Two Allophones Of The Phoneme /p/.

The first week of classes if finally over. Week two begins. I think I can handle this semester. I still have yet to get my head into studying again, but it will happen eventually. I know it's an awful way to think about it, but I would rather tell myself the truth instead of lie and tell myself that I will just dive right on in and study every day.

I have done more than I thought though. I made flash cards for my Clinical Phonetics And Phonology class. Basically I am ahead in that class. I think tomorrow I will take out my planner and write in all the quizzes, then I'll write in all my assignments, and I could even write in what I should have read for each class and each day...okay wow I am getting ahead of myself. Baby steps. Let's just start with attending all classes. Deal. I can do that.

The daily gym routine is back in order, well except for today...let's just say it has been a hectic morning. . . well hectic Saturday, Sunday and now Monday morning. Saturday I went to Boise for my sister's Figure Competition :) She did AMAZING! Kudos. Then after the competition, shopping commenced. I now have a black pair of TOMS along with a red pair, blue pair, and a white pair. At least I am giving 4 children who needs shoes, shoes. Okay so the hectic part, I wanted to go to Idaho Falls like SUPER bad...so I was searching for a way to get home early from Boise. Thank gods, Tyler and Hillairy left early, allowing me to get home by 7 PM. Half way home I realize that I forgot my keys in my sister Meagan's car...in my purse...with my phone charger. Stage one, break into Mema's house to get my spare car key. Get my car, track down Lakota to get my spare key for my apartment, then make it home to get some clothes to change into and get to Idaho Falls, before it is too late. I was hoping to get out of Pocatello by 7:30, when I wasn't actually able to get out till 8:30 because....you guessed it, family from Kansas ended up being at Mema's house. How lucky, right? A short 5 minute visit turned into playing Host for an hour. Gaaaa!

Eventually I get out of town and back to Idaho Falls. Huzzah, victory is mine. After a very crazy and unplanned evening, it is time to say goodbye, again. This time I didn't cry until I got out of the city limits :) Haha, I am getting better and keeping myself together.

I miss seeing these. Yes childish, but It would make dating so much more fun. I dunno if it is wise to admit, but I am Totally in a vulnerable stage at the moment. If I was playing Scrabble with someone, and They put this on the table, I'd totally Kiss them.

Registered, Finally. I dunno what it is about this summer but I have a huge lack of motivation. No motivation to work, see people, do anything related to school, get my car fixed, no motivation. After a huge break down at the beginning of the semester, I decided to get BACK on the school train. I almost gave up and dropped out. I was convinced that I was never going to finish school and that my student loans were going to eat me alive. I got to the moment where I ended up hating what I was studying, mind you that I wasn't taking any classes towards my major, except Sign Language. The last semester was so hard I nearly cried every day because of how tough it was. I think back to just a few months ago and wonder how I even did it. I am not one for crying over school work but I remember 4 times where I could not handle the stress anymore and I would leave campus in tears. Crying over how hard Technical and Professional Writing was, how hard it was to create so many documents and do it
