busy summer bee.... summer school= BAD idea

Goodness am I overwhelmed.

I had to drop Spanish 1 because it was way too intense for a 4 week course. I was sure that I wasn't going to get the "C" that I needed in order to not have major consequences, so I dropped it. And added criminal law. Man was that a mistake. I have had 3 assignments (of 10) due so far, spent AT LEAST 4 hours on each, and haven't gotten better than a 60%. I'm nervous. If I don't get a 'C' then we will probably have to pay around $5000. I emailed my professor to see if there is anything that I can do. Hopefully he writes back.

Other than that, our time is quickly dwindling to get our CO drivers licenses. Maybe have like 7 days?? Hopefully we have at least that, before our insurance is cancelled. We spent 2 hours at the DMV a couple weeks ago before they told us we didnt have the proper paperwork and we would have to come back. Grrr. I'm hoping to get mine done on Monday, it's just a pain because if AJ can't go with me, I have to get a sitter for Jayden.

I also have a TON of pictures to edit. I still have to finish Jessica's senior pictures, and then tackle the mountain (of 1300) pictures from Christina's wedding. That's gonna hit the back burner until I finish my criminal law hw that is due this week though.

We're also in the process of house hunting. Oi. Frustrating. We've put 3 offers in so far. Have heard back from one, and they pushed us out of that one (sad face), but still have two out there. We'll hear back about one on the 5th for sure (it's gov't owned, so they have a date set), but the other one could be a while. We've got 5 more that we're going to look at this week. It's just an exhausting process.

Ok, I'm off to read about Colorado Histoy for another class.

What I wouldn't give to just escape at the gym for an hour right now... soon grasshopper, soon.

I'll leave you with a couple from our Alliance trip this weekend.

busybeeeeeee

So I only have 15 minutes before I hanker down and do homework for the rest of the night, but I felt the need to update on my life.

Lindsey came out from Lincoln. I miss her SO much. I literally feel more at home when she is here. Hopefully within the next year she'll move out here. I figure I'll give her one more year, then I'm giving up all hope.
We went out downtown on Saturday night. It was amazing fun. I have never been downtown in Denver, and it was a blast. We got all dressed up, took a taxi and all went to Tavern. AJ's BN buddy, Taylor, came out with us, it was good getting to know him a bit more. He fits in now. =] Alyssa and Nate were there too, good fun. Plus my bell, I was in heaven. I rolled my ankle running after AJ who was running after a van cab... really bad. I was in 6 inch heels, so rolling it was 50 times worse. I couldn't walk on it the next day, and, five days later, am still a little hobbily on it. =[ hopefully it gets good enough by tomorrow for work, because I sure do need the cash. =[

I feel like my photography is really starting to take off. I am doing Jessica and her friend Kameron's senior pictures this weekend. Then on the 18th I am doing Christina's wedding. I booked another wedding in Alliance on July 22 (Matt's sister). I'm worried that after that I'm going to hit a wall though... hopefully not.

I'm taking summer classes. Spanish one, 5 credits in 4 weeks. Plus a Colorado History class, the same 4 weeks, which is 3 credits. UGH. I'm going to be beyond busy this month, esp since Jessica is going out of town around the 20th... Which is exactly why I am going to be doing homework for the rest of the night.

Goodnight.
