What a weekend...

Have to say this has been one of the MOST eventful weekends ever. It started on Friday. The girls and I celebrated being DONE with classes. Forever. We had a blast. Saturday was filled with watching season three of Friends, taking a fabulous nap, and going to a house warming party. Today, consequently, was the day that I tried to catch up on studying for my two finals.

You may ask, though, what was the best part of the weekend?? The two hours I spent at the ER tonight to be told I have CONJUCTIVITIS! This is fondly known as pink eye. I honestly don't know how in the world I got it. I didn't wake up with my eyes glued shut, so I wasn't quite sure it was pink eye. By the evening my eyes hurt so much that I didn't go to Mass and went to the ER because minor emergency was closed. My wonderful friend Shari went with me and we were actually able to study Becker while we were in the waiting room! All I could do was laugh. My last week in Pullman I come down with pink eye. I just hope it is gone by Saturday. I just happen to be GRADUATING that day!!!!


(Girls's night- pre pink eye!)

Drop Dead Gorgeous and FAR

On Saturday night Amy, Kim, Carley, Michelle, and Rachel came over for girls night. We did our nails and toes which watching Drop Dead Gorgeous. Makes me want to move to Mount Rose,Minnesota, dontcha know! Then Calley, Mallory and I traveled to Spokane to take FAR yesterday. Can I just say that it was the HARDEST test I have ever taken? I honestly have no idea how I did. We'll see in June. I hope all of the time I spent studying (8 weeks!) paid off. The best part of Spokane? Being introduced to the 80's pop band POP! ( ya know, Hugh Grant's old band in Music & Lyrics?)

FLIP FLOPS!

For the first time this year I was able to wear flip flops! It is a beautiful 66 degrees and sunny. And, did anyone else grow up calling them "thongs"? I did. One time in high school gym I was excited about getting to wear them and shouted, "Hey! I got to wear thongs today!" Then someone asked me if I usually wore two pairs of panties.

Are we done yet?

Four things:

1) 17 years of school are almost done. 6 weeks and change. I pick up my hood tomorrow. All that is left of my college career: two tests and a quiz. I need someone to motivate me to stay motivated! I am excited, but a little apprehensive. School is the only thing I have known.

2) I am really missing my friends who aren't in Pullman. Old church friends, my Jewish sister (well, my Jewish sister in a musical), EY friends. Friends in Cambodia, friends in the Bronx. Friends with a new little baby girl! I love you all and miss you dearly.

3) EY was at the Beta Alpha Psi meeting last night! Jenny, Laura, Erika, and Chuck came over to talk to the undergrads. We went to The Coug afterwards and had so much fun catch up.

4) I am in love with this beauty:

Is it almost spring???

I am done. Done I say! Enough with the snow! It is NOT ok for it to snow in March! I slipped getting out of my car this morning. Maybe that is why I am so angry with Pullman's bipolar weather. Earlier this week it was beautiful: sunny and 45 degrees. No snow.Now it is ice, snow, and 24 degrees. When the calander flips to March, all snow should go away (well, maybe not in the mountains). Apparently my memo wasn't received.



Ok- rant done =)



I am really looking forward to spring, though. You can spend more time outside, baseball is back, cute spring colors and clothes, and the end of school. All things I love. Anywho, I think it is time for some updates!

• Passed my oral exam- I may just graduate after all!
• I am LOVING studying for FAR. Financial accounting makes me smile.
• Made it to women's group last night- we talked about the Transfiguration and how God is calling us to listen. Not just to Him, but to those around us. Who might you know that needs someone to listen?
• Instead of giving something up for Lent, I took something on. I am reading a chapter of the Bible every night. Right now I am in the book of Esther.
• Have fallen in love with Jimmy again. I had a huge crush on him when he was on SNL, and now he is back! Check out http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/. Love it! I needed someone to replace Jason as my unrealistic celebrity crush.

Busy Bee

The past few weeks have been insanely busy, but I now have a few days to decompress before it starts again. It started with Mallory, Shari, Calley and I thinking we could study and take BEC(Business Environment and Concepts) in three weeks. Were we out of our minds?! Becker on top of classes makes for one hectic schedule. We drove up to Spokane on Thursday night and stayed with Calley's family (have to say I LOVE the Ryan family!) and then took the exam Friday morning. It went well- I think! I won't know until May, though. The rest of the weekend has been filled with catching up on reading for my actual classes and revising my oral case file memo. We don't start studying for FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting)until Friday. A week without Becker?! I am going to enjoy this! So- if you want to be my friend, it better be this week!


It is sad to report that this is all my life has consisted of ove the past weeks. I have no life. What is keeping me going is that fact that I might be a CPA at the end of all this. BUT- one thing that is really filling me is that I started singing at church! Singing is just something that makes me happy, so this has been wonderful. Another thing I look forward to are my Bachelor dates with Teresa. For those of you out there who are watching the show: who do you think he is going to pick?! I really like Melissa and Jillian. Don't care for Molly too much.

Lastly- I received my start date! August 5th! So excited. Seattle, here I come!
