Long Time No Post! (A Quick Update)

Hey guys! It's me, Elizabeth... you know, that girl you used to hear from every couple days? Yes, no, maybe? Anyway, a lot has happened since I last posted, and a lot is going to happen yet--so much homework to be done, all the time. Primarily writing... which I do actually love. But I suppose I ought to start with an update from my last post. That exam I missed? Well, after a LOT of back and forth, I managed to convince my professor to let me retake it. It took me asking if a letter from the Dean would help, and assuring her he'd already offered, which he had, but she was convinced in the end. Also, I've begun therapy again, and my therapist is a riot. Seriously, we get along great, and I spend half of my sessions laughing at her reactions to my crazy life xD.

Also, work is going really well--I was offered a job with the service desk over the summer because she apparently really likes me as an employee. Which is what I'm most concerned with now--I'm going into debt pretty deep with my dad in order to stay here this summer and take one course... hypothetically, I could use my scholarship's study abroad stipend, but I don't want to use it now when I DO hope to study abroad at some point. So figuring out the financial side of this is pretty awful, because out of state tuition is INSANE. I am hoping, though, that it'll all work out... and soon.

As far as my personal life goes, I'm happy. There are still some things unclear for me, but I'm happy overall, and am, as always, grateful for my wonderful friends. I think I'm going to start posting pictures of random stuff in my life for you guys, so I can stay more connected even when I don't have time to write a full post. I'll try a couple out soonish and see what you think :). I hope you all are doing well, and that you find it within yourselves to finish the school year strong. Much love, wishing you well,
