SPRING BREAK!!

You know, I think about spring break, and I get really excited because it means I'm out of school. But really, I shouldn't be. I have a 10 page paper I have to write & 5 hours of observation I have to finish at Montevallo Elementary School. Speaking of which - I have exciting news (probably not to you guys, but it is for me). I am going there to start getting some graduate clinic hours. I am helping with screenings over there April 7th. It kind of relieves me that it means I will be getting hours because we have to have at least 375 to graduate with our master's degree. Anyway, another little bit of excitement for me this week was that I got to do a little bit of therapy on Wednesday. One of the clinicians was out, so I took over one of the kids. It was scary, but awesome! Anyway, I am looking forward to being off on Easter. We are going to try to plant some juniper bushes in our yard this weekend (in between the rain). We bought them last Sunday before we went over to Valerie & Alex's for lunch and some together time. It was a lot of fun. Thinking back on it, I am excited because after spring break, I have less than 4 weeks of class, graduation on the 7th of May, and VACATION!!!

Papers and Deadlines

Well, last night was very stressful. I had a paper that I have been trying to do all week, but things just kept coming up. So when I finally sat down to do it last night, I began to have writer's block. I had already woken up with a headache, which never helps anything. I knew exactly what I was talking about, I just didn't know how to put it. So I worked on it until about 10:45 last night before giving up. I decided to get up with David this morning and finish it. I was glad I did. It was so much easier. My headache still hasn't gone away, but oh well. I think I really need sleep. I am not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. There is so much I need to do and not nearly enough time. I also have a ten page research paper due next month that I need to start working on. Anyway, Casper is doing fine. He has learned to use his "pain" to his advantage. He is totally pitiful. If you pick him up, he is fine. If you pick him up when he is doing something he isn't supposed to, he cries and sometimes hisses. Other than that, he has been very sweet ever since we got him back. Maybe he thinks going to the vet was punishment for being bad before and he doesn't want to go back again...

Pathetikitty

Well, we got our kitty back today. He has been totally pitiful!! He just wants to be held and loved and he keeps eating (he is spoiled on his food). He doesn't have any stitches from getting "fixed" and he has glue on his paws to keep them from bleeding. Anyway, we went to pick him up this morning. David and I spent at least more than half a day together since he was off and my first class was cancelled. I was bad and skipped by jazz dance class. I don't regret it. Well, I know this has been short, but I have to go to clinic - yet another thing I'm frustrated with right now...More updates Friday probably...

Acceptance

I found out yesterday that I was accepted to graduate school yesterday! I was very excited. Unfortunately, they aren't going to have the autism clinic next year - or at least as far as we have bene told. Anyway, I am very relaxed today because by food science class was cancelled. I haven't had to rush around like a crazy person. I went to the library to get some books for a 10 page research project I have to do on TBI. I'm not looking forward to that. Well, I have to go to Montevallo Elementary School on Friday to try to do some observation for my exceptional learners class. I only have 5 hours left, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I think I'm going to be placed with the Eclipse program. That will be exciting because some of our graduate clinicians work over there too. Anyway, Monday will be a very sad day for me. Casper is going to get fixed & declawed. The vet is keeping him until Wednesday. My first class of the day is cancelled (which I just found out today) and I'm going to be a hellian child and skip my dance class. David & I are going to be able to have lunch together. I'm very excited considering this is a rarity. I feel sorry for my little kitty but I'm really tired of him climbing up my pants and the curtains.

It's Wednesday....Again...

Well, this is my first blog. I found out about this a few months ago from Valerie. We thought it would be a good way to keep everyone in touch and up to date with us. I'm not sure how often I will be able to post things...I'm not making any guarantees, but it will probably be a couple of times a week. Anyway, I am sitting here at school, just waiting for my next class to start. Wednesdays are sooo hectic for me. I am at school from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. I only have 4 short breaks in between. Oh, news update - for those of you who know my cousin Katrina, they found out yesterday that they are having a girl! Congratulations!
