Doctor Who and January Updates

This morning I woke up from a very intense, active dream which basically involved me in the weirdest Doctor Who episode. There was pizza, rocket missile mountains, dinosaurs (I think?), River Song, me, some kids, swimming pools, babies, and farms. And that was the end of the dream. I woke up right after I got a message from the Doctor about where to meet him. 

So in celebration of a Doctor dream and probably the closest I will ever get to being a companion, I wore my blazer I bought to cosplay the 11th Doctor to work today. No bow tie though, despite their coolness factor. 

It's weird. My last semester of "classes" start back up Monday, but I am not going to campus, because one is online and the other is an internship in financial aid. Today I am going to lunch with my internship supervisor, the director of financial aid, to discuss the goals and tasks of my internship. I am excited about it taking place at Panera. I am not looking forward to the hungry look in the eyes of the financial aid staff last night when I talked to them and they heard they were getting an intern.

In other news, my friend Beanie, over at Motion Picture Mission, found this money savings challenge on Pinterest yesterday and we both decided to do it. I deposited $10 from my checking to savings to get started, but next Friday is just $5, $6 the week after. I really needed something to spur me to save money, considering I haven't added to my savings since we moved in the house. I was going to set up transfers, but I like seeing the difference every week. 


My office-mate is out today, which means listening to music and taking all the appointments.

It is real!

The Professor strikes again. I just talked to the English dept chair about the new Journalism major and she asked that I submit a fleshed out course description with goals, key readings, and objectives. I also have to come up with a title. I honestly think Social Media and Marketing is the most descriptive and catchy title for my course, so I might just stick with that. We also talked about offering it online, which I think I will do for the fall and then try in person in the spring.  Oh, and yea, she wants me to offer it in the fall. THIS FALL!! When we discussed it last, she thought I could teach in Spring 2014 at the earliest. Wow! I am now going to be finishing my masters degree and working on a course I will teach at the same time. It blows my mind. I mean, I guess I have been studying this stuff and living it since January 2008. 5 years, that's weirddddd to think about . I've been out of college almost 6 years. When the crap did that happen!! And my 10 year high school reunion is coming up! Too much is going on. It is all blowing my mind. I am going to be doing an internship with another department on campus on top of working and doing another online course. So if you don't hear from me until I graduate in May...  now you know why.


Also, it is the hubby's 30th birthday next week!! I am excited and can't wait! I can't believe all we have accomplished in the past couple years. And the Superbowl falls on his birthday this year, which really, could not be more perfect. Happy birthday, my love!
