Well, I know that I have royally sucked at keeping up with the blogging...I am not even sure if many of you will even read this page since I have not kept up. But anyway, school, and Sean and our new puppy has been keeping me rather busy. I just finished my last final for this semester. I hit a couple of road bumps though that I thought would not be too bad and not it seems as if they are accumulating. The first issue was that sometime in the middle of this year they changed the requirements for the dental hygiene program...thus they registration department said that I needed 5 more classes. As you can imagine I went banannas. I petitioned all 5 classes that they said I needed and tried to have more of my classes from Elmhust College transfer. They only allowed 3 out of the five. So, things started to look up for a brief week. I am still applying for the dental hygiene program this January but I know that I will not get it because I am missing those 2 classes, which are worth points, so I do not have enough points to get in. Needless to say the second road bump came along. As I went to register for one of the two classes I needed they said that I had to have a prerequisite to take that class. Now my needing only 2 classes in the next year has turned into needing 4. Three math classes and a intro to ethics course. Completely frustrated I am having to reevaluate this endeavor of mine. Who knows what will happen next...I'll keep you posted.
This Christmas we will be in Chicago after all. We just bought the most expensive tickets ever to go out to Chicago for 3 nights and 2 days. Good Grief, as Charlie Brown would say. Sean has cut his two bottom teeth, but just barely so they are still bugging him and he tends to be a little more fussy. Shiloh, our yellow lab, is getting bigger!! She still wants to sleep on my pillow at night and I am having a hard time trying to break that habit (my own fault I know). Well, I will try and do better as I allways say but life just flies by and I loose track of time. Hope eveyone have a Happy and very Merry Christmas!!
