Oh yeah thats another low for my day, same as angelic. Boys are confusing.

P.S. I don't like playing games.

Highs: Both of my clients cancelled for today. This means a much lightened work load for the week!

Lows: I don't have any yet. It's been such a good day thus far!

High: I just signed up as a volunteer for the NMSU athletics marketing department. Its really cool b/c I am a marketing major and I get to work with hot football/basketball/baseball players! Yippee!!!!

Low: Woke up this morning and looked at my day planner. Realized I had a test today. Yikes! I didn't even study! But the good part is that I did good on it.

Suzi

Highs: Leaving work early again today.. though bc I have to drive into Richmond to drop off something..

Lows: Nothing here.. today has been really really nice actually even if I am still a little sick.. :D

Highs: It's 4:19pm. I can leave in 41 minutes!

Lows: I feel miserable. I have been like crap for the last few weeks. I really want to leave work now because I think I'm going to start crying.

HIgh: Attending the delivery for healthy premature triplets this morning (ok... 1 am, but that's STILL this morning). Two boys and a girl and all are doing great!!

Low: We're under a tornado watch and thunderstorm warning... it's POURING out (at least no hail).... so of course, my satellite TV has no signal. Guess I'm not going anywhere until it's over (hey, at least I still have power!!)

High: Going out with my big sis last night and not having to pay for anything because she knew the manager! Getting two out of the three recommendation letters I need for my internship. :D

Lows: Being really tired all day, missing my class, having to be in the panhellenic exec video and coming back afterwards to write a 6-8 page paper on a 30 minute news broadcast. :(

Highs: I had a great day, feel like I did well on my ASL 4 test, and now it's officially Spring Break! :D

Lows: I fell down the steps after class, and I've twisted my right ankle. It better heal up soon because I have a long drive to IL on Saturday!

Highs: It's friday! I'm also going to the British Isles show with my mum tonight. It should be fun, and it's a nostalgia trip for my mum. I know she really misses England sometimes.

Lows: Nothing really. I'm feeling better today. I was very cranky yesterday. All I wanted to do was put my pj's on and crawl into bed and watch tv.

Highs: We were invited to colonize at NCSU! I got initiated into Phi Beta Kappa yesterday!

Lows: I had a 24-hour stomach bug yesterday. :(

Highs: Its friday :) its so nice out again today :)

a friend of mine from hs (also my hs boys best friend) told a coworker (his sister-in-law) of my mom's the best "comment" (well just leave it at that since its a real long story) about me.. made my day yesterday :D

Lows: my throat is killing me and I still have a cough.. at least I dont feel sick to my stomach or my head doesnt hurt anymore.

Highs: Had a very relaxing weekend. I hung out with my friend on sunday, and she's getting married in June. I am so happy and excited for her!

Suzi

Highs: I'm getting a makeover and a new tattoo on saturday. I'm super excited: I'm going with three of my friends and we're all getting one done. It'll be my 4th, one of my friend's 2nd, another guy's 3rd, and another guys's first one!!

Lows: Still a day and a half to go till saturday :(

Highs: Yeah for a great Spring Break! I spent a week in IL with my bf. I was able to visit Northwestern and absoultely LOVED it!

Lows: Tonight marks the end of my break. I'm stressing because I have a lot of work to do for this week. Also, I just found out that Illinois State declined me, and Eastern IL put me on the waiting list. I really hadn't planned to go to either school, but it still hits the ego a bit.

Highs: I got my tattoo on sunday. I love it!

Lows: A good friend got into a terrible car accident on friday. His car was totaled. Luckily he is ok and no one else was hurt. But he could of been killed. Some people think that just because he wasn't killed it's not a horrible accident. But he is a good friend, and just knowing that it could of been worse makes it horrible. Why do some people have to be so cold?

Highs: Things havent been too stressful lately.. always a plus.. my brother and sister-in-law came to visit this past weekend..

Lows: the weather is kind of icky.. things have been boring around here lately..

