Late night ramblings

| Friday, April 23, 2010 | |
It's been awhile.  I'm sorry you missed me.  Everyone has, you're not special.  Well, you are of course...very special...just not that you're the only one who missed me cause you're not.  Even Victoria misses me and we live nearby.

So...what to say?

I've been so busy.  I'm barely hanging on.  I started out the semester so strongly and even by the middle I was still on top of everything.  One week left and I'm praying that I can keep it together long enough for finals.  Ugh.

The research is going well...slowly but well.  If I weren't bogged down by classes I'd have time to be able to really understand what I was doing.  I got denied to all of my summer internships that I applied for out of state.  I even got semi-denied for the one here on campus (I got slotted as one of four alternates).  Needless to say, things weren't looking very good for me.  However, someone had my back because everything started to fall into place.  I got moved into the program and off of the wait list.  Victoria and I are also moving in June instead of August.  I even found 2 classes in pre-summer session that I can take (now I just have to pray that I actually get financial aide this summer or I'll have a whole new slew of problems).

Through all of this I even decided on a minor...Psychology.  Heck, when I'm finished with my degree I can get a Masters in counseling.  It's something I keep coming back to.  I'm scared about detouring my life so completely right now though so I'll be finishing my degree in Math.  Besides, I really do like statistics.  So I'll get my Ph.D in that and then work on that Masters in Psychology.  Then I can do my own statistical research on my clients LOL.

I really should go to bed though.  It's getting late and I've got a lot going on this weekend.  I've jumped head-long into helping my chapter struggle onto their own two feet again.  I really believe we can do this and move through our issues.  Unfortunately, that doesn't leave much time to breathe.  I'll just leave you with a list of things that demand my time lately...then I'm going to bed.

  • kids
  • school
  • fraternity
  • research
  • internships
  • softball
  • baseball (son's)
  • church
  • friends - a particular friend who had to have emergency surgery to remove a mass from her spine
  • math club (the technical term for this is the Mathematical Association of America, Student Chapter but that's just really a mouthful isn't it?)
  • stupid people disrespecting my son and myself
  • my right brain demanding to be used
  • getting ready to move
  • and at this point I'm really trying to find more stuff to add to the list - because obviously the list isn't long enough is it?
