Spring Break Wrapping Up

It has been WAY to long since my last blog, wow! I planned on blogging right before spring break started, but I got a little busy with school and packing for my big trip. Lets just say that this spring break was one of the best I have had..EVER. Justin and I started the trip by driving to New Orleans on Friday morning. We got in to NOLA around 7 and went straight to our friend's house. He took us to an amazing restaurant in the French Quarter and then we hit the town. It was soooo much fun! It was so much fun because one of my best friend's was also in town, and I haven't seen him in soooo long. He met up with us that night. It was a really great night!

The next day, we boarded the Carnival Triumph and sailed off at 4pm. The weather the first night and Sunday afternoon was pretty rough. The captain of the ship said it was one of the worst he had experienced! Lucky us, huh? It was really windy, cold, and the boat was rocking pretty bad. Several people on the boat were sea sick, including my boyfriend... :( Luckily, the next day was BEAUTIFUL! We got into Progresso and got off the boat in the morning. We walked along the beach, had lunch, and got some sun. The next day we visited Cozumel, which was so much fun as well.


The trip was so much fun because the majority of the people on the boat were from ARKANSAS. I believe we called the hogs at least one time a day! Ha, it was great! I really enjoyed it because I really felt like I was at home and everyone was so friendly. I am sad the trip is over, especially since I am back to reality and have done 5 loads of laundry already! Ugh! I am going to catch up on some Grad Assistant work tonight and tomorrow. Depending on the weather, I will hopefully be cheering on the diamond hogs tomorrow! I love this time of year, and I can't believe I only have 5 weeks of school left....!!!


I will have pictures up from the trip, SOON!! :)

Spring Time is my Favorite Time!

The weather this weekend was AMAZING and it is starting to feel a little bit like Spring time! I am so excited about this. This excites me for a number of reasons...

1. Spring Break is in 10 days! Mexico, here I come!
2. I can start doing yard work...Yes, I know this may come as a shock as something to be excited about, but I am ready to do some tree trimming, lawn mowing, and planting some flowers!
3. I can run outside and take my dog to the park!
4. Baseball Season...enough said.
5. The beautiful weather puts me in such a better mood when I am stressed about school and finding a job.
6. St. Patricks Day-Als0 my brothers birthday and a good excuse to get together with my family :)


There are so many more, but those are the things I keep thinking about when I wake up and see that the high today is 71...These are the things I try to think about instead of the midterm that is due today, 2 papers due Thursday, and HOURS of Grad Assistant work to catch up on...Sounds like a fun week, huh? Hopefully I can get most of it done today, and enjoy this beautiful weather!

Midterms!

It has almost been 2 weeks since my last blog, and that is terrible! Sorry! I have been a crazy person these last few weeks, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better with all that is going on! I just keep telling myself, that there is only 18 days till spring break...ahhhh.. Anyway, I have 2 midterms this week-One in Category Management and another in Strategy. I am looking forward to getting them over with because after that, there are only a few assignments between me and spring break.

This past weekend, I was able to get away for the weekend to visit my sister, brother in law, and their kids. I haven't seen them for over a month, so it was really nice to see them finally! Here are some pics of my niece and nephew(twins). They are at such a fun age right now!

Matthew & Madison

I have constantly been looking for jobs and applying when I find ones that I am interested in, but unfortunately have not had any luck yet. I believe only 3 or 4 students from our entire class have jobs lined up after graduation. Hopefully that number will go up in the next few months... Speaking of graduation, I finally completed the application process the other day after class. I can't believe that I will be an MBA graduate in about 2 months. CRAZY!
