What's this...another post already

Yeah, its only been a week and here I am posting again already. I managed to wake up pretty early this morning, took a shower, and started a load of laundry...and I don't have to be at work till 10. How productive...I've also already turned in an assignment online that isn't due until 5. Praise God I've managed to stay on top of things this quarter and working pretty steady. Aside from the very beginning of the quarter when I freaked out and saw how much I had to do...I've been handling it pretty well. For any of you who don't know how I am about school...I usually don't handle the pressure well. Some people can deal with it fine and actually work better under it but I don't see myself as one of those people...and if I don't get cracking on one project in particular soon...I'm gonna be in some trouble.

Lets see whats been going on...yeah I said that school is going pretty well. I've been getting good grades on all my tests so far...either A's or high B's and usually those B's are the high scores in the class. Last thursday I had a test and didn't know how it would have ended up. Like I said earlier...I don't work well under pressure. Well I was with PC after my last afternoon class that day hanging out until my evening class that I had a test in. PC and I went to Best Buy so he could buy a TV and I went with him to take it home...well my car was here at my house the whole time. This TV is super nice but it was bigger than the one he had before so he had to rearrange his room in order to make it work...and I had exactly an hour until my test started. Well if there is one thing I've learned about PC...you don't get in his way when he is on a mission to get something done. I ended up standing the doorway of his room while he was rearranging furniture and stuff to get the TV to fit. Its coming on 5:45 by now and there is no way he was going to leave this mess in his room and he realized I needed to leave to take my test since I'm a good 10-15 minutes away from campus and that doesn't count time for parking. So he hands me the keys to his car and tells me to go ahead. So here I am...in a panic to get to my class on time, rushing out the door leaving my keys at his place...not a problem ... unless you think of the fact that at teh time my liscense and student ID are attached to my keys...along with any cash I might have had. So I realize this and slow down a lot on the highway cuz I don't need to get pulled over on top of all of this...I get to campus fine and realize that I do'nt have a parking pass. Thinking I would be ok...I pulled up to the visitor parking booth and asked if like the first half hour is free...usually it is isn't it. Well not at my school...so the attendent could tell that I'm getting upset and looks at me with this pathetic look and says "I'm sorry...I hope you have a good night" I even explained to him that I was a student but just had no way to prove it either and needed to get in to take my test. And since the parking Nazi's at WSU are starting to ticket later and later I new that I was going to end up getting a ticket if I parked anywhere else but I had to. So I park my car and its 6 o'clock and I'm making a mad dash across campus to get to class and run in and sit down right as the test is being pasted by my seat (talk about perfet timing...the prof didn't even see me come in late.) Well this test is an open book test but the only thing I could think of was that I was going to get a ticket on PC's car so I'm rushing through this thing...feeling confident about most of my answers but mainly super upset and stressed about not wanting to get a ticket on my boyfriends car the first time he lets me drive it. So I finished a test we were allowed 2 hours for in about 20 minutes because I didn't even look in my book...ran and dropped it off and ran back to the car praying that I didn't get a ticket the whole way. Well I didn't thank goodness but I get back to PC's place and tell him what happened and he's like "you better not have failed a test just because you were worried about a dumb ticket from WSU...you realize that they aren't "real" police officers and a ticket from there wouldn't go on any of my records"...So yes...all that worrying and rushing for nothing. And I'm sure you are all reading this thinking...why is she getting so worked up over a ticket she didn't even get...I guess it is just who I am. Thankfully, however, I got an A on that test...and had I stayed longer I would have probably ended up getting at least 2 of the 3 I missed correct if I had looked them up. So yay...God was watching over me.

Well congratulations if you made it through that long story. I didn't realize how long winded I am until I write it out...but I thought it was a funny/interesting story none-the-less.

I'm gonna get ready for work now...Tonight PC and I are going out with his parents for dinner and tomorrow I'm meeting another couple who are friends of his and we are probably going to get "dressed" up and go to Olive Garden...so I'm excited about that.

Oh, by the way...PC and I went to dinner and a movie with my parents the other night. It was a lot of fun. We went to Fuddrucker's and had dinner and lot of laughs...unfortunately some of the biggest ones were at my expense...but I guess I'm ok with that as long as everyone had fun....and I have to admit...what they were laughing at was pretty funny. Anyway, then we went to go see Triston and Isolde....good movie but long...Next week we are planning on seeing Chicken Little...quite the difference but we're excited. Its been neat to see my dad and PC interact. I really think my dad likes him a lot and PC likes him too. in fact after the movie my dad had to go to the men's room and so PC and I just started to leave...well my dad came running out of the theatre and waving us down just for me to role down the window so he could say...good movie. So anyway...thats whats been going on with me. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Quick update

Well just in case anybody takes the time to check and see if I've updated recently...I thought I would let you all know that I'm still alive. Lifes been pretty hectic...as it seems for everyone here at the house this quarter. If I'm not at work, I'm at school or out with Coffee (girl friend from school) or PC. I've been staying pretty busy, but so far school is doing ok and for midterm time (wow...is it already) I think the signs are good. Although, I can't procrastinate too much longer on the papers that I have due soon...so thats coming up on my to do list.

Good news about preparing for graduation. I found out that I don't have to take 7 credit hours of "useless" classes next quarter. I only need 5 elective credit hours to graduate and it turns out I can take 6 credit hours and be considered a part time student. Soooo...next quarter it looks like things are going to be much nicer to finish out my college career. Granted I'll probably be working my butt off at work and doing lots of job searching for post graduation...but at least one thing will be taken care of. I'm also excited that I might be able to get away with just taking HPR classes ( they are like gym classes in college...aerobics, weight training, etc)...so I may end up loosing some more weight too. Woo hoo...the hard work pays off... well not as much as praying that God would give me a "break" from classes.

Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well. Sorry I haven't been keeping up to date on everyones journal but from what I have read everyone seems to be doing pretty well...minus a few issues here and there. Praying that they all work out.

Also if you could keep someone in your prayers right now as well...I can't really go into detail...but I just feel a heavy burden to pray for them and their family. You just need to pray...God knows the details. Thanks a bunch.
