other school work, internship and work.

Maybe if I had a girly, calming studying area like these:

I'd be more tempted to study.

However, in 8 weeks I'll find out what the results are!

Due to this test, my entire Friday and Saturday morning were completely filled with studying and practice quizzes.

Then working all night after that.

Today my day does not consist of running the half marathon that I wanted to run 

[even though the wind is outrageous right now]

but today I am sitting in front of my computer all day inputting data.

At least I am getting paid for it, but still, I can think of things I would much rather be doing!!!

At least tonight my soon to be brother-in-law [my fiances identical twin] are going to see Scream 4 together.

I had to be able to do something fun this weekend and fiance is working all day!!

Well this was a little rant of my over-productive not so fun filled weekend.

Next weekend should be a blast though.
Going home for Easter, bridesmaid dress shopping, picking out invitations, nieces birthday party and grandparents coming to visit!!

Can not wait!!

Thanks, for everyones input on the dresses. I will be sure to post when I pick one!

How is/was everyone's weekend?

xoxo.

Papers, Papers and More Papers and an Award

2 weeks 6 days and counting!

That's all I have left for school this semester.

Not like I will have much of a winter break considering, I intend on getting two jobs, if I can ever find one studying for the NCE, which is the National Counselor Examination. 
However, I have 3 papers, one which I am working on right now. I am currently on 18 pages and trying to reduce it to 15 and still have another paragraph left. It just a re-edit of the paper we had to write last semester, and you just tweak it to add the experiences you've had from this semester as well.  It started out at 22, so I am making some progress. 
I also have 2 tests left, one take home and one open book in class.

I think I can, I think I can...

So I am having an awfully difficult time trying to find a part time job for the holiday season/next semester. I will be entering into full time internship and will need a job, because the job I currently have is during the day..

Hmph. 

I have quite a lot of retail experience, but it seems that no one is hiring near me!

Just keep trying!!

7 Facts About Myself:

1) I light candles all the time!! I love to have candles burning and my apartment to smell delicious. The Slatkin & Co. ones form Bath and Body Works are my favorite.

2) I have never shopped at Lush, but intend on it soon. I had never heard of Lush before I became a blogger, and will be heading back home twoard NYC soon to shop there. I don't have a tub right now in my apartment, but as soon as I move I will be buying multiple bath bombs!!

3) I want to get an iphone quite badly. I have a blackberry and I am coming to hate it. It freezes all the time, and although I love BBM, I can't stand how slow it is!!

4) I have yet to find a Wine I like. I want to like wine so badly because it looks delicious, but I just find them awful! [Any good suggestions?]

5) I am going to a fancy gala soon & going to be wearing a long beautiful black and grey dress and can not wait get all done up!! [Pictures will be posted!!]

6) I use to have my lip pierced from 18 to 20- I took it out but the hole never closes!

7) I have a severe addiction to strawberry milk, root beer floats, slim jims, and balsamic vinegar!
