Pants
After Steven had his turn modeling, it was my turn! We only were supposed to have 2 weeks on these, but my teacher was gone for a week so she gave us more time (3 weeks I think).
These pants are made from a striped wool blend. The color was hard to match--thread, zipper, lining, etc.
Normally, only the waistband and pockets would have been lined, but my fabric was thin. I lined all of the pants. Crazy!

WOW
I officially had the weirdest thing happen last night. I don't know what it was, but I must be super stressed out. I fell asleep doing something on the computer, so I had both pillows propping my back. After a while I ended up just laying down. (We no longer have wifi so we have to be hooked to it --that's why I was on the bed). Steven tried to take his pillow back once he came to bed two hours later. I started yelling (and some hitting?!) at him saying, "You can't take it; the zipper is wrong!" (There are NO zippers on our pillows...) This was followed by a rational alert husband talking through this with his sleeping (I still kind of knew what I was doing) irrational wife. I started laughing half awake realizing what was happened and half asleep then started crying..... I need a break.

Register
I just finished registering for classes next semester. I was a little bummed about my religion class because I wanted a later time, but I really wanted the course. It adds more space in between my classes which is a HUGE bummer--I am the get in and get out kind of type. =P
Haha I tried getting my schedule using the Snipping tool (I don't know what it is or how to get it--Steven figured that out) but it isn't big enough to do any good.
Course Credits
FDSCI 3
Child Lab 5
FDREL 2
Parenting 3
Internship @ TBA 1-6
Beginning Social Dance 1
I'm so excited for this dance class. Steven signed up with me (which is especially nice because it is a class geared toward dancing in pairs). We will be learning waltz, foxtrot, cha cha, swing (various styles) and polka. Doesn't that just sound exciting?! I've always been jealous of those who can dance. I seem to have no talent always dreaming of being able to glide like so many I've seen on so many occasions. :) It will be a GREAT semester. Of course, there is that slight chance that Steven might actually get that internship in a completely different city than where I will be residing. Is it bad if all of me hopes that he doesn't get it for selfish reasons? The closest place he could be is like 1.5 hours away and possibly over 8 hours away... The unselfish wife in me hopes he gets what he wants. :)
I just figured that my internship can range anywhere from 1-6 credits. I don't know what the difference is, but I do know that it requires 10/week for 7 weeks. Does this mean if it were 6 credits it would have to be more hours than that?! Crazy....
Can I just say how grateful I am that I am NOT in Advanced Sewing and Child Lab at the same time. I think I would have died. Now, I still may do so with my internship and child lab, but I feel a bit more comfortable about it. :)

AAFCS
It seems as a journey through life requires one to become accustomed to learning acronym. ER, TV, AC, AKA, BLT, ET, GM, OJ, MST, PMS, and we even teach things like ROYGBIV to children. They surround us in life.
P.S. I tried making this short/pleasurable. Sorry, this is kind of like my journal. :)
What is AAFCS? The American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. Why is that the topic of today's post? Because it has been on my mind! You see, last semester I took a class called something like Connect Education and Employment. This class talked about organizations like extensions
and Professional Development. AAFCS was one that my teacher seemed VERY adamant about. Last year, she even talked about a conference June 2011. This organization made all the difference for her and she told stories about others who have benefited from such an organization. Plus, this is the same teacher who took us on a field trip to Boise, which I found very pleasurable and beneficial to my education.
Well, February came around. I received an email from this teacher about the opportunity to attend this conference with a group from school. I wanted to go, but once I saw it was almost a month's worth of rent + another payment for traveling expenses I got a little scared off. That is, until during meal management Heidi was talking to this teacher.
I'll cut to the chase, there was a "scholarship" to attend this conference. I sent it off the very next day and currently I sit and wait until April to see if I am getting it or not. I am already tied into going, so I paid the money either way. Is that considered gambling? =P
I am super excited even if I have to pay quite a bit of money. I find it will be worth it (and so much fun!).
This is where we will be staying (Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort and Spa):
And we even talked about doing some of these things:
Ok, so I am not that flexible but they have yoga and other exercises in the mornings.
Let's face it, if I'm going to be spending so much money to get there and such, I might as well experience it all the right way, right? lol
And they even have the most delectable food.
Hopefully not alcoholic...
Underneath this one it says "Locally Grown & Pressed Olive Oil"
This isn't even talking about how enlightening all the classes will be. I'm so excited!!! It's from June 23-25. Possibly with an excursion to some nearby sites on the 22nd.

Great Poem
I am not one to wish the time away completely. I may say it sometimes, but I really do enjoy my life. I read this poem during my Home and Family Management class.
It was spring,
But it was summer I wanted,
The warm days,
And the great outdoors,
It was summer,
But it was fall I wanted,
The colorful leaves,
And the cool, dry air.
It was fall,
But it was winter, I wanted,
The beautiful snow,
And the joy of the holiday seasons.
It was winter,
But it was spring I wanted,
The warmth,
And the blossoming of nature.
I was a child,
But it was adulthood I wanted,
The freedom,
And the respect.
I was 20,
But it was 30 I wanted,
To be mature,
And sophisticated.
I was middle-aged,
But it was 20 I wanted,
The youth,
And the free spirit.
I was retired,
But it was the middle age I wanted,
The presence of mind,
Without limitations.
My life was over,
But I never got what I wanted.
I will leave you to think about that. :) Feel free to share through comments!

Guess What?!
I have a minute to breath, so GUESS WHAT?!
Coolest part about thispicture is that my lines match with the yoke after the pleats, too!
- I got accepted into Child Lab for Spring Semester
- I have time this weekend to go hunting for an internship
- I have time tonight to clean.
- Midterms are over--some papers and such were due later than actual midterms so I had extended stress-- and there's only 5 weeks left of school
- I got my shirt back on Saturday and actually have time to blog about it!
I didn't get a picture of the coolest part of my placket. It matches up both horizontally (supposed to) AND vertically (My teacher says out of all the shirts she has made, it's only happened once or twice).
Coolest part about thispicture is that my lines match with the yoke after the pleats, too!
Call it luck or hard work--really a little bit of both I'm sure--but there's the product of almost 1/2 a semester. I can't even count the hours spent on this shirt.
Think my major is all about fun? It might be, but it is hard work!
