and blogging at work! I can't help it though, Sometimes you've got stuff on your mind and just gotta blog ;) hahaha
So I have to admit I started writing yesterday and I never posted it because it just didn't feel write. It was a very negative, angry blog. Although I can be loud and talkative, I still don't always know how I want to express what I'm feeling. I'm a "thinker" and dwell often on my thoughts and feelings. Poetry as become one outlet for me to express myself, through writing and reading it.
This is a poem I saw today and wanted to share:
LISTEN
When I ask you to listen to me,
And you start giving advice,
You have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen to me,
And you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way,
You are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask you to listen to me,
And you feel you have to do something to solve my problem,
You have failed me, strange as that may seem.
Listen! All I asked was that you listen,
Not talk or do – just hear me.
Advice is cheap: 10 cents will get you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham in the same newspaper.
And I can do for myself; I’m not helpless.
Maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless.
When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself,
You contribute to my fear and weakness.
But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel,
No matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you and get about the business of understanding what’s behind this irrational feeling.
And when that’s clear, the answers are obvious, and I don’t need advice.
Irrational feelings make sense when we understand what’s behind them.
Perhaps that’s why prayer works, sometimes, for some people –
Because God is mute, and He doesn’t give advice or try to fix things.
Prayers just listen and let you work it out for yourself.
So, please listen and just hear me. And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn,
And I’ll listen to you.

I love this poem. I often feel unheard, partially due to my own fault of poor explaining, however I think everyone, including myself needs to remember the gift of listening.
I can related to this poem for many many reasons, but one of those many is the fact that most people I know and love are not able to understand the stress and strain of living in a large city because they never have! I think people notice changes in me and I feel criticized when these changes are mentioned, but at the fault of them and me, the reasons for the changes have not been explained.
I am a naturally very passive and easy going person, but I cannot be my natural self at all times in this city. If you want to be a passive and easy going person in a large city you must also be willing to be stepped on and treated very poorly at times.
I am no longer allowed to be always be my natural self now, passive and easy going. I am forced to be aggressive and very vocal and let's just say it, at times a bitch in this large city. Crowds bring out the worst in people and I live in one big crowd.
So one last thing, although it is not normally in my nature to be aggressive, remember this - It is never wrong to let you voice be heard, even if you haven't normally had this quality in the past; and you never know what your actions would be when assualted with aggression and rudeness on a daily basis, faced with the fact that you must fight against who you naturally are, so that you will not be disrepected and treated as a lesser.

Not the best of days..
So today was not my best day.
Today is my late day at work, so I go in around 10-10:30 and leave about 6. I decided to use this morning to get some of my stats homework done at school before I went into work. I have to use the computers at school because I don't have the software on my computer because it's sooo expensive.
So this morning I woke up late of course. I didnt' get out of the house until like 9:20! But I really wanted to get my hw done...so I decided to still go to school.
Now starts the list of things gone wrong today.
Number 1, I left my coffee on the counter at home. Now this sounds stupid but I have gotten to the point where I have to have coffee in the morning. I'm trying to safe money right now so I had to live without coffee, which annoyed me.
Number 2, it was raining today so traffic is ALWAYS bad when it's raining. So it took longer to get to school than normal, so this added to my lateness.
Number 3, Due to crappy weather more people drive to school and take up the "close" parking lot, so by the time I got to school it was full. I had to park in the parking lot that is about as far as you can get from the computer lab.
Number 4, I get to the computer lab and realize I don't have the information I need to do my homework! Biggest annoyance of the day by far. I was more than annoyed. I was pissed!! At this point it was also 10:20, which meant there was no way in hell I was going to be to work by 10:30 even.
Number 5, As I'm leaving the computer lab to bust my butt to work it begins to pour. Now when I say pour I mean it was like damn torrential rains! I was SOAKED. My hair looked like I had just gotten out of the shower by the time I got to my car.
Now of course because I'm running so insanely late already, I couldn't go back home and change. So I had to go to work complete soaked, hair, shoes, pants everything.
Number 6, I get to work at almost 11am, and what does that mean...I have to stay at work until 7pm! It gets dark here by about 4:30-5 now, so to stay at work until 7pm feels like it's 10pm at night!
This is not the way to start a day friends. My day at work was fairly uneventful thiank God considering my morning.

