A word from your local Admissions Rep

Just a tip for those who are applying for a job or admission into a school. If you don't get a response from your contact person, wait a day not an hour before you resend it. Especially think of the school or business' office hours before you get anxious. I've had a student who does this and it's a little irritating. If I get an email after 5pm I will not check it. I've made a new rule that if I'm not traveling, I will not check my work email. Recently, my phone kept beeping when I was home, so I finally checked and it was the same email from this kid about 6 times. Not. a. fan. Don't irritate the person that's trying to help you. Regardless of how annoyed I am with a person I will still help them. I'm fair with all students but I don't know how others function so you never know! So that's tip #1. I'm sure I'll have more.

Saturday Fun

So I have decided to start a new tradition for my weekends. I will do absolutely NOTHING. And it will be amazing. Okay I know that's unrealistic and not healthy but I'm tired. I travel all the time and I just want a weekend where I wake up and not do any traveling. Except I miss my family who live in other cities so there will be some weekends that I will travel. Another fix to this solution would be to hire someone to drive me down there. I know I've become lazy.

As far as this weekend I told myself I wasn't going to do anything but I got a call to go to the children's museum with my sister and my niece so I wouldn't pass that offer up. The day consisted of going to the museum, lunch break at my favorite, back to the museum, and girls' night with the niece. It was a good Saturday. I can't pass up moments to hang out with the niece. I'm actually a sucker for all my lil babies (my niece and nephews, I don't have kids of my own). Here are some pictures of the day.

Here she is picking out her groceries in a hurry.

Getting the necessary cheese, milk, and pancake mix.

Checking out of the grocery store.

Not a picture from today. I took this picture because I was trying to make a shirt and I needed a picture of the chapel but I like it.

Work Work Work

Coming back to work was HARD! I had a very relaxing break which didn't require that I travel. Because of my job I am constantly on the road so not having to get back on the road was nice! I do enjoy that most of the areas I travel I get to see my family but this year they came up to see us! I had the week after Christmas off and I did absolutely NOTHING. It was amazing! The highlight of my Christmas break was a lot of hanging out with these little guys and my family! yay fun times!

This was just for you Cait, happy? :)

I failed... sad day

I knew I wasn't going to be able to post pictures everyday. Most days when I come home from work or on vacation I avoid the computer like the plague since I'm on it all the time. Lots of pictures to post on the blog but don't feel like uploading them. Good night for now.

Merry Christmas!

Yay it's Christmas and I'm having a ton of fun with my family! I love them!

Christmas!

I decided to make marshmallows. I'm nuts but I've been craving them and wanted to make some. Hopefully these come out okay. (from the not ready yet batter, they didn't taste too bad but really sweet). Yay Christmas!

3 years old!

My lil guy is 3 years old today! This will probably seem like a lame post because it's about my dog, but I don't have kids and I consider this little guy my kid. I've gone through almost everything with him. We went through the ups and downs of his puppy days and now his larger days. Winston is the first dog that I've actually known his birthday. On the day he was born my sister was getting texts and pictures him and his brothers and sisters. I knew I wanted a dog because I wanted protection so I knew I wanted one of the puppies. Winston was the largest in the litter and was also/ and is VERY cute. I was very excited to bring him home! With the help from my mom, dad, Jorge, and Nellie we were able to potty train him. He's also really good with other tricks. I love my little guy and I'm glad I have him to come home to. Anyway, Happy Birthday Winston. (obviously he can't read but whatever)

This morning has not started off well at all. It has put me in the poopiest mood. Bleah anyway I hope the rest of the day goes well.
