So FINALLY the last week of actual classes is OVER!!! And for my undergraduate career...it's REALLY OVER!!! I may stick around at IPFW and take a few classes that I will eventually need in Grad school, but as for my Bachelor's degree...I will finally have it after I finish finals next week! It's really hard to believe. Time seems like it just flew by! Especially this year! Where did time go? I mean there were moments that seemed like they were never going to end...but overall..whew..it's ended!
Im nervous about Grad school, but Im somewhat thankful that I have a year to really check schools out. Im also somewhat jealous of my friends who are going this coming fall! Oh well, I believe everything happens for a reason!
So last week I took my GRE's..and ohh my goodness are those things loooong! I definitely did better than what I thought I would. I still cant believe some of the words they ask in the verbal section. I mean seriously...are they REALLY words that are used in someones daily vocab? Ummm I dont think so. OOH and last week I finally had the chance to go to one of the guys' volleyball games at IPFW! Good job boys at winning!!!! :) I also went to a Freedom football game for the first time ever last weekend. That was interesting. I never even knew that Fort Wayne had a team. haha.

Well I think thats pretty much all I have this week! I probably should start studying for my four finals...I DO need to graduate!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE ON FINALS!!! and I'll see some of you on the 10th for Graduation!!!!

Okay so today was a beautiful day!! The weather has been awesome...and I am not officially a godmother!! My best friend Stephanie had a baby...a little boy!! Awe he's so precious!!! She was in labor since Monday..ugh!! I can't even begin to imagine! But I was so excited to see him today!!! Babies are the cutest...and creation itself is just absolutely amazing!!
This past weekend was a lot of fun for me also.I was able to spend time with friends and play tennis and basketball as well as have people over for movies!! ...Oooh and I love Easter!! I got to spend Easter day with Ryans family..which was a lot of fun!

On a totally different note...I have been having the hardest time staying focused. Only two and half more weeks, then I will be classifed as a college grad. I can't believe it. It's just crazy to me. However, I just hope that I can end on a strong note...and get pass this extreme case of senioritis...it's been a true struggle. I just have sooo many other things that have been going on ....like searching for a job during my year off before Grad school..and my search for a new bed!! ...Im going to vent for a moment. I CANNOT believe the prices of mattresses these days!! It's ridiculous! All I want is a quality comfortable bed...and I could honestly pay for a few months of rent and car payments with the prices they charge!! If anyone knows of any good deals on mattresses or places for employment...feel free to let me know!! knignl01@ipfw.edu is where you can find me!! LOL!! THanks!!! :)
Well anywho~ I really hope everyone has been enjoying the awesome sunshine and warm weather!! Enjoy your week!!!

So yes yes..AGAIN..it's been forever since I have written..BUT...I'm incredibly overbooked this semester. I have too much going on! I've been slowly trying to get rid of things here and there to rid up sometime..but it almost seems impossible to really have some time for myself. Anywho~ I figure I will find that time AFTER the first week of MAY! YAY Graduation ONLY a month away! I'm super excited. Im actually more excited just for the time I get to spend relaxing and enjoying time for myself. School has been incredibly time consuming this semester, but overall it has been pretty good. I've probably enjoyed this semester more than any other.

Nothing really new has taken place. I havent really been able to spend much time with friends. HOWEVER....I DID in fact FINALLY get my braces off last Friday!!! Oh yes!! I was so excited..and still am! I love not having those annoying things on. I now feel older than 10, which was definitely what having braces at my age made me feel like. It was really interesting and funny to see who noticed and who didn't. The people I work with happened to notice more than any of my close friends..which was humorous. One of my managers at work even came to me four days later declaring that she FINALLY figure out what it was!!! After I tried to figure out what she was talking about she told me that she was sitting at home with her husband..and suddenly blurted out "That's what it is!!!" and her husband was clueless..and she had to explain that "Nikki got her braces off, and I finally figured out what was different" LOL!!!

Other than that..my life is kinda boring right now...I think most people know the cycle..school..work..school..work!! I need something to spice up my life! hehe

Well I'm done with boring everyone for the week..I hope everyone else's life is more exciting than mine at the moment!! ONLY a month left till summer!! WOOHOO :)
