Finally Finals are Finished

So finals are done and I am so happy about that. I really bit off a little too much this semester. Normally it wouldn't have been too much but some mid-semester news changed that. Robert and I moved out of our apartment over the weekend (thanks dad and Shaun for the help and the truck) and finished cleaning it on Monday. I had training meetings for work yesterday and today, and now I think I know what I'm doing (I hope). I am doing research for a professor this summer and continuing the job I had this semester with a publishing company; I am doing both remotely which will give my schedule some flexibility. Robert starts his externship soon and we are excited to enjoy the summer and not have to worry about school. Next year at this time we will be graduated and studying for the bar exam. Good luck studying for that Josh we are praying for you. So, just an update and more updates will be coming soon.

Computers and Stuff

Sooooo......my computer decided to crash and refuse to boot on Saturday. BIG PROBLEM because finals started on Monday. I called Dell and they did pretty much nothing but said they would send someone on Tuesday. Um hello finals on Monday and Tuesday. In law school you take finals on your computer; no final=failing grade. Luckily, the IT guys at the law school took pity on me and allowed me to use a school laptop for two days to take my finals. The tech guy that came today was nice, but I still hate Dell because I paid a ton for same day service and I got four day later service. The tech replaced my motherboard and LCD screen and my computer works again. Thanks for nothing Dell, I will remember not to buy a computer from you again.

Finals are here. Robert has one left and I have four left. Why did I not take any pass/fail classes this semester? Anyway, I am living in finals survival for the next two weeks.

Finals

Ugh! what more do I have to say?

Hello, It's Spring!!

But Mother Nature thinks it's still winter. We had snow this week. I mean, really. We are also supposed to get a ton of snow tomorrow and more during the week. We all expect cold temperatures and snow in January and February. March comes and it gets warm and sunny for a few weeks and then WHAM! more snow and cold. It happens every year, I mean it's normal for Utah, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I wish I could boycott snow. Really.

This week is going to to busy. Robert has his Crim Pro final on Monday in SLC at the courthouse. Guess who gets to be a witness. That would be me :) Then we have work and finals to get done. I didn't get the laundry done today, but I got one of my outlines for finals finished. I have six...finals, that is. Robert and I also went on a date last night :) Mimi's has good food and we got to play some games with some friends of ours so it was a lot of fun. I'm tired so I'm going to bed because we have 9 o'clock church (but it's way better than 1 o'clock church).

Thursday

Wow. Another post. So soon after the last one. I know. I know. I wouldn't be doing this if the class I am currently in (accounting for lawyers) weren't so boring. We are four chapters behind and yet finals are in three weeks. Yikes. Three weeks. I have a feeling that we will not be finishing the book before finals.

The weather is finally warming up, but another snow storm is expected. Ugh. At least I have the Twilight party to look forward to this weekend. One of my friends is braving the crowds Friday night to get the DVD. She is bringing it to another friend's house (where we have Geek Night) and we will have an awesome party on Saturday. We know the movie is bad and that the books don't contain the greatest literary merit (most of us are English majors and editors). While we like the stories, we are aware of the flaws and a good part of the party is going to be making fun of the flaws. Oh it is so fun to have friends who think like I do. Go Twilight! (The guys will be having a "guys night" on Saturday)

Class is almost over (finally, it's a two hour class) so I better go. BYU is playing in a few minutes and I know Robert is dying to go to the fishbowl and watch the game. The fishbowl is the receptionist office at the law school. They just installed some flat screens there. I have work after accounting, and then Insurance Law (which is surprisingly very interesting). At least there is a new "Office" on tonight.

I'm still here

School has been crazy. So much to get done and so little time to do it. I guess I shouldn't have maxed out my credits this semester. I am taking the max the school allows. It has been fun to have Shaun here this semester. I get to see him when I help him with his papers.

The weather is getting warmer, but just when you think Spring has arrived. Wham! Snow :( Typical March weather. At least you expect snow and freezing temperatures in January. Robert's parents and little sister were in town this weekend for Brian's (Robert's brother) men's choir concert. The concert was great as always. On Friday, Robert and I had a huge group project worth 80% of our grade in Entertainment and Sport Law. The professor said he liked it and that we had set a high standard for the other groups. We were the first group in the class to present. There were six of us in the group.

Finals are only four weeks away! Where did the time go? I looked at the calendar and realized that I need to start outlining and studying for them. Finals are no fun. I just hope my computer decides to cooperate this time around. That's all there is for now. Just work and school and crazy weather.

1 Year for Mike and Adrianne!

So I have been pretty bad about posting big events (birthday's, anniversaries) so I am starting today. Mike and Adrianne have been married for one year today. I remember when they got married. Robert and I were in Provo and Grandma Duffy had just died. We were all here for the funeral (except the bride and groom who had to finish wedding things) and there was a huge snow storm in Utah. The whole family was able to make the flight to get home for the wedding.

Mike and Adrianne chose to get married on February 9th because they had a running joke with that date. He used to tease her by telling everyone that her birthday was February 9th even though it is in January. So it had a special meaning for them already.

It was such a gorgeous day in San Diego. The sun was shining and it was around 80 degrees. Oh the warmth was so nice. Adrianne was beautiful and Mike was dashing. The reception was so nice and the food was excellent. I caught Adrianne's bouquet and then Mike and Adrianne left for their honeymoon. I am so lucky to have them in the family. It has been a fun year with them.
