Summer is Here! UGH!

Well summer has officially arrived here in Virginia. I thought last year was bad well that was nothing compared to what the weather has been like so far this year. Yesterday it was 101 with like 100% humidity. Luckily I had to work in an airconditioned hospital. Oh darn.

I am in the midst of my second semester of summer classes. I finished my retake of my spanish 2 class that I failed in the spring. I got an A- the second time around! What a difference a good teacher makes. Right now i am taking my last 2 spanish classes. Yes at the same time. It is very intense but it will be over in 3 weeks and then I never have to take another spanish or foreign language class ever again!

I drove up last Thursday for Greg and Le Annas (sorry if I butchered the spelling) wedding. It was a nice drive even though I was by myself and had to do it all by myself. Also I had a momentary panic that I had left my credit card at one of the gas stations but I found it once I got to RI. It took me about 10 hours to get up to RI. I listened to The Divinci Code on CD. That really helped pass the time. It is a great book. It was really great to see everyone. I wish everyone could have been there. But some people had more important things to do you know like go on cruises or work. Lame excuses if you ask me. Well any way. The wedding was beautiful. I don't think I have anything else to say it was just very beautiful. I am glad that LeAnna is now a part of the crazy Kohl family. I wish them good luck (she will need it living with Greg) and much happiness.

I wish I had pictures but I don't so I guess I can't post any. I am having so much fun with Meredith and Xavier. I get to be the cool aunt that spoils them rotten and then lets the parents deal with the consequences. He he he! Aren't I evil? They are seriously so cute and a lot of fun. Meredith is a handful like Elizabeth said in her blog. You have to watch her like a hawk otherwise she gets into trouble. But she is so cute so you have a hard time being mad at her for very long. And Xavier I could hold all day if I get the chance.

Well recently I was praying that I could somehow get more hours at work because my finances are kind of tight right now and well last week I guess my prayers were answered although I didn't really want them to be answered this way. A coworker of mine got fired and I was asked to fill in for her until they hired someone else. I guess God works in mysterious ways. So I went from working about 16 hours a week to about 40 or so a week. And I'm in school for 5 hours a day too so my life is pretty crazy right now. I may need a vacation after this is all over.

I am starting to work on my applications to optometry school and studying for the OAT. Pray that it all goes well for me. I am hoping to get into the one in Boston. But I am applying to 6 different schools and would be thrilled to get into any of them. I won't know for a while if I get in to any of them. I will post again once they are all in so we can start the acceptance watch. Well class is about to start I better get going. Hope everyone is well. Miss you all.
