More updates

So I have been a little MIA this week because there has been so much going on. First and foremost, I am sick. I hate being sick. My nose is stuffy, my ear is clogged and more than likely infected, and that is never fun. I have also been frantically getting paperwork ready and together for ECU (financial aid and the like).

On top of all of THAT, I have been trying to tackle some major life decisions about moving versus commuting to ECU, if I do move what is the best option for me, and trying to be very adult about the entire thing. This decision can't just be about what I want to do, but what is the best option all around (in the way of cost, energy consumption, feasibility, and the like). It would of course, be more cost effective to live at my Grandparent's house and commute. Yes, it would add an astronomical amount of miles on to my car, but my car is old, so does that really matter? No, I wouldn't be able to have a job that is really worth mentioning because I would be spending so much time commuting, but if I am not spending so much to live, is that really an issue? Plus, I have absolutely no idea in what county my internship will actually be in and would hate to sign a lease in Pitt county and then end up doing an internship at Carteret County and be faced with a huge commute anyway. Oh the joys of being an adult.

Lastly, my baby sister graduated from high school tonight. Boy do I feel old! Being back in my old high school and realizing that neither the bathrooms nor the smell of that place had changed brought back all sorts of memories, yet all of that feels like a lifetime ago. I didnt cry at my own high school graduation and when my baby sister walked in to her ceremony, I cried like a little baby. I am getting soft in my old age!

Overall, that has been what is going on. More to come later!

It has been awhile...

So I know that it has been awhile since I have posted. There has been a LOT going on and I have had no time! Last weekend all that work was scraped because I found out at the last minute that I had to apply to a program that I didn't even want to attend in order to keep my Teaching Fellows. Whether or not I get in doesn't even matter, its the fact that I applied. Long story.

This week I have had so much homework to do and things to get done before Easter. This week was like what the week before Spring Break usually is, and wasn't, this year. I thought I was getting off easy when I had no midterms or major things due around that time, little did I know that I was going to get kicked in the butt come the week before Easter. Just to give you a little glimpse, for Monday I had to read about a third of the Divine Comedy, not an easy task. I mean, have you SEEN the Divine Comedy? It's no short book by any means and I was reading the hardest part! I also had a bio presentation to do as well as a play to read and a reflection to write. For Wednesday I had a paper to do and two tests to study for. I worked literally all weekend and had no time to just sit and do homework so I was really scrambling on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights.

This weekend will be full of lots of fun things... not. I have a full draft of my thesis (which has to be at a minimum 25 pages, but more like 40 seeing as I have to have 40 cited sources... come on!) and I currently have a very crappy 6 page draft that is hardly worth the paper to print it on. So that will be my fun filled weekend.

Seeing as I have become very sleep deprived over the last few days, I have now started to drink coffee, and lots of it. I used to NEVER drink coffee and I feel like I need an IV hooked up to me now... yay for becoming just one step closer to becoming an adult.

Let's see... what else? OH! A recent wrench has been put in my working for the summer plan, but we wont go into details about that. So now there is yet another thing for me to have to figure out. Sweet. My recent debate with myself is whether or not I should go to grad school at UNCW or ECU for my MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching) degree. I like UNCW's program and the idea of living in Wilmington is VERY appealing, but I dont know all that many people there. Also, if I went to UNCW, I would have to wait till Spring 2011 to start classes. I dont really want to wait. ECU on the other hand has a very competitive program from the looks of it, I know more people in the area, and I can start in the fall. Decisions, Decisions...
