A picture!

Here is just me being crazy and then my freaking hot sister Nicole. I am so excited she is coming to USU in the fall!

I survived

Well I took my dreaded test am I am still alive, yes even after all of the test I have taken in my life I still expect them to kill me. One might someday but at this point it will probably be a really long and ugly paper that does the job. Grad school, what was I thinking, I hate writing papers, hehe. I am getting excited to talk to my professor about my grad project. I hope to do paleontology stuff! Way cool, I know. hey someday I am going to post pictures on my blog, that would be pretty exciting. Here is another random thought since that is what this post is, I bought a purple zebra purse. So awesome!!

It is now the last week of March, and so of course it is snowing. Ah spring weather, I don't know if spring actually exists, it just keeps snowing and then one day mother nature decides to get warm and roast us all to death. I wonder if other places have spring or if it is like cache valley everywhere. Since all the gross snow has melted this new snow does look really pretty. I don't mind this snow so much, spring would be nice but oh well.

Today was one of those day where you wake up and you dread the entire day. I have an optical mineralogy test tomorrow and I cannot answer a single question on the practice test. What am I going to do? I read the chapter the test is on, and didn't learn anything and oh I am just done for. I really don't like these tests he gives because you basically have all the questions before hand (which is good) but then you just have to memorize like 6 pages of info. luckily this is the last test I will take like this besides the final. After a whole year of Mineralogy and then Optical mineralogy I am so done!

dying?

Well it is now day 4 of being sick and I still don't feel any better. I had to beg Greg to let me come with him to campus because I cannot stand my house anymore! I am so tired and my body hurts so bad but laying down is out of the questions because my nose plugs up and I can't breath. I feel high on all the drugs I have taken the past 2 days and moving (walking around, bending over, etc) just takes too much energy. I missed 3 days of school last week and now have 5 hours of lab, a 4 day field trip, an a quiz to make up. I missed work and don't see how if I still feel this miserable it will be better by monday. I just want to cry but then that makes everything hurt worst. My house is a mess and I can't even clean it!!

A quick question

How do I follow other peoples blogs. Some have a little link on their page saying follow this blog but others don't, like Amy Trees and Jes Trinkellas? How do I get to follow them?

The World is Piling Up

Wow so much for a organized, stress free semester! I was realizing there are only like 7 weeks of class left and I have to spend all of Spring Break studying for the GRE, then write a 20 research paper for geochem, and get my poster presentation ready for GSA. GSA is a meeting where all the fancy geologist meet to show off their research and they will all be coming by my poster and asking me questions! Yikes! I really need to show that I know what I was doing with my research project! Of my, there are alot of big things to do, and not enough time to do them in!!

Upset

I am not one to get upset at people. I really am an easy going person and pretty chipper. Well last week I got really upset at one of my friends over some silly test. I was upset because I felt she had hurt me. Now I feel pretty silly for getting upset although I still think it wasn't wrong to be upset over, just not as upset as I was. Anyways this doesn't really make sense probably but I just needed to rant.

Graduate School

Well I am heading off to Grad school. It is funny how Heavenly Father gets you to do what you need to do. This Grad school decision was practically forced on me. I had talked to my Professor about Grad school in January and was like hey thats a good idea but I just want to be a mommy now. Apparently it is not my time to be a mommy yet. Heavenly Father has a different plan then what I was hoping for. Darn it! Oh well Grad school will be exciting and I really will learn a lot! Both my parents and Greg's parents and Greg have been really supportive. My dad couldn't stop saying how proud of me he was and how wonderful grad school is. I am almost done with the application process. My department is planning on me coming so unless I completely bomb the GRE I should be good to go! I am really sacred for the GRE. I take it on March 17th. luckily I will have all of Spring Break to study. I plan on putting 30 hours in. I am not sure what my grad project will be, maybe it will be geomporhology and OSL like my senior thesis is now or maybe I will do Sedimentary stuff. Either way I am off to Grad school weather I like it or not. I am mostly excited though, just a little sad I have to wait until 2011 to be a mommy. My plan is to graduate May of 2011.
