10 Things Employers Want You to Learn in College: The Know-How You Need to Succeed
By William D. Coplin, Bill Coplin

Yay!  Finally things are looking up.  My sister actually gets that I'm not going to attack her for marrying the dips%^*.  She is actually starting to understand the value of money. 

     Counseling has helped me deal with the situation alot. It helps not to have to carry so much rage all the time.  It also helps that now  I can work out and I've found a new hobby.  SEWING!  I learned how to use a sewing mchine today.  So now instead of sending off applications and finishing all these stupid teaching projects I have yet another thing to aid in my procrastination efforts.

   Things really seem to be improving.  I'm beginning to rebuild my life.  Still have motivation issues but I'm in a bible study I enjoy, I'm volunteering in archives again and I'm going to some St. Marys social this Friday- that is if Sarah and I can figure out where it is.

 Speaking of archives I had to volunteer under the guy  who got the job I wanted.  At least he enjoys the position.  I would have been even more bitter if he didn't even care about it.  On to bigger and and better things for me. 

  I still need to learn patience but at least I'm starting to see God working in my life again.

  Ok thats enough randomness for today.

Human Exceptionality : School, Community, and Family (8th Edition)

I survived my first two days of school.  These long blocks of class are not going to be fun.  Today i have my third first day of class.  I'm getting kinda frustrated because the rec schedule and my schedule don't work so well together.  This has been one crazy week.  Monday was my friend Christy's 21st birthday.  It was alot of fun.  We met up at her place had pizza and sweets then headed to the Chicken.  I didn't realize how much I missed the place.  We kept telling the guys we were going to " the bathroom"  and went over to the Dry Bean to take shots instead.  Lots of fun- until I woke up yesterday. I had to go to my Tuesday classes hung over- not fun.  Luckily today i am sober.  Its really awkward being in education classes.  I was fine in my history class because I actually knew people but in the education classes I feel like an outsider.  I guess time will fix that.

I'm still really wondering if I made the right choice.  I am having the hardest time getting myself to do the reading which has never been a problem for me before.  In all honesty i've just been feeling really lonely.  I didn't realize how many of my friends graduated.  I know God has me here for a reason I just wish I could figure it out.  All I can do is pray that God will show me.

Well, a week ago i graduated from Texas A&M, but it still hasn't really hit me.  I am still going to be in CS taking classes so I can enter the Post- Bac. Graduate Certification program.  My parents have taken me home to try to get me to relax.  It worked a little.  I have gotten few some books from the incredibly long list of books I wanted to read this summer.  i have managed to get to the eleventh book in the Left Behind series.  I am also currently reading The Purpose Driven Life, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince and Lost.  Yeah I'm a total nerd and proud of it.  All the other Anthropology majors were teasing me about being cum laudse and having the double major star by my name.  My mom keeps on saying," may you always be teased for being an over achiever."

     I am just praying that I've made the right decisions.  I guess I'll find that out later.
