True Beauty

I was sifting through some of my friends Myspace pages when I came across this youtube video. It's sponsored by Dove, as part of their Campaign for True Beauty. It makes you think about our society's expectations of "beauty". Thought I'd share it with you. :)

The Five Love Languages

It's important to understand how different people feel loved. Especially in a relationship, it's vital to understand how to make your partner feel that she/he is loved. I took a quiz based on Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages to find out what mine were.

Exciting News!

Ever since my first meeting with my adviser the second week of school, I've been feverishly tracking down professors, department heads, and transcripts. It's taken quite some time to sort out the mess caused by my transfer from Walla Walla. Today I met with my adviser again, and found out that I WILL be able to finish my undergraduate credits in time to apply to the occupational therapy program this next spring.

While hearing that it was possible was music to my ears, I realized just how much work it's going to be. To complete everything in time will mean a lot of effort. During Christmas break, I will complete the GRE exam so I can apply to the Masters of Occupational Therapy Program. I will also complete two computer literacy courses (new version of Windows since I took it at WWU so they couldn't accept the credit). During December, I'll also be shadowing OTs, and working on the application essay, letter, and finding people to fill out recommendation forms.

After Christmas "break", I will take 20 credits for winter quarter: Theories of Personality(5), Social Psychology (5), Intro to Literature (5), and Modern Government in the American Context (5). Spring quarter will also be 20 credits. I will take Emotion & Emotional Intelligence (5), Music in the Humanities (5), The American Experience (5), and Social Problems (5). After that, I'll be ready to start the OT classes!

I'm a bit nervous about taking 20 credits, this quarter has kept me quite busy with the normal load of 16, but it will be worth it. I am so excited to hear that I will be able to start this summer!

Some pictures from the last few months

Mrs. Lenz, Mrs. Lenz, and Mrs. Lenz. 4th of July weekend.










This is a picture of one of our first meals in our new home. He brought me flowers!











I made a special meal for Bob's birthday. It was fun to bring out our china.










Bob and his new power saw.













This is the morning of my big hair-cut that started out my stories on blogger. Wonderful self-portrait, eh? I was desperate, what can I say?
















Here's the result of the haircut. You can also see our home behind me. We're in the duplex on the right side.

















Off to my first day at Eastern Washington University.


















Bob fixing the breaks on Bill's car. Bill's lending me his car while he's gone for a year in Yap as a student missionary.










First day trying to style my newest haircut. Just a little shorter and added some side bangs.












I'll try to be better at keeping up with this blog! My apologies! Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Sometime soon I'll have to post a "tour" or our home so you can see everything. :)
