updateee

So a fully update is in order. and instead of studying for my huge exam tommororw i decided to blog. i just have alot i need to write about and what better time, i mean i just need to finish studying... i already started. i need a bit of a break.

updates on allison :

tomorrow is my first day at First Solar - its a company out in Perrysburg, and I am going to be the new Manufacturing Information Systems Training Anaylsis Intern (WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!) I will let you know some more after i start, but what I think it means now is that I am helping the IS people learn new software when we get them and prepare training for the rest of the company. so we will see! i am excited! and this company's main custumers are located in.... GERMANY!!! whoop! so i mean it was great to have experience with germany, even though as an intern I probably wont be going there, but the company is growing at WARP speed. which is awesome.

check out first solar and some recent news on them here.


so with a new job... i need a CAR! so i am still searching... but i think i have found one. so crossed fingers and pray for me. i dont want to say much about it because if it doesnt work out then yah... haha but soon i will have wheels . until then my awesome friend is letting me use her car.

just got back from FALL GETAWAY it was my last retreat with campus crusade. it was really fun and relaxing, i loved meeting the new people. and i was sick, but i am always sick for it every year... haha but it was great. we had a lot of fun with the skits and at the bon fire! :)

classes are going good. just alot of group work getting under way right now... which i should probably start doing instead of still blogging...


i had a great time with my guest parents a few weekends ago! they took me to "paradise island", on lake erie and it was great to meet and hang out with a bunch of fun people. i loved listening to their stories about life. i have pictures so maybe i can post them later.


Ohhh yah one last thing, homecoming is next week. i LOVE IT. and i got nominated for HOMECOMING QUEEN! yay! So vote for me!!!! haha its going to be a great time (my face just needs to clear up.... so i dont look like a fourteenyearold again...)

ciao guys

wednesdays..

so it seems like wednesdays at this exact time is a good time for me to blog. its just a time where i am at my house just chilling and gathering my thoughts for the rest of the day.

lots of stuff is going on but really great things.

i met my new mentor today and that was great. i cant wait to see how god uses her in my life to stretch me and how i continue to grow. i think we are going to read a book called "a cure for the common life" i am excited.

work is going good. some drama but you will have that. its nice to be back in a place where i know whats going on. thankfully its not crazy busy yet, but i know it will be.

classes are ok. i will go through them... i mean i kinda have a gist after three weeks whats it going to look like

international finance : the teacher has so much experience, but he goes on and on about his trips that we never learn anything. plus i did a bunch of like currency conversion this summer so its not too bad. i have a perfect grade so far.

international marketing: not sure where this professor is from but his accent is bad. plus he is super boring. and he uses an overhead (which like are ancient) but again, i learned alot of this over the summer. guess what group project number 1. we are looking into singapore...

neogotations: i have this class with ed, its fun and interactive, but the professor loves to talk and talk and talk. i mean its interesting but yeah. group project number 2.

organizational leadership: i have this class once a week and the professor is amazing. outstanding. i changed my whole schedule around just for him. he is great and has so much real life stories that makes our almost 3 hour class fly by. group project number 3.

ethics: this class is silly. i mean we have great talks, and so far its just been presentations. soon we will be like role playing and everything. this class is also only once a week. (i like these) but the professor is great, sometimes he talks way over my head but yeah he is good.

senior business policy: our "capstone" class. where we put everything we learned in the past few years into one. i like the teacher, but sometimes i feel like, wait didnt i just talk about this in ALL MY OTHER CLASSES... hahah oh well... group project number 4. (huge group project by the way)

anyways, i still get mixed up and go to the wrong class rooms on the wrong days (am i really a senior? haha) but its good. my professors are really great except for like one or two which i can totally handle.

this weekend i am going to kick back and relax and get everything under control. i am excited.
next week i am having my guest parents over for dinner.
akpsi's girls bible study is starting up too this weekend, i am excited because we have alot of new girls! :)


i love fall. already. i cant wait. plus today was so beauitful. i mean i was mainly inside but its ok. i think i might go lay on a blanket a read for a minute before class... sounds good.

here are some pictures of my house... the one of the hangout room is sideways, but i just did the curtains the other day.. they look super cute! :)
until next wednesday...

back in the USA.

So weird again to jump back into the swing of life.

i really want to take a nap, i am tired and not feeling well, but what do i do instead? update my blog. lately when i ride my bike (IN TOLEDO, can you believe it!) i think of things to blog, but its not cool to stop your bike and write them down, so i just keep riding.

today this lady ran the red light and almost got hit, but decided she was going to honk the car at the other person. everyday i see crazy things happen on the road, esp not driving, its so weird to see people drive and how much they arnt paying attention. I really think phones should be outlawed. i mean i used to talk on my cell while i drove, and then i would end up at my location having no recollection of how i got there, and thats not good. BUT the people here in toledo, and probably in akron are getting better with bikers on the road because it seems to be the new trend. i dont lock my bike, and i probably should, but i am just praying that no one wants my rusty thing.


its so hot here, and i am so thankful i have AC for the week that it gets so hott in ohio. really, i am a northern girl. i cant take the heat, BUT i love the south... speaking of which we are going for fall break back to MIssissippi and i am super excited.

i take the GMAT on friday, and thats the last part of my grad school application... fingers crossed for free schoool.....

ok this was a ramble post. BUT i love my classes, and i will update about those later. i think its time for the nap i promised myself. goodnight.

PS i will post pictures of my house too. later. i promise, grandma.
