It's. So. Close.

Good: I graduate next month (August)!

Bad: These classes are killer. Many, many papers.

I feel like the Little Engine..."I think I can, I think I can..."

Does anyone get on here anymore? ;) Believe it or not but I check this thing about once a day. I just read everyone else's posts and don't make any. Anyways, I just felt like changing my entry. I am still at Perfect Optical. I love what I do, but it is very stressful/busy. I am almost done with undergrad school. I have this semester and then summer and, Lord willing, I will be done. The plan after that is to take the fall semester off then start the MA History program at WKU in the spring. Very exciting! Kevin is still at his same job. Everthing is going well and we have been very blessed! If anyone still reads this, let me know what's going on in your lives.

Until later....

    Hey! I pretty much do the same thing as you - read everyone's posts on pleo but don't ever post anything myself :) haven't seen y'all in a while, glad to hear all is going well. Not sure when the last time I updated you and Kevin on my life was. Anyways, I'm at Texas A&M right now, hopefully graduating in May '11. And... I'm still watching 24 - hope y'all are too!! :)

    I do the same thing. I post only when I have something worth posting about which is rarely so its usually an update, like where I am in the world. haha.

I got a new job!

Since I hardly ever post on here, I figured this was post-worthy lol. It's actually at an eye doctor's office. I'll basically be training to be the doctor's assistant or something like that. I'm very excited about it. This is something completely different from anything I've ever done before! Prayers that it works out well would be greatly appreciated!

Until any more big news rolls around...
Karen :)

    ok, that's a really good idea about the scrap book! I want to do a weekly homework assignment (just one) and that seems like a perfect fit! It's challenging but not too time consuming and it's obvious if they did the work or not! I love it!

  • smallgreenbug
    I've worked at a doctor's office before...of course i was in filing and that's different than working WITH the doctor, which I am sure could be pretty interesting (so long as you have the patience to deal with stupid people)
    by smallgreenbug at 09/15/09 10:12AM

    you know, I'm not sure. I was considering that as i was typing everything up. Technically, I guess it still is gossiping because it doesn't concern something between him and you. Unless it is something that is affecting you in some way, and then it would probably be more benificial to talk to him about it. But, i dunno.

A new year...

...and tomorrow begins a new semester at a new school and a new start at an old job. Hope it goes well. Currently, I'm slightly overwhelmed with my classes. I only have 15 hours but each class AT LEAST has 3 books...some more. So I can only tell you that I'm quite certain I will be reading a lot. And unfortunately, it will not be any Twilight books. I'm obsessed, I know. ;)

Hope everyone has a great start back to school!

Karen
  • kattath
    have you finished reading all four yet???
    by kattath at 01/04/09 8:55PM
  • kattath
    I love them! I've read all of them and the first two I've reread. I think I'm gonna go get the 3rd on when I have money again. I haven't read the Edward one. I don't know why, but I just can't seem to do it. It feels wrong. I think it's the author in me. I hope she finishes it though because I've heard it's really good!!!

    well I am in my Sr. year at Harding. I should graduate in December, there are some things happening right now to confuse it, but I should still graduate in Dec, but my last semester may not be here.

    Finally...done with those stinkin books...maybe someone will actually pay attention when I'm telling a story now...instead of wandering off into Edward land...
