Hey girls!
Wow! What a week it has been! I have been up until 3 am for the past 3 days, and I am sooo tired! When I get tired, I get a tad bit more outspoken and rude then usual! It hasn't been pretty today haha!
The first night I got home, it was around 10 and I just unpacked forever! There is a lot going on around home right now and I am I think just overwhelmed. Its okay though because its Christmas and everything is always okay at Christmas time!
The second night, I stayed up with some friends who were home and watched Christmas movies until I just couldn't watch anymore...so much fun! Last night, I went out riding golf carts with a nice glass of wine and my friends. We always ride so late and don't even realize it! (Can you girls tell I live in a small town with limited options on things to do!)
Tonight is the big High School youth group party that my mom throws every year! It is so much fun, well it used to be for me. I actually am staying upstairs for this one, although we did spend much of yesterday and today cleaning house and it looks fantastic! She did such a great job, as always! She has been throwing this shindig since I was in the 9th grade, and it starts with dinner, then the youth goes caroling around my neighborhood (haha always a thrill...not!) After they carol, they come back and do a gift draw, and some of the gifts are hilarious! It used to just be one of my favorite nights of the year.
Also, I know this is probably so sac-religious but it is so worth mentioning!!
So we have this sweet pastor at our church, hes absolutely wonderful with the old and the sick of our congregation, and he does well in the pulpit. So today, he was leading the Pastoral Prayer, and he says " We pray for all of the sick and the poor throughout our country today. (Here we go!) Also, we pray for the stampeding at Wal-Mart, and the shootings at...Toys R Us."
Okay, all of that is very, very sad! This poor man though, talks about as slow as a turtle walks! In Mexico on our mission trips, we had a joke that if we asked him what the day had in store, it would be over by the time he got an answer out! Very slow, slow talker! He is truly a great preacher though and I probably shouldn't have told that story. It was just so funny though, how slow and serious he could say the words Wal-Mart and Toys R Us! My sister and I were dying laughing, and my mother was none to happy, she was actually down front serving communion, but oh did she see our faces trying to hold back! I bet if we had busted out laughing she would have been almost as unhappy as she was when I wore my monogrammed strapless dress last Easter Sunday...I will never forget her looking at me and saying "not in my pew!" Granted it was a little cold, and I was coming from Lake Norman with my friends, I should have gotten a sweater. Y'all all know that Southern Mommas have their rules! Her facial expressions are always absolutely priceless, and she never gets angry.
Okay, back to the last few days! I have been printing off my resume and cover letter and sending them to over 30 stations that I found on this great media website. I am asking that they just keep me in mind for the future because my advisor says this is always a good idea, I sure hope he's right! I am so excited to see the plan that's in store for me! I think I am gonna love where I am at in 5 years career wise if I can just stick with it!
Well, I will post again soon! Have a great Sunday!

EXAM WEEK
Hey Y'all!
I am so sorry my posts suddenly stopped again, but it was exam week and it was hectic! I got through and they all went great! I had the best time just sitting in the house studying and having a Friends marathon for 3 long days!
I am officially finished for the semester and I am so happy about it! Although, I am sad to leave all of my friends for the holiday, but we will all be back and fourth to Raleigh so that is very exciting!
Well yesterday was just long! I had 3 exams, and MY INTERNSHIP DIRECTOR YELLED AT ME!
He was yelling at another girl when I got in there, and she left balling so I had to just say a quick prayer and go in! I was not happy with him! He gave me 4 hours notice that I had to have a letter from my internship boss at the news. She had been out of town for 2 weeks, and I had to call her 5 times and get her to write it before 5 yesterday or he said he would fail me! It wasn't even my fault, but thank God I work well under pressure and got it done.
So I get in his office with her on the phone and he goes "I am so sick of you damn interns givin' me shit about your excuses" and I was like, well here's another excuse buddy! my boss has been out of town and she will have it by 8 am Tuesday, is that okay? "NO! Have it by 5 or you fail, I am running out of patience Garner!"
GEEZ, at this point I was just ready to cry!
So then I walk back to ask him a question and HES TALKING ABOUT ME to another teacher...RUDE!
I calmly told the asshole that my parents don't talk to me that way, and if there was a problem then he could explain it because I don't do well with yelling. (i'm outspoken, but I hate yelling!) I told him that if I got here at 4:59 and he was gone, he better not even think about failing me because I was on my way to an exam at 2, and he threw this on me...stressed!
Somehow, I made it through and was still nice to everyone, thank you GRITS books!
Well I went back at 4:30 with my stuff and he apologized, and I mean I really like him as a teacher but how rude...seriously! I am a 20 year old girl, don't yell at me for your mistake buddy!
Anyways on a better note, tonight since my roommates and I are all done we are celebrating! I am making Vodka Tonics all around, we are opening the cutest new bottle of wine and some friends are coming over to hang out and talk about what a crazy semester we had!
I feel like everything comes up all at once at the end of the semester for me, and I have to rush to finish it all.
Today, I had to take my car to be looked at because the breaks were grinding and it turns out it is a BIG problem with the suspensions, but that's okay because there was a CUTE guy in the gas station (not working, waiting for his car too!) and then the gas station I go to knows me because I always go there! They are about 2 seconds from my house, and they are so helpful!
It has been a great few months, and I am bittersweet about this semester ending!
If any of y'all are teachers, or taking exams God Bless You girls!
Have a great Tuesday!

