I feel like my blog is full of cobwebs.... Haven't written in a while! And trust me I have a lot to share. Yes, I know, I am in class right now and should be intently watching these presentations that are jsut SO interesting......(not) but really, I can't focus on them. They aren't anything that I need for my finals anyway.
Finals...yes. Next week I have finals. Ready for it to be OVER. I have everything I need turned in for the Education program in the fall and should be hearing from them sometime during the summer. Passed the GACE ;) SO thankful for that. I was way stressed. Really enjoying my Education classes(unless I'm sitting here doing something pointless like today). The papers haven't been too awful either,its just been a lot, very time consuming as you can tell since I haven't wrote in a while! The worst part has been the people.... Thre are jsut soem people that I am like... If you become a teacher.... oh my goodness.... Not only htat I have some VERY creepy and VERY obnoxious classmates.... For instance the guy sitting in this class right now with me that talks very loud and brags about how smart he is and how his kids are smart and answers EVERYTHING.... seriously dude.... seriously.
Enough about stupid people, I deal with too many of them. Moving onto something fun, I started Zumba back in February. I LOVE IT!! I am very close to being back in my 7/8 and having a flat stomach(that part is taking a little bit longer, but I am working on it. It feels so good to be feeling healthy. I would LOVE to see ANY of you reading this at Zumba! Proceeds go to the Ringgold Marching Tiger Band(woohoo!) and as Diane says, ITS JUST FUN! They also do Body Sculpting and Yoga/Pilates, so its a neat variety. Adding to that excitement, I am starting the path to becoming a certified Zumba instructor(scary!!!) Diane approached me about it and is working with me to make this long term. I really enjoy it. I just have to see how its going to work with my school schedule in the fall. I hope to get certified in that and help teach at Ringgold. Its very community based and I love it. Then my next project will be to become ACE certified for doing body sculpting and stuff like that. I just see this as something good. Its pushing me out of my comfort zone, its keeping me healthy, its relieving stress, and I am having a ton of fun with it. I taught my 1st song last week! And I am going to be working on more soon(afterfinals!) so I'm exciited.
.....the girl presenting right now, has a voice octive that is one lower than minnie mouse.....
anyways...
Health....speaking of.... I have a Drs appointment Friday.... the 27th(great day for that right?) I mean not that I am going to be emoitonal ENOUGH that day, lets just add to it! Its a well visit and they are sucking my blood and doing the full checkup on me and I just want to act like I am 5 right now and cry and scream and say DONT MAKE ME! ***Big baby... right here*** I just don't do good with going to the Dr. they called me to remind me today and it just totally ruined my morning. Plus, I am afriad. I am probably going to have to have my medicine upped, and I have a lot of questions about a lot of things and I don't want there to be anything wrong with me. Thankfully I have a great Dr, and bless her heart I've only seen her like 4 times and I have cried everytime..... She probably thinks I am crazy. =// Goal is not to cry until after I leave!
Really though, I think about it more and more and I'm like I have no reason to cry. There are people who are going to be crying for much worse reasons Friday, remembering.... hurting.... I cannot even believe that the year has gone by so fast. My heart still hurts. Unfortunately there are still pieces around us that are bruised and broken, and they are a constant reminder. My heart will be very tender Friday. There are so many things to be thankful for, and so much that has been healed. But the pain is still there. During spring break for Catoosa County Schools, the rest of the 8th grade/conections hall at the middle school was completely torn down. Its hard to look at it and remember what it once was. It was so sad to see it go. I am excited to see them working on it everyday. there is still just a lot of dirt there, but everything is being panned out for the new part of the building. SO exciting. =]
Adding more emotions, my precious Alsobrooks twins will be turning one that day. ONE ALREADY. They were just so tiny.... now they are crawling and babbling and turning ONE!! They wont be babies much longer. =...[ It is so hard seeing all of my kids grow up. It goes by too fast. Jared is like, you are going to be 10 times worse if we ever have kids. lol I probably will be. I have such a heart for children. I can't help it.
Birthday... Oh my goodness.... I am going to be 24.... And Jessica Cochran i know you are making a comment about me being old right now, so dont deny it! lol I really just hope I remember this birthday. I can't even remember what went on last year accept for what I was told. Thats how much I was shook up. I want to celebrate with my family and friends. I coudl care less about gifts and parites. I just need the people I love. 24.... next year will be 25.... a quarter of a century.... geez....
I'll be 26 when I graduate college. I'm so ready for it. But I am worried that people I love wont be around to see it. Many of you know my papa was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year. He is in remission, has been in remission for a while, but is struggling. Due to the medications and some complications from them, he was put in the hospital and lost the ability to swallow. The nerves in his neck were shot, and he is having to relearn swallowing and go to theropy for it. He was already weak to begin with, and with him not getting enough vitamins and food in him due to the swallowing issue, he got VERY weak. Has been in for fluids multiple times. As of right now, he is doing much better swallowing, being able to have thinks that can be smashed up very fine. He is still not feeling up to par and is very depressed. It kills me. Unfortunatly there is a lot of drama going on causing stress on everyone. And papa is very emotional and I just feel like he is losing the fight within him to carry on. I cannot WAIT to be done with school bc I feel like I havent been able to be over there hardly at all. I am so going to take him outside. I want him out of that house and in the sunshine. TV is not doing anything for him. Niether is sitting there being bored. I'm to the point where I want to just take charge and not care whaqt anyone else has to say about it or if they like it. This is my papa. He is the whole reason I am in school. I promised him I would do this. And I intend to keep that promise and want him around to see me accomplish it. And I am NOT about let ANYONE discourage that or discourage him. I am SO SICK of hearing about drama from all of this and the problems that are going on. I am so tired of my parents bneing stressed and worried all the time. I'm very tired of my mom crying. She does SO MUCH and is between there, a job, and a family at home. I'm terrified that she is going to get rundown herself. =[
Blah... need to turn this back to brighter notes.... I've relocated. Keri and I just had KFC for lunch(yes I know, not healthy, but it was quick and I was hungry and I'll pay for it at Zumba later. Lots of exciting stuff coming up, end of semester and birthday of course, and JESSICA COCHRAN IS TURNING 21!!!! ;) I've got her bday, matts bday, and tons of other bdays, Stephanie is graduating College and Amanda is graduating high school. and my beach trip is coming up soon!!! YESSSSS.
Update on Jared, he is STILL trucking through EMT class. about done with the 1st half. =] Has an possible job positions at Cartersville and Catoosa. Working alllll the time. But bless his heart he is so good to me. HE has been my rock and between my stress and his stress, I'm suprised I haven't drove him crazy. =] I am so blessed that he is in my life. Wishing he could take a vacation bc he totally deserves it. I really worry about him. He is nonstop.
I think I'm done for now.... My brain is shutting down... And its time for the next class. lol ;)
The conversation going on right now... gah... makes me miss my cousin. =//
Unitl next time...
