• No baby here + an update :P

  So I figured I clear one thing up first. I am not pregnant. I received a message asking me about that after I pulsed about sonographers on here. No, I am currently in my last semester at UALR and will be moving on to finish my last two years at UAMS. 

  I’ve sent in my application, paid the forty freakin’ dollar application fee (apparently it just went up from being twenty -.-), sent them my transcript, and completed my observation hours. Now all that’s left is meeting with the board whenever they contact me to do so. 

  I asked plenty of questions when I went for my observation hours, but I had two questions I forgot to ask. 1) How many hours they average per week, and 2) do they get paid when they’re on call (someone told me they do, but it doesn’t make sense that they would unless they actually got called in). So I was just wondering about that. Soooo, if you’re a sonographer, married to one, related to one, or you know one (or even if you just know the answer somehow) then I’d greatly appreciate the info! 

  Anyways, Trey and I have been doing great. Things are going well. I’m sad this will be my last semester with him at school. Assuming I get in, I’d go to UAMS for two years then graduate. That following semester, he’ll be starting there for two years for PA school. I’ll be all by myself at a new and intimidating school I’ll live, but it’ll be scary at first. Trey should have his German degree by the end of summer. He has to go on a study abroad program for a month, but then he’ll have enough hours to get it. He’s also going to sniper school for a month (probably will be broken into two sets of two weeks at a time because it’d be in the middle of the school year and he can’t take off a whole month during it). So he’s going to be gone for like two months throughout April-July probably. It’ll suck, but I guess if he gets deployed I’d have to deal with it too (but for much longer) so I’ll survive. Same as with school, it’ll just suck lol. 

  I’m liking most of my classes. I’m taking the following:

  • ASL (American Sign Language) and LOVING it, 
  • World Literature which isn’t too bad, 
  • Social Psychology which I picked just for the hell of it and it’s awesome
  • Intro to Music which I hate and I hate that the school forces the Arts on people even if they have NO interest in them…
  • and Ethics and Society which I just picked randomly and it’s pretty cool. Sometimes the reading (philosophy) can be a little hard, but I like the discussion aspect of it.

  Trey’s birthday is Tuesday. I’m excited to give him his presents I was also going to take him out to the Pantry (a German restaurant in town) but he says his family’s going out for dinner and that’s where they’re going…. way to steal my thing which I had planned for a while. He knew I was going to do it too I’m really upset/disappointed by that. They have good beer there and since it’s his 21st I was gonna drive and buy him one. Well, pay for it, I can’t buy for another like 14 months lol. 

  Umm, speaking of German, I’m learning it with Rosetta Stone. It’s cool and it’s not too difficult to learn. The Rosetta Stone program is really cool. 

  I’ve been meaning to update for a bit, I’ve just been really busy. 

  Oh and I’m convinced I have manic depressive disorder. Trey told me he thought I was and I looked it up and it fits me perfectly. I don’t know. I’m not going to go to the doctor to have it confirmed or tested or anything. Just throwing that out there as a random thought. 

  I suppose I’m going to read more of chapter four in social psychology on behaviors and attitudes Later!