Oh Happy Day!
Hey Y'all!
Oh wow, today has just started out wonderful!
As you know, when I get bored I apply for jobs haha, so I applied for this job last Tuesday at a CPA firm in Raleigh. It appeared to be very professional, and the dress was checked on the sheet as: professional(!! my suits won't go to waist after this internship is over!!) , and it was just the most perfect position!
So, I sent my resume, and cover letter which never let me down (thank the Lord in Heaven!) and 15 minutes later I got a phone call at work.
I interviewed this morning at 10 and stayed until 11:30 talking tennis, and politics with everyone in the place! The absolute sweetest, most personable group of people I have ever met! I first met with the cutest lady in the world, 62 year old Daisy! She and I will be working together be it that I get hired, and she is just the nicest person! She told me that she thinks her granddaughter and I look alot alike, and asked if I was a natural blonde. This absolutely made her one of my favorite people, as my hair was darkened and I keep thinking its brown! What an angel!
I wore my banana Republic black and white tweed suit with pearls and my sunglasses proudly on my head (people say don't do this but it compliments me) I thought it was funny as I was walking I looked at myself in the window to make sure I was lookin good (don't we all, c'mon girls don't lie!) I realized that I posed a striking resemblance to Lindsay Lohan in the Parent Trap when she arrived at summer camp in her suit hahaha!! Too funny!
Then, I met the CPA's themselves who were intimidating at first, but then I got used to them and found out one of them is an avid tennis player!
I then met the office manager who was from New Orleans and we both went to Catholic schools, I was only supposed to talk to her for 5 minutes, but we talked for 30 about everything under the sun!
They said they have more interviews but they will decide soon, and I am just hoping and praying because their firm is very small, in an office building, and they are like a big family! I also love the professional environment, and I cannot say that enough! I am supposed to interview for a babysitting job tomorrow, but girls I think that this CPA job is irresistible! I really think it will look nice on my resume, as well as provide an excellent learning environment for me to work in with little to no yelling, and criticism!! Thats a huge plus because I don't like criticism.
Last night, E came over again and my roommates and I all had wine and talked for hours and hours, then my roommate and I decided to make macaroni and cheese at 3am. We were so hungry for some reason, and just not tired! Those nights to me are the most memorable, and so much fun!
In other news, I love my GRITS books, as you know! Well I e-mailed Deborah Ford, the author the other day about the GRITS clubs, and she e-mailed me back and we have a phone call on Monday to discuss starting clubs around NC, so if you girls are interested let me know and I will keep you all posted on here! I am so excited to talk to her, she is an amazing author, and honestly a celebrity!! Hello, she wrote the book I keep beside my bible! LOVE being a GRITS!
I hope you all have a great Thursday, and if you are taking exams best of luck!

Oh, The Holidays!
Hey y'all!
Well the holidays were great for me, and I hope y'all's were great too!
We spent Thanksgiving in SC with my cousins...and their METAL DETECTOR! I love a metal detector, and we seriously spent half the day looking for "treasure" (They are 8 and 12!) They are so cute, and it was a lot of fun! It was the best Thanksgiving I have ever had, because for the first time in years, we spent it with my moms family and it was just such a beautiful day!
Well, okay so E and I have been out twice since I last posted, the first time was Sunday night. I got back to school from home around 7:30 and he got here at 8. I had a glass of wine, and we watched a personal favorite, "O Brother Where Art Thou". Could that soundtrack be any better?
We had a great time, the only downfall is I caught the freakin whoopin cough (okay not really, but it feels like it!) while I was home, so I told E I was gonna be lookin like hell, and he better match! I had on my leggins, uggs, and VV green fleece...so not totally hell haha! We just talked for hours, I eventually had to go to bed at 12:30 because I just felt awful, but as most of you girls do...I faked feeling good for a few hours while he was here! It was well worth it because I love spending time with him!
Then, tonight, I went to see him at Campbell. I left and got there by 7:30, just in time for "Christmas at Campbell", a chorus concert that amazes me! The only semi-awkward part was my ex was singing, and he flashed me a big grin when he saw me!
After the concert, we were heading to get dinner, my ex leaps out in front of us, to say a quick hey. It honestly was so good to see him after 6 or 7 months! He gave me a big hug and then his new girl walked up and introduced herself, she is really sweet and looks a lot like me. I'm not kidding, she really does. Shes really cute though, and I am so glad they are happy! He hugged me again when they left and that makes me realize it is not as awkward as I thought which is such a relief! If he hadn't started dating someone, I never could have started dating E!
After we saw them, we went and ate Mexican and then I went and saw a friend of mine from home who goes to Campbell and it was so so so good to see her!
After that, we went back to the apartment and watched a movie until 12:30!! I couldnt believe where the time went, I still had to drive back to MC!! Haha!
I got back about 2am, but it was such a fun night!
I am seeing him again on Wednesday for dinner and I think I may go there again because it is so much fun, the school is so pretty and it is in such a quiet little town!
I hope everyone had a good Monday!
