Give me presents! :P

( my xmas stocking )

Why does my apartment house such large and scary looking bugs? Where are they coming from? And more importantly, why do they hide where I cannot see them after they crawled out from wherever they came from therefore preventing me from smooshing them?!?!?




UPDATE (1:00PM): I AM TRIUMPHANT!!!!! I attacked with kitchen cleaner and a sandal. The mission is complete!

When, you ask, will a real update occur? If I told you that, I'd have to shove hot dogs down your pants and give you a wet willy so don't ask.


"Que sera sera. Whatever will be, will be..."

I kicked ass and took names...although I didn't need to write them down or anything, and there were only two people there, and I didn't really kick their asses. Anyways, I went for my Oral exam and kicked it's ass. They didn't ask too many questions at first and then after I was done with the last part of my presentation they started asking a lot of questions about my client and how treatment proceeded with him. I had to act on my feet here since I kind of made up my client. Then they asked me about how I would respond to people who asked me why I thought this therapy did the best - provide research and stats. Besides what I had already discussed and prepared in my presenation, I didn't have much else. I danced around it for a bit and then he asked me again. So I told him, I cannot think of any studies right now. So they asked me a few more questions and at that point it was nearing 11AM so I knew they couldn't ask me too many more. They deliberated for a minute in the office by themselves and asked me to return. They told me I had passed with DISTINCTION!!!!!! They also said they my presentation was well organized and went into depth and they liked how my case illustrated the points I made earlier in the presentation. Professor O'Reilly said it was one of the best he had heard in a while. :) I am ecstatic.

So for the rest of the day...I will be having lunch with my mom, maybe some shopping, and then down to RI for a dinner celebration that hopefully more than one other person can join me for.

My oral exam is tomorrow morning at 10AM and no one is around right now. No one's online, Derek's bowling, my roommate is not here, and the TV is not doing a good job of distracting me. My tummy is in knots. I think I've got my presentation down. I wanted to try it on my roommate but, like I said, she's not here. Arg! I hope I don't feel like this tomorrow...

Update: Roommate is home, I feel slightly better.

I was going to post and then I talked to Sarah. I don't feel like typing right now. Byes.

Alas, I am here and alive. I apologize for the last couple of whiny, depressed posts. I was stressing and thinking about things while trying to finish up the last of my finals which was not helping whatsoever. But the stress is gone now and I am feeling much better. I have taken August as a vacation month of sorts in that my Oral Exam the final of all finals is scheduled for the end of September. I decided to give myself a break from school and not touch my presentation until September. Since tomorrow is the first day of September and it's a Friday, I think I'll just read my paper to refresh my memory. Surprisingly enough, I am not worried or stressed about this exam. Come September 26, that may be a different story although I hope not. I hope to pass the exam with distinction, this is my goal.

So basically for the past month, I have been going out and doing things and enjoying my life again. Merideth is coming up tonight to start to teach me how to cook and watch Grey's Anatomy. How I love the McDreamy...let me count the ways. I just started watching the show since Jen from Ass Co. brought it over and me and Sarah borrowed it to watch the last 6 episodes of season 1 in one night. Good times. I have also been out to Newport with Derek to see the mansions, went swing dancing, and to Waterfires in Providence (something I haven't done since high school). Last night I decided to work on my high school scrapbook. I've decided that this will take forever and I will never finish it. Hopefully, I am wrong because it would be nice to have.

Liss and Bryan also had a house warming party which was pretty fun. Liss got herself all fishnickered and was rolling around on the floor. Bryan interceded on her attempts at making a mudslide and just started throwing stuff in the blender like ice cream sandwiches, Autocrat coffee syrup, and some spearmint flavored liquor. It was good. I had a bit to drink myself but was fortunately not rolling around on the floor and, thank God, not crying in a bathroom. I had spread it out enough so I didn't get myself to that point.

I realize I never posted about the wedding. ( Wedding Bonanza )

All in all, I have been doing good and I am happy because for once in 2 years, I have a life back - free time - and it is glorious. Coming up - I'm going to a Journey concert and going to Florida the week after my orals, and I may start a belly dancing class. Woot.

If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow, why can't I?

Just thought I'd share this as I alost died from the cuteness of it all.

Oh the subtle ways in which we are all masochists...

Two weeks left...shoot me now

Is it August 2nd yet?
