Nearing the end

Summer is coming to a close quickly for me. Today I had a workshop and then I go back to work on Wednesday. That means I have this weekend and Monday and Tuesday to get the last of my summer list of things done. Unfortunately this weekend is a family reunion. I am thinking I may just not go even though it will make my mom unhappy. I also have a dog who needs attention and medicine at certain times of the day. I also don't want to spend my last weekend of summer in a car driving for many hours.

Since summer is ending it also means my time in grad school is also ending. Even though it is almost over, I still have several assignments to get done. One assignment is due on Saturday and is relatively simple. The others are my research paper that is due by Tuesday and another assignment called a Thought Piece which is due next week as well. It seems like I have less of a desire to get these last assignment done than I have for anything else in all of my classes.

And We'll Have Fun Fun Fun...

It is summer and that means occasionally having a little fun. Tonight my sister and I did just that. We headed to Putt-Putt and had some fun with mini golf and arcade games. We started with the golf even though it was about 100 degrees outside still. At first we just kept tying so that it looked like no one was going to be a winner. After a few more holes I finally pulled ahead by 2 putts and stayed in the lead. I even had some fun with 2 holes in 1 in a row!! After we finished sweating to death outside, we headed inside to eat our dinner. Pizza for 7.50 isn't bad even if it was just a frozen pizza that they cooked. We ate almost all of it then headed over to play games. Most of the games we played were just the kind to get tickets. After we had blown through about $15 in tokens we gathered all of our tickets and headed for the prizes. Since we aren't kids and only had about 500 tickets, most of the prizes were things we wouldn't want. I chose a deal of Rolos and then let Jill spend the rest of the tickets.

We left there but weren't ready to go home so we headed to one of our favorite places Barnes and Noble. I usually don't buy anything there but look for some of the new releases that might interest the kids at school. Tonight they were rearranging a lot of the books and we just looked around a little. We will have to go back in a week or 2 to see where they have moved everything.

So even though it is my summer and I am working on school work I have proven that I do still know how to have some fun. Next week will be a lot more busy so there will be less time to play. Hopefully I'll get to have a little fun though.

Celebration Time!!

Well as of 3:00 today it is official. I GET TO GRADUATE IN AUGUST!!! I survived the Capstone experience even with dealing with a sick family. I am sooooo happy that it is over. Now I just have to finish the class I am in and hopefully get an A to keep my 4.0.

In some unfun news, the last 2 days have spent cleaning up the house so that the AT&T Uverse can be installed tomorrow. I know this will end up as a good thing because the house will be slightly cleaner and we will have better TV, internet, and phone service than we have now.

Now it is time to get very serious with my house hunting. I have been surfing the internet looking at houses through various realtors and have found a few that I like. Now I just need to get my approval from the bank and head to the realtor to find the final one. I am hoping to have the house before school starts which means I am in a tight crunch.
