Not blogging anymore

Yes, I am working on dissembling the blog for good. I don't have the time and ambition to blog any longer.

However, I am still here - so e-mail me or call me.

Excitement!

So much has been going on! Life just keeps taking different turns and it seems to get better and better.

D and I went ring shopping last Friday and looked around. Then on Monday, he took half a day off of work and we went looking at rings again and I found the ring I was destined to get. It is white gold with 4 diamonds spaced along the band and the band has a ribbon-like look that just sparkles and feels good to have on my finger. There are no parts that stick out that I can scratch someone with - it's a beautiful and wonderful ring. D took me to Bridgits Cross as they sized it for me and we sat and enjoyed our afternoon together. We also chose his ring and put it in a payment plan so we can get his when we can - it actually matches mine - diamonds spaced along the ring but he has a thicker band without the ribbon emphasis like mine but has a straight line through the center of the ring.

Also, I am waiting anxiously next to the phone. I am waiting to hear about a job - one that I feel would be perfect and fun to do. I just want to jump right in and start working. Also, I have some of Bill's papers to do yet, he needs them handed in by this weekend. I've gotten pretty far - not too bad. :-)

Keeping our fingers crossed

1 out of 3, I just tried on my interview outfit for tomorrow mornings meeting... looks good :) I quite excited, a bit nervous, but I know that will pass quickly.

I am looking forward to everything!!

I have been so busy, It has been CrA Zy! I just turned in my final grades for students at Upward Bound, we had our huge dance/potluck and last teacher meetings and etc etc etc.

I have another possibility for the future (August) in case all else fails. So much to do!

Computer is doing an awful sound... my $99 power supply is smacking some wires next to the fan... I am NOT happy. I may just call the company and tell them off.

Everything else is good - lots of grading has gone down and now I am free - but terribly poor. hehe There are NO movies, outings, eating out, or anything in my recent future. Just doing cheap activities. Ah well. I will be working on Bill's stuff anyway. :-)

Hope all is well with everyone else!

Nope, Just off the face of the blog-o-sphere

B-Dawg, I'm still here, just extremely busy. Sorry everyone!

Let's see... I am teaching at Upward Bound at BSU and having a complete blast! This is one of the more fun jobs I've gotten to do. I am teaching high school, and it gives me a chance to see what it's like.

I love the program - I hope to go back to it some summer.

I am also busy looking for a job for the fall. I have no idea what I am doing yet, and the UB program is ending NEXT week! It's crazy. I hope that I may get called for an interview for the Resident Hall Director job this week - I am looking so forward to the interview and hopefully working for res. life again. I love BSU and that would be exactly what I would want to do.

I did get a call from a comm. college in Grand Rapids but it is for part time and the problem with that is the amount of gas to drive back and forth and the difference of that and being paid a part time salary - I am not too sure how well that will go.

I am also house sitting on the side. Which I have been aminly going in everyday to check on it and make sure everything's ok. I haven't had the time to really move in or anything. But, she had said it would be ok if I couldn't.

I have a meeting in about hal an hour - so I am going to be a bit brief.

Oh, and I am also still working with Bill on papers and getting him set up. Hopefully all that works - but one problem is that my computer died at my house and all it does is circle around the Windows XP intro screen and then back to the "safe loading" section. Crazy stuff! I am missing my computer, but I am so busy that it hasn't hurt me yet.

Hope this helps you guys figure out what I am doing.

I am graduated with a masters.... I am summer employed... am am falll unemployed.... and I am hoping everything works out.

Oh, and PS, D and I are still together and we talk about the future all the time. Everything is wonderful in that arena. So glad I have him by my side, I'd be lost without him.

It's been almost a month

Yes, I am still alive. And kicking.

I've been teaching Upward Bound writing classes and trying to find that job for fall. At least I was able to get a summer job - and one I love!

I just finished planning my lesson plan for tomorrow and am excited to see what the students do with the project.

I have B's papers still and I am hoping he isn't too stressed as of now. Hopefully all of that work out all right. Also, DE reminded me she needed a house sitter so I may move into town for a bit - I guess a bit cheaper on gas or so... or I'll probably just stop in and check the house off and on. I don't know - I'll just call her tomorrow and see what we can do.

Haven't seen Aspen in a while - she's so busy with two jobs,its crazy! And of course I am always running around, either work, to D's parent's house or in town for some reason. Having lunch with D everyday, though. He works on campus so I can find him whenever and we eat lunch and discuss everything.

I guess thats all I have - so busy its just nuts. Hopefully all the work will bring forward a job for the fall :D

Week 2

Week two is almost done. I haven't gotten any positive replies to anything I have applied for yet. I guess I just keep right on going and cross my fingers.
I plan on applying for the Alumni Events position at BSU, and if anything happens at Residential Life, that job also. My hope is that one of those will work or I can find a teaching position in the summer job search. It seems the jobs just pop up from time to time and I could be lucky one day.
I have many things to do yet, and so little time. I was promising myself to take it easy this summer this morning, because I have been worrying and tense these last few months... or year and I can feel it in my shoulder muscles - very sore and tight.

To do list:

  • Pick up reference form from RL
  • Fix up application packet for alumni event at BSU
  • Go through my letters, resume's, and Curriculum Vitae and print off some good copies
  • Organize my job search folder on desk for easy application
  • Post my information at monster jobs
  • Print off some more of my Transcripts and order some more official ones from UNT and BSU
  • Relax and Enjoy my Summer!!

Organized Chaos

Yes, yes. I am all up in there with my organized self.. procrastinating and fulfilling to do lists at the same time. How does she do it folks? She does it with a twitch of the eye for 12 hours straight and a dazed nap of 3 hours in the middle of the day because she feels exhausted after a good 8 hours sleep at night. Sleeping must be so hard on me.

Ok, well, here it goes.
  • Wake
  • Dress
  • Breakfast
  • Pay bill - mail out bill
  • Drop off Thesis at HS office for RW and letters for others (and DE's book!)
  • Stop in at Residential Life - speak to RL and perhaps LK? Or find MM or SH
  • If I have Forms filled out, bring to Concordia LV (Grab up Aspen)
  • Go home, eat lunch
  • Work on bills and calendar
  • Work on my resumee and letter for Fall job (Alumni)
  • Clean up around house
  • Make Angel Food Cake for party?
  • Get ready for my brother and his wife!!!! Whoohoo
