hello world!

wow,

Hi all,
It has been a long time since  i have been online. I should catch you all up on some things. I am in my Junior year of college pursuing a psychology degree. the course load has been daunting at times and sometimes i just want to pull out my hair. Anyways, My boyfriend and i have celebrated our 4 years of dating and my it has been a whirlwind. Sometimes it is hard for me to remember that i have been dating this long. anyways, i wouldn't change anything for it. Currently, i just applied to nursing school and went through my interview... that was interesting. i was asked questions like, "Why do you want to be a nurse?" "Name an experience where you used teamwork to get a task done." "What is a weak quality you have, and how have you been improving on that quality?" well you get the picture, they are very interested in who I am as a person. I really just tried to answer truthfully and relate to my work, life, and school areas. I am hoping I did well, fingers crossed (i hear back in march!!) 

Let's see, hm well i have had several friends get engaged. One is getting married this June and the other is getting married in July. I guess i must go to a private christian school. you know the stereotype "Ring-by-spring." so common at my school to hear couples getting engaged. I think both couples will be fine, even though they are rather young. they both are quite mature and compose themselves and have their priorities set. i would say though that getting married while in college can't be easy. I for one wouldn't be able to handle it well. I guess the best i can do is be there for them and support them. i am excited for both couples though. one of the couples is a really good friend of mine and Nick. We have know this friend since sophomore year of high school and are rather close. we started a bible study together and have kept in touch. i actually write his fiance and have enjoyed getting to know her, so i am soooo excited for their big day (plus, i get to see nick in a suit since he is a groomsmen ;)). the other couple is very sweet and fund to talk to as well. we met in college. it has been weird seeing college friends getting married, but it is inevitable. 

currently, i am researching with one of my psychology professors. we are looking at babies and seeing how they react to certain stimuli. given two pictures, one of nature and one of man-made creation and distorting either images, we have the child look at the pictures. judging at how long he looks at one determines which one he found most interesting. overall, i think it is interesting, though sometimes a bit disorganized. the babies are always adorable and fun to work with, so i think this is a win-win for me. 

last, I find that it would be important for me to say i am living with 5 girls and it has been a blast. though we have had many ups and downs this year i wouldn't change anything. 

anyways, tis very late ya'll but i hope to have another post up. until next time.

blessings,

Anna
