A Week in the Life of Me.

This week has been the slowest week EVER. We had a test at the beginning of the week, and all at once millions of things got piled on us, and everything was due today. Thankfully, and surprisingly I finished every single last bit of it! I did get nominated for the Outstanding First Year Award, which I am so happy about! I may or may not receive the actual award, but I am proud of myself for being part of the four that were nominated! I have been busy planning my pinning ceremony and we have the centerpieces in the process of making, and I think it will be very pretty! Another dental hygiene girl and I are making 100 cupcakes for the event, and we are hoping to make them very yummy, and gourmet. She is going to be making double chocolate cupcakes with snickers crumbles on top, and red velvet cupcakes with chopped nuts! I am going to be making white cupcakes with a fluffy butter cream frosting and hot pink sugar crystals. I made those for my friend's birthday a couple weeks back and they were absolutely delicious. They were very light, and melted in your mouth. I am also going to be making a strawberry cupcake with home made strawberry icing, with pureed strawberries in the icing. I can't wait to try one! I hope everyone likes them as much as I think I will. This weekend is the Azalea Festival, so Saturday I am going to go to my nephew's baseball game, and then we are all going to go to the festival. It is so fun! It has a craft fair that is very nice to look at, as well as great carnival food. Sunday, I work again, and am ready because I need to rack up on money, since this Summer I am not able to receive financial aid. I really think it is dumb that you have to have a limit on your loans. It is not like I have free money coming my way, just loans to get through school. It is not an option for me not to go to school in the summer because if I don't take the summer classes, then I drop out of the dental hygiene program which is not an option for me. I've put too much time into this already to give up because of financial problems. My mom is not very happy with MSSU right now. It is hard to get a hold of anyone, and sometimes they don't even get back with you. I feel like this school is very hard to receive financial aid for, compared to SEMO. It is really frustrating because how do they expect students to get through school. Thank goodness I have a small nest egg and great family to help me through the summer. Once Again, I've been counting down the days until my vacation. 29 days and counting... Stay Tuned:)

  1. Congratulations on the nomination! I hope you get it. It sounds like you've been working very hard so keep up the good work. I know it's hard to keep it up through the summer, especially when it comes to the finances, but it sounds like you know what you have to do. Stay focused because you're right, you have put too much in to back out now. Best of luck!
