Week 1 Famous Last Words

This week marked the first week of my last semester before I graduate with  my Bachelors of Social Work from OU. I can't believe how fast time has flown! It feels like freshman year was just the other day! I've had a lot of good experiences and a lot of bad ones since i've been at OU, but they have all made me a better person and I am so thankful for that. Anyway, I am positive this semester is going to be great. My roommate and I have resolved to make good grades, work out more, and volunteer more. In fact, she is joining me at my practicum site, Calm Waters, as a volunteer! I'm so excited to see what adventures this semester takes me on. 

As for this week, it's only Tuesday and I already have a lot to write about. Lets start with the weekend that led up to my first week of class. My roommate and I drove back from Kansas after spending a few days with her grandmother (and her adorable, lovey horses) on Friday so she could attend training at Calm Waters. Saturday, we celebrated her birthday by having dinner with her family at Zios (omg, so delicious) before heading to the city for my gift to her. I arranged for Amber (birthday girl), my boyfriend (Rafy), myself, my bestie Michael and his girlfriend, and our friend Seth to stay at a hotel in Bricktown. We stayed at the Homewood Suites on E. Sheridan in a giant room that was right across the street from the Circus Partybar, a nightclub that we planned to go to that night. The service was great and the room was amazing.  We had the best time! Then, on Sunday we had lunch with her family, including her grandparents. Her family is so amazing. I count them as my own.

Monday was the first day of class and I loved it because I only have two classes that I actually have to go to and they are with professors I had last semester that I really enjoy having. So, after getting to see my fellow social work classmates again (finally) I came home and made birthday dinner for Amber (Monday was her actual birthday), a yummy meal of chicken and broccoli tortellini alfredo, with a little hookah for dessert. It was a great end to a lovely and productive day. 

Also, every time I try to do homework my cat gets on my hands and meows at me until I stop and pet her. She says "no" to homework.
