Work Work Work

     Hi guys! I feel like I haven't posted in a long time but I have been SO busy this week!
     I have been teaching Primary classes at church on Sundays and have loved that! It brings me extra peace each week to spend a couple hours with some kiddos. I thoroughly miss my daycare kids and my Primary kids back at home and cannot wait to see them in just a couple weeks! I know!! Just three more weeks until I am back in Oklahoma!
Crabs!

     As we are nearing the end of this internship, the workload is increasing! Our final presentation is on August 11 and for that symposium we have to have a poster, PowerPoint presentation, and a final paper. All of these things have the same information on them so theoretically they shouldn't be very hard, but trying to format them nicely takes some time. I have been finishing my last bits of data analysis this week and started these final presentations. This "crunch time" work reminds me of midterms and finals!
     Even though we have been working hard, there are still times that you need to do something to just relax. I have been listening to and reading the last couple Harry Potter books and I love them! I am taking advantage of not having textbooks to read right now and hope to finish the last three books by the end of this summer!
     This week has not had many "fun" activities since we have all been working hard on our individual projects, but on Monday one of the families from church had me over for dinner and we ate blue crab! I figure that I cannot leave Maryland without eating crab! Although the meat was good, I do not think that it is worth the time and work of opening the crab!
   
     I am still very much enjoying my time here on the Eastern Shore and I cannot believe that I have already been here for 7 weeks.  These past two weeks have flown by and I will be back on red dirt before I know it.
     I would appreciate any prayers and good vibes as this program is coming to an end and I am preparing to present my project.
     To all of my Oklahoma friends... I hope you are surviving the heat and enjoying AC as much as possible!

Twenty - Eighteen

Happy New Year!!! Goals and I have had an interesting past. Every year I seem to make more goals than I can even keep track of and by February I am overwhelmed and discouraged. I can't even remember if I made any goals for 2017 and if I did, I certainly didn't keep them. This year, I decided that I wanted to try again with New Year resolutions, but I wanted to be smart and realistic about the goals I made. With this new mindset, I decided that I wanted to make three goals that hopefully will not overwhelm me, but rather encourage me to be a better version of myself for 2018!! My first goal is my spiritual goal for the year and that is scripture study. I haven't promised myself that I am going to read the  Book of Mormon five times or that I am going to get through the entire Bible, instead, I have decided that I just need more scripture study in my life. I need to be more diligent in reading the Book of Mormon every day and I need to study the words of modern proph...

"Kate is a DISASTER at the beach!"

     Hi guys! I had a really good weekend full of fun adventures and am so excited to tell you about them! Okay, the interns here have kind of started this thing that we like to call "Fire Fridays." Every Friday we go out to a fire pit here on campus and have a bonfire complete with smores! It is always a lot of fun. We eat, chat, sing, and dance! We weren't out too late last Friday because we had a field trip on Saturday but it was still an adventurous night! Assateague Island. Beautiful! A stamp for my family's National Park Passport.      Saturday was nice because we got to sleep in and then left for our field trip at noon. We went to Assateague Island and went seining. I really enjoyed this trip and learned a lot! If you know my father, you know that we as a family love to go to as many National Parks as we can and over the years I have developed an affinity for the parks and visitor's centers. The visitor's center at Assateague was really c...

Getting Ready!

I am so not ready to go. I leave tomorrow. I am so not ready to go. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to be in Maryland, but the whole process of getting there is stressing me out. I have never flown and I am very nervous about my full day of travel. Once I am in Maryland I hope that I will be able to clam down and enjoy the experience but first I have to get to there. Trying to pack your life in two suitcases is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Things like laundry soap and enough shampoo for over 2 months are essential items but they are also items that take up quite a bit of space in my suitcase.  If nothing else, this experience has taught me that I own too much stuff! I leave tomorrow morning at some ridiculous time (around 4am) to drive to the OKC airport. From there I fly to Dallas then to Philadelphia then to Maryland.  For a girl who has never flown I feel like I will be a pro after this trip! One funny thing that has happened as I have prepared to go is ...
