My annual year end survey- go back in my journal to find the same survey from 2009, 2008, 2006 and 2005 (but apparently forgot 2007 ( Read more... )

Soooooooo much has happened since I last wrote!

For one, I finished my thesis. And I got an A on it. And they're going to use it as a model for the department! So I was pretty pleased with that. After I finished my thesis, all that was left to do was graduate.

Since the year is just about a quarter over, I thought it would be fun to check in on my 2010 New Year's Resolutions and see how much progress I've made.

On Monday (it is technically Wednesday now I guess, eek!) my professor at school finally came for a site visit at my internship. She attended the group I have been leading since late October and had a meeting with my professor and I. I am so relieved to have it out of the way ( Read more... )

My brother really wanted to go and I have a gym membership and can bring guests, so we went together and had a great time. I was really nervous about going because I'm not a strong swimmer and I A). Didn't want to get ( Read more... )

This year I did not really celebrate Valentine's Day. I like the day in spirit but it never works out for me. I always seem to have break-ups right before and on some years even ON Valentine's Day. The last time I had a Valentine/boyfriend on Valentine's day I was 17. He gave me a big tub of candy hearts and I ended up breaking up with him a ( Read more... )

John has apparently changed his tune. He asked me again Monday morning to hang out that night, and I said no. Later that day a beautiful bouquet arrived on my doorstep with a very sweet apology note. We were able to talk a little bit on the phone despite both of us having very busy days and I was finally able to tell him, after waiting for two ( Read more... )
