John and I found an apartment today!!! We're moving to Concord on the 13th! I'm so excited! So if anyone wants to help us move, Friday night's the big moving party! We're looking for all the help we can get, especially getting me out of my apartment. At least with Johns stuff we have a little more time to get his stuff out of his parents house. So far we have one recruit, thanks Chris!
I can't wait!!! :-D

Holy Cow
Okay, it's been well over a month since my last update. My apologies to those who look forward to their monthly dose of my ramblings. Things have been so busy lately, and are just now starting to wind down. I'm actually taking a break from a take home final I've been working on this afternoon. It's the only final I have this semester! WOO-HOO!!!! Can I just tell you how happy that makes me?
Overall, things have been going well. I'm not doing poorly in school, even though I thought at times this semester I was going to fail for certain. Plans for the wedding are coming along very smoothly, which makes me happy. I'm trying not to stress about that though. I just keep telling myself that if something doesn't go right, the only people that will know will be the members of the wedding party and my and Johns families. That thought has been keeping me sane for a lot of it.
Tomorrow I have an interview at the Rochester District Office for the possibility of getting a job there. It's not a formal interview, but it's just a chance for me to talk to the people there, say "this is what I'm interested in" and for them to say "this is what you'd be doing" and things like that. Then I have another interview in Concord on Friday. That one is going to be very fast though, because it's going to be during the lunch break of a training I'll be at that day. I'm a little nervous, but I think they'll go fine. I hope they will anyway. I need to make sure I print off copies of my résumé by tomorrow though.
I can't believe mothers day is this weekend already! I am going to mail my mom a card, because I can't get home this weekend to see her, but fortunately, since my Aunt Donna is coming home that weekend, we're going to get together and do something with my grandmother that day, since Mothers day is Sunday, my dads birthday is next Tuesday, and my grandmothers birthday is the Tuesday after that, we're just going to have a big party or something that day. I have to figure out what John and I are going to do as far as going home that weekend-it was another poor planning for me weekend. I'm going to be in Concord, then I'd have to go back to Dover, then back through Concord to get home that night. I guess I'll have to, since I think we're going to have to go home Friday night. My sister is going to the prom that night, so I may call Chris and Theresa and see if they want to get together with John and I.
Anywho - I need to get back to work on this final now, I suppose. Less than one week of classes left!!!

All Kinds of Stuff
Wow, I'm so behind in this thing! Oh well. I've been super busy with school and everything lately that I really haven't had time to update my journal.
School is going well, for the most part. Despite my several near-breakdowns, I've been handling things pretty well. I just finished up my first paper, and I still have two more to write. If I can make it through April 16th, I'll be all set. The rest of this semester will be pretty much all downhill from there. Classes are going pretty well, and I still (kind of) like my internship. It can be stressful, or there are days that I don't have anything to do. Since I can't carry my own case load, I pretty much just do whatever other people have me do. Monday, though, I'm interviewing Detective Harrington from the Dover P.D. to see how they work in conjunction with DCYF. Then I'm spending the rest of the afternoon working on paper #2. I'm feeling much more optimistic than I was a week to a week and a half ago. Maybe some of that has to do with the fact that I just took brownies out of the oven, and some of it has to do with the fact that it is beautiful outside, but either way, I'm still feeling good.
Wedding plans are going smoothly too. We've gotten all of the big stuff situated, so now the rest is just details. That makes me happy! John and the guys still need to get their tuxes though, but I think that's the last major thing for anyone. After that it will just be picking flowers, table arrangements, and so on.
Anyway, I guess I really only have one last thing to say - CONGRATULATIONS KERRY AND DAVE!!!! I'm so happy for you guys!
Alright, I need to get going. I have a ton of work to get done between now and 3pm. Catch you all later!

