You would think that I would have learned by now.

I need to stop seeing impossible things and start seeing a possible God.

Did you know, I used to model in Irish cookie ads??

Surely I'm kidding!

I just found this photo while looking back at photos from Ireland.

Dear Future Hanna

Please enjoy this two week break that you are now embarking on. Please do productive things with your day. Work out, eat well, read books, sort through storage, draw, paint, sing, clean,watch Lord of the Rings, write your thoughts regardless of how deep they are and limit your shopping.
When the next school quarter starts, please do not only start strong, but set yourself up to also finish strong by working ahead and getting plenty of rest.
         Please head my advice so you can thank me later.
                                      Sincerely, Present Hanna

Tomorrow I will turn in one last paper. This will mark the end of this very accelerated mid-quarter at school. I'm not really sure what I will do during my two week break. Ideally I would like to take a trip somewhere, but I am scheduled to work every night. I guess I will be saving my money then, and watching Lord of the Rings a few times and reading a few books. 

 I have the travel bug something fierce and would really like to buy an airline ticket. I was looking at prices today and round trip tickets to S. America are pretty affordable. That is if I ignore the fact that I have tuition due in the next few weeks.

I guess you can't have it all.

How unfair would my life be if I had 2 pretty cool jobs, a wonderful fiance, got to study the exact field that I want, and I got to jet set around the world on my breaks? 

I wouldn't complain about that life, but I guess that 3 out of 4 isn't bad.

I really wish I was better about taking photos, but its too cold right now to snap any photos when I am not in the house. 

Photos in the house are not worth sharing. They consist of me in some form of lounging clothes

with crazy hair, wrapped in a blanket and studying. 

Well that is all I've got. Goodnight!!

PS. Wish me luck on finalizing this paper.

I really need a good grade on it. My present grade percentage in the class is lower than I would like (though still an A).

CIAO!

Consider me exhausted..

I am finishing up week 4 of  6 right now.
I don't even know what to say. I am really tired and am not looking forward to working an 8 hour shift tomorrow, then coming home and rushing to finish said paper.
I also work every day next week so week 5 of these classes is going to be intense. Bring it on, I guess.
I am ready for a vacation. I would love to just drink some hot chocolate and watch Lord of the Rings.
I'm off to bed now. Ciao!

Yesterday was the 2 month mark. 

Two months ago, the paper work we sent in for Andres's visa was accepted.

They say that we should expect it to take about 5 months to process. I am trying to remain as optimistic as possible and tell myself that somehow it will take less than 5. 

I suppose we shall see.
