Life is CRAZY!

Life has been pretty crazy around here. I will try to give you some of the updates.

I am still working at TCCW 20 hrs a week. I am basically done with my internship, although I still have an assignment that I could work on, but frankly, I don't have the time. I am now working with United Way for my training class. I am on a team with 3 other people to develop 3 trainings for them. I also am working at a place called MAHLE (pronouced Molly) for six sigma... they make car stuffs.

Last Friday a group of us went to a corn maze (maize maze) near Murfreesboro. It was fun, it was nice to really see the stars again. We managed to conquer it.


This is a picture of a picture of the corn maze, we got lost in those letters at the top for a while.Jayson and me, he doesn't always dress in a sweater vest and scarf and glasses... just for special occasions.

Here's the whole group. From left to right, Andrew, Jaclyn, me, Jayson, Scott, and Daniel.

On Monday I went to that "Get Motivated" seminar, which most of you already heard about through email. That seminar pretty much put me at exhausted with lots of work to get done yet that night. I had a selection test the next day and a six sigma assignment due. I tried as hard as I could, but I didn't make it past 1:30 before I was forced to go to sleep. I didn't have six sigma done, and I had barely studied. I got up at 6:30 and started on six sigma, I quickly realized that this assignment was going to take much more time than anticipated. So I had to choose between studying for selection and doing six sigma. I chose selection. I ended up submitting homework for six sig that was all guesses without doing any of the actual analyses required. I got to class still very distraught on handing in something that was all guesses because I don't think I have ever done that before in my life. Then the teacher announced that because many students couldn't get the required software to work on their computers we would get a couple extra days on the assignment. I WIN! I couldn't believe how lucky I was. He gave us until 11pm tonight... and guess what time I submitted it... 10:50pm. I am a great procrastinator. I also submitted the homework for next tuesday though, so maybe I'm not that bad.

One reason for my delay in doing six sigma is my nap turned to 15 hours of sleep that I got last night. So I was wiped out after a long day of work, which came after the long day of test studying, test taking, and six sigma freaking outing, and that came after the start at 5 am day..... so I was tired. I watched the Grey's Anatomy that I had missed online and then decided to take an hour long nap before starting six sigma. Well I fell asleep around 6pm, woke up around 8:45pm when my phone rang, talked/mumbled on the phone for 15 minutes and then decided just to go back to sleep. I didn't set an alarm because surely I would wake up early, right? Not so much, I fell asleep and next thing I knew it was 9:15am. So I got about 15 hours of sleep.

Thats about all I can think of right now.....

Two things: The two of you are very cute-even if he does wear a combination of scarf and flip flops. It reminds me of an ensamble I once gave Shawn a hard time about.
Secondly, one of my students actually designs intricate corn mazes around the country. That would be interesting if she did that one.
