I seek forgiveness. I completely neglected this site over the past, I don't even know. I haven't even kept up with my friends' entries. I have tried to catch on every so often but my life just kept getting busier and busier and my internet rarely worked for a long consecutive time.

Anyway, so I just looked and I haven't posted since November. I guess you could say a lot has gone on since then haha. First off, Greg and I are doing wonderful. We have a kitten together and we have entertained the idea of us living together, but chose not to seclude ourselves during our last year. But we are planning on staying together after graduation and trying to find schools in the same city. So that's always good news.

Sorority life is going pretty well. I have been elected Vice President, which is phenomenal. I always thought it was an office that didn't do a whole lot, and then I realized that it was just that nobody had been doing anything. So I have been working hard at trying to get things straightened out and have everybody work together like they are supposed to be doing. This past semester didn't really work out so well, so this summer my plan is to try to get things all planned and all organized and the only thing the girls have to do is just follow directions. Generally a very very difficult task for most of them, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some competence as my last semester in office begins. Other than that, things are good with them, just typical day-to-day drama and irritating habits.

School life, there isn't much to complain about. I went to the Psychology conference in Memphis the day after my birthday. It was amazing, I love Memphis. Can't say I learned much about Psychology though, haha but oh well. I got to drink with my professors, in certain aspects, that can be more influential then anything discussed at the symposiums. I have signed up to do research with one of my professors for this past semester and this upcoming one. So this summer also means lots of independent research to figure out what it is that I want to analyze from the huge data set she has given me free reign to determine what I can. I am practically done all my classes, I just have two business ones and my senior sem. That means that my senior year should actually be somewhat fun and relaxing. Minus the fact that I am planning on keeping my job at McAlisters and I am also hoping to get an internship at the High Point Regional Hospital in their Psych ward, we'll see how that goes for me.

Speaking of work, McAlister's loves me haha. I am the only competent worker there and they pretty much begged me to stay because the people there are crazy and the managers didn't want to have to deal with them by themselves. It's a fun environment and it is nice to have respect and recognition from the managers and employees. I sometimes wonder if I should just screw over the whole psych thing and just run a restaurant... haha okay maybe only half think about that.

So summer plans, as most of you all should know, I am home. Working at Unilever again, making tons of money, trying to save it so I can go to graduate school. However, my parents are never around and so I end up paying for all of this stuff. So I am not really sure how much I am saving, but I am doing my best. My parents are nuts by the way. Completely stressing me out beyond belief. I know they don't mean to, but every little pieces of advice they give me usually contradicts what the other parent is saying and while they keep telling me to make my own decisions, whichever decision I make is never good enough or is undermined by the supposed influence from the other parent. AHHHHHHHHHH They kill me. Plus, they hate Greg... Yeah let's talk about that... super fun. He's coming up here Thursday by the way, for a week. And has to spend all day with my mom and dad because I have to work until 11pm. I don't know what is going to happen, but apparently my mom is less than thrilled to have him around.

I GIVE UP lol

Ummm any other news, not really.. I have no time for anything this summer apparently. I wake up, go to the gym, go tanning, eat lunch. Make food for work, shower, go to work until 11pm. Come home and study GRE stuff (or try to atleast) and maybe watch some tv. Go to bed and do it all over again. And the past two weekends I have worked on Saturday as well. And then last Sunday was Father's Day so couldn't do anything then and then this weekend is a family trip to the National Zoo so no free time there either. Oh well, hopefully I will get a chance to hang out with everyone more than once this summer. That's my one wish anyway.

Oh by the way, family... My sister is going to the MICA precollege art program... Weeeirrrddd, I didn't think she was good enough. Guess I just want her to be little still. I have anxiety thinking about helping her move in to college next year and this house being empty all the time. And then I think about how I don't know what I am doing, where I will be, or anything like that which only causes more stress.

The end result..... I just want to go back to high school where all we had to worry about were people stealing our shoes or lunch bags or turning our bookbags into nuggets. Where we had to try and think real hard about nicknames for everyone and always gossiping and telling stories about our favorite teachers... Oh the days, I'm not ready for the future.

Anyway, hopefully I will keep this up again like I was doing soo well before. (I'M SORRY KTO!!!) I'm hoping that I haven't left anything out.


Here's a picture of our baby, he is quite larger now though. He's like three times the size, but just so you all can see my pride and joy. If you ask nicely, or even just mention, I will show you the billions of pictures on my phone. Even Kathleen thought he was cute in the pictures and she doesn't like cats.. haha
