No one reads this...I know.  But I'm awake and have nothing to do, so I'm going to update.

As of today, I'm a college graduate.  I went to Mount Vernon to take my final exam for my online course and I think, I hope, I passed.  And as soon as my grade is posted, I will send a transcript to MV, and they can send my application to the state of Ohio to issue me a teaching license.  So, hopefully all the paperwork is timely and I don't have to stress about receiving that within 60 days, because if I don't, I don't get paid.  Not the perfect scenario.  I love teaching and all....but I think I'm ready to get paid for it.  So, my online professors, if you're reading this, please grade my finals this instant, thank you.

So what else...since I graduated, that means I'm not going to be moving back to my apartment on campus.  I didn't think I would care about that, but I'm kind of getting sad about the fact that I will never live with my friends again.  I mean, I kind of have that option, but I really need to live at home and save money.  So yeah, it's sad...no more sitting around watching countless episodes of Friends, or dropping weights to wake up Sarah and Cass, or staying up all night drinking coffee and giggling.  I don't think I want to be a grown-up yet!

So, that's all that's going on.  I'm in a rush to get ready to teach this fall.  I start Aug. 21st and I'm really nervous.  I miss Nate everyday and still wish we lived closer to each other.  But hopefully some things might change sometime soon.  We're praying and hoping...and I am looking forward to being able to see him more often.  Hope you all enjoy the last couple weeks of summer.  I'm so glad I'm a teacher.  I get every summer off for the rest of my life!  I'm so smart for picking this profession :)  I guess God kinda did that....I can't take the credit.

Well everyone, have a blessed week,
Miss Linamen

I have nothing to say except life doesn't make sense.
I just wish we could all be in heaven worshipping our Savior right now. 
Wouldn't that be nice?

Oh dear God, please comfort the ones I love so much right now.  It's hard to see them hurting and there's nothing I or anyone else can do right now to stop the pain.  Only you can bring them the everlasting joy they need to survive.  Please Lord.  Draw them close to you.  They need to feel your love.  And if there's anything we can do to show them your love, reveal that to us.  We all need you.  And we love you.  Amen.

I really like coffee.

I really liked Christmas this year. 

I love Nate.

I love that Anna's back.

Senior Colloquium will not be an easy and fun class.  It seems to last 5 hours when really it's only 2 and the amount of work that needs done in 3 weeks seems to be too much.

I'm glad that I'm graduating in 4 and a half months.

I love my sister Aubrey.

I have some New Year's resolutions but I feel like if I share them then I'm bound to them and then I would HAVE to do them, and they're just ideas at this point...so, we'll see if any of them work out.  I'll tell you at the end of the year.

Nap time!

Go God!

ONE more online course...and i have noooooooooooooooooo motivation to do it.

Tonight I will be watching my little sister Alexa perform.  She is a great little singer and dancer.  She's probably going to be famous after I write Oprah a letter and get her on her show. 

Then Nathan should be at my house at some point tonight.  I hate living hours away from each other.  It's probably the worst thing you could do to me...make someone I love live so far away and there's NOTHING I can do about it.  Long distance isn't fun.  I know that I'm lucky though, at least I get to see him on the weekends.  The wives of soldiers in the war haven't seen their husbands in months or even years.  That would be absolutely horrible.  Please don't go to war Nate, I would hate that. 

Yeah so I don't have any other news.  I want to be in shape, but I don't want to work for it.  School has just drained me of any motivation to do anything.  I don't enjoy life anymore...thanks a lot Mount Vernon Nazarene University Education Program!  No, really though, I just want some down time and it seems like it's never going to happen.  I still have school work to do and I've been working at Spageddies again.  I made $100 yesterday.  That's good!  That means mom and pops get Christmas presents!  I wish I could get everyone something...but the funds just aren't there.  Most of my family will receive something nice...if you're not in my family, well sorry, I don't have the money.  But I do love you!!! 
Ok I'm done rambling and complaining.

OH yeah, I'm going to share some positive news.  I got a 3.85 this semester. 4 A's, and 3 A-'s. Best, and most challenging semester in my college career.  Neat.  Hard work paid off!

One more thing...had an MRI done...I have no brain abnormalities.  Apparently I pass out and get a tingling feeling in my head and headaches for no reason.  That's neat too. 

It's cold outside!

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!!!
