Holy Crap!!!

Hey everyone!

I haven't blogged in ages, but I think there are some things that definitely need updating! I pretty much had the most exciting week EVER last week! First of all, I got a job offer from the company that I wanted to work for the most! I'm going to be a Market Analyst for Lodgenet Entertainment, which is a company that works with pay-per-view movies and games in hotel rooms. It's an awesome position with awesome benefits and salary, and it's exactly what I want to do! I'm so excited! This is all going on in Sioux Falls, SD, which is where I'll be moving in about a month!

Technically, though, I'll be living in Tea, SD, which is about 5 miles outside of Sioux Falls. Jeff and I have a townhouse we're moving into, and it's very cute and nice. Tea is only about 2500 people, but it's growing exponentially.

Most recently (and most importantly), Jeff proposed!!!! It was a complete surprise! Jeff was very cunning, and I was duped into thinking I was going to an early birthday celebration, but turns out I got a bigger birthday present than I expected! My ring is incredible-- it's a one-carat single diamond on a custom-made white gold band, with two smaller diamonds set below the big one, one on each side (not left and right sides, more like top and bottom if you look at the diamond straight on...does that make sense?).

I'm so excited!! Everything has been going absolutely perfectly lately, and I couldn't be happier! Plus, tomorrow's my birthday!! :)

The List

Sorry I've been out of the blogging loop lately. I truly hate the last few weeks of the semester. I'm so close to freedom, yet so much stuff to do before I can taste that sweet, sweet batch of cookies I will make once school is over...

I've noticed a list trend in the blogging community. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and write down my list of things I need to do before the end of the semester! And the things I have already done, just so I don't feel as depressed.

DONE

10-hour day at district music in Fairbury
Messiah rehearsals and performance!
grading! FOREVER!! (that last one was a doozy though...up til 1 AM getting the damn thing done)
Marriage and Family final
Honors Convo (the first one I ever went to...and the last)


NOT DONE

Interview for summer job
Go to doctor for various maladies (popping jaw, hurting ear, dentist appointment)
Rewrite crappy Psych group term paper. Our first draft sucked butt
Get food for bridal shower
Finish thesis
One more theory help session
Perception final
Stats final
One more Stats lab


OK. Not quite as bad as I was fearing. The main things I'm worried about are my thesis and my term paper. The only reason I'm worried about my term paper is because I have to have it in by 3:00 today and I haven't really started rewriting it. My thesis, I just have to sit down and do it. It'd be great if I could sleep more than 6 hours at a time sometime in the near future, too.
