No more election :) being productive

Hey ya'll,
   I just said ya'll. ahahahahaha! I'm not that southern yet.  However since moving to the south I notice myself picking up a slight southern accent and being nicer to people.  Not bad things overall.

Thank goodness the election is over! No more nasty campaign commercials and people might start being nicer to each other again. And no longer will people's political views be all over Facebook.  again, thank goodness! everyone has their opinion, but not the right to push those opinions on others.  Politics, religion, and marriage are all examples of things you shouldn't push on other people.

Somedays are just stay in bed and get work done days.  The past 24 hours have been that day for me. It is raining and cold in Knoxville, TN.  Makes me not want to leave the comfort of my nice, warm bed. I have 14 pages of the dreaded 60 page sport psychology manual done.  :) yay!  It is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.  I also filled out most of my University of Utah application.  And did homework for my sport psych class. I even remembered to eat and now I am enjoying watching the Chew from yesterday and having a bloody mary. :)

I am going to spend the rest of the day working on some other work as well as my sport psych manual. :)

Picking up my roomie later tonight from her travels and interviews in Atlanta, GA.  I really hope for her sake that they went well, however, I'm going to miss her when she leaves.  :(

Hoping your day is going well,
<3 B

Catch up, again...

Hello Peeps!
 Sorry it has been so long since I've written on here. Life has been...all kinds of crazy.  I finally decided on graduate schools to apply to for my counseling PhD. :) Had a fantastic time at the AASP conference and made great new contacts.  Became friends with girls I never thought I would cherish as much as I do. I don't feel so isolated here in Knoxville anymore. :) 

The man came down and spent a week with me. I cannot explain how happy that made me.  We worked out 95% of our issues and it makes me so much more relaxed regarding our relationship. We went to our first wedding as a couple, seeing my sorority GBig get married. What a beautiful bride she was!  I got to see my Big for the first time in two years and it was fantastic! It's crazy to think how much has happened in such a short period of time. :) 

I wanted to share with you some things that made me really happy today, since part of the point of this blog for me, is to share things that make me happy. :)
