first time at el nopal

So this is completely not school related but I had a great night. Got to hang with my favorite 4 girls (guess who), saw my dads new place, ran by moms, and then...my first time at el nopal! I have heard about the Mexican greatness there and I have to say my quesadilla roja was amazing. Thanks to my aunt sheree for taking me there. She rocks. And now, although I should be report writing or something, I'm lounging in bed. Might even go to sleep early tonight. Love this feeling. :)

results

So, I didn't update the day of quals...but I passed! I really thought I failed the whole dang time. I was sure of it. My sister was so nice, she got me flowers and a balloon to congratulate me and we went to Cracker Barrel. An egg sandwich and hasbrown casserole was the perfect celebration :)

summer?

It's May 16th. I have started my summer classes. It's supposedly "summer" now. But how come its 50 degrees out and I need to worry about school more now than earlier in the year. I guess thats how it goes as you get older. But I had a great weekend. Dinner with OMOS girls Friday and Villebilles show, Engagemtn party Saturday and got to hang with the Blakely's (hilarious). Sunday = hangin with some wild animals (Savannah & Lily)...and tigers etc, then family dinner for Bacci1 and Allison's birthdays. So now Monday has arrived and I remember I have to take my oral qualifying exam this Friday...better get to studying ;)

you can't always get what you want...

But I did! Found out today that I've been placed at Central State for my primary P4 site and VA Neuropsych for a supplemental assessment practicum. I am SO excited. The placement at Central State will give me the SMI experience I need (psychosis, personality disorders, suicidality, etc.) Not to mention that as I have talked about before I do not get paid for prac. However! Central State has federal grant and I will be paid $12000 for the year!!! Yayy...then I get to keep the health psych goin by doin the Neuropsych stuff. I am ecstatic. I feel like I just won on Wheel of Fortune! Thanks Pat and Vanna! Holla

Workin for the man

I am officially sick and tired of restaurant work. I mean completely OVER IT. I work but don't make any money. I also just hate being there because I feel like it is such a joke. This is probably not the case in all restaurant work...ours is such a little gem. I would love it if I could find out what my practicum for P4 is but no. I have been checkin my email for over a week since they decided and no one sees a problem with holdin that info hostage...
In happier news, ET turns 23 in less than an hour. This means until November we are only 2 years apart and I feel like less of a cougar. Then I will turn 26 and go back to laughin at him watchin Spongebob and thinkin I'm a cradle robber.
Peace out.
