it has been:

3 years and 3 months since i entered graduate school....

1 month and 11 days since i took a job at a middle school that i do not think that i like...

1 day since my birthday... (that was so so so much fun.)

i have:
2 days until thanksgiving break...

4 days until my final birthday celebration...

9 days left at my internship site...

12 days until stacy's wedding...

19 days until GRADUATION...

25 days (16.5 school days) until christmas break...

so, i made it back from my most recent trip from mobile. so for now here is the plan: i have an extreme b12 and folic acid defiency so i have to take medicine for that everyday, that is pretty much forever. i have to have another MRI then i will start on a four month protocol of medication and then have another MRI to see how that is working. that is what i know right now.

in other news i applied for a school counseling job at lavergne middle school and was offered the position. it starts monday. i was hired on an alternative a license until i graduate in december. here is the issue,i have to work this job, finish an internship and work my night job. so that means even less sleep. as you know i can not go any time without insurance so it will be a while until i can quit my other job. so any good thoughts, encouragement and prayers on this are greatly appreciated, sometimes it gets overwhelming and hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

hopefully i will get to see all of my great friends again soon. i hate not being able to be around a lot and i miss you and need your uplifting spirits.

Hmmm…so in about two weeks I am back off to mobile. My tests for lyme disease from the Dr. came back in and half were positive and half were negative. So, what does this mean well, I am not really sure. Basically they are going to start treatments and see what happens. So, I will continue my shots, but be on this treatment for a few months as well. Doesn’t sound like too much fun to me and then to not know if it will work or how we will know if it will work. One would thing modern medicine had progressed a little further.

- i start my last semester of graduate school next week.

- i have one class left till i graduate in december.

- i have enjoyed not having anything to do all summer, but now i have to go back to that crazy schedule where i get no sleep and never see anyone. it is sad because i always feel that i am neglecting someone and there is nothing that i can do about it.

- i have comps in december and then the praxis. that scares me.

- one cedar point trip down and two more are scheduled! yay!

- my cousin asked me to be in her wedding... i cant wait because i love her and there is nothing i would rather do than to be that big of a part of her special day.

- i have made quite a few new people i think that i have made some new really great friends.

- i still have not completely fixed my kitchen from the fire.... i dont know what is wrong with me... i just can not get motivated...

- i am very torn now what i am going to do after i graduate. my plan all along has been to move back to athens, but i have grown so close to people here and am at a place where i feel like i am home that i dont know that i do want to move back. but, i miss my family and wish i were with them. i think a part of me wants that ecspecially with how the past year has gone and how i have been sick and that scares me...

- i have the best friends ever who are always there for me and who i can talk to if i need my spirits lifted. i can not thank God enough for putting such great people in my life.

ok so.. the next two weeks are going to be so so busy. i should be packing right now instead of typing this, but as you can see i am not to motivated. in less than two hours i will be headed to cedar point for some great amusement park fun. for those of you that are upset that you can not go too not to worry we are also planning trips in possibly august, sept. and oct. so you have time to go as well and quite honestly it is more fun when the halloween stuff is out.

trip two starts next wednesday, brandee and i will again be leaving from work and heading out...but next week we are meeting up with my mom and heading to mobile for the remainder of the week. it will be pretty fun except for the dr.s appointment it will be centered around...

hope you all have great weeks!
