I remember as a student, I loved August because it was "back to school" time! "Back to school" meant I got new clothes, new school supplies, and I was excited because I would get to see my school friends again. There was always an excitement about August that I loved. However, those days are gone.
Now, August is the month where students are trying to come back to school last minute because "Hey- why not?", my phone and email is blowing up with 1,000 different questions/ issues, there are more meetings and events that I need to attend then I have time for, and my bosses are constantly on us about the enrollment numbers and getting more people into courses. Because of all of that, August is the month I normally find myself taking after work shots of whatever booze I have in the house, but not this year (I wonder why?).
However, I'm trying (trying being the key word) to look at all the positive things that I got going on in August in hopes to make this month suck a little less. So far the month started off on a strong note, with my friend Anna's bachelorette last weekend!
Good times were had which included a pole dancing class, a lot of tasty food, and a late night of dancing with a moose!
Also, at the end of month I have my cousin coming in from Michigan to alter my bridesmaid dress and spending the weekend visiting Chicago.
(She also did my wedding dress. She does great work!)
Additionally, I have Anna's wedding rehearsal!
Finally, I also got some really exciting news from one of my close friends. I can't really share too many details yet because it's not "Facebook" official, but I'm very excited for this new chapter they are starting in their life!
Well August, 6 days down & 25 more to go. Wish me luck everyone!
