Good luck to my fellow sufferers, know that it will be worth it, and that time always flies when you're this busy! Finals week will be here before we know it! Oh joy...
Peace and love!

It started again. Every fall comes the start of school and I seem to--yet again--be underprepared. This summer I took my courses online only and learned that it takes dedication and the ability to keep one's self on task in order to succeed. This fall I am taking all four of my college classes online, and am feeling (more than) slightly overwhelmed. I know that within two weeks I'll feel much more on top of things but the initial "feeling out" of what the expectations are can be a lot. I'm coping with this mainly through procrastinating on getting started, but also by attempting some serious organization. I have each week laid out with what is due daily for each class, when tests are scheduled, and the like. I hope that this will help me stay on task and avoid forgetting anything important!

Hello, hello! As I was buying books for fall semester (over $450 worth!!!) I realized that I really haven't blogged much this summer. I'm sorry! It has been quite the whirlwind summer for me with much of it being unplanned. I started 2014 off by moving in with my friend Mariah, her husband Beau, and their 3 year old son Owen in Glencoe, MN. I then travelled to Washington and Oregon for a week in January before taking off to study in Costa Rica for 10 weeks. I've been planning to move out of state this fall (still don't have anything nailed into place) and decided to travel a bit to figure out where I want to go. Following a little research I decided to check out Wilmington, North Carolina. I believe it was 23 hours of driving each way, traveling through 8 states and covering 2,900 miles round trip. It was an interesting solo road trip that was good for me. In June I met five of my girlfriends in Las Vegas. A serendipitous moment at a bus stop turned the meeting of a stranger into my now boyfriend Patrick...life is so full of mystery. He lives in Kansas so I flew down to see him for the 4th of July weekend. I missed my return flight so we ended up spending six days together--it was wonderful! I was home for several weeks and back to Kansas again the last week of July. We spent the weekend chunk of both trips on the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri having a great time with great people. It's been fun seeing new parts of the country, and a joy spending time with him. I've also been working full time and completed 2 summer classes, and Patrick was here to see me last weekend! It was short but sweet, with time spent at the MN Renaissance Festival, Walker Art Center & Sculpture Gardens, the Mall of America, and random wanderings and good eats. It was a quality weekend. School starts Monday the 25th already and it's going to be a heavy load so I've been trying to get organized. If I vow to stay organized the entire semester do you think it'll happen??? Wish me luck! Peace, love, and wishes for a great semester to all of my fellow students! xoxo Tips/Tricks/Randomness: Airlines (according to my most recent travels):
