Death by Semester/Canvas

I know all honors students are busy, but I just want to share the craziness of my life.
I am taking 19 class hours, developing questions for my thesis, working 40 hours in a classroom, I have 20 hours of service learning, I serve as the Vice President of Alumnae Relations for Sigma Kappa and I am in the process of planning a huge event. I have 25 assignments due from now until April 18th. If that wasn't enough I had the flu three weeks ago and yesterday I was diagnosed with mono and I'm on 'bed rest' per my doctor. So, that is why I am just now posting what I chose as my creative outlet. Canvas painting. Each one took 2 hours to create, however, the large Tom Petty canvas which took three hours. So far I have 15 creative hours done!

Application Reviews

I was so honored to have the opportunity to score 11 MHS applications! I enjoyed reading the essays and reviewing the resumes. I believe the honors college has an amazing group coming through with lots of diversity and incredible background stories. I am so thankful for what MHS has meant to me, and I know these upcoming students are greatly anticipating this incredible opportunity. I spent 2 hours total scoring applications. GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS! 14/30 hours

I am 4

I'm a hot mess. ALWAYS. I strive for perfection and never get it right. Im always late, or forgetting something, or bumping my car on curbs.

One of my friends (lovingly) pointed out to me that when something is slightly hard or even really tough, my world crumbles. It's been my coping mechanism to react strongly my whole life and only got reinforced by the trauma I've endured. I've believed for so long that I have to react big or pain loses meaning. I need to be more kind and gentle with myself so I can grow and learn to handle situations with more control. I can be in control of my feelings. Through this and reading the book The Road Back to You,  I realized I am a four on the Enneagram. I thought I was a two because I have a helpful nature, then a three because I HATE for peo...

Where Have I Been?

This semester has been extremely stressful. My previous thesis chair has prevented me from going through IRB. So I finally got the courage to change chairs and now that process is under way. As for my service hours...I have worked in kids church 6 hours total and on praise band vocals for 6. I'm pictured below dancing in kids church and I thought people would enjoy this less than glamorous shot! Anyway, my church volunteer work comes to a total of 12/30 hours. I hope to catch up on these collo hours as my stress load eases up.
