well. all my shitty school stuff is pretty much over. thank goodness. because i haven't slept and i've been super cranky and freaked out about this crap all week. i think i managed to do alright too. which is really exciting for me. especially since i'm really not used to doing things this way. i only studied for my midterm on monday for like 5 or 6 hours total, most of those hours just a few hours before the exam itself. definitely not what i usually do, and i think i pretty much aced the exam. sweet. big paper due today, started it on sunday. and by started, i mean googled the subject and started reading some articles. monday, continued to read articles. tuesday night about 10pm, continued to read articles, actually started writing paper. wednesday morning 3:15am, finished paper. 8:30am wednesday, turned in paper. it was a pretty shitty paper, not gonna lie. but honestly, i don't really care. i think it was enough to get me at least a 3.0, and i have one more thing that can bring my grade up too. so hey, fine with me. all in all, successsssssssss!

i've definitely realized i've probably wasted a lot of time overdoing things over the years in school. i don't regret it at all, because i have really learned a lot, grown myself, and done well for myself also. however, at this point, i'm glad to know that i can back off of myself a little bit and still accomplish the same standards. and also, i've realized that this semester really doesn't matter a whole lot in the scheme of things. i'll still do great overall, and my gpa can't possibly drop that much because i have too many credits. and it's not like Centex is going to request a transcript and take back their offer.

yeah, wOOt for me, i got a job!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!! i'm gonna be a field manager with Centex Homes Illinois Division. i'm not exactly sure where i'll be yet, but it will be Chicago suburbs for sure. so excited to be in that area, i love chicago. and so excited to be working for Centex!!! it is such an awesome company and is everything i've wanted since the very beginning of my job search. i wanted Centex so bad, and i got it. and they want me too!!! apparently it was a unanimous decision that they had to have me :) i'm very excited now that i have such a big weight off my shoulders. can't wait to just get done with school and start my awesome career!!! it's going to be great :)

do this thing, i'll really really like you a lot if you do :) http://kevan.org/johari?name=KPoo

also, great weekend last weekend. i absolutely adore Bart's family, and it was wonderful to get to spend some more time with them. and him of course. and mike too. i'm gonna miss those boys so much!!! i'm planning on going out to see Bart's mom and dad a couple times before i move away to chicago. they're so awesome for taking me in! at least i know that i don't have to worry about scary in-laws, IF that ever is the case...

my soldier left today. he's gone for a year. fighting for our country and our freedom. thanks, baby, we all owe you a lot. now stay safe and come home in one piece. i love you.
