Imagine a big long sigh

I am pooped. I had an 8:30 appointment at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO today. I met with an academic advisor from the education department who was above and beyond helpful. It was such a positive experience. So far, I am enrolled in 9 hours this summer, and will probably bump that up to 12. I am enrolled in 17 hours for the fall semester, and may bump it up to 20 just to get done with school sooner. We'll see though... after my appointment at UCM, I had class, and then work. Now I have a ton of homework... YAAAAAAAAAAWN.

It was such an interesting experience driving to Warrensburg and walking on campus. I felt like I was behind enemy lines! lol but if I didn't feel comfortable going to school there, I obviously wouldn't have applied.

Dad hasn't gone into work the past few days... he's made a couple phone calls from home. He has been extremely tired, felt nauseated, extreme irritation, and his feeding tube may have an infection on the inside. Friday (3/26) will be a long day for us- surgery at 7:30 in the morning (have to be there at 6:30), getting fluids (for hydration) through his port around 11, and his radiation appointment at 2 pm. When it comes to cancer, there is no taking a "breather" or a "time-out"... it feels like it's a constant sprint. Not enough breaks. In the big picture, it will be worth it.

I am supposed to go to Kirksville this weekend. If it rains, I doubt I will be able to make it. I have all kinds of obligations this weekend. Scott is supposed to move out this weekend, but it looks like he has to push it back to next week. Have a church retreat Sunday. I am in the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation in Adults... basically- my Catholic conversion) and Easter vigil is going to wrap it up- I will be baptized and confirmed. I could not be more ready or excited for this. I am so happy that I directed my path to the Catholic Church. It is where my heart belongs, and my faith has strengthened immensely.

I am SOOOOOO ready for summer!!!!!! Bring on the sun, lotion, and bathing suits!!!

Until next time...
