Here comes the winter storm!

We are expecting a winter storm from noon until 6 a.m. tomorrow. If we stay above freezing, it might not be so bad. That's what I'm hoping. I still feel sick and now, I'm having stomach cramps and nausea. I feel miserable and can't wait until this passes. I just want to get back to my life. I am working on projects for my work while at home and I completed my assignments for class early. I want to keep my average up so as to obtain scholarships. On a happy note, in one month is Spring Break! My cousin Leesa and I are going to be in Eureka Springs for most of the week. We are staying at a Best Western. On the way back, we are visiting Grove, Oklahoma for the day. Next month is going to be a busy month. On March 9-10, I am volunteering at the Big 12 conference at the BOK Center. I am truly excited to put this experience on my resume. On the 15th, I am going on a bus tour sponsored by Tulsa Community College to see the Mother Road. We will have Michael Wallis, the voic...

Why going back to work was the best thing I could have done

I was a stay at home wife and furmom for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it, but it got to where I needed more. I needed challenges and interaction from other people. I went back to college at Tulsa Community College last fall and aced my class. I applied and started working at The TCC Connection in December 17th. It has been a great experience for me and I'm loving meeting new people. I love the interaction with my coworkers and the camaradie. I also enjoy being involved in campus activities and being a part of the campus activities board. But mostly, I've enjoyed being a part of a community again. I enjoy being busy and having exciting new challenges everyday. It's days like today where I am at home ill that makes me appreciate my new life. I enjoyed my old life, but I have a great new one and I couldn't be happier.

Sick day

I'm home sick for a couple of days. I've had chills, cramps (that time is coming), coughing, sneezing, and sinus headache. Basically, I feel like hell. My boss told me to stay home until I'm better, so I'm working from home. I finished all my assignments well ahead of time and am doing well in my classes. So I've earned a day or two off. I'm going to try to be back in Wednesday, but we'll see how I feel. Just a blah day.....

Busy, busy, busy!

Things have been so busy around here! I am still working at The TCC Connection and am also volunteering with Campus Activities Board. We are working to get some spring activities around campus. I am applying for various internships and scholarships. I will not close any opportunity and am keeping my options open. Thursday afternoon, I am going for an interview for a part time weekend job to help out with expenses. I am going to volunteer at the Big 12 wrestling championship tournament in March and then go on a day trip with fellow honors students to see the Mother Road in Oklahoma. It has been a busy time and it is only getting busier. I am working hard in my classes to earn the best grades I can. I'm going to try to take as many honors classes as I can so I can graduate as an honors scholar. Gabrielle Farringer Business Manager TCC Connection
