So much for writing every week!

I don't really have much to say. School is going well, altho my 16 credits are stressful, and work has been pretty good. Alex's birthday is tomorrow and I can't be there AND his gift is not getting there on time. lame. Have finally received my school loans so I can afford things again. Somehow it was not as much as I expected so I have yet to buy a plane ticket for England. I am hoping to figure out soon if I can afford a trip in January and be there for my birthday. It would be the first time we were together for my birthday. Exciting stuff. I miss England so very very much and want to go back badly. It has almost been a year since I was there! hard to believe, but true.

Internship - still have not found one. I am working on it. Hopefully I will get something worked out very soon.

Sam visited last weekend. That was a very good time. I needed the break and I think she needed to get away. We did sisterly fun autumn activities like a pumpkin patch/cornmaze. A fun time was had. She even found a Halloween costume that she wanted. They were out of her size so she waited until she was back in Iowa. Turns out it was far too short for her liking and she returned it. sad. She did, however, get a sweet Halloween sweater and wore it while she was here. It got us a free train ride at the pumpkin patch. Clearly already worth the $6 investment in her future as a teacher. We also did some shopping at Mall of America. I must admit that it is nice to be so close to a big mall. I did not have the funds to buy much....but Sam convinced me into a sweater that I liked. I am a sucker for a sweater.

My grandma and Sarah both had surgery this week. Both procedures went well. That was a fun thing to add stress to my week for 3 exams, one presentation, and a paper due Monday. Ahhh the joys of being back in school.

I am currently in Group Therapy class....hate it. I have to partake in a group. Mine is only 4 people big and I have to come 45 minutes late due to having another class before it. Its a bit awkward and we all know that I am not fond of sharing with strangers I have no intention on knowing after the class....I am tolerating it. It isn't horrible. It isn't any form of 'good' either.

Been having lots of daydreams about post grad school. Its been very nice. I would take time to explain all of them, but my shift at work is over and I should be getting everything tied up for the night.

So there is a short update. Better entries to come soon. I promise :)
