Ok, so ... what to say??? ... I guess I will start with what's going on right now ...

School. There's a lot of that. I'm working on a BS in Sociology with a minor is Psychology at UH. I should be finished with that in December 2011 and then it's off to grad school, not sure where yet but probably at UH. This semester is a lot of fun. Most of my classes are associated with my major, that's exciting! I'm taking: Population Analysis, Sociological Theory (yea, that's a mouth full and a challenging course), Stats for Sociology majors, and Clinical Psych (ugh! Note to anyone considering a psych major at UH -- their psych department is horrible) ... I just turned in my first paper for theory, it was challenging to write but I think I did well on it. I can't wait to get the paper back, I'm such a nerd. I WANT MY GRADE!!!! LOL ... Next week commences the first exams of the semester, JOY! I'm ready though.

School isn't the only thing going on though ... I'm also working on getting back in shape. Going to the gym about 4 days a week for 1 to 2 hours each session. Feeling pretty good about my progress and determined to see more! (:

There's work and my amazing fiancee, Chris. He's going to school too. He's working on an Associates at Lonestar -- North Harris. Between working full-time and going to school full-time, he stays pretty busy.

Ooooooh!!! We just adopted a new kitty. She was a stray that kept appearing on our back porch. Chris let me feed her, then I named her (Nala), and then I let her in (: It was a long process b/c Alanis was not happy about someone new coming on to her territory, but she's been inside for about a week and a half now and things are going much more smoothly. Her, Piper, and Alanis were even chasing each other around the living room last night. It was really funny watching the 3 of them. (I can't believe we have 3 animals, 3 is definitely the limit ... I'm sure Chris will be glad to know I feel that way, LOL)

I do a lot of reading for school, but I'm trying to read more outside of that. I've bought 3 new books recently and I'm determined to read a little bit of one of them each day. I've started on Dirty, Sexy, Politics by Meghan McCain. I <3 memoirs and even though I'm only on page 22, it hasn't disappointed so far. I also bought Chelsea, Chelsea, Bang, Bang. I've read her other 2 books, so I'm excited to read this one. The other book I got is a bit more "educational" or whatever you wanna call it, LOL (I'm not much of a fantasy reader). It's Unhinged: The Trouble with Psychiatry - A Doctor's Revelation about a Profession in Crisis by Daniel Carlat. This is a topic that really interests me, so I think I will read this one next

Alright, I guess that is it ... This is my first attempt at blogging, so bare with me. I will get better, except my grammar, that wont get better, so that you can deal with (: Oh, and if you don't like my blog, you can blame Leslie (she is my inspiration)
