Well, I'm officially in the home stretch. "Drop day" was last Thursday. This was the last chance to drop a class without it showing up bad on my transcript. Of course, if I had dropped any classes, I would have had to attend one of the summer sessions, or take another semester. Since I didn't drop any, I will be done in under a month. I told myself I just wanna pass all of these classes and get out. But, truthfully, I want to more than "just pass". If I can make 4 "A"s and only 1 "B", I can keep my GPA high enough to stay part of Phi Theta Kappa. So that's what I'm concentrating on.
I found out I have to drive my car back to NC in July, if I'm still living in Texas. My inspection is due in July, and so I have to get that taken care of. It will work out ok, because then I'll have a car while I'm out there for a couple weeks. Then, I'll be heading to Wyoming with my brother-in-law and a couple others to see George Strait in concert. I'm also planning on taking a little mini-vacation for a few days while I'm in NC. I think I'm heading to the mountains because the beach will just be too busy. Plus, it's not the same with what they've done to Myrtle.

A little of everything...
Well, spring break ended a couple weeks ago now, so it's back to my regular routine...up at 5, work out for about an hour, come home and get cleaned up, go to school, go to work, come home and work on homework. The first day back to class from spring break, I had a test in Accounting. I needed a 95 or better to bring my grade back up to an "A". I got a 94.6, so I'm hoping he will round up. Of course, there are 2 more tests to be taken, so I can always bring it up further.
I was over at Casey and Erin's on Sunday, and I was on the floor playing with Ainsley. I took a minute to look at something on TV, and I felt Ainsley start climbing on me and standing up while she was holding on to me. It took me a second to realize, but I noticed she wasn't holding on to me anymore, and I didn't hear her regular "thump" when she lands on her tush. So, I turn and look at her, and she's standing up by herself balancing! I started talking to her telling her she was such a big girl standing up by herself, and Casey said that she had started doing that. I asked him for how long, and he said just for a few seconds. Well, she ended up standing there for about 20-25 seconds!
It's so amazing to watch her develop. The background on my Blackberry is the first picture of me holding her, and I remember she was so small and helpless. Now she is getting bigger by the day, and also becoming more fearless. Makes me wish the family was closer so that I could see C.J. growing, and Rylee and Brayden when they get here. I have submitted my resume to a few places back in NC for jobs when I get done with school. Maybe one of them will work out so I can head back that way.
I've started planning for graduation, so I will be picking up my cap & gown next week. Mom is going to fly out for it and spend a few days, and Dad is checking to see if he can get off work. I originally didn't care to do it, but mom said she would like to see it. So, on May 14, I will be officially graduating with my 2-year degree in Accounting. I can't wait! I'm ready to get back to the real world...get another house, maybe a new car or motorcycle, or maybe a couple horses if I can find a place with some land. We'll see what comes around!
