Doin' Work

Finally, a moment to blog! I've been so caught up in the madness of the end of the semester, and exams, and final projects, and additional jobs! That's right, a new job. I'm now a TCA (Test Center Administrator) on campus in the administration building (The JET building for all you Appsters). It's pretty serious. There's no funny business in administering tests for grad school. I have such pity for these examinees. They all come in so nervous. I mean, these tests dictate where they head in life. I'd be losing my mind in anxiety too. We get a lot of students (and adults) coming in to take the GRE and Praxis tests. Along with the CLEPT, MAT, and MCAT tests, among others. So anyway, my job is to pretty much be security, but I also check examinees in and out for testing, and book appointments over the phone. The job is a grad school position but they needed help so badly they're allowing me to work as an older undergrad. Which is great because this little gig sure is going to help pay the bills over the summer.

Other than that, I just recently finished a 20 page research paper and I'm wrapping up production on a 15 minute audio documentary. So it'll be good to finish up the semester and prepare myself for MARRIAGE!

T-minus 30 days. Aw yeah.

Just lovely

I awoke early this morning to view the royal wedding festivities. I thought it was exciting to see all the friends and family arrive into the beautiful Westminster Abbey. That cathedral is breathtaking! Not sure what is up with me these days but I cry at anything sweet or sentimental. Last night, I cried with the departure of Michael Scott from The Office and today when Kate was getting in the car from her hotel to drive to the Abbey, I teared up. What a sweet moment! I can't even imagine how she felt. Being a commoner, her dreams really were coming true. If you missed it, don't worry the media is replaying everything all day but there was something special about being up so early watching it live. I must admit I fell asleep after they said their vows (the church choir was beautiful and put me into a heavenly slumber). I randomly awoke right when they walked unto the balcony and had their kisses. Watching the wedding made me super eager to have mine!

And that dress! Lovely. I did feel she played it a little safe but I guess you have to with all the "rules" and such. However, she looks stunning as always! Did anyone see her sisters dress? Super sleek and stylish. Big fan. Well enough of my opinions and tears....time for me to pack! I'm going to Raleigh this weekend to celebrate my upcoming wedding with all the girls that worked at camp with me plus my bridesmaids. Lots of girls, food and shopping. Woo hoo, can't wait! I have not been to a slumber party in a long time! I'll be back later this weekend and will share the details!
