So, I'm applying for grad school. The deadline is Sunday, April 20. I need to have my statement of intent, 3 letters of recommendation, take the GRE, a portfolio, and my contact information in by then. So far I have done .. well, my contact info has been turned in, and I handed out the letters of recommendation to people (I have to wait until then send it back in), I am working on my statement and will be working on my portfolio tomorrow. My GRE can be done after, thank goodness, so I will wait until after school. Horray!!
I will be applying for the Masters in Landscape Architecture 3+ program, which means it is 3 years plus 2 summers. The first summer session I will need to take 3 classes (YUCK!) and then 1 class the second session. The good thing is that I have already taken 2 classes, one which I need for the fall and the other for the following spring. So at least those are 2 classes down.
As for right now, I will be graduating with my BA in Design Studies in the Built Environment May 8th. More Horray!!!
So, that is the update as of right now.
Hope you all *crickets much?* enjoy the post!
I was in the parking lot of Basha's a few weeks ago and my dad parked his truck next to this car .. I couldn't help but laugh as it is definitely a WoW reference.
Ok, so I know there is a C+ in there, but the class was a lot more work than I thought. I know I could have done better, but I didn't try as hard as I should have. I'm not taking the second half of it in the Spring, so I think I will be okay :)
Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I have been super busy! School this semester has taken up a lot of time, plus I've been working at the SRC on campus to get some extra money. This winter should be less stressful though cause I'm not taking any classes and only working a little bit. Oh, I got a job working part time at an architect firm in Phoenix, so that is super exciting!! I'm only doing admin stuff right now, but the more I learn in school the more it will help me at work, and vice versa.
Oh, so here is my Spring Schedule. I will keep you updated on my grades for the Fall semester!
So, it's the 4th week of school, and it's almost over. Time has gone by so quickly that I can't believe a month has gone by! Only 3 more to go. Pretty soon mid-terms will be afoot. Projects and papers are going to be due. And then, before I know it, finals.
It will be 1 semester down, and one semester to go. I am so excited that I am going to be graduating in the spring! I just hope that I can create a schedule next semester that will work.
Unfortunately, I will be unable to go to Paris over the winter break, which makes me a bit sad. I really wanted to go. But I don't have the money to be able to pay for it. So, hopefully I will be able to save money from this semester and next and possibly go over the summer. I would love to get an internship somewhere over in Europe for the summer. I will have to start looking now, because I am sure that they go fast.
I have had some really cool things happen so far though. I met some new people at school, got an extra grant (free money!!), and got a new laptop. A MacBook Pro. Which i wasn't really expecting to get, and if I didn't I probaby could have gone to Paris, but decided to, and I am happy about it. I like it a lot. 
I started with a personal trainer at school too, and I feel like it is a good thing because I am so laz when it comes to hitting the gym. I still haven't gone on my own, just when I have an appointment, which is stupid because I work at the gym! But by the end of the day, I just want to go home and relax. I need to get my mind motivated.
Things are so awesome right now.
(: I am so happy :)
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

So we've finished moving .. into my parents house ... until December 19th, which is when our new home is supposed to be finished.
This shall be an interesting 4 months (or so).
So, what have I been doing? Well, I worked at Lowe's for about 2 weeks before I said "Screw this, I'm outta here." Ok, I just quit, but it is what I said in my head. It sucked, working retail sucks, and I will never forget how much I hate it.
Other than that, I took another summer class - Renaissance Europe - but I don't know how well I di, and won't for about a week or so. Then, the Fall semester starts on August 20th.
Oh yeah, and my sister is pregnant.
