CARDS vs cats

Today is the rivalry game & new years eve. Having been raised in Louisville, attending school at UofL, having a cheerleading practices in high school at the same place that the cards cheer & dance practices, &  working at Cardinal Hall of Fame = Patti the cards fan. However, I will admit, when I was really young, I wanted to be a cats fan! What?! That's like treason! My Nanny is a fan of the blue, so I wanted to be like her. Thankfully I found my way back home to the red side. And now I have so much black & red clothing its ridiculous.

Moving on to the new year...2012! I can't believe its here! I will be getting married, moving somewhere for internship, & taking my last classes EVER!! (couples therapy & multicultural II) this has been a long time coming & now its actually happening. I feel like I'm in a dream. Still a lot to do & its very stressful, but my goals are being reached. Now if I could just force myself to get out of bed & get some shit done today, maybe I'll check things off the to do list :)

P.S. New Years Resolution = working out or physical activity 3 times a week. That's reasonable. Plus, I want to spend nichole times with my nieces before I move!

Chiristmas time!

Christmas is quickly approaching. I am happy to have such a family filled weekend and get some quality time with my boo thang too! I have been picking up Christmas presents here and there, but I still don't have Eric's big gift...I'll be taking him shopping for that. Also trying to preapre for internship interviews...booked a flight to Cleveland and a car, hotel in Indy, and still need to get a hotel in Tuscaloosa! Luckily, I am bargain hunting, so I don't think the process will be too pricey. I was so excited yesterday because my bag for interviews finally came in and I LOVE it!

I got it in Gunmetal. It has tons of pockets and the inside is light colored material so it won't be superhard to find stuff. That's all my rambling for now. PEACE

The drought is over

On Friday, I got another no. Then, later in the day when my hope was dwindling for a worry-free weekend, I got an email from St. Louis. I said a little prayer before opening the email like always and it was a YES!! I called & texted people frantically. My mom, sister, & step-dad came by to congratulate me...they surprised me. I am super duper happy. One interview isn't a lot but it seems like so much more after 5 rejections. Went out to eat with my OMOS girls on Friday & we decided our February get-together was gonna be to see New Edition and K-Ci & JoJo :)

I am really hoping we get to see Bobby like that ^^ rather than like this....

But who am I kidding, I will watch Bobby Brown entertain even if he is a mess. That's part of his appeal.

I need to vent for a minute

Let me tell you a little story. This girl is smart. She goes to college and decides she wants to figure out a career to make her happy...she chooses psychology because it is interesting. She likes to help people (but doesn't have the balls to be a nurse) so she decides that a PsyD would be nice since that is more clinical than a PhD

...fastforward through 8 years of hard work & procrastination & late nights. A few things lie in the path to get the dang degree. One is called internhip. You have to apply to places. Then you wait to see IF you get an interwiew. Then you go on interviews (and pay $$ to get there, have a suit, get a hotel, blah blah blah)...THEN you rank where you want to go & they rank who they want and MAYBE you get matched somewhere. That's a maybe because in 2011, 21% of people did NOT match...the had to wait another year and do it again! SO, if you guessed, I am that dumb girl. I chose this dumb career that I love when I could have gotten a different degree and been making $$ now and not have to move away...


So my current status is that I have gotten 4 NOs for interviews. No YESs. That is really sucky. I still have 11 more sites to hear from, but it blows chunks that I have to wait...wait...wait...check email incessantly...OH THERE'S AN EMAIL FROM A SITE!!!...Oh they don't want to email me (We regret to inform you...) & then wait...

You get the picture.

URGH *@*%#?!!! I mean sorry for the negativity when I have been tyring to be positive, but for real that's how it is...SO I've told myself to get over it and not think about what my standing is until I hear back from the rest of the sites I applied to. SCHNIKES
