Adios to School

Not soon enough! SO here's my life plan: (until it changes, which will probably be tomorrow!)

This summer:

Maymester: Marketing Foundations (11 days of 4 hours a days and I came out with a C, not great but i passed!)

Summer I: E-commerce
Summer II: Astronomy w/ lab
Logistics through the Business school at UNT (HARDER than anyone I've ever taken)

Summer 10 week: Internship (6 credit hours which requires me to work a minimum of 30 hours a week)

Fall: Principles of Accounting
>insert science class here< I'm thinking of taking Geology because I'm trying to avoid chemistry and physics and biology and there aren't a whole lot of other science classes that have a lab with them.
Political Science
** maybe a Marketing class if I can just get into one of them (i have 2 left which can both be taken online so i'm hoping that one of them will open for the fall!!!)

Spring: Apparel Evaluation (with a lab) boo for waiting till my last semester sr year to take beginning level courses
Survey of Historic and Contemporary Styles
Merchandising Problems (with a lab)
and 1 marketing class hopefully if i was able to get in one in the fall, if i wasn't able to get into a marketing class in the fall that i needed then I have to take both marketing classes in the spring

Summer:
HONG KONG & CHINA TRIP
Global Textile and Apparel Industries
Consumers In a Global Market

AUGUST 2010: I GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS!!!!!!!!

SEPTEMBER 2010: I'm hoping and working towards being able to move to Paris, France and be an Au Pair for a year or 2 and travel Europe and learn to speak French.

**Cheers to having a plan, living day to day, and having faith that I will graduate someday! :-)

Saturday, July 4

Peace love and chicken grease!

So since I have left my "retail" job life I rarely go to the mall....EVER! It actually annoys me to have to go find parking, walk a mile and hope that what I want I can find. Maybe particularly because the mall i go to is gigando! Anyways, I'm desperate need of a new swimsuit as none of my properly fit anymore...growing size and cheap swimsuits will do that to you. 
Anyways, I went to the mall today and was only there a mere 30 minutes and the things I saw there inspired me to write a post. 
I'm serious people.....I wonder if half America is lacking a mirror? And if they aren't, do they have a mirror like in Snow White thats says they look good?!?! 
So in the time it took me to go to the mall and tack on the grocery store today, I was exhausted and needed to go home and have some quality time by myself. I wish I could accurately describe the herendous outfit choices some people decided to make. I don't even want to start because only picture or being there yourself could accuratley do it justice. haha. 

Ok, i'm offically off my "mean" kick! I'm just saying, that being out in public can make your day more entertaining and exhausting all at the same time!!

So for a few random things:
1. After a few calculations I realized that when this summer is over and done with I will have taken 18 hours!!! I have never taken more than 12 hours in a single semester muchless 18 in a super speedy summer semester! Thanks to my Maymester and a few 5 weeks courses I am on the faster track to finally graduating...which, thanks to some more calculations, my exact graduation date is August of 2010. Unless God does some major upside inside-out kind of thing with my life, which i wouldn't put it past him, I will graduate after next summer! :-D <-- The biggest smile ever!!!!

2. I am almost half way through my internship and this makes me so happy! :-) I like my internship, I just don't like working on July 4th and Saturdays and 8 hours without a lunch break and most of all...FOR FREE!!! hehe. 

3. My Grandma who has been in and out of the hospital recently just got moved out of ICU today and so that is happy news! I hate being so far from my family during these times but I know that the family that is down there is taking such good care of her and my Grandpa!!! i love them more than anything !!!!!

4. I want to be an Au Pair in France next year! I decided that! And I hope it works out! I am so in-love with the French people, the French culture, the food, the language, the life...everything! I cannot wait to go back and if i have to wait until next year when hopefully I can move there than I am willing to wait that long! I am hoping to find a wonderful family in Paris needing an Au Pair for Aug/Sep 2010!!! I have actually started teaching myself French via iTunes. Who knew you could learn a language for free on iTunes?! You can!

5. Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!!!! Happy Bithday America!!! I am so proud to be an American (even though i Love France!!!!) and I'm even prouder to be a Texan...haha!!!!!

Peace, Love, and chicken grease, y'all!!!!!!!
