A Library Of Living Life.

Caution: This is my Feel Bad blog of the year.  Little over half way through the first semester of grad school and I feel like I am ready to give up. School is exponentially harder than I could have ever imagined. It isn't the coursework that is difficult, rather being able to manage time. It is so hard to make sure I set time aside for school, work, family, boyfriend, friends, and just for myself. I feel like school has taken over my life. Even though I have class on Tuesday and Thursday, I feel like every moment of everyday I am trying to find time to study, finish study guides, complete take home exams, work on projects, read all the articles and chapters of all my books, and do stupid assignments. When do I get to take a break and relax for just a little bit. I try to allow my weekends for me, but that just isn't possible. School has the majority of my time, and the other "free" time I have is dedicated to work. Unlike so many of the other grad students, I...

One of my life's goal has been fulfilled.  Remember that little concert I was excited for?  Well it happened!!! Boooooya!  Mika is officially my favorite performing artist, ever.  Lady Gaga was great, but Mika was simple amazing. The coolest part of the whole concert was how small of  a concert it was. Maybe 300 people max. It was such a  intimate setting and the whole concert was acoustic! HELL YES! All together, the whole day was super.  Day's agenda: Wake Up, smile at my boyfriend, shower, breakfast, The Winco, FORGOT the tickets, home, tickets, I-15 to SLC!  IKEA for candles, rods and hooks, Buca di Beppo, 30 minute hide and seek  with The Venue, Mika *angels sing hallelujah chorus*, drive home, bed at 2am. Be jealous! Getting kind of excited!! Yeah, this is my boyfriend...Attractive! Our "Not Impressed" faces. Then we experienced the awkward moment when we realized the shitt...

Sooooooo,  Just Sayin'.

Welp, here I am sitting...waiting for all the schools I applied to to lemme know how badly they want, or don't want me. The suspense is killing me. I am such an impatient person and having to wait months before I find out if I am good enough to attend a graduate program at several universities is just killer. I am a little panicked because my friend Shawna Del Rae heard that ISU is  only taking 6 new grad students this year. 6!!! And that this year the ISU Audiology  program has had the most applicants, ever. Great. I feel like I am in good standing  with the majority of the staff, but still...it is really scary knowing that  my future rests upon being chosen out of who knows how many  applicants. A little nerve racking. Yikes. Not only am I stressing about the possibility of NOT getting accepted  to a grad program, I am stressing about the size of my head It keeps getting bigger. Nonsense you say, NO, seriously...Proof. I hav...

I dunno what the hell is going on outside my apartment, but it sounds like a truck is repeatedly running over the curb, and hitting a metal garbage can  full of pop cans. Every time I look out the  window, there is no truck, and no metal can full of pop cans. Maybe I am losing it.  Ummmm, guess who is going to see Mika, LIVE in SLC?! That's right, this Homo! And guess who else? NATALIE FREAKING CUTHBERT!!! Eeeek!! We are gonna have an ultimate freak out!  I cannot wait!! It is gonna be one hellofa concert! Oh, I am taking Mike too :P He needs to meet Natalie. All I can say is this is gonna be one crazy weekend! Spring Break cannot come fast enough! 

For Starters, New Years Eve at Charley's with Mike Aka Boyfriend :) Now you all have seen a photo of him. He is real, no fake boyfriend here. Such a cutie, and Mike is cute too :P Myself with the lovely Wendy! Wendy is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever had the privilege to know.  Here are the Gays :) And some random Mini-Mexi-Mama. She was absolutely in love with all of us. Never got her name, but definitely snapped a photo of her with us Gays :) Gettin' my diggity dance on with Kaylee! Such a sexy gal!  Partying with Mary and the Gays. There is a lot of awkward hand placement here. The dancing crew! 3 years ago I met these lovelies at Charley's and they accepted me into their group. I could have never asked for greater friends. I owe a lot of my confidence to these 3 people. I love you Brad, Jodi and Robyn! Thank you for being so kind. Leave it to Derek to photo bomb a great photo with John! 12:00, Midni...

Holy Anti-Blog Batman! I can't believe I am really off  the blog train. I never thought this would happen. I was such an avid blogger before and now I rarely even check my  stats. So much for this being a great stress reliever.  We will see if I can get back into it. Neuro class is kicking my ass. I do not like this material. I used to think I was pretty smart, but when I am  in this class I just sit there not understanding what is happening. The thing that I do not really understand is  the size of the structures talked about in the class. I would like to know exactly how BIG a neuron is. Does a neuron stretch from the brain ALLLLLL the way to your toe? Or what? I just don't get it. Professors show you all these diagrams of what they look like, but they never tell you  the size of anything we talk about. Up until a year ago I thought  my lungs were each the size of basketballs.  Dear Professors of all kinds: I...

END OF THE SEMESTER!  Huzzah, I made it. It has been such an awful semester. One of the hardest I have had. I know I  say that at the end of each semester, but this time, I truly mean it. Not only was it the semester from Hell, but I am 100% convinced that one of my professors  H-A-T-E Hates me. I have had two separate  issues with this teacher. I guess I probably deserve  both of the e-mails I received from her... but it appears that she goes out of her way to  get under my skin.  First confrontation: In ALL of my Distance Learning classes there is this  student at the Meridian campus, let's call her Dirka-Dirka. She is one of the Non-Traditional students. Now I don't have anything against Non-Traditional students, I adore them. Proud that  they want to better their lives by furthering their education. ANYWAY, Dirka-Dirka has to make comments during every class period. And not just comments, but co...

Good God, where have I been? I swore that I would continue writing after my last absence...apparently that was a lie. As most of you know it is the New Year...2013! And we are all still alive. Not gonna lie, I was  a little nervous for 12/21/12. Effing Mayans, scaring the world like that. As for my life, what is going on? So much, but can be said in a single word. Bliss. Now come on, really? Bliss? Yes. Things in my life have  been going as planned, well planned as unplanned can get.  For NOW, lemme catch you up for the month of November. Last time I wrote, I finally got some Denver photos up. Since then, I have officially become  Not Gay, or feeling "whatever" about religion, but YES, IAR.. In A Relationship. As official as can get, FB official.  Is it silly that being in a relationship is such a big deal?  Nah, it is just such a great feeling. Forgot what it was like  to be in Like with someone that ACTUALLY...
