Ending school and Starting a new one

I just noticed that the last two posts started with Hokay.... so. I will not start this post with hokay..... so. 

I no longer work at the Frozen Yogurt shop and I'm kinda glad because this semester I have had a lot of busy work. The work isn't hard it just takes time to complete it all. I do miss my frozen yogurt everyday for lunch but the good times have to end sometime right? 

I have registered for my Spring semester of my senior year. I will NOT be graduating in the Spring but I will get my diploma in August cause I gotta take summer school. Today in class, one of my new friends this year said that his wife told him that the Science majors will not have to take a foreign language in 2013! I have not taken a foreign language in college. I started German but once we started the alphabet, all I could think of was the French alphabet, so I dropped German, thus making me procrastinate with the foreign language requirement. I have the French Rosetta Stone and I'm going to take the CLEP (*basically a test for any subject that you have studied yourself or learned and want to get credit for) again. The first time I took the CLEP was in the summer and I got a 47. I need a 59 to get credit for all four classes or 2 semesters. If I get a score of 50 I can take the last two classes in the summer. So that's where I'm at with school right now.

Also during the Spring I'm going to be doing an internship at the Floyd County Stormwater department editing parcels using ArcGIS. At least I think I officially have the position. 

I have been pondering this idea for sometime about going to grad school. I have decided to go. I have applied to IU Bloomington, I just have to take the GRE and then they can look at my application. I would be getting a masters in GIS. The thing is, the GRE test isn't until Dec. and the application and all that is due Jan.15. So I'm in a bit of a rush. Also I don't graduate until August 31 and I'm assuming IUB starts classes that week. So I might be attending in the Spring. I was just going to apply to IU but I have been looking at this one college in Ireland for a while and I said to myself, "Why the hell not?!" So I have applied there and all my info is in. Their Geography MS is only one year!!!!!! That's my style!!!! For an international school and for one year it would be around $40,000 to attend but to go to IU for 2 years in- state is almost $60,000. I'm really rooting for UCD!!!!!!! I know I have to get a loan but it'll be worth it.

SUB CHANGE
I bought a pair of TOMS shoes!!! I was going to get B a pair but she probably won't get any use out of them since she grows so fast. On the topic of B... she is freakin HILARIOUS!!!! she says stuff with an attitude and the stuff she says I have no idea where she got it from! At a halloween party I was holding her and dad wanted to leave and mom was waiting in line to go through a haunted house my relatives made. I told her to tell Grandpa (dad) that mom said 2 minutes. We walk over to dad and she said Oma (mom) said 2 minutes. She is so smart. I secretly wish she would be an astronaut. Love her to death! 

Also over a month ago I had bunion surgery and this past Sunday I got on the treadmill for the first time in like OVER OVER a month. Let me just say, the soreness is slowly leaving my body just from a 30 minutes run. I gotta stay in shape cause my BES FRANDS (Elaine Elliott and Ethan Schmidt) are getting married in June and I gotta make sure my dress is gonna fit!

I gotta leave for class in about 30 minutes so until next time.....
