The summer starts here.

Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! Regarding my last blog, I did not attend the Multicultural club pot luck as planned. It turned out the time was just not right for me and, as it was, only a few of us from Beaver Dam joined. From what I heard, it was fun.

I have been very busy as I usually am this time of year. My kids go to their dad’s every summer. It is a bittersweet time of the year for me. My ex-husband is a Marine and is currently stationed down south. He and the kids are extremely excited to see each other, but it is a hard time for me to have them gone. It seems when I want to take them to the beach or tuck them in at night is the most difficult times for me to deal with their absence. I am happy they get to see their dad though, and I wish we could all live closer for their benefit. This is the time of year I start gathering papers for them to work on to better their experience for the next scholastic year. It is hot down where they stay, so I know they will have a lot of down time to complete it. After they leave, I go through all of their toys and “get rid of” the toys I know they did not play with this last year or toys they have outgrown. I also overhaul their rooms and deep clean them. That part always makes me miss them, but I know they will be very happy to come back home at the end of August to clean rooms.

I start summer school on the 22nd of June and until then I have time to catch up on house hold things I have been neglecting to put 100% into while I have been in classes since January. I have also placed an ad to babysit this summer part time, since I won’t have my own kids and only am taking two classes online.

As the summer winds-down and fall creeps in, you will be seeing more of the Scribbler. As for the summer, I will only be blogging a bit here and there.

Have fun in the sun. Be safe and happy!

Make it a great one,

The End of the School Year

Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler.

I am stumped. I don’t have much to say. It is the end of the semester and I have some time off before summer school starts so that will be nice. I am a bit burnt out from all of my hard work put in.

I went to a cottage up toward Eagle River this last weekend and had such a great time I did not want to go back. I think I need to move my family up there! Actually, I did want to come back home. I missed my husband and kids. Sunday morning I woke up to my back going out. Nice way to end the weekend. It worked out okay, but I am still hurting even today.
On Thursday I will be taking a trip to the Fond du Lac campus for a potluck for all three multicultural clubs. That should be fun! Check back later to read about the multicultural club potluck. I will let you know all about that!

Make it a great one!

SUCCESS!



Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! This week has been busy for us Moraine Park Technical College students while we wrap up the semester. WHOOT!!!

On Friday the Student Senate had an awards dinner in Lomira. Semi-formal dinner to recognize excellence and time volunteered. It was so much fun and such a great way to celebrate the hard work we all do for ourselves and Moraine Park! There were hundreds of students there and some of their friends and family came for support.

Getting on that stage made me feel so proud and I felt such a satisfaction with myself. One of the neat things about that is all I had to do was do my best and offer my time. How about that!?

I have my last test in math next week and if I pass it that will be my last math class FOREVER! Kudos to me for pulling through and working so hard to complete and learn the assignments! And, an even bigger kudos to my math teacher for helping me achieve my goals. Way to go!

Off to work on more homework... I have attached some pics!

Make it a great one,
Kirsten
