Monday Morning

I think there's a song about Monday mornings... Anyway, I spent the weekend working on RA work and at the mansion. I am happy to say that I got a lot done, but I had hoped to get even more done. This week's crazy. Two presentations, two-three papers, a birthday that I'll be spending at home, ack! Life's busy busy, that's for sure!

Well, I should get going. I've got a couple of stops on campus before sitting down to write.

Hugs!

Backpacks

Marquette had a display yesterday that really hit home. They had backpacks laid on the grass in between LaLum and the library. On the outer edge there were stories of people who had committed suicide while a teenager/college student. 1,100 College students do this every year. One really hit home, about a girl who blames herself for not seeing the signs. Every day she lives with that regret. So I'm glad that our story has a happy ending. No matter what, always listen.

The Bucks won a nail-biting game last night. Did you know that they were in the playoffs? Pretty cool.

Well, lots to do. Hugs!

Not enough Hours

There just aren't enough hours in the day to get done everything I need to. Argh! I try to spend an hour on me every morning. I'd hate to have to cut that out. I usually get my Wii-ing, e-mails, online sales, and the like finished. A good note is that I only have 12 days of coursework left. And no job after that. Ack!

Well, like I said, lots to do and not enough hours!

life remains...

...crazy busy. Would've written earlier, but I've been busy. Lots of RA work, homework, school work, and trying to find work. Sigh. Life is supposed to slow down sometime soon!

I wish I could win the lottery so I could pay off all my debt. That would be nice.

More work today, this time a the Mansion. Haven't been there in a while, so I'm looking forward to it.

Well, I should get moving. Hugs!

Thursday

A good time today. I got to see my Mom, who was in town for to check out what her transfer job might be like. She bought a bucket of dirt to try it out in her container gardening. LOL. She brought me a couple of size-smaller jeans. One pair actually FITS! Yay. Another old pair of mine, my "skinny jeans" are also close to fitting. I can't believe I can get them on at all. YAY!

Lots to do. RA work, group work project, 30 page paper work, housework, roommate/housing search, job search, etc. Sigh. I want to take a nap.

oh, and my paper was 26+ pages when I turned it in yesterday!!

Why am I here again?

I think its about that time in the semester when I question my decision to go to grad school... I do that every semester. It is important, because it reminds me why I'm here in the first place. To get an education and get ahead.

Had a great dream where it was last Saturday and I had days to get this paper organized, not hours. Right now, best dream ever!

Sigh, I don't know why I always do this to myself. I guess that's why they call it a "rough draft".

Hugs, Christi and Lily (who used the bed for a racetrack around 5AM)

Ain't no sunshine...

Well, I mean it is bright and sunny outside. A truly beautiful day, like yesteday. Only I'm stuck inside writing my paper. Again. Yesterday I did get two job applications done, one for the State Historical Society (polished off from Friday) and one for the UWM library. I think it's going to be another very poor summer for me. Boo on that.

Well, lots to do. I've got books upon books stacked all around the cubicle so i should get to cracking some of them open again!
Hugs,
Christi (and Lily from home)