GO OBAMA!
Hey all!
So I know not everyone that reads this will be thrilled with the turnout of yesterday's election but I am very excited! :)
I hope everyone voted yesterday! No matter what, it was an historic election that everyone should have been a part of!
It was super easy for me to vote...much easier than I thought it would be. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I had to do a paper ballot due to my address change being so close to election day but that's okay, I still got my vote in!
My week has been very interesting so far. On Monday I had to go meet with the head of the Sociology Dept, Dr Esposito, at school to discuss my plan for the remaining time of my masters. Going into the meeting I really thought that we would discuss my classes and how I could start some independent research. I thought that I would drop down to 2 classes a semester so that I would graduate in Spring 2010 and starting in the fall of 2009 I would start independent research.
Gosh if I had only known what Dr Esposito had in mind for me....
Dr Esposito pretty much told me that if I don't become more involved in the department I'm not going to get into the PhD programs that I want to apply to. Most of the schools that I am applying to are in the list of top 25 programs in the nation. They will be VERY hard to get into, so if I really want to get into one of them I have to do a lot more than I'm doing right now.
So pretty much what she told me I need to do is stop working, take a graduate assistantship starting in January working closely with a professor, in the fall of 2009 try to get a job doing research, retake my GREs, take a class to do better on my GREs, take a full course load (4 classes) and do everything I can to become fully immersed in the department. I won't be able to do independent research due to the fact that I don't have enough, well really any, experience doing research. She said I won't be approved by the department.
So pretty much I left the meeting realizing that I will have to make some major changes to get into a good program.
I didn't start this masters to just waste it. I started this masters, and I'm going into debt because of this masters, so that I can get into a good PhD program.
I have to do whatever it takes to get into a program.
So needless to say my life is going to change come January. I will become a full time student again. I will be working as an assistant to a professor and no longer working full time. I'll be finding a part time job to get by. I won't have to pay for school any longer because grad assistants get a tuition waiver. The loans that I would normally get to pay for classes I will be living on.
Although I'm nervous about having a new apartment and making the decision to stop working, I know this is what I need to do.
Okay time for tv and homemade hot chocolate :)

It may be illegal to drive while eating a donut.....
Hey All!
I'm sitting in my apartment finally feeling like it's starting to look like home!
As many of you know we have not had any furniture and it's been tough trying to see this apartment as home due to it being very empty. My boss gave us a great love seat this weekend that fits perfectly in our living room and along with a seat from my sister and Reena's brother our living room is usable now!!
I am also beginning to cook for the first time really. In Bloomington I never really took the time to cook and now I'm really excited and eager. I made chicken a la king tonight. It's a pretty easy meal (a gravy with chicken, green pepper and mushroom with chicken over mashed potatoes) but Reena said it was VERY good :) I was proud my first attempt came out well.
The end of my week was busy and eventful at work so it was nice to have a weekend to organize the apartment a little more and just spend some time here. This is the first Sunday I feel like I have fully spent here!
I can't even begin to tell you all the events from the end of my week...but here are a few events.
On Saturday I finally got my oil changed. I desperately needed to get this done, I just hadn't taken the time or wanted to pay for it. While I was trying to pay for my oil change, I could sense a group of people staring at me. Finally a little girl says to me "Are you on TV?". I just laughed in her face. It was probably not the right reaction but I was just kind of like "what"!?!?!". I realized it was a family standing there and the mother was like, "You look so familiar, we're trying to figure out who you look like". Then the guy behind the counter thinks he needs to chime in and says "yeah you do look like somebody on TV, I just don't know who". All I could think was, "Yeah you don't know who because I don't look like ANYONE on TV!!!" It was kinda sweet though...I think.
I also got pulled over today :) I went to Staten Island last night and when I was leaving to come back to Queens this morning I realized the bridge I take to get off Staten Island was closed for the NYC marathon. Now I can't really explain to anyone the route I had to take to get to Queens, because no one will understand what I mean, but just know that I had to drive through Manhattan. Now normally I would NOT drive though the city because it is hell most of the time, but on a Sunday morning it's perfectly fine, well in terms of NYC driving! :) So I'm driving through the city on 42nd St, listening to my cheesy folk music and eating a donut, when a cop comes running up to my car screaming "Ma'am pull over to the right, pull over to the right!". Now I'm sitting at a light as he's screaming this at me, so I knew I didn't run a red light and I wasn't speeding. I honestly thought he was going to maybe yell at me for eating my donut!! So I pull over, roll down my window and the cop says "Ma'am do you know that in the state of New York it's illegal to not wear a seat belt.". Now picture me with my jaw dropped and just staring at the cop like "Are you crazy". I had my seat belt on! I always drive with it on, however, I don't always have the top part of the seat belt across my chest because it cuts across my neck and really starts to annoy me. So after looking at the cop like he's crazy, I say "I do have it on! See!" and I pull at the seat belt across my waist. Luckily, he backs up and reluctantly says, okay your good to go. But as I pull away with my heart racing I put the top part over my chest and made a mental note that I'm going to have to buy one of those cushiony things that stubby people like me need. I was also relieved he didn't make a comment about my donut :)
Although I could give other stories from the last few days I better go to bed. Reena and I spent from about 10am-6pm today organizing, cleaning, grocery shopping etc and so I'm beat.
Night All

