Tropic Thunder

So tonight I went and saw the movie Tropic Thunder with my friend Kelly from work. I have to say it was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a very long time. The movie was definitely one of those stupid movies that has so much humor in it you can't not like it. I laughed for almost the whole movie, along with the rest of the theatre. Kelly and I had a blast. I would recommend this movie to any of my friends. Mom and Dad, you probably wouldn't get the humor, but overall it was GREAT!!!! I have had a great Labor Day weekend so far, and can't wait for the rest of it.

Beginning of Rec Softball

My boyfriend Scott is really into the Recreational Sports Leagues, and as a dutiful girlfriend I am supportive (aka.. Going to every game). This Fall Scott, his brother, and some of our other guy friends are playing in a Softball League together. So last night, my roommate Megan and I bundled up and headed down to the softball fields to watch our men battle it out on the fields. The team, although in much need of some practice, made a valiant effort against their opponents. We didn't win, but I think that with time and more games, our team will do better. Know the Girls are behind you all the way boys, and we love you no matter how many games you win or lose. You will always be winners to us.

My first Day!

Going onto a campus full of young, bright eyed, and eager undergraduates can be an experience all its own. As I have adjusted to adult life after undergrad, I have gotten out of the dramatic lives of the young, and established myself as an individual. It was a bit strange to go back onto a campus and experience the drama around me. It makes me laugh. Boy am I glad that I am past that stage in my life.

I was nervous that I would not meet anyone when I went to school and that I would just be sitting in awckard silence waiting for the proffessor to arrive. As a psychologist, and a friendly person as well, I should have known better. When all the happy, friendly, and outgoing people who tend to gravitate toward the field of counseling get together, you never have to worry about not finding others to be friends with. When I walked in the room I felt comfortable right away and felt as if I fit right in and had been there for months. I am thankful to be in a program that is so accepting and wants you to succeed. My classes went well, and I met some very nice people. Although its going to take much studying and hard work, I am looking forward to this new life experience.

Grad School

This last week I started Grad school at Kent State University. I have to be honest, I was a little bit nervous going back to school and not knowing what to expect. There is all this hype around Grad school and I have never really thought of myself as the smartest tool in the shed. Even in undergrad, I was never one of those kids who everything came easy to. I had to work hard and study all the time, and even then sometimes only get C's. However, I have decided to be positive; focus hard; and put all efforts into achieving. It may be a difficult endeavor, but one that will eventually pay off in the end. I am thankful to have a great opportunity like this. I also have wonderful people in my life who are supporting me in this. My family is one, but most importantly is my wonderful boyfriend Scott. He is an amazing guy, and supports me in whatever I want to do. He is a continual encouragement and I know he will be here with me every step of the way. Much thanks to all who are supporting me.
