Finals

Well, two finals down, two to go! My Cognitive Assessment Final went well I suppose as did my Integrated Health Care Solutions Final. Hopefully the next two, Lifespan and Psychopathology I will go just as well if not better!

As for Easter, my parents were able to come spend Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with me here in Springfield, that way I did not have to be alone the entire Holiday weekend. We went to eat several times in those three days, once to Logan's Roadhouse (they have great vegetable skewers), once to Buffalo Wild Wings, and once to Macaroni Grill! I love going out to eat so when my parents come down that is what we do. We also went to the movies Thursday night and watched Vantage Point, it was an interesting movie, very suspenseful! On Friday we went shopping here in Springfield and at Branson! Friday night we went to the Piano Bar where they had dueling pianos! All and all, this was a great weekend!

I did attend church on Sunday at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. This was a nice little church, it was very small but had a modern twist to it. The church had the alter in the middle and the seating was on either side of the alter facing the center. It was very different from what I am used to but I enjoyed it very much. It was a family oriented place, everyone was very friendly and they had a great band and choir.

Finals

Well these last few days have been a bit stressful. Trying to round up all last minute details to projects, make sure everything is PERFECT to hand in and on top of that trying to study! YIKES!! It has been a lot to do in a little amount of time. My first final exam is tomorrow (Wednesday) in Cognitive Assessment. It will be a challenging test but once it is over...its over! I am looking forward to being finished with this term. It has been a ton of work and my mind is on overload right now.

My other tests should go well and I should finish the term with decent grades. At least I am hoping!

For Easter, I am going to be unable to go home. Our finals fall around Easter, if I go home I feel that I will not be able to study enough because most of my time will be spent in the car. So, unfortunately, this will be my VERY first holiday away from home, EVER! My brother may still come to see me. My parents are talking about going to Porta Viarta. LUCKY THEM! My brother cannot tag along with them because he is in the middle of his golfing season so if he misses practices he will then miss tournaments. So he may travel down to see me on Saturday night. I would hate for the both of us to spend the holiday alone.

Well, wish me the best with finals. I most certainly wish you the best and I hope you have a wonderful Spring Break!! I hope you have plans of relaxing and seeing the ones you love most over your break. This opportunity seems to become more scarce as we get older.

Principal's Conference

Well this weekend has been full of excitement! My mom was nominated for Principal of the Year in the state of Missouri, by her fellow principals. It is quite and honor especially since there are only 13 chosen for the award in the entire state! The banquet was on Saturday evening and they all were announced and introduced that evening. Our entire family was able to come and celebrate and congratulate her!

The winner will be announced in two weeks. They will come to the winner's school unannounced and surprise them with the award. She said she feels she did well in her interview so hopefully the winner will be her! Although there were many other deserving individuals on the stage.

There are only two weeks left of classes, so now its "nose to the grindstone" as I finish up some last minute projects and studying for tests. It will be a tiring and stressful two weeks but it will be nice when it is all finished and I can say I have completed two terms successfully! Then of course is Spring Break....I am looking forward to this every day!

What were the results?

Well, my midterms all turned out fairly well! I am excited and somewhat relieved!! I am happy to have the stress of the midterms out of the way! Now I am preparing for finals and finishing up last minute projects that are due soon.

It seems like this term I have had to travel so much! The last few weekends have been filled with wedding preparations for both my cousin and my friend. This weekend though I traveled up to Iowa City where I was able to meet my boyfriend and his family for a fun filled weekend. I suppose we didn't do anything to exciting but it was nice to see everyone.

Next weekend, I am heading to the Lake of the Ozarks. My mom was nominated for Principal of the Year in the state of Missouri. So our family is going to watch all of the excitement! After this weekend, there will be no traveling until Spring break! I need time to just loaf around!

This weekend was absolutely beautiful outside!! I thought for sure Spring was around the corner. But, were back to the weather man calling for snow tonight. ARRG! I hope this weather lets up soon. I am originally from the Midwest and should be use to the weather. I don't think it would matter how long I lived here though, I will never enjoy the cold, snow, and ice. Hopefully I live on the beach someday! :)

Well until next time....have a great week!
