Snowed In..

Y'all things got real in Georgia last night. I was one of the unlucky few that had to work (my entire shift) yesterday, and they wanted me to stay overnight to work todays shift because of all the call outs! There were more car accidents, abandoned cars, and people trapped in cars for hours than I have ever seen in my life! All because Georgia is so unprepared for this kind of weather! The sad thing is this happens almost every year and they promise every year that it happens that they will be more prepared the next time it happens & they aren't! So completely unprepared, while there are hungry children stuck on buses and things! I am venting because it would be different if it was unpreventable, but people up North deal with what we received and worse on a daily basis. It is preventable and it should be prevented! Fortunately, I was one of the lucky few that does not have to take the highway to get home from work, so I did get home safely. But, I prayed the whole way! That drive home was one of the slowest, scariest rides I have ever taken! 

                                                 Vent over. 

In other news, my son completely enjoyed his first snow! I am so sad that I didn't get to play in it with him yesterday, but best believe we will get some time in today! Pictures to come soon, but here are some of him from yesterday. 

 The top two are of Isaiah and his Uncle Jerry! <3 

Oh, I love this little boy! Cannot wait to play with him out there soon! 

Ok, and I'm three day behind on my blog challenge. Ooops! I am going to do the past two days now (they will be short and sweet). Then later today I will do todays, deal! 

Blog Challenge Day 6: Hardest thing I have ever experienced

Mhmm.. this is a hard one. I would have to say my dog, Lala, dying. It was a real hard time for me, and she was my best friend. I just didn't understand why she had passed when she did, and I was so upset that I wasn't there for her. 

Blog Challenge Day 7: Dream job & Why 

Ok, I am still undecided about this! If I could be an elementary school teacher and get paid how I want to get paid; that might be it! I love children and that would make me so happy. But now being a nurse assistant, I would also love to do something where I could help a lot of people. And lastly, a job that would allow me to travel (all expenses paid!) and experience the world. So, just combine all three of those and there's my dream job! Hahaa.  

Ok, thanks for reading! I'll be back later today. 

One Semester Closer to Graduation !

Tonight, I have a case of insomnia.. probably because of the way to long, but much needed nap I took with my son earlier, but this insomnia makes for a perfect time to update my blog and write a new post! The past two weeks for me were filled with studying and taking final exams, exhausting! Since I didn't do as well as I hoped during the semester, the grade I made on my finals (for most, but not all of my classes) could either make or break me.

Even though some of my professors were trying to send me to an early grave by waiting until the very last minute to post my grades, I am glad to say all my studying (and praying!) paid off because I passed all of my classes. And I made a 97 on one of my finals! I knew I had done well, but no idea I did that well! However, I did not make all A's and B's like I hoped, I got a couple of C's... I was really disappointed in that because in high school I never got C's but it's become the norm in my college career -__- I feel like going into college, I wasn't focused on school like I should have been. I don't know if it was because of my semi-sheltered life, but I just wanted to have fun and explore... Sometimes I wish I would have started at a community college to catch my bearings and realize the seriousness of it all, but everything happens for a reason and I have no regrets. But I really thought I could skip class, party all night, and barely study and still make passing grades, like high school.. I just find the ridiculousness of that sooo funny now. Young and dumb.

Anyway, despite all of that I have only two semesters left of my undergrad year! I will be taking on a heavy load (again) next semester.. another 17 credit hours, but for my final semester I only need 10 more credit hours! And my goal for the remainder of my undergrad career is to at least get all A's and B's next semester, and then for my final semester straight A's.. I know I can do it!

My son spent the weekend with his father, so I took a night to celebrate (solo dolo) with some wine... (:

Other great news, I recently got a job! I have not started yet, I have orientation this week. I am so excited to start working and earning money of my own again! And once I start working and get the swing of things I'll write more about my new job. I'm about to be really busy, but I'm prepared and know that I can do this! God would not throw anything at me that I could not handle! I hope to do some Christmas crafts with my son soon, so expect a post on all that in the near future!
