Is the semester over yet?

So I was thinking this was going to be the best semester EVER!! Well I think I overloaded my plate a little too much!! I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning in all the stuff I have to do. It seems like all my classes have a ton of stuff due all this week and next, hopefully this means after I get past these next few weeks it will be a lot easier. The problem is just getting past these next few weeks!! I will spare you all the sob story of my life, lets just say it has been rough this past week! I'm just wanting the semester to be over and I can go home to Kentucky and not have to worry about anything, except for my online class and trying to find a way to get experience in the social work field!!

I keep telling myself, only 3 more years and I'm done with school!! I have a year left until I graduate with my bachelors, and then another 2 years of grad school and then I'm done, but after this week I'm wondering if I have it in me!! Can't I just quit ;).

So this past weekend I went to Utah and had fun visiting 2 college campuses to see where I might want to go to grad school, much to my dismay I fell in love with the BYU campus. I was bound and determined to hate BYU and not want to go there at all. Well that is just not the case, I just LOVED the social work building, and love the location of it, I met a few of the faculty and saw the projects they are working on and just feel like it would be a great fit! Also it is the cheapest option, and would totally open up doors to work for the church, which is something I would love to do! The only thing about that is I have to be very competitive, so that means I can't slack off in any of my classes!! The social work program only accepts 30 people into their program each year, so I have to make sure I have the BEST letter of intent, and letters of recommendation, lots of social work experience and good grades, no pressure right??

Well right now I've decided to take a break, and I painted my nails, and am having a fun movie night with my roommate, it feels good to just do something fun for once!! I will pay for it tomorrow when I'm in the library all day working on the millions of things I have to turn in on Monday and Tuesday, but hey no big deal right?? I do have the best visiting teacher though, she brought me a cut up apple, carrots, broccoli, and fruit sticks because she heard I was having a bad day and wanted to bring me a treat but not break my diet!! Totally made my night!!

One last thing, my brother and his wife's adoption profile is up, so hopefully I will be getting more than one new niece or nephew soon!! check out their profile and share it with anyone and everyone that might know someone looking to place their baby for adoption, I might be biased but I think they are the best!! https://www.itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/23971881/ourMessage.jsf
