it is official, i am a shitty blogger :)

sorry again for my inconsistent blogging. All i have to say is grad school is hard. :) there are only 4 weeks left of school for the semester and i have so much work that is due before that time. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but i am sure it will all get done. So, quitting my job has been such a great decision. my last day is this coming tuesday. i am so excited to be able to have some time to really work on all these papers that are due in the next few weeks.

well, this week has been pretty great...busy, but great. my internship went well this week. Miriam and I started a study skills group, which is more like a classroom group than a processing group since there are 19 students. It was so much fun. it reminded me of my days at the rape crisis center. It helped me realize again how much i really love presenting and educating others. it was a great feeling.

i saw Matrix Revolutions on Wednesday with Michael and his cousin (Gabe) and Gabe's girlfriend (Becky). I dont care what anyone says, i loved it. I thought the end was awesome. I thought the way they resolved the whole thing was perfect. I liked that there was so much heroism (sp?). i like that Neo had a choice and he chose to sacrifice himself for the better good of others. I loved it.

I wasnt feeling very good last night, i think it is sleep deprivation. I need to work on getting to bed before 2, so that i can wake up at 6:30 in time to get to my internship and not feel so icky and sleepy. :) I will work on that for next week. :)

well, there was a slight dilemma yesterday when i tried to buy my sis and a few of her friends tickets to the Matrix because they are only 16. Plano has some crazy strict movie managers. basically, the manager told me that the only way they could watch the movie is if a parent watches the movie with them. not only does that parent have to buy the tickets, but they have to watch the movie also. Anyway, this made me very angry, since my parents said it was fine for my sis to watch the movie. Anyway, it all worked out in the end, i bought the tickets and they were able to get in just fine. I really did piss me off though, that the theatre felt they could override a parent's decision. Anwwho. :)

well, today i have a 20 page policy paper to write. I am writing it on the topic of the violence against women act. I have collected a lot of research that i have found very interesting. I dont think the paper will be that bad. My goal is to get it done today. :) it is worth 70% of my final grade in my policy class, so there is some pressure for me to do well on this paper, but i think it will work out fine.

as far as plans for the weekend go, i plan to see will tonight. i feel like i havent seen him in forever. i am looking forward to catching up with him. tommorrow, there will be more paper writing and then lunch and a movie with Jenn. then, possibly more paper writing in the evening. sunday, i hope to see Elf. I think that movie is going to be so funny. i also want to see Love Actually. You know me and romantic comedies. I told Miriam we could see that one together, so i am going to try and find some time this weekend to make that work.

well, i am off to start the paper writing. have a great friday everyone.
