I miss you guys

I have been seriously slacking the las few weeks. There has not been a thought in my mind that I have forgotten to blog and to keep my fellow friends update. I do have some really food news. I received two Scholarships that will help me pay for my $29,0000 tuition for new year. I felt and am so thankful for that . All together I receive $7200. Just typing it makes me want to sing praises. I am so thankful for that. I have also reached my loan age rate limit so now it have to really get my credit together now. Because I am calculating another $52,000 to finish the program. I am praying that me goal in becoming a Occupational therapist is in god's will.

I just rescued a cane corso for the shelter and I am planning to make him a therapy dog. His first train to be a good citizen is next week! Yey Jimmy. He is 7 and has the best temperament. My 18 month old lays on him. He is as sweet as what ever your favorite sweet thing is.

My classes this session have been soooo fun. I have been able to look at English in a way they want I would not have thought of before with my Textually class. Poetry and smooth writing in same story. AWESOME! Very nice and entertaining. Then my art class, which I thought would be art has turned into a performance class. Boy do I love drama and skits. It has been so fun. Next week is the last class for art and next  Monday the last class for my English class. I have to admit.... I love this journey that I am o ,and I am thankful that I get to experience this with the ones I live, my family.

Hoping the best for all of you out there.

THE END OF MY BA CLASSES!!!!!!!!





I finished my last session with a B in my Dram class and an A in my Communication class. I felt like I need to pick up my pace a little, so I started a new aromatherapy regimen called Brain Power from the Planet Therapy series. I have dibbed and dabbed in aromatherapy and I really like. I need to stay consistent with it though. I do it for a week and then get bored of doing it and then I am ready for the next adventure, a new change, even though I resent change. LOL. I know that in my new profession I need to become more focused so that my patience will be focused in their therapy and get the results that I would be looking for. 

This session I am taking Time Based are, which was very interesting last. We talked about conceptual art and how it was time based. Then we got our first assignment of making a flip book or an artist book. I think I am going to be making the artist book. I was thinking of using film I have in the kid’s keep sake box to represent how fast time goes by. Not just in the age of technology but also with growing into adulthood, just a thought. I am also taking Intro to Textuality which has no clear definition about what it is. The stories we are reading are interesting. I know I have to get an A in both of these classes because these B's are lowering my GPA and I can’t have that! No! No!

I started my Medical Terminology course that I need for the program. I am a note taker. There are lots of notes that I have for the 11% that I have completed. The goal is to get to 100% by Aug. 10. I do not see that as a problem. I go take my second Hep B shot tomorrow. My last one will be in Oct. I have to mail out this money order for my CRP class that I am dragging my husband in to take with me. I was thinking," Hey, he is a soccer coach and works are people all the time. He needs to know how to preform CRP if necessary." He just gives me the "Yes honey" Look. LOL

Oh and I realized how much school is going to cost for me….. $35k for 1 year. I only have $19k in aid. That includes the $7000 worth of scholarships I have gotten. I was denied a loan thought Sallie May and now do not know what I am going to do. L Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all the updates I have for now. Oh and I have decided to start do yoga, looking forward to getting that on crack n'

I am hoping the best for all of you out there. Make sure to take care of yourself first because there is only one you! ;)

I was all over there place

I have no idea what was up with my last post but I have corrected it. I want to apologize to my readers because that was not like me. I sincerely apologize.

This is my last week of Intro to Drama and Conflict Resolution classes. I must admit that I am enjoying both classes. I though the drama class would not be interesting but is was. I like Oedipus, Twelfth Night, and Lysistrata. AWESOME! The conflict class is allowing me learn now to handle conflict in a healthier way. So that's an A+ in my book.

I went and got my Tetanus shot, my 1st shot for my Heb B. I got those a week ago and I am still swollen. I go back next month to get my second Heb B shot. Then the last shot will be in October. I did my TB skin test.. About to sing up for my CPR class, making my husband take it too because you never know and he is a soccer coach. Sad knew my baby broke her wrist. She will have to be in a splint for 3 weeks. I am still thankful because it could have been worse.  Her big brother was trying to put her on his shoulders and missed. We some good new. I TURNED 30 on Thursday. Welcome new year, new day, new second.

I am pledging for forgiveness on that last post I have no idea what was going on there. NONE. :(

I'm back to myself now. Thanks for still reading and sharing my journey with me. Hoping the best for all of you..

Reiki I Practitioner

I am now official level 1 Reiki practitioner  My teacher Robert Feuston is a "traditional" Reiki methods Master III. He does not recommended reading  from books on Reiki because  90% of them will not be correct. My definition  of Reiki," it is a self healing practice that allows us the heal others as well. I see so many way this can help our patient.

Oh Happy Day!

Good afternoon dear readers,

Today is just beautiful outside. Sunny and a whole 44 degrees. It has been really gloomy and winter like for the last few months. Today it actually feels like spring is in the works. There is nothing like an beautiful day heading into my favorite season. This morning I went to IHop with the husband and the baby which was really yummo.

On another note, this is the last week of session 4. Finished my final for my online Chemistry class and did my final in my Sociology class. I have to be honest with you, this session I really slacked on the class work. I felt really over these two classes. I think I learned a valuable lesson about myself, that we all have limits and we have to find a way to not feel or become overwhelmed when we come to that limit. I think I got a little ahead of myself and allowed myself to sabotage myself on the what ifs? What if I didn't make it to the program? What if it is too much? What if I miss out on my kids life because of school? What if.....? What if I just allow things to be just as they are????? Hhhhhhhhh....... well I am waiting for my grades to come in. Pretty sure that they will not be back until the middle of next week. So I am heading into a long weekend..... I pray that I come out with an A, thankful if I get a B.

Well... I'm going back to the pretty day with the family. By the way, I watched the last Twilight last night, felt really disappointed by all the fake images they used. I think they were trying to make the baby look like both Edward and Bella, but no! I noticed it and let a little jipped. I can't say if I feel like it was a good conclusion because I felt like I am still missing a piece of the story.

I hope all of you are having a great day and hope the best for all of you!

I MADE IT! I AM AN OT STUDENT


I was starting to get a little nervous because I would normally have contact about decisions on the program before the deadline. The deadline was March 1. Something told me to check to mail box.
I saw a large envelope and my heart started beating so fast because the envelope was thin. I was thinking "oh no I'm on the waiting list" The as I started to open the package I could not bare to look. I finally pulled out the paper and say the words said "On behalf of the faculty and staff... I would like to welcome you as a first year occupational therapy professional student." I am OFFICIALLY an occupational therapy student!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!

Hoping the best for all of you.
