Great news

My life has been very exciting lately. Today i got a haircut. Can you say "relief"? I have had it all chopped off. My main motive for doing this was the junior-senior on friday. I want my hair to look fly! I am so excited about it! I am presenting an award, but I'm not revealing anymore details than what has just been said. Other than that, all the hard work from internship searching has paid off and I have landed an internship where I live in Easley! I am going to be working in the human resources department at Palmetto Health Baptist Hospital. I love the staff that works there, and I used to go to school with the head director's son. The hospital is 5 min. from my house, so I could walk there if I had to! The internship is not going to be paid, but that's not going to be an issue since I will barely use up any gas to get there! I think that it's going to be a blast working there. The experience will look wonderful on my resume for future job opportunities. Anyways, I'm just finishing my semester here at Southern Wesleyan U. As of right now, I have a group paper and presentation, along with two tests left to complete. Speaking of stuff for next year, I have Sigma Delta training tomorrow. My class schedule is looking iffy, so I am concerned about whether there will be a section that Beth Roe can place me in (hopefully one of the Tuesday classes). We'll see.

It's that time of the year

So the end of the year is coming. Projects, homework coming out of the wazoo, woo-hoo! Don't ya just love all the excitement and craziness in the air? Well, my life isn't any different than the rest of ya'lls. I am trying to land an internship in human resources, while finishing up my classes, packing stuff to take home, and helping finalize things for the junior-senior banquet. Simple enough, huh? I'm just glad that I do not have as many tests to take as other people, nor do I have as many papers to finish like other people do. That I am thankful for. The one thing that I am dreading is my last econ. test. That class has not been very easy this semester. You want to talk about a challenge? Analyzing relationships between different factors and variables is definitely a challenege! What's funny is that even though everyone in that class considers me to be the smartest person, it definitely is not evident on the test grades that I've been making! I may speak up alot, ask questions, and give the right answers to the teacher's questions, but I am definitely not the best test-taker one the planet! Oh well, I least my writing skills can compensate for my bad test-taking skills. I could write a paper over a taking a test anyday. That's just the way I've always been. Well, I am going to go for a run. See ya'll later!

School is coming to an end

So school is coming to an end. Can you believe it? ONLY 3 WEEKS left!!!!!!!!! This is just insane to me, but then again I am not having a case of senioritis like the seniors are. That will happen to me in a year (Lord-willing). The question I pose is what will everyone else be doing for the summer? How will ya'll use that time to be beneficial? Will you help others out? Start a Bible group? Work to get some extra spending money? As far as I am concerned, I have yet to know about a local internship opportunity. The lady at People's National Bank has yet to call me or Mr. Mahony back. I met with Mr. Mahony yesterday and we called over to the Palmetto Baptist Health Center. Of all people that he decided to call, I would have never guessed that he was going to Mark Eisengrein, the development director. I know him! He's an elder at my church, and is a great man of God! Mr Eisengrein said that he would refer me to the human resources department over at Palmetto Health. We'll see what happens. Talk about a fabulous opportunity that could arise. I live 5 minutes away from the hospital. In fact, I could take a 20 minute bike ride to get there if I had to! Well, me and Mr. Mahony prayed about it after we were done talking. I guess it's all up to God as for what my summer plans will be. He may have intended for the doors to my other internships such as Food Lion to be shut, but maybe He'll have an opening for me somewhere else!

Hey everyone!

Hey ya'll! I hope that everyone has been doing well. It's that time of the year when everyone is busy with their schoolwork, etc. Fortunately, I am not so bad off in that area. Ya'll probably hate me now that I've said that. Oh well....anyways, I am having a movie night tonight with Tietje, Matt, and Cliffton. It should be fun. I never get to see them on Tuesday night because I got the Huddle House with everyone else. I guess they don't connect with everyone that goes to the Huddle House. I do know that Tietje is with his fiance, Matthew is doing homework, and Cliffton is doing who knows what. Anyways, I still want an internship in human resources. I do not want to waste another summer working at an hourly wage job. Internships are going to give me the practical experience that I am going to need when I go out into the work force. The problem is that I can't get the human resource people at any of these businesses to pick up the phone and talk to me. What is the issue with everyone?! I just want to talk to ya'll! So much for having clear communication with possible people that I may work with. Interpersonal Communication class has taught me this. I have to learn how other people communicate. Maybe these people have a very relaxed manner about communicating matters to one another. Maybe they do not and just do not want to talk to me. Whatever the case may be, I just want an answer!!!!!

more random thoughts

Well, I have tried writing down my thoughts on this blog before I go to bed, and it's been working. I get good sleep and I don't stay awake having anxious thoughts. Let me tell you what's on my mind right now. I am continuing working on my gender issues paper about eating disorders. I finally got a professional to answer my interview questions, and that has been a great asset. Praise the Lord! The paper is five pages long: I can write five pages easily. I am a writer-type person. As for human resources, I need to get two professionals to respond to my interview questions. Why can't people be more responsive to these things? It's like I have to hound them to get anything done. Speaking of getting things done, I attempted to set up an advising meeting with Dr. Moore and my mom. Guess what his response was? A regurgitation of what Joe Brockinton told all the Business students: the memo for the advising workshop. Dr. Moore, my mom and I want to talk with you personally. I am not going to get that attention from you at this workshop, and I don't appreciate you being impersonal in your response. On a totally different note, I hope that you are getting better Professor Bedsole. Whatever the illness, I hope that you don't get out of commission for too long. I thought that flu season and the stomach virus were gone by now, but apparently there is something still lurking around at SWU. I better stay clear, because my life is already crazy as it is. Speaking of crazy, my parents had to borrow my car because they were having issues with their cars. Now my car is having issues too! What is my world coming to? Oh well, at least I have the weekend to look forward to with Sigma Delta training. I am excited about that!

Blogging my thoughts before bedtime

The last few nights I've been up at different times of the night with thoughts in my head that keep me from sleeping. Thus, I have lost sleep due to doing this. Well, it just so happens that it is wellness week here at Southern Wesleyan, and I got to meet Tiffany Martin, the speaker in chapel today. She suggested that in order to better aide my situation, I should write my thoughts out before going to bed. Well, here is what's going on in my brain right now. I want to get my papers for Gender Issues and Human Resources done, but none of my people references that I need are available. I can't get anyone to pick up the phone at these places I call to speak with the right people. Is that too much to ask? I think not! It's just frustrating to know that I can be so close to getting these things accomplished, but I can't because I am lacking a few resources. As for my plans for tomorrow, I'm not sure if I'm going to Chris' church for the revival. It will be an interesting experience as I haven't seen a real Pentecostal service. haha. I have an interview with Beth Roe or Samantha Wilson tomorrow (not sure which one it is). I am hoping that goes well and I won't be too nervous. After all, I have been a Sigma Delta before and I do have the experience and edge over the new people that are trying out for it.

P.S.

P.S.-
Just to let everyone in Interpersonal Communications know, I am doing my movie project on the movie, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I have officially declared it.