Stuff and stuff
I love Saturdays! I swear, Saturday has to be the most perfect day of the week! I don't have to get up early, I don't have to go anywhere, don't have to worry about classes or work or internships... it's just a wonderful day! It's nice to have a day in the week where you don't have to do anything at all. I spent a good chunk of the morning in my pj's and in bed, then I went to the gym to get buff, then John and I went to his house and I typed up part of a paper for my seminar.
School is going well so far this semester. I haven't had much of anything to get graded on yet. I had to write a learning contract for my internship and field seminar. I got a 93 on that. I had a quiz in my human behavior class. That didn't go so well, but oh well. I had a presentation for that class too, and hopefully I did well enough on it to pull the grade up a bit. I'll just have to study much harder for the next one. I need to do well in my classes this semester! It's amazing how concerned I am with my grades now. Did I tell you all that I made the deans list last semester? That's never happened before! EVER! I'm GOING to do well though. I've been working really hard this semester too.
I love my internship too. I love getting to go there. I'm starting to feel like I know whats going on, so that's good. I just started writing an agency analysis for my seminar, and that has actually been kind of fun, because it has allowed me to learn so much about my agency, and talk to people I haven't gotten to talk to much there.
I'm kind of sick of my actual job though. It pays well and all, but I'm so sick of the job! Not much I can do about that though. I keep telling myself that it's only until August, then I can officially start with the state.
I joined Planet Fitness this week. I've gone every day since Tuesday, so that's been fun. I forgot how much I enjoy going to the gym. It would be nice if there were someone there that I knew, or that would go with me, but I kind of like being able to work out at my own pace too. I get up and go before work in the morning, I'm usually there around 6am or so. I've been doing both cardio and weight training. It's helped me feel quite a bit better about myself.
But, things over all are going pretty well. The wedding plans are coming along, so thats fun. We're working on the photographer and florist still, but we're making headway on both. I just can't wait until August!

Valentines Day
You know, it's strange what being an a really, really good relationship can do to one's opinion about Valentine's day. I started off the whole "Valentine's Season" by telling John that I think it's a pointless holiday, blah blah blah, and now that it's here, I kind of like it a lot! John and I celebrated Valentine's last night, because I have to work all day then have class tonight. We made a romantic candlelight dinner last night, then just spent the night being a couple... it was so nice!
I wish we could have the day together today too, but unfortunately that doesn't work out so well. Next year at this time though, we'll be able to see each other on Valentine's day!
Anyway, I need to finish getting ready for work - I'm running so behind this morning!

Ready to graduate
Oh my goodness, things are so busy!!! My semester is going pretty well, but I'm just so tired of having to be on the go all the time. It seems like no matter where I am, I'm getting ready to go somewhere else. I'm also tired of being broke! My classes are more or less interesting, which is nice. I'm taking SW 623 (Practice II), SW 551 (Human Development II), SW 640 and 640 A (Internship and Seminar). My days look kind of like this: Monday - Work 8-5, class from 6-9. Tuesday - Work from 8-10, Class from 11-12:30, Work from 1-5. Wednesdays - Seminar from 8:40-either 10 or 11 depending on if I have supervision that week, internship from 12-4:30. Thursday - Work from 8-10, class from 11-12:30, internship from 1-4:30, RCIA from 7-9. Friday - intern all day. By the time I get home at night, I'm exhausted. But, it makes the weekends that much nicer when they come. But when I say that I'm ready to graduate, I mean that it'll be great to be able to come home from work, not have to do homework, and be involved in other things without feeling like I should be somewhere else.
There are definitely some good things going on though. I still get to see John on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, which is REALLY nice. Monday and Tuesday days make me so ready for Tuesday nights by the time I get there! I will become officially Catholic in just over a month, which is really exciting. It doesn't seem like it would be that big a deal to most people, but this is a very big thing for me, and I'm very excited about it! Also, spring break is also just over a month away, which will be a much needed spring break. I was going to take the week off from work, but I think instead I'm going to just take off Wednesday all together so I can schedule a doctors appointment and a dentist appointment and an appointment to have a dress altered for my friend Theresas wedding.
ALSO, the wedding plans (speaking of weddings) are going really well! I picked up my dress on Saturday :-D and I didn't want to take it off when I tried it on that night! I'm going crazy not being able to show John, but it will be so much fun that day! I feel like a princess with it on!
Okay, I need to go shower so I can start the day. At least I'm feeling pretty good today, which makes a huge difference!
People start dropping me e-mails! I miss everyone!
