Wedding things, Work things

-
Hi there!

It has been a loonnggg time since I last wrote. I've been pretty busy with the whole moving into a new place, making lots of wedding crafts, acclimating to new job and just overall being busy.

Two weeks from today I will be getting married to my best friend and the man I love. I'm really excited to come home from work and share a meal with him instead of being lonely in this apartment. I'm excited to be done with wedding things. Though it is nice to craft, it is very stressed out crafting, especially with the time crunch coming. I'm happy to be done spending over $200/month on gas driving to different things, though ultimately, it was our choice, but still. Wedding season is expensive for everyone. I'm so stoked to be going up to Victoria BC for a honeymoon. I'm happy to know a bunch of friends, family, and co-workers/ex-co-workers will be attending and I get to have one party in which I get to see them all and spend some time with them!

Work has been going well! I absolutely adore my co-workers. They're pretty great. I work in the Etch Department and have several other process engineers I get to work with. 3 of which are around my age, which makes it a lot easier to ask questions and ask for help/advice. I'm really blessed to have such helpful co-workers who are willing to answer my questions and help me get on my feet. I was really excited as yesterday I got my first pay check for working for 3 weeks, and it is just nice to have income and not stress as much as I have in the past with money.

I was really blessed last week to have a beautiful bridal shower put on by my mom and mother-in-law-to-be. It was great to see them work together as a team. My mom had made all the yummy food, and June did all of the games and such. It was fun and I loved getting to see all the beautiful ladies and catch up about how they are doing in life and such. I just with I could be a better friend to everyone, but realize that life and being caught up in what you do can really separate you from people. Maintaining friendships takes work, especially when you live far away. I have made the majority of my friends by living next door/on campus with them, and therefore became friends. Keeping friends is the challenge. I just hope I can truly seek out and strive to be a better friend with all of the transitions we are all going through.

Regardless, this is just me saying, I'm okay, hanging in there, excited to get into a routine and be married. It is stressful, but I know that the love and support and help from friends and family will be enough to get us through it.

Thanks for reading,
M.E.

Well, I've had the last few days of work off and in that time, I haven't really accomplished all that much. I've been busy with fun things, so I suppose that is something. Technically I'm supposed to have the 4th thru the 8th off, but there was nothing to do on the 3rd, so I took that off, and I'm going to be helping a group check-in for conferences on the 8th since we'll be short staffed, so it's okay. I'm excited to actually work, for hanging out here and not doing anything makes me feel horribly guilty. It's weird just living right above the central office of UHDS and seeing everyone come in for work when you decide to sleep in past 8am and lounge around in your pajamas. It's not very do-able, I feel horrible about it, so I just tend to stay cooped up in my room and continue to sleep and read. I read til my eyes are tired, then I sleep. When I wake up I continue where I left off at. Let's see, what have I been up to the past few days.. W...

A Relaxing and Agonizing Day

I'm a little bit in a conflict here.. If you couldn't tell by the title. Today has been really nice. My Electrical Fundamentals class was canceled, and I only have 2 classes today, and a decent amount of time between the two. However, tomorrow, a ton of stuff is due. I have Statics, an Engineering Data lab (which we were poorly informed and the lab was poorly written, not really a great combo..), and lastly, this lovely thing called a speech, which makes me ever so nervous. When I was younger, I had to get up and give speeches. In 7th grade, I had to give a speech on Little House on the Prairie, but I wasn't ready for it.. I was so nervous.. I got up in front of the class.. and started crying. Needless to say, I didn't have to give the speech. I had to do it the next day, but still I was better then, but there is something about getting up in front of people, having their undivided attention, and delivering information that they are supposed to somehow benefit from, ...

Rain, Rain, Go Away

You ever have those days, where every little things gets to you? The tiny moments that, in the grand scheme of things, should be nothing, you can brush it off sure, but eventually you can't take it. Finals have been my defeat today. That and the additional weight of everything else. I think I'm just going to have a bit of an emotional rant and wallow in my own self pity for a moment, so if you are looking for some encouragement, I encourage you to look elsewhere. Today was my two hardest finals. Back to back, engineering and physics. engineering is transient balances, the change in temperature with respects to time or mass over time, etc. The rest of engineering, I get, but this concept, killed me. That and a few other little things like the heat capacity of ice can be used at all temperatures through the process, only to be found that when my friend had clarified with a TA that you weren't supposed to make that assumption, even though it stated that in the problem. Let...