Lady Pi Phi.. having lost way too many friends in car accidents and had friends in serious ones (where we live accidents are a huge problem for teenagers on these back roads..) I can sympathize.. I hope that they are doing better..

High: Got to talk to my sister in OHio for an hour (we do a lot of phone tag)! That would be my real, blood sister (although she is a Pi Phi too. I was chapter secretary when she was initiated!)

Low: I have strep throat and fill miserable (hmmm, which is worse, the pain in the throat, or the pain in the butt where I got an injection of penicillin?).. they tell me that by taking the injection, I'll feel better by tomorrow......

Highs: Only another week until my three year anniversary with my bf. :) Also, it's the weekend and the weather is great! (Oh yeah, I got into Ball State's grad school program.)

Lows: I have sooo much work to do. I'm still torn with choosing a grad school. It's tough when you LOVE a program but your parents won't support you with your choice. (And by that I mean emotional support.) Also, I still haven't heard back from the #3 grad school pick. I'm going to have to make a decision soon!!

Highs: Last night was our informal at Don Pablos and I had so much fun beforehand with my roommate and some other girls.

Lows: Finding out that my grandma went into kidney failure this morning. :(

High: It's officially Spring Break!

Low: I'm having surgery for my spring break, boo!!

Highs: My tattoo is healing nicely and I bought a whole bunch a new clothes on saturday.

Lows: I am really dissapointed with H & M. I went to their new store here in Toronto on friday and they only went to size 16. I know for a fact that their stores in London have larger sizes then that because I have a pair of pants and a shirt from them. Needless to say I didn't buy anything from them and I was really cranky. Also the sales associates were very rude and the store was really dirty. I was not impressed.

Highs: I get to go home on Friday and one of my close Pi Phi sisters turned 21 today! :D

Lows: My grandma wants to risk a kidney transplant at the age of 80, my computer crashed last night in the middle of writing a paper proposal with all of my sources saved in electronic format (I lost 90% of it) and my $300 sound card is not being recognized now that I have the computer up and running.

It's already not my week :(

Highs: Umm...are there any? Oh yeah, I picked up my graduate tickets. Thank goodness I graduate soon! And, a close friend of mine got into grad school. :)


Lows: My parents and I are still fighting over my grad school decision. Seriously, they are guilt tripping me into doing what they want me to do. My dad called me today and forced me into talking. They won't listen to me. I talked with my dept. head today and almost started crying. I hate this.

High- my in-laws left yesterday after a long weekend :) (they aren't that bad but I'm glad for the down time!)

Low- finding out my patient has stage 3 colon cancer and only months to live.

p.s. Erin- speech pathology is the greatest job in the world! keep working towards it ;)

Erniegurl-- it's YOUR life and YOUR career. Unless your parents are paying for it, your choice of grad school should be what's best for YOU, not them. I feel for you though. My sisters were not happy when I moved to Texas but I told them that unless they were willing to pay my bills for me, I had to work (I"m single) and as much as I love them, I had to go where there were jobs. It's better now and give your parents time. Stay away from emotion and just present the facts why you've made a good choice (find job placement stats for grads if possible). Good luck!

Thanks for the words of wisom. The decision is a hard one to make. The problem is that I'm an only child, and my parents are 1. afraid of losing me, 2. afraid of Chicago, and 3. afraid I'll have a huge amount of loans to pay off after grad school. It's true, I'll have to take a chunk of $$$ out for Northwestern, but they have a top notch school for speech path. My supervisor says that I will have no problem paying off the loans, and my bf (soon to be fiancee I hope!) believes it won't greatly effect our fiances once we settle down.

I do try to talk with my parents, but it's extremely hard. When I try to rationally talk with them they tend to start the guilt trip and bombard me with reasons why I should go with their choice. When I try to explain why I want to go to Northwestern they simple grumble. Sigh.

Anyway, thanks again for the support. I don't have many I can talk to about this or who have gone through similar experiences, so advice and warm thoughts are great!

