Gooooooooooooood Morning!

WildRumpus · December 2010

What's everybody up to today?

laurenclaire1386 · December 2010

hiiiiiii! H is playing Black Ops, so I'm knotting and shopping for kindle books. How you is?

WildRumpus · December 2010

I am fantastic. School's DONE for the semester. I turned in that God-awful 27(!) page paper, and now it's smooth sailing for the next month. I think I might do some Christmas shopping for Rick today, and I'm supposed to do hot yoga with a friend later. I'm not exactly looking forward to it

laurenclaire1386 · December 2010

I hate getting all sweat when it's cold outside because I'm wimpy like that. Congrats on being done for the semester! It's such a nice feeling knowing you won't have to mess with school stuff for a month.

Jennifer&Nate · December 2010

Hanging out here, writing a paper, and hopefully some online Christmas shopping!

Mrs.B6302007 · December 2010

Yay for the end of the semster.

Having birthday lunch with the inlaws today and then goign grocery shopping. Then more Christmas gift wrapping.

MilleRsBest · December 2010

Cleaning house! Yippppeeee

Summer2011Bride · December 2010

One of our best friends (FI's best man) is visiting us from OOT today to tomorrow. We're going to a winery and going out for drinks tonight.

Then tomorrow I need to finish writing my Grad essays.

crfische · December 2010

Mrs. Jesse, sorry about all the suckitude in your world. That's sad.

I WOULD LOVE 14 days! It's kind of nice that Christmas is on a Saturday, but it's harder for me to justify taking a whole lot of time off of work. Like...if it was on a WEDNESDAY, I'd likely work monday and then not go back until next week. This year, I'm not taking any days. Except for when I go to Toronto.

aleighk1 · December 2010

Good morning! FI and I are going Christmas shopping today. We only have his sisters and my nephew left to buy for, and each other but that'll be done on another day.

It's actually a little warm here compared to what it has been the last few days.

crfische · December 2010

Hey there Summerbride! I haven't seen the likes of you around here before. nice to meet cha.

crfische · December 2010

I've got my niece and nephews left, too, and I'm kinda stumped for ideas for what to get them.

[QUOTE]God I miss college. I wish I could have a month off from life in December as an adult. That would be awesome. I shoulda been a teacher.
Posted by crfische[/QUOTE]

I have to admit, I'm kind of glad that I have to go for an extra semester..that means I get 1 more month of Christmas vacation (yay!) but THEN I have to do a 500 hour unpaid internship (boo!) then study really hard for a certification exam, and then maybe not be able to find a job. Can I just stay in college forever? Can that be my job?

WildRumpus · December 2010

Jesse, I have Christmas cards to address too

Why do I do this to myself? And I'm hand addressing all of them, because my printer is being a POS and won't print on the envelope. I can only do 10-15 at a time before my hand gets tired and it starts to look like a toddler went to town on the envelopes.

crfische · December 2010

Remind me what you're going for again, Jill?

I remember unpaid internship days on top of a full class schedule and being really poor. Those were the best days. F'real. Life was so simple then. I remember thinking MAN. I can't wait until I just have WORK and no school or homework and I CANT WAIT to actually get paid to work.

But I look back on those days with fondness

WildRumpus · December 2010

My degree will be in Child & Family Development, with an emphasis in Child Life. After my internship, I'll take the certification exam and will *hopefully* be a certified child life specialist. It's just a really competitive field, and you have to be willing to move to wherever you can find a job.

crfische · December 2010

A certified child life specialist, huh? I've never heard of that! Sounds cool!

kcscejal · December 2010

Jill, I've volunteered as a child life volunteer at a children's hospital on the oncology floor for 3 years. I really liked my child life specialist. I think it would be such a rewarding job!

Snippylynn · December 2010

Morning?! It's not morning anymore. If it were, I'd have to kill myself because this has been a schit day. S.H.I.T. And? I'M OUT OF WINE.

crfische · December 2010

I just googled it, sounds awesome. It actually sounds like a social worker. Is there a clear distinction between the two?

ast284 · December 2010

I officially started my Christmas Break yesterday! Yay! Had a very brief visit with FI before heading home to my parents. Today is my mom's birthday, and my dad got her the Kitchen Aid stand mixer that she has been wanting for years. But since she is sickly, I'm going to use it first and make her a yummy birthday cake.

Oh by the way, it has been freezing here. It actually snowed on Tuesday! I know that may not sound like a big deal, but in Alabama snow in December is a pretty big deal. I have a feeling the only reason classes weren't cancelled was because it was right in the middle of finals.

WildRumpus · December 2010

What's wrong Momo?

Fisch, check this out http://www.childlife.org/files/AboutChildLife.pdf
I love talking about it, but I'll spare everyone

crfische · December 2010

That's the website I was just on!

I was just wondering if there was something a child life specialist is able to do that a social worker can't or what the difference was between the two?

WildRumpus · December 2010

Yes, there's a difference. You don't HAVE to have a CFD degree, but for certifcation you have to have a specific number of courses that deal directly with child development and hospitilized children. I've looked into social work as well-that's what Rick's mom tells people that I'm doing, but I'm not interested in getting my Master's at this point. Maybe in a few years.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

Jill - that is really cool. I have never heard of that degree either. That sounds like something I would like if I ever get burnt out on teaching. I have thought about being a school guidance counselor, so we'll see, maybe I will go that route someday after teaching.

crfische · December 2010

GOTCHA! Very cool. I thing for people who help kids.

Snippylynn · December 2010

*sigh* Ever have those days where you just feel down and then everything that happens during the day just makes you feel worse? That's today. I woke up feeling like poop because I somehow convinced myself overnight that I didn't get the job I interviewed for, then my friend here bailed on us for Christmas so she could randomly go to the US with her new, Swedish BF, H is sick and whiny and we went to go and try to find boots for me but they're all far too expensive or not warm enough.

Basically, I'm just in the midst of a grand ol' pity party.

WildRumpus · December 2010

Ugh. Yep, have definitely had those days. They're hard to shake. Hopefully you feel better

Snippylynn · December 2010

I think I'm most bummed that we now have no plans for Christmas and we once again can't do anything. It's so hard. So hard.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

Aww, you poor thing Snippy. I hope the rest of the weekend goes better for you.

I feel you. Sometimes I get so depressed bc I can't shop and do things like I used to bc money is always so tight for us. But I can honestly say I am doing much better being positive than when I first moved down here. How long are you guys gonna be there?

I am trying not to think about Christmas since we won't be home again this year. The only good thing is that H will not be working on Christmas Day like he was last year, that really sucked. I felt like I was cooking just to be cooking in between crying a lot.

kellyjellybelly · December 2010

Hi everyone. It's all gray outside, so I'm just wasting my day on the couch. I have to go get some cat food, but I just dont feel like leaving the house.

Gooooooooooooood Morning!
