Finals
Well, finals are next week. It has been a crazy semester (or more like whole of junior year). I’m going to write a reflection next week about all of 2009 and 2010 so far (I know I should have written about 2009 in January but hey this is my blog). Looks like a mostly B semester which is a downer because I like to keep my grades at A’s to keep my GPA up. But after this semester I will only have one more year before I graduate with my Bachelors degree. I am still debating on if I want to go straight to a Master’s and get school over with or to wait. I am going to study for the GRE just in case I do decide to go because I need it to be accepted into the graduate program and to get scholarships.
Work has been great! Love the people I work with. I know people who gripe about their bosses but I have to say I have the world’s GREATEST bosses. S.C. is just amazing. S.S. is who I mainly work for and she is GREAT. We are friends outside of work also so that has been great. I love working at the archive. Some of the time can be boring but meeting all the older folks that have stories to tell is just amazing. The other day I got to meet a WWII veteran. We are currently working on looking up the medal of honor recipients and honoring them.
I love history which spills over into my job because it is all about history. There is a display up about the history of the town and it is REALLY interesting to learn about how it came to be. It started because of the fort that was here, but the first business was a combined Saloon and Grocery store. And where there is a saloon you have soiled doves (a.k.a. prostitutes). S.A. also had a significantly high divorce rate then you typically think up during the 1800’s.
I am currently a little obsessed with Amazon’s Kindle E-reader. I want one soooo bad, I love to read but I just don’t have enough space to by anymore books and I think the library is tired of seeing me. I have read through, ohh, probably a good 1/3 of the libraries books. I am saving up for it but I am also saving up for a sewing machine…I know odd choices but I love to sew and the Machine F. has is just archaic and HATES me, not kidding. Fran can use the same thread and everything will work fine, I can use the machine literally seconds after her with everything the way she left it and the thread will break and the bobbin will do some crazy thing. It is really weird.
I can’t wait to go to Canada, I miss it A LOT! I am extremely sad about grandma but miss her like crazy. I wish I would have been able to be with her during her last days. It is going to be hard to go through her things, but I am glad I am going to be able to bring about some of her things to remember her by. I am also glad that I will be able to see people (most of the people who read this blog…) that I haven’t seen in like two years.
Well, this post was a little all over the place but that’s how life is like right now. I know, no new pictures, but I haven’t seen Sam in a few days as he is working 2 weeks on 1 weekend off. I will try to take some new ones this weekend. I am babysitting on Saturday and then I think celebrating my birthday on Saturday evening because Sunday is Mother’s Day, and even its my actual b-day it will harder to celebrate it.
