I work full-time in a great job, with the most amazing people, at Western Governors University. It's been a really good fit for me, and I feel that I can do my job well. I'm on the maintenance team. My team resolves every complaint or concern anyone has (student or teacher) As well as make all the changes requested for courses. It's busy and fast-paced, and I love it!
I have the most adorable 1 year old puppy, Clary, who is sweet, cuddly and everything a girl could ask for. Well, except when she jumps on my stomach in the middle of the night, which is usually followed by barking, and me having a heart attack. Her hobbies include chasing the other dog we live with, demanding to be pet, and staring at herself in the mirror. She's a riot. I'm glad she's mine.
In other news. I have officially decided to (finally) finish my education. While I've been working I've become extremely interested in Instructional Design. It is something I love doing (currently I can only help on some of it) It has convinced me that I know what I should do with my life. So, at WGU they encourage you each semester once you complete your 12 required credits, to try to finish more classes before the 6 month term ends. Most people earn their degree in half the time. So, my goal is to finish my Bachelors and my Masters in 5 years.
Last story this week... Comicon... It was beyond awesome. I went with my little brother Zach. There is so much to see, and so much to do, that it feels like you will never be able to do everything. Zach knew that I am a little obsessed with the show Supernatural, and 3 of the characters were there. We just so happen to luck out to meet Mark Pellegrino and get a picture with him, (and me a hug) which was by far the coolest thing that happened to me. We met a lot of people in awesome costumes. It is definitely a crowd for the nerdy. Zach had a special pass that got him in an hour earlier and he sent a text saying "Allie. These are our people!" True story. :)
Okay, only one more picture from Comicon with accompanying story. This, for all of you who don't recognize him, is Peter Quill (not the real one) Peter quill is a character in Guardians of the Galaxy. Many of my friends and family know that I have this odd obsession with this amazing movie! Without fail, I watch it at least once a week. My favorite character is Groot. This adorable tree/person who knows a whole 5 words. I have Groot shirts, a keychain, a dancing toy (It's adorable) and pictures drawn for me. So, when I met someone dressed so EXTREMELY authentic (I mean Walkman, headphones, guns, everything) I basically turned into a nerdy Fangirl and had to get a picture with him. I joke now that I should have told him to marry me, but alas, he disappeared into a special VIP room, never to be seen again :) But hey, if you are out there... Call me ;) And that my friends, is all from me for now. Hope your weeks go well! And, I will see you all again next week.
