New Year????
Long time since I've updated ...
All I can really say is that 2007 is off to a rough start. In the matter of 3 weeks I lost my grandfather, a family friend, and one of my good friends who I have known for the last 6 years of my life. January, and unfortunately February, aren't going how I would like ... but things are slowly starting to pull back together.
When it comes to school ... yea, that's going ok I guess. Ended last semester with a 3.789, which I can't complain about ... this semester is a little tougher, so we'll see. I ended up applying to be a mentor in this upcoming year, but I don't think I'll get it. I made it past the first round (group interview), but my one-on-one interview was a little crappy. They turned a 1 hour interview into 20 minutes to open up a time slot for them to eat ... which definitely made me feel rushed and I'm sure it didn't help me what-so-ever. GRRR!! Well, at least I still have the SMB if this doesn't work out.
Friends - we'll yea, can't say too much on that one. I have the few I love dearly back at home, an amazing handful up here at MSU ... and I couldn't be any happier. Yet, to this day ... there is someone I walked away from and I think I will always regret that decision. He was probably one of the greatest friends I have ever had and yet I threw that friendship away. I guess it was me feeling bad, because I knew whether it was at school, home, etc. he would always be the middle guy, due to certain tension between me and someone else. I didn't want there to be any pressure ... so in order to help him out a little, I just thought it would be best to remove myself from his life, and like I said above ... big mistake. There's definitely a piece of me missing since I did that and I don't think I'll ever be the same.... Maybe one day, things will change and we'll pick up from where we left off, but then again ... I don't seem to be having very much luck when it comes to that.
November 20, 2006 marked the 2 year anniversary for Kevin and I and I couldn't ask for more. He's simply an amazing guy - seeing he can accept me for who I am and yet live his life happily. Sometimes I feel it's hard to find guys out there like him, seeing most of them are stereotypical assholes.... but some how I managed and found someone who, no matter what, will always be there for me.
Home life is still rough as well - not really sure what's going on with that. My dad is going to retire sometime this year - which is going to suck. This is going to decide whether or not the divorce between my rents is going to take place. Sometimes I wish they would do it and get it over with, but yet I just wish they could keep sticking it out and see what happens. My mom and dad are heading down to the new house in Florida around March and if it's at the same time as my spring break - I'll be going down there myself too, I CAN'T WAIT!!
Other than that, can't wait for this semester to end so I'll finally know if I'm staying here for summer school or if I'll be home. The deal now is that my major is speech pathology - Communicative Sciences and Disorders. It isn't needed if I stay here in Michigan, but I may need to get a teaching certificate if I plan on living outside of MI. This involves me graduating with a bachelors degree with my major (CSD) - as well as getting a double major in Education. With that, I need to minor in a certain area of education - which would probably be psychology. So overall, I need to get a Double major and a minor done in 2 years ... which requires me to take a whole summer of wonderful classes here at MSU, HOORAY!!! (Just Kidding!) Then of course, I need to get that wonderful masters degree before I can do anything with my job, ICK!!!!!! Oh well - maybe things will change after I meet with the head of my department and discuss the circumstances and what not - wish me luck!
If anyone reads this - good luck with school/work/whatever you have going on in your life right now and have a great week!!
