Where to start, I feel like I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions journey for months and I am hoping for these emotions to even out at some point.
1. I signed up for the Big Bang this year and I finally accomplished my goal. My story is dedicated to
sammyndeansgrl1 after I was inspired by her story Falling. I worked on this story for about 3 years and the story itself has changed and grown in itself. And I completed this story well taking my first Master's Program class. I am very happy and pleased with how my story turned out and very excited to be sharing it with everyone. Then the next step was being claimed by an artist, and I never knew the anxiety levels I would go through just waiting to be claimed. I was claimed and so over joyed and excited to see the artists view and eye on my story and how the artist brings it to life. Then for the last requirement is having a beta and I am so grateful to have a beta because I know my writing and writing style is not the greatest or strongest compared to other writers out their. But I am honored to have one and loving the support and help to get through the final stages for future posting of said story. I hope when this process is complete that I will continue to be friends with my beta and artist!!!
2. Master's Program in Early Childhood Studies. I completed my first class on April 26, 2014, and my final grade was an A. WOW!!! Yay me!! I was so excited and thrilled to have passed my class that I was nervous about my next class starting. My second class is a lot more work then I was expecting but at the same time its nice to have a refresher in the subject and topic of Early Childhood Development. So far no grades have been posted but anxiously waiting to find out how I did and how to improve throughout the rest of this course.
3. I went on vacation to Reno, Nevada for a week!!! Finally a break from life and just relaxing and having a good time with my parents. I was able to enjoy some shows while I was out there and watched my parents bowl a few frames at the National Tournament they participated in while being in Reno. It was a nice break from school to regain my balance and get prepared for the next one to start. As well as I was able to take a break from work. The shows I saw were Dirk Arthur's Magic Show and I was blown away with the illusions and magic tricks with wild animals. The other show I saw was a tribute to Johnny Cash. Amazing music and amazing talent from locals.
4. Work - gah, I don't even know where to begin. I work with this woman who has cognition delays and anger issues. She never communicates anything that is bothering her, or important information regarding the children in her care along with her teaching team, and gets easily frustrated. Anytime I try to help out and express how I feel, I have this feeling that it goes right over her head or she is completely ignoring me during the conversation. It gets a little frustrating when I need to tell her what to do in the classroom, when to do it, and how it do it on a regular basis. I mean she can't even do her job and yet the boss feels differently even though she was complained to me and other co-teacher regarding her in the classroom. It gets to the point where I am teaching 8 toddlers by myself with no help or support from this woman and its a day in day out thing that happens non-stop. No matter how many times myself and my co-teacher share and express our concerns to our boss its a never ending battle with loads of stress attached to it.
5. Friends wedding and weight struggles over the last year and a half. I am in my friends wedding on June 14, 2014 and its been a crazy experience. Bridesmaids tried on 3 different dresses until one was finally chosen and decided on. The bridesmaids planned a Jack and Jill Party for the Bride and Groom and not even 50 people came too it. It was thrown together at the last minute and the matron of honor did not like any ideas the bridesmaids were sharing and sadly the guests did complain. I was disappointed that the event was blah and could have been planned much better then is was. I have sadly gained the 15 pounds I had lost and gained it all back :( I feel ashamed and guilty that I let it happen but things that I was going through on top of it did not help at the same time. So now I am on my journey of losing the weight and hoping to have the strength to keep it off.
6. Friends - in real life minus my girls Christine and Lisa!!! Its been a struggle and a learning curve of who my true friends really are. I have always been there for everyone through their ups and downs and when it comes to my turn; no one seems to take it to heart and really listen to what I have to say or share regarding a certain topic or situation. After admitting and accepting that I am bisexual I feel that their are some people who are helpful and are taking the time to hear me out. Hence way I feel so comfortable to share my feelings, true feelings, here compared to any other social networking site out there. The friends I have here are amazing and so supportive, it brings a smile to my face!! I am honored to have met amazing wonderful people here and the friendships that were formed here. Thank you for being my friend!!! Love you all!!! More then words can say!!
7. I created a community about 5 years ago and real life happened which I did not use LJ during that time. Now that I am back and enjoying fandom again; I want to get my community up and working to its potential. I would love suggestions, ideas, tips, and any help and support to make it happen. I would like to have more prompts and requests be shared and filled by others if they can. Anything would be helpful!!! My community is Faerie_Wish =