Ok, I'll step back again. Too many lows for one day! :)

PS. Speechpath..I love this field. I have therapy tomorrow and am anxious to see how it goes. :) My little client always seems to make my day brighten.

Erin,

You can only imagine at this point how much you will gain from going into this field. I often tell my patients I learn far more from them than they learn from me. It is so rewarding.

As for loans and $$$, I'm still paying off mine but find them easy to manage. The job outlook is so good right now too whether with peds or adults.

Keep your head up, things always work out as they should and I agree with Karen, give your parents some time and they will come around. :p

Highs: We're having initiation on saturday!!! I am looking forward to seeing my sisters. I haven't seen them in a long time.

Lows: cute Irish boy is not at work today :( . My friends think I should asking him out, but I don't have the courage to do it.

Highs: We are having retreat this weekend with big sis revealing....weve had clue week this week and its been tons of fun! I am also finally done with the 5 tests i had this week...

Lows: My godmother is having domestic problems and her husband is cheating on her, but she doesnt want to divorce him because he is threatening to take custody away from her with their adopted child, and he has been bribing the kid with money and objects..and since hes old enough(14) ..he has a voice in it. so shes been hiding out at our house.
ETA: My godmother is like my aunt..my moms best friend...

Havent posted in a while so there have been a bunch..

Highs: just finished watching my fav tv show.. american dreams.. best show by far on tv (i have my entire family hooked now).. went to outback with my brother for dinner on friday to hang out, our church held a womanless beauty pageant to raise money last night (it was hilarious.. couldnt stop laughing at my dad dressed up as a woman.. we raised $10,400 too :D

Lows: hhmm.. in a great mood cant think of any lows other than next week is the season finale of american dreams.. haha can you tell i look forward to watching this show every sunday night

its been forever since I've been to GC. I missed it.

High: Had a nice evening with my 3 best friends from my pledge class. And got to hang out with my cute Kappa Sigma make out partner/buddy.

Low: Its the end of spring break and one of the 3 girls from above got mad at me. My step mom made my break terrible and I have a huge zit on my chin. And one of my best guy friends and I always have movie night and we didn't have it tonight and I really needed to talk with him. And found out Matt got kicked of American Idol...Sorry Erniegirl...

Hopefully this week will get better.

LOL Suzi! I was actually ok when Matt was kicked off of American Idol. Since watching the finals I have two new favorites I'm rooting for. Of course I'm having a total brain fart right now and can't think of their names....George I want to say? And the girl from Hawaii who always wears the flower in her hair. I'm addicted now.

Anyway....

Highs: This weekend marked my 3 year anniversary with my bf, Jeremy. We spent it by seeing Dawn of the Dead (actually it was MY idea. We like scary/zombie movies.) and by going out to eat.

I decided to go to IU's grad school. It was my decision, and I'm happy with it. Yes, the fight with my parents is now over. :)

Lows: Tonight was my last Pi Phi chapter. It was a very bitter sweet time.


PS. Jharb, sweetie I hope you feel better!!!

Thanks so much erniegurl!

Highs: ummm...having enough change to buy a sprite at the vending machine?!? (there haven't been many highs lately)

Lows: having this icky stomach virus which made me miss senior walkout last night...90% of my closest Pi Phi friends are seniors and I feel horrible I missed their advice portion of chapter!

If anyone knows of any cures to a very nasty stomach virus please send them my way!

Highs: The parents of my clients are the best! They let me switch my therapy times so I can go back to IU with a fav teacher of mine to really explore the campus and meet faculty/students.

Lows: I think I just open a virus onto my computer, but no matter what I do I can't find anything wrong on my computer. I just know that something is there!


Jharb, you're just going to have to let the stomach flu pass. Keep fluids in as much as possible, and try to keep crackers or any other bread product in if you can. If you want to know the advice just ask me. Mine was just to wear your badge proudly and correctly. You know how anal I am about wearing it right. :)
