44 days...

It is crazy that I am graduating in less than 2 months, but I am so ready. This past weekend was a reminder to me that I really do want to be back in DFW. That is where my family is and a lot of my friends. The past few weekends have been so much fun and has been a nice break from work and school.

Spring Break, which seems like forever ago, was wonderful. Dawn and I spent the week/weekend at my dad's beach house in Aransas Pass and it was great. We also went to several shows, which made it even better. RJ, Wade, EYB, and RRB in 3 days isn't a bad way to spend the week.

The week after SB was just crazy, it always is. I just couldn't get back on a schedule and seemed to not get everything accomplished like I wanted too. Then last weekend I went home and had another great weekend. Friday night was EYB @ House of Blues with Dawn, Deidre, Lori, and Tommy. Okay, let me explain, Dawn ended up with an extra ticket and since her mom was going she called to see if my mom wanted to go. Unfortunately my mom was sick, so Tommy offered to go with me. And as most of you know, he isn't the biggest EYB fan, but I was really glad he went and he even had fun. haha.

Saturday I went to lunch with my dad, and uncle Ronnie and Donnie. It was interesting, but good, I don't see my uncles as much as I would like to so it was nice. Then I went and played with Dylan for a little while and then was planning on going home to get ready to go to Dallas and meet up with everyone at Adair's. Well as I was getting ready, Erica, my friend from college that graduated last year called me and wanted to know if I wanted to go to dinner. So since I hadn't seen her in awhile I decided I would go see her. So I drove to Dallas (2 nights in a row in Dallas is soooo unusual for me) and went to dinner with her and her boyfriend and then hung out at their new apartment for a bit. After I left, it was still early enough I could have made it to Adairs, but I got lost so I just went home.

Sunday I had lunch with my mom and grandparents then my mom and I went to River Ranch in FW to see Maren Morris, Bart Crow, and Mike acoustic. It was a great afternoon and I'm pretty sure I could listen to Mike acoustic for hours and never get tired. Dawn and Deidre were there too, so getting to see them twice in one weekend made things fun! I'm probably going home again this weekend...and the next since it's Easter, but I haven't decided yet.

And I love the lyrics to the new song mike sang on sunday, so I'm sharing...

"How can I win when the battle keeps changing
Do I lay down my gun
Surrender to the demons I'm facing
Should I fight or should I run
Is this the moment that I finally take a stand
and win this war on a desperate man"
~Mike and Blu

1 more week...

and then it's Spring Break!! I'm so ready for a break, the past few weeks I have been so busy with school and work, I'm looking forward to a little bit of a break.

School:
I took 1 midterm last week and have one this Thursday. Thankfully I like to write because last weeks was 10 pages long and I'll probably end up writing another 10-15 pages for this week's test. Even though I don't do very well on multiple choice tests, I kinda miss being able to go in, choose an answer, and be done in about 20 minutes. My graduation announcements are ready for me to pick up and I ordered my cap and gown a few weeks ago. They finally set graduation dates and times too. I graduate May 15 at 9am!! 67 days...but who's counting! :)

Work:
It's been busy, but nothing I can't handle. Last week I went with my coworkers to the Aggie woman's basketball game and had a great time. I wish I could stay there and work after graduation because for the most part I really like everyone I work with. Unfortunately it's not going to happen.

Dance:
Things are going really well at dance, although last week I think I might have over done it. I hurt for like 3 days and even my girls told me they were in pain. Still not exactly sure what I did, but I would prefer not to feel like that again. I still need to finish up choreography, but I feel good about the dance.

Internship:
I feel like I never have enough time to do everything but it has been fun. Currently I am planning a banquet. I've never planned a banquet before and they have never had a banquet before. So it has been somewhat of a challenge, but it has been fun. Other than that, I've just been working on redesigning their promotional materials and trying to plan different events.

Spring Break: I'm working Monday-Wednesday of spring break because I figure the extra money will be nice and I don't really have anything else to do. Then on Wednesday Dawn is coming to CS and we are going to my beach house in Aransas Pass for the weekend. I love going to the beach house and relaxing and it is even going to be more fun since Dawn is coming with me. Now if only I could just make it thorough the week!
