Awaiting Vermont!

It's been far too long since I've posted. So, here's a brief update.

1)My mom is A-OK!! She has no cancer, but we've found out that she is anemic. That's not such a big deal compared to the big C...she just needs to take her prescription and eat right, and she's all set!

2)I received a first round of the HPV vaccine. It's always a good thing to be protected from a few of the main cancers, especially when there's a history of it in your family. I go next in April, and then August.

3)Taylor and I had our 11-month mark yesterday. It's been a whirlwind so far, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

4)My friends keep getting engaged. I found out about one last week or so, and another one last night. I'm getting antsy. Haha. When you know, you know, right? Right!

5)I'm officially swamped with schoolwork. There is no end at the light of the tunnel. At least until May.

I've been trying really hard to achieve a balance between school, work, family, and boyfriend, but it is really hard, especially when it's hard to even make time for the Lord. I've been scrambling to get things done in time for Spring Break, which is next week. The wind ensemble is going to Vermont for it's spring trip, and I would like to get paper writing out of the way so that the only thing I will have to worry about (actually be able to do) on the trip is reading.

I'm really excited to do my lesson plans. I feel more and more confident in my new major. I changed last semester from music education to elementary education, and I really do feel like I fit better in this field. Everything just adds up and works out right!

I'm pledging Kappa Delta Pi this semester. It's not a typical sorority...it's the "professional society for education majors." Add a couple of service projects and fundraisers on to the other 3850928 things I have to do, and you have a bald Hilary. I'm not losing my hair yet, but I've been yanking it for 2 months straight.

This is what I love though. It's sick. I LOVE schoolwork. I absolutely love everything about it. I love to be busy, I love to learn. So I guess I secretly like being stressed.

It burns calories.
