Fun, but busy, weekend

Last weekend was fun and very busy. Friday night I hung out with Ryan and fell asleep really early. We were both very tired. Saturday morning I got up and cleaned the house and made breakfast before Ryan went to photograph a wedding for the entire day. Then I ran some errands and went to Sara's housewarming party. It was great to see everyone, and she has a nice place that will be perfect for watching The Office ;). Then I came home and took a quick nap (it wasn't planned, I should have been doing hw, but I was so tired...) then I finished my paper for Group Project 1 in my class. Saturday night I went to Brad and Valerie's engagement party at her house. That was nice, and brad's friends and family seem pretty cool, too. Sunday I had a group meeting for Project 1 and to start on Project 2. It was short and sweet, and best of all, close to home and NOT on campus! Sunday afternoon Valerie and I went to a free class at Archivers to learn how to make invitations (possibly for her wedding...) It was a lot of fun, and very inspiring! Sunday night I got to look through a lot of Ryan's pictures and watched some TV, and that was the weekend!

Overall, a very productive, and fun weekend!

Assistant Director, Office of Academic Services

So I was finally promoted to my new job as Assistant Director of the office. I am very excited as it offers more opportunities as well as more pay! I am still going to be advising students, but I will do more with students currently in our graduate programs, as well as more fairs & presentations. It's pretty exciting!

Well, back to my lunch & studying!

I need to go on vacation/finish school

OK, seriously, it has been 6 months since my last trip and I am going crazy here! I need some palm trees, some sand, some sun! I am not sure where we will go this year, but I don't want to spend too much money. I found this really awesome hotel in Myrtle Beach, but it is like $160 a night, and I don't know if that is really worth it.So I'll keep looking...

Work has been busy lately, but it's made the time fly which is awesome! I am so excited that it is Friday (like usual!) I want to sleep in and spend some time scrapbooking. I only need to write a couple words on one more page and I am going to be 100% finished with my wedding scrapbook! I am so excited.

This weekend we are probably going have date-night tonight - maybe dinner and a movie or something. Tomorrow I am going to go shopping with Kim, and then tomorrow night we might be having some friends over. Sunday we are having lunch with my family for mothers day. And that about wraps up the weekend.

Still this quarter, I have to read about 500 more pages in my books, write 3 papers (about 3-5 pages each) but all involve research, do 2 presentations and STUDY a lot. I have 4 weeks left of classes (including my 2 finals) but it is still a lot to do in that amount of time bc some of it is due in less than 2 weeks.... It will be soooo good when school is finished!

I have been thinking lately about what I want in my career, and that will help me keep focused when I am not in the mood to do school stuff. I really need this masters degree to move up. Although I have received an email office for this Assistant Director postion, and I have already been doing some of that workload, but I haven't gotten anything official yet (such as the real offer letter and raise...) so I am still working on that. What a long process it has been. Seriously, just about 6 months. WOW.

A nice weekend

So this weekend Gahanna opened up their Creekside district - shops and resturants along the creek area. We went to walk around for a while and Ryan took some pictures. We also had this brother and wife over for his birthday on Saturday night. Sunday I finally got to pick up some pictutes to scrapbook with! I feel like it has been way way way too long! So I am finishing the last page of my wedding scrapbook hopefully tonight and I am also working on my 2006-2007 one as well. It's hard during school to find the time to do it, but hopefuly since I have spent the last 24 hours really focusing on school stuff, I will be ahead a little and able to take some time to scrapbook. I want to get those page organizer pockets that are in 12x12 so I can just slide all my pics into there and embellishments and paper, then when I am ready to do it, I can jsut reach into a divider and pull out that project. Right now I just make piles, and they are messy and dont stay how I want them. I am excited to scrapbook more than wedding stuff like I have been doing for almost 2 years!
