Enough already!
Ok, so let me preface this by saying how happy I am for all of my newly engaged friends -- I wish you nothing but the best!
But, seriously, it needs to stop. It seems like ALL of my friends are getting engaged lately & I'm, like, "woah!". But the worst is when everyone asks me "so, when are you & Eric going to get engaged?"... and I'm like, "woah!"
I mean, we've been together just over 2 years, and while I would love to marry him some day, we're just not ready yet. And it's great that we're on the same page with this... we both want to be settled into our future careers a bit, perhaps actually have some money & savings set aside, before we even consider that next step. So, yeah, it may be right for my other friends right now, but, seriously, Eric & I are happy with our current arrangement -- no need to make it crazy w/ a diamond yet... (though, I have been having fun making rings at www.bluenile.com ... hehehe)

Life is good...
So quite a bit has happened since my last entry!
This past weekend, I went apartment shopping at Kent & now I have a place to live next year (well, I'm moving there in June, actually, but, yeah, you know what I mean)! While we were there (we = my parents & me), we got a chance to have dinner w/ Kyle & Erin, two of my most favorite people at Kent. It was great -- they had us cracking up laughing the entire time, but they also gave some insight into the whole apartment search & random places to go once I do live there. So, yay!
Now as for the apartment, it's in Kent Village (http://www.simco-apts.com/kent_village.htm)... a really nice one-bedroom apartment w/ reasonable rent (which includes ALL the utilities!), & it's really close to campus, so I'll be able to ride my bike or take the bus on crappy days.
This week hasn't been too bad at all... I completed my last undergrad assignment EVER on Monday (a presentation in my Neuropsychopharmacology class -- say that 3 times fast!), & now I've just been chillin' since then. I don't have any exams until Saturday, & even then that one is just for my stats class, so it shouldn't be too painful.
Tonight Eric & I are heading to Indiana for an Alan Jackson concert w/ my parents & my brother & his girlfriend & her family (fun times!). Matt (my brother) bought Eric & I the tickets for a graduation gift... & even though I'm not a HUGE fan of country music, it should be a good concert & I'm looking forward to it. :-)
Then I'm staying home Friday to get things in order for the final move home f/ good ol' Albion College. Hopefully I'll be getting a new cell phone (through Verizon, most likely), so I'll be sure to get all my friends my new number (if I have to change my number) ASAP -- let me know if you want it & I'll add you to my list.
So, yeah, a busy but relaxing week... just what I need before graduation. :-)
More to come later...
<3,
Amber :-)

It's a beautiful day!
Well, partly cloudy anyways... it's finally warmer than it has been (though weather.com says it's supposed to get down to the low 60s during this next week... grrr).
And it's been a fairly decent week, as well, though a bit stressful. First of all, I had 2 exams this week -- not fun -- but as far as I know I didn't completely suck on them, so that's good. I managed to skip my stats class 3/4 this week... I only showed up on Wednesday because we had an exam. I've gotten so bad about skipping that class... I need to start showing up more for the rest of the semester... bleh...
On Thursday was the annual Elkin Isaac Research Symposium here on campus. I gave a presentation about my thesis & it went quite well -- I was nervous as heck, but I received several compliments on it (the best was my parents actually understanding it -- go me!). I also received an award -- the David K. & Patricia R. Hogberg Award for Research Excellence in Psychology, so that was pretty exciting (something to add to my vita... which I think I might start putting together fairly soon, just so I don't lose track of stuff). Unfortunately I missed the private psych lunch that day for award winners -- why? because I had no idea that it was even happening... a classic case of miscommunication...
And then today I did the same presentation at the Michigan Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference (MUPRC). I was HEAPS more relaxed about the presentation today than I was on Thursday. And between both presentations, as well as completing a thesis, I'm really starting to think I can handle this whole grad school thing & I'm really getting excited about it.
Speaking of grad school, I'm going apartment shopping next week! I'm so excited -- I'll soon have a place to call my own & to really make a home somewhere. yay!
Well, that's about it for now... it's TOGA TIME! hehehe...
Till next time...

Irritated...
So, yeah, we had a KD meeting tonight & it wasn't exactly enjoyable. That makes me sad, since I have so few left. What makes me really sad is that we've been steadily going downhill w/ each meeting. Like tonight, for instance... so we've been on a kick lately of voting on things to change in our bylaws, all of which have been money-related. First of all, I don't feel right voting in the first place, since all the changes will take effect in the fall after I'm gone; and second, tonight's stuff shouldn't have even needed to happen. We're charging people for not doing what they're supposed to do... something we removed from our bylaws just 2 years ago.
This house has certainly changed a lot since I joined... and I'm sure it will change some more. I know that change is inevitible, & I'm not afraid of the chapter "falling apart", but I'm just concerned that people are too self-absorbed in their own agendas that they don't realize what's really good for the chapter.
And I'm also really pissed off that the majority of the chapter doesn't know ritual & that they really don't care. I'm sick of us always going through the motions. We all joined KD because of the cherished sisterhood & foundations on which it was built -- and those foundations are within our ritual & people need to start taking it seriously & stop goofing off when we have ritual reviews & to take the time to get to know it.
Rant over...
Random note -- I swear the jelly bean I just ate tasted like soap... yuck!
Till next time...

stuff...
Wow it's late... or early, depending on how you look at it... nearly 2am. Oy! The crazy thing is that I've been working on my thesis for the past 2 hours or so, but I'm still pretty awake, so I might work on it a bit more after this break.
So this week is Greek Week here at Albion, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to do much participating in it since I have this little thing called a thesis that's been consuming my life (as if you couldn't tell f/ pretty much all of my previous posts). What's really been irking me is some people complaining that some of us seniors aren't participating... & I'm like "WTF mate?" -- these people don't know busy until they take on a huge-ass thesis. Try that on for size & then you might have room to talk, thank you very much. But I'd also like to point out that the senior class was the largest in attendance for initiation this past weekend -- we do have our priorities, ya know.
End Rant.
Ok... enough of that & I'm sure I've probably upset someone w/ that, but I don't care.
So I went to Relli's tonight for a bit w/ a few of the seniors... there should've been more there, esp. the ones that were all "you guys never do senior bar night... you HAVE to go this Monday" -- yeah, you know who you are. :-P But, yeah, we didn't stay too long, but it was still cool to hang out -- definitely going to do more of that after April 7th!
Well... I think I'm done here. Off to work on the thesis a bit more, or just head to bed -- sorta undecided at this point...
More later...

Kent State it is...
So I did it. I accepted my offer at Kent State today! I just knew that it was the right choice for me & I know I'll be happy there... not to say I wouldn't be happy at CMU, but I think my best fit is at Kent -- they just have a lot more to offer me & I think that they will prepare me very well for the next step (either post-doc or employment).
More details as I get them...
<3,
Amber :-)
