The semester is ending and so is my time in Ireland. I'm moving back to the States in less than a week. I can't hardly believe it, then I look around at the boxes and suitcases to pack and I'm reminded all too quickly...

Very bittersweet.

I'll be moving back to my native Arkansas for the summer. I have a job transcribing classes for deaf...

Oh man. School is killing me! I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but daaaaamn!

Send me some good thoughts and pixie dust that I make it through this term in one piece!

My time in Ireland is drawing to an end...flights back to Arkansas in a MONTH. I can't believe it. It feels like I just arrived here to this magical place....

I've been so absent lately. School is absofuckinglutely insane. I'm currently in a master's program, and it's a one year program...which means the craziness people usually get in two years? yeah, I have it all in one. frown What was I thinking?

I have a concert tomorrow, singing with a baroque ensemble. The week after that, my program is putting on a drama, and two of...

Yesterday, came across pics of me from about this time last year and discovered, to my dismay, that I've gained more weight than I thought.

Let me be perfectly clear - I've no desire to be super skinny. But I do enjoy having a bit flatter of a stomach and some tone to my body. Seeing these pictures was...frustrating. When I took these pics I...

you are absolutely right you are sexy. do it for you and only you, if someone makes you feel any different than thats there opinion. It would be one thing if you were over weight which your clearly not. I'm not a trainer per say but i can leave you cheap simple advice to help for fast results.

No starch carbs after 5 pm, mostly water, becareful with fruit intake. for exercise its simple 50 sit ups and 50 crunches a day, right on your living room floor, and finally maybe a nice walk once or twice a week. These are all useful tips that require no gym memberships.

Good Luck !
operarockstar:
smile Yeah, I'm doing all that right now. Crunches are making my abs their bitch!

I suppose it's a perception thing as well - I'm a bigger girl, but not overweight - I'm muscular and I have a large frame, I've been told that by medical professionals/trainers. But when you go to buy clothes and see the size tag, it messes with your head.

I will never understand why a professor cannot be more organized.

My course director has a nasty habit of sending out our weekly timetable late at night, right before our week starts. I had planned for my voice lesson today to be at 2pm, as per our last discussion. In the midst of my super bowl party that I hosted - I get an...

I've not blogged in a while...

It's not because there hasn't been plenty to blog about. Maybe just because there's been too much to blog about.

In August, I moved to Ireland for graduate school. It all happened pretty quickly. Applied at the end of June and by the end of August, knew I - we - were going, as hubs got accepted as well....

For sure! Internet's kind of tough for me right now, I'm homeless for about a week until the dorms open up at school. I'm pretty sure I have my msn handle on my profile, you can try me there. I'd love to get to know some more people in Arkansas, I've only been living here for about six months now.
