Peaks, Pits, Praises, Prayers

Well it was finals week for me and Jarr so this week has been a little rough. We haven't had much sleep and we are both pretty worn out. Today is our last real day together until he comes back at the end of the summer. I have to work all day and then we move him tomorrow. It will be good for us in the long run, last summer this was good for our relationship. It really helped us appreciate the time that we did have together and to value that time more. We spent a lot less time on our electronics when we were together and a lot more time actually together. So for this week here are my top peaks, pits, praises, and prayers.

Sweet Remy staying up with me while I finish my last paper, she is worn out from her doggie daycare interview.

Peaks: Finals are OVER!!!! Woooohooooo I cannot express my relief to be done with school for the year. We both had some really tough classes so this is a nice break for us.

Pits: That means that Jarr leaves tomorrow for the summer. He will only be 4 1/2 hours away but we both work full time and we won't know what his weekend schedule will ever be like so it could be a long time without seeing each other.

Praises: I passed my hardest class! I was really worried about passing it because I'm going to be honest, Spanish is not my forte. Three semesters of it and now I am finally done. I cannot thank the Lord enough for helping me get through that.

Prayers: For my sanity this summer, I will be at home all summer with the fur babies by myself. This will be a first with Remy. She is a handful at 5 months as a German Shepherd but she really is a good puppy. I just hope she stays that way when dad is gone and mom is really in charge. We will find out who the real alpha is this summer.

What are your Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers this week?

I'm linking up at these parties!

Selfie Sunday

This week is finals week and we have a lot going on with work and moving Jarr at the end of the week for his internship this summer. This is our day in a nutshell.

We got a new big girl collar today, someone is 5 months old and getting so big! 

I can always count on my snuggle bug to lay with me.

Finals Week

Its that time of year again! The last week of the semester and no sleep for all of the college students. As I spend my last few days of the semester cramming away and typing my fingers off writing papers I have a few things I've learned this semester I would like to share with you. 

This is what Eli thinks we should do instead of study for finals. 

1. I will always always always be a procrastinator, it doesn't matter how many times I try to get myself to start early enough.
2. I work best under pressure, I have three papers due tomorrow and only one that is 90% finished and I still am procrastinating by writing this post. 
3. I have the best professors around. Seriously, I absolutely love my professors in my college. I go to a huge University but they know my name, what I want to do, and they talk to me like an adult. 
4. It doesn't matter what your responsibilities are, getting the assignment done is the only option. Many a nights this semester I have pulled all-nighters to finish a paper and then gone to work all day. 
5. College isn't what a lot of people think it's going to be like. I don't go to parties, I work 30-40 hours a week and I'm a full time student taking 15 hours. I pay all of my own bills and I'm responsible completely for myself. I've been on my own since I turned 18 and moved out of my momma's house. I'm not some sorority girl who lives off her parents and gets whatever she wants. 
6. Sometimes you have to buy school supplies and books instead of eating. Unfortunately, this happens because of number 5. I love my job and my employers but I barely make enough to get by and they think because I'm young it's okay to pay me less. 
7. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't deserve respect for the amount of work I do. Quite frankly, I work my tail off. I am always exhausted, I work two jobs plus go to school and I still manage to live. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know how to work or that my job isn't important. 
8. I wouldn't survive without Jarr and Eli. Coming home to them everyday makes my day worth whatever I've had to deal with. Jarr gives me continuous and unfailing support while Eli will snuggle with me and make me feel loved. 
9. I love my major more and more every day. I truly have found something I love to learn about and have a passion for. 
10. I drank a whole gallon of sweet tea by myself yesterday to stay awake! Yikes! I was a ball of sugar yesterday but I did almost my entire book review and I made dinner!

Last night Eli wanted to help me finish my paper at about 2 a.m. 

Its finals week so all bets are off. What have you learned about yourself this past fall?
