Holiday pictures

These are some pictures that I am FINALLY posting. The tree is our 9' tree in our great room, and the banister is ours. My cute husband is posing by our stockings. And then the other two are from New years eve - me and my friend Valerie, and of course, me and Ryan.

100% A

So A few weeks ago I took this written exam in my HR class. Although I had read the assigned 600 pages, been to every lecture, and took notes on the guest speakers, I really didn't think I did well on the exam. I felt like the questions were pulled out of thin air, and I tried my best to just answer what I knew. Well, as it turns out, I got 100%!!!!! I couldn't believe it! I actually had to close it and check again, and check the name to make sure it was mine.

We are also doing a group project in that class which we are really behind on. We need to do a 20 minute presentation on Thursday and we need to write about 25 pages on the material. We met last night and really pulled it together. I was super surprised! It looks like we are on track after all.

Also, in Stats we have had 2 exams so far (only the final left...) and I got A's on both! It sucks to be in school and have class late and all that, but it feels good to get an A!

Happy Valentines Day!

HAPPY HEART DAY! I just want to say that I love my husband, Ryan! He is so awesome and amazing and helps me whenever I ask and even when I don't ask. He does the dishes when I am in class, he goes grocery shopping with me if I want, and he always takes the trash out and brings the can back in so I never have to touch it. Plus, I had a little note from him when I came home last night and I thought it was really sweet.

We have celebrated plenty of Valentine's Days in the past, and we are both working all day, and I have class tonight until late. Perhaps we can do dinner and a movie this weekend or something. Either way, I love you and I am thinking of you!

Oh, and I made cute little lemon cupcakes with 3 shades of white and pink frosting and heart-shaped strawberries on top. YUM! Those must count for something.

ooooohhhhh we're half way there!!.....

I am more than half way done with Winter Quarter and I couldn't be more excited for it to end! It has been cold here lately with lots of snow and rain, and super cloudy. I had my second exam in stats last night and I think it went well. I got an A on the first one, and I have a good feeling about this one as well. If I got an A on this one, then I feel like I can relax a little for the final. In my other class, I had a difficult midterm last week and I get it back tonight. We are also working on a group project (well, we haven't exactly started yet....) where we have to write a 25 page paper and do a presentation as soon as 2 weeks from now. So I have a feeling it is going to be pretty busy pretty soon.

Next quarter I will have different classes, so that is kind of exciting. I will have class on Monday and Tuesday nights, so then I will get it over with early in the week.

Only 2 1/2 more years to go!!

Jury Duty

Well, I did it. I finished my two weeks of jury duty for the county. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, actually. I went every day for 2 weeks and just sat in a room with about 200 other people and just waited to see if I was going to get called for a case. I did get called for 2 seperate cases, but both times the defendant plead guilty before the trial started. It was a good experience to see how our system works, but I am glad it's over.

School

School is back for sure. This quarter is a little shorter than usual, so I was hoping it would feel quicker and easier. But now we are into it and it is hard! I have a stats midterm next week and I, along with most the rest of the class, are feeling a little behind and not too confident. I spent a while going over the formulas, and I think I am goign to be ok. I just need to spend a few more hours working on it before next week. I also have to read 279 pages between today and next thursday.....

yay for school.......

TOO LONG

I know, I know. It has been way too long since I have posted anything. I have been pretty busy. So Christmas break was good - it was so nice NOT to have school for a while! I have pictures, but I haven't taken them off of my camera yet, so I can't post them. New Years Eve was fun, too.

I have been watching a lot of The Office lately. I have to say, I think it is the funniest show ever made! Ryan and I have been watching it on DVD, and I think we are going to start over again tomorrow because it is that funny.

I have also been scrapbooking more over the last month - a few times a week, which is pretty good for me. I am really making progress toward finishing my wedding album, but it will be a while longer. I think I am going to redo my bridal shower pages bc I don't really like them that much anymore. After that, I just need to do the reception and everything else is basically done except glueing down some pics. So I am guessing it will be about 6 more pages. YAY! Finally!!!

The rest of the time, I am watching reality TV or brushing up on my financial knowledge. I am watching Suze Orman, the biggest loser, how I met your mother, rewatching Friends episodes on TBS, and any other reality show I can stand for an hour.
