Almost there!

I just got home from my Spanish final and am giving myself a moment to breathe.

Only two more finals, and one paper stand in the way of closing out this semester.
The semester has seemed unusually long, hard, and annoying.  Not sure if it has been all the weather drama, the violence on campus, harder courses, living situations, or a delightful combination of all of those.

Today, by 5:00 p.m. , I have a paper to turn in and then after that just one test on Wednesday and the last on Thursday.  And I have managed to arrange it so that as long as I don't completely bomb (like get a 40) on either of these tests I should have locked in an "A" for the semester in each class.  That would make the "A" tally 6.  And that would make me 6 for 6.  Is this accomplishment lost on anyone other than my mummy? Oh, and my dad, who once compared auto-diesel college to college. (Well, it's a college too, right?  I mean it has college in the name.....)

Things are going to be in a quasi-freaky mode for the month of May but should level out soon afterwards.  This week I'm wrapping up the semester (oh, and 3 birthdays, 2 mother's days, and an airshow just this weekend alone), next week we have a slew of check-up type doctors appointments (did you know it isn't good when your thyroid stops working?), the week after that we have tons of activities planned that we crammed into this space of time because they couldn't go anywhere else, and then finally, we have our trip to TX.  We're leaving on 05/26 and won't be back until June 3rdish or 4thish.  We are coming back with a lot less money and two more kids (and lots of memories...awww ain't that sweet) than we left with.

I am hoping to find something to supplement my campus job just a teeny bit so we can get out of here and I can buy my beautiful love obsession puppy before the summer is out but if not before then we are confident we are moving in August- (yay, school loan time!).

Things are looking good for the fall.  I'll have an 18 hour semester (Elementary Spanish II, Sociological Theory, Animals and Society, Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Introduction to Social Work, and Social Movements and Social Change) but we should have a place of our own and a love puppy to help me cope. 

Words of advice: if you'd like to see my shining, glorious, loving face- catch me in the summer.

PEACE!
