School has started again!
Tomorrow is the first offical day of my last semester! Exciting but a little scary. I am nervous about what I will do after I graduate. This has been a long but also kind of short winter break. I have made 4 diaper cakes this week (2 of them are a work in progress;still need toppers and stuff from the baby registry).

Nevermind my last post.
I got an email last wednesday that four of my classes were not going to be accepted for my graduation. It has been a long road thus far, and to now be told I can't graduate after everything is just awful. I don't know the reasons, but I have an appointment today at 10:30 with the Department Chair.
Everything was approved by the old dept chair in 2008 and I have an email that states that I have all the lower level electives already (the classes in question now) and last year when I went to the new dept chair he said he would not normally accept them but because the other guy did that he would honor that. this year I have been running around to another advisor trying to get everything finalized. he cancled 3 appointments and was 20 minutes late to my final appointment. He signed off on my degree plan and everything was supposed to be in order. Then classes got posted for us to look at 10/27 and 2 of my classes i needed werent being tought in the spring so that was another ordeal trying to get two classes substituted. registration started monday nov 1 and i didnt find out until nov 4 what classes were ok to register for. everything was supposed to be ok.THEN, i got an email wednesday. stating that four of my lower level transfer classes werent going to be accepted bc they needed to be upper division. From the email I got from the old dept chair I had all the required upper level courses already. so i emailed him back that everything should already be approved. he emailed me back and said it was getting to difficult and i needed to resolve this with the dept chair. then i got an email from the dept chair the he is refusing to accept those 4 classes and that i need to make an appt to further discuss it.
I am so frustrated. I am supposed to be graduating in may. i make good grades i am in the department honors society and am the secretary officer. Ive finished all my community service already. I am being inducted into the national college honors society tomorrow (top 10 % of school!) my gpa is a 3.5 i have been trying to do everything right and now i am being told i cant graduate?!? and that i may have to go another semester to get 12 more hours in because he wont accept what i have already taken? that will push me back another 9 months from may to december for me to graduate. Why wasn't I told from the begining those classes weren't going to be accepted? Even the advisor I saw this semester signed of on my degree plan for me to graduate. shouldn't he have known that?
Well my appointment is in 2 hours and I am so nervous. I don't know whether to cry or yell. Wish me luck

school, work, graduate??
I redid and added things for my fall themed house. But I havent loaded any pictures yet so that will have to be later. school was so hard for me to get back into this fall. either that or im just taking really hard classes. im in the honors society and have a 3.5 gpa, but for some reason on all my test so far im getting C's. I know it sounds bad, but if only 15 people out of 50 passed, i guess its a good grade?? I have to get all B's to stay in the honors society. Maybe now that midterms are over I can start to focus and pull my grades up.
My new adviser canceled our meeting 3 times, and gave me the excuse they lost my degree plan. Did I mention I am supposed to graduate in May? Our applications for graduation were due last week. I have been trying to get with my advisor to make sure I will graduate and to see what classes I have left in the spring to take. I finally got an email that said i had to redo my degree plan and email it back to him since they lost mine. I went up to the secretary of the department and got a copy of my plan from her (it was sitting in my file). The old department chair signed off on my electives back in 08 but the new dept chair doesnt accept those electives so if they lost my degree plan id have to take more electives the new chair member approves and wont graduate in may. i emailed him my degree plan and so far havent heard anything back....
I am finally starting to see will more often as of last week and its wonderful! He is making more of an effort without me even asking him which is nice.
Work has been a little rough the past few weeks. There is one girl that just doesnt work, literally sleeps at her desk and talks on the phone with her friends. I finally got the courage to tell my boss when we had one-on-one meetings. Then we got into another argument about sitting in the "hot seat" (call codes, deal with maintenance issues with the fire system etc.) that finally got fixed to and we got a weekly schedule of who will sit there. Things seem to be coming together!
Maybe the last half of the semester will be really great?!? only 7 weeks left of school this semester!

Update:
School has been in session the last month almost. One class we have done nothing but listen to him blabber about absolutley nothing relavent to consumer health. The others I am doing pretty desent in considering I have done nothing all summer long. I am officially the Secretary Officer in the Honors Society and will need to accomplish 1000 points this semester in community work. Still working 40 hours and school, so I have little time to spend with Will and I must say I miss him a lot. Texas A&M games have started and he has been enjoying a few weekends with his friends in College Station, so now that I have weekends off he is away! We have always had opposite schedules, but its just a few weekends this semester he will be away, but he will be working most all others. Still loving my apartment! I decorated for fall here are some pics:

Changes
School will start soon, August 25! i have put in for a transfer and only have one more week left at the clinic then will be working early morning shifts at the hospital before school so Ill have night and weekends "off" (I say off like that because Ill probably be studying). I am super excited about this year because it is my senior year in college FINALLY! Right now I have a 3.5 GPA and am in the Honors Society :) I just hope I can keep my grades up this semester (a little nervous about ethics and exercise physiology). since I have my own place now I am looking forward to the peace and quite studying time. Also I am hoping to look into getting my masters in education after I graduate in May... we will see though, one step at a time. So just work tomorrow and sunday at the hospital, then monday and tuesday at the clinic (my last :D) then next saturday to end the pay period and im on my new schedule mon-fri 6-2 (sorta). Wish me luck this semester, and with the work transfer!
