I'm getting pretty excited about Christmas this year. I'm almost done shopping. Adam seems pretty excited to. This will be our 3rd Christmas together.
I guess that's all for now.

Life after college....
Hmmm what to say about life after college. It's GREAT! I just find it hard to believe that this is my life now. I get to come home from work and do nothing. No homework. No papers to write. No tests to stress and panic over. I can just come home and spend time with my boyfriend and my dog. I love coming home to them. I really like my job. I don't plan on staying a teller forever but it's a good place to start.

I guess that's all for now.

Stressful times
The last 3 weeks have consisted of studying, writing papers, and some more studying. Its been extremely stressful and I have a feeling there will be a couple more of those times before May 7th gets here. I get so worried and upset over tests and school stuff that I make myself sick. I’ve had many sleepless nights. (up all night studying or just can’t sleep cause I’m so worried) I can’t wait to graduate! I have so many plans of things to do once I’m done and my life isn’t consumed with school work. Like read a book….not a textbook….because I want to. Start working out again. Attempt to take up running. (not sure how that one is going to work out). Practice cooking. Haha. Things of that nature. I’m just so ready to start the next stage in my life.
Enough about school. On a better note. Baseball season starts soon. Really soon. Its my favorite time of the year. Hopefully I’ll get to go to a game this season. Even though the boyfriend isn’t a big baseball fan (I’m working on changing his mind, haha) I need to go fishing too. I didn’t go at all last year. Fishing is really relaxing to me. Not sure why. But I love it.
Now time to watch American Idol. I’ve become addicted to it. Never really watched it before.

Long Day
Today was a long day and my mind seemed to wander alot. (well thats kinda every day) I've been really stressed out with school. I keep having dreams that i fail a class by one point and i dont graduate. Im so paranoid about it. Its constantly on my mind.
Work was crazy today. The copier wasnt cooperating and making my job very difficult. I really just wanted to throw it out the window. i feel like i got nothing accomplished. My boss brought up the fact that i'll be leaving soon and says he's very sad about it. And im pretty sad too. I really do like my job. Its fun and i really like everyone i work with. Theres never a dull moment. This may sound kinda dumb. But i can tell it's helped me come out of my shyness even more. Being forced to talk to people...whether its clients, people at the bank, the court house, other law offices, etc. and i just feel like I've grown as a person. (maybe that doesnt make since....oh well) But anyways, i've been lucky to love every job i've had so far. hopefully that continues to be a trend when I start my career.
other random thoughts from my day......(and this was really how the thoughts went)

- i really need a hair cut, but i wanna try something different but i dont know what, so i guess i'll just wait.
- maybe i'll go look for new boots tomorrow....no i should really work on my paper.
- I hope the weather is nice this weekend.....even though i'll probably be studying.
- I'm glad Adam got nice weather on his days off so he could get started on the privacy fence. but i hope he doesnt want to work on it while i'm there this weekend.
- I miss Dixie (yeah, thats my dog. i just love her so much) :)
- man, i love country music.

Well I did it....
So i finally decided to start a blog after months and months of thinking about it. I figure this will be a good way of documenting my random thoughts and life happenings.
I'm about to graduate college with a Finance degree and im excited, nervous, scared.....my emotions could go on and on. At this point I'm so tired of school that I'm ready to be done, but i know as soon as I'm out I'll wish i was still there. Right now I know the hardest part of being done will be finding a job and I'm dreading that search. But I'm ready to start the next stage in my life.
