The Latest News

After many tears, sweat, and pain I have finally finished my first semester of graduate school. Whew! It's good to be done! Friday morning I woke up early to complete a treatment plan project- my last assignment/final of the semester. Upon writing the last sentence, a familiar horn blasted outside my apartment. My precious parents arrived at the scene to help me pack up all of my belongings/junk and move me out of my beautiful apartment. (They had moved a portion of Grandmother's belongings/mega-junk Thursday evening and Friday morning, and they continued to move her Saturday- they're champs!) On our venture back to Abilene, my eye started hurting- I figured my contact was irritated from the intense week of little sleep. The next day, however, the pain exponentially increased (enough to convince me to go to the doctor- which is significant). Eye infection. And yet another hiccup. So, my present state: one semester down- (four more to go), homeless (living with my parents with my stuff in the garage and my car and sharing a twin bed with my little sister for a month), half blind, Queen of Catan, and ready to play racquetball.
