This week has been one crazy ride... between being sick and and not having energy to do anything. I have felt this week much like I felt at the start of the medication process. It has just been odd.
What I am saying with all of this is I need a break... I can't wait until Summer... I am going to do my internship but it will be nice to just work and not work and do school... yep I need a break.

Long days.... Some planning starting to work out.
I am still doing alright with the new work/school schedule. It has been hard on some days but for the most part it rocks. I sleep like a normal person at least 3 days a week, (up from the maybe sometimes 1 day last semester). As it turns out Wednesdays are not my long days. Tuesday and Thursday are. Wednesday is once again my favorite day. At the end of it I am tired but fell amazing. I LOVE being apart of the Bells on Temple Square.
I talked to the HR rep at my work today and was able to confirm that I will be able to do an internship this summer. If I am not able to go to Spain at least I will be able to get things done for my degree. Right now there is a graduation requirement to have an internship, talking to my councilor in the next few years they are going to want graduates to have at least two internships and I am on my way to have two.
One thing that I do want to do while I am in school is the internship with the Government at one of their embassies doing the same kind of things that I will do when I work full time for the embassy. So I might do that next year (or at least try to) and kill to birds with one stone, i.e. go to Spain and work for the US embassy there, who knows but I think I'll try it.

New Semester... New Work Schedule...
This week started a new school semester here at USU. This also means that we started a new work schedule a my job. I decided that I wanted to go to 3-10s instead of 5-6s. That means that on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I go into work at 1:00 am and stay until 11:00 am. At my job we are not required to take a lunch break, we can eat at our desk and continue to work if we would like, so I can get the 10 hours in without having to take a break for lunch.
I have yet to decide if this is a good thing or not. I loved not having to work on Tuesday, being able to sleep in until I needed to go to class/being lazy until I needed to go to class. Monday at work wasn't "hard" being at work is for the most part fun for me. Friday was hard because I did not sleep on Thursday.
For the most part I am excited for this next semester of school... After this I will only be taking classes that pertain to my degree. WOOT!

Planning.... to much planning
This week I have started my house hunt for the next year... I really hate planning so far in advance but it become necessary when all the good places get taken in the first two months of the year. I guess I say I hate planning so far in advance but I guess that is because when I do it always seems to bite me in the butt. This is because I try and make plans of what I want to do and it always seems to fall through.
During last summer I decided that I was going to go study abroad, I wanted to go to Spain, study Spanish and live in Spain for three months. That plan started to crumble with the start of my medical problems. Then it was crushed when I found out that I could not take Spanish this spring semester. This means that I would not be able to take the classes that I would need to take. So in the end the Study Abroad thing gets scraped.
Tomorrow I am giving a talk in church, I started to plan it last Sunday when I was told about it. I found talks that related to the "Spiritual Goals"subject that I have been given. Everything was good until today when I started to pull it all together. It doesn't make sense, it does not seem to flow. So I start again from strach to try and see if I can come up with something better.