Hey All,
So I've had an insanely busy last couple days and I'm finally getting a chance to breath tonight.
Over the weekend I went to see Rach in upstate. It was nice to get away from the madness of the city and just relax. We originally had plans to go to Canada on Saturday but due to our own tiredness and rainy weather we decided to postpone Canada.
On Saturday we ended up getting some laundry done and buying groceries and that's it! Hhahaha Honestly though it was great to just get some things done and hang out at the house. Sunday we visited the Burrville Cider Mill and had an early dinner with a few of the other army wives that Rach is friends with. It was a relaxing but short weekend.
I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked while there but here are a few recent pics of Sophie and Issac!
After my relaxing weekend I came back to the city to a very stressful Monday. I got back to Queens at about 11:00pm. By the time I got all my stuff in the apartment and took a quick shower it was 11:30. I had a short convo with Ali, stayed up and chatted (why does that not sound right??) with Reena for a while and finally went to bed around midnight.
I had to be up by 6:45 to get my butt to work at 8...and of course I was 15 minutes late. Work was insane because I was the only case manager there out of 4!!! So everyone's clients came to me because their cm wasn't there!!! Then I had to rush from work to get to class at 4:40, of course late again, and had 2 classes until 8:50. At my second class, statistics, I got good and bad news. The good news was that I got a 92% on my statistics test...the bad news, in one of my other classes, contemporary theory, I found out a paper that I thought needed to be 3-4 pages actually needs to be 10-15 pages!! AHHHH
I'm beyond annoyed with my theory class. To attempt be as PC as possible, lets just say my professor's teaching style does not work well for me :). Theory is the hardest course you can take in any subject because it's the foundation of any subject and to have a teacher who's "teaching style" doesn't work well with you makes it VERY difficult. I ranted to my mom's voicemail last night about this 10page paper discovery so I'll save you all from a long spew about this :)
Today, Tuesday, wasn't such a bad day because thank the lord, all case managers were at work today. It was a very cold, rainy day though and I'm not looking forward to the short days that come with winter. I'm going to miss the beautiful colors of fall but I guess I would't appreciate fall so much if I didn't have the winter.
I better go and make some dinner. I'm excited to finally have some control over my dinners and to get some good ol' Amurican food ;)
Love
Sarah

I'm BACK!!!
Hello my very loved friends and fam,
I know...don't say it...it's been about 2 months. I know I've been absent but the past 2 months have been filled with pain, challenge and growth.
I assumed when I began this blog that it would be a way for me to express my thoughts and feelings, however in the last 2 months the idea of putting my experience out there for all the world to read and know what a bit too overwhelming. I know this blog will only cause even more curiosity, and all I can say is over time you will receive enough pieces of the story to eventually fully understand. I have one gift that I request right now - TIME. Time to process my experience and develop strength from it. Time to reveal my story when I feel its best suited, not just for the sake of your curiosity.
God gives us all challenges in life. God chooses different points in our lives to experience growth spurts, and he has chosen this time for me. God has things he wants me to learn that will enable me to live me best life. The image I have of myself is not what God wants. My self image needs some work, and God has chosen now to do some work.
I know my decisions my not make sense or be at the pace that some of you may want them. I know all of the concern and questions come from love.
I'm glad I've gotten back to a point where I feel I can begin sharing again...so stayed tuned :)
I'm heading to my sister's this weekend in upstate NY and I plan to update you all on Sunday.
I love you all and thanks for your support!

It's been a while
Hey all,
So I know it's been a good week without an update but it's been one of my busiest weeks in a long time!! This last weekend me and Ali went home to Indiana for just a couple of days. This weekend was the blueberry festival in Plymouth, one of my favorite festivals EVER. Believe it or not I didn't take any pictures though! I tried to take a few at one point but my camera wasn't cooperating and the pictures were horrible.
When I can back to NY I flew Tuesday morning at 6am and got to work at 10....and worked the whole day! Ali actually stayed in Indiana for a few extra days and I just picked him up from the airport last night.
Thank goodness today is Friday too because although this week was only 4 days it was absolute madness and needed to end. Every day something chaotic had to happen and today topped it all off for me. This is the first day I was actually in a bad mood while at work. From the minutes I got to work til the minute I left I was being bombarded with things to do and many of them were unplanned.
Due to the amount of business of this week there's wayyyy to much that happened to share it all...so my goal is to get back to doing it practically every day to keep you all posted. Right now I'm actually getting sick due to streep throat going through my facility :( Towards the end of my day my throat really started to hurt and it's only gotten worse...so I'm praying that being home this weekend and out of the facility away from the sickness might help me fight it off and it won't get full blown!! So I'm actually heading to bed all...I don't have any energy :(
Love
Sar

I tried to take a few at one point but my camera wasn't cooperating and the pictures were horrible.
When I can back to NY I flew Tuesday morning at 6am and got to work at 10....and worked the whole day! Ali actually stayed in Indiana for a few extra days and I just picked him up from the airport last night.
Thank goodness today is Friday too because although this week was only 4 days it was absolute madness and needed to end. Every day something chaotic had to happen and today topped it all off for me. This is the first day I was actually in a bad mood while at work. From the minutes I got to work til the minute I left I was being bombarded with things to do and many of them were unplanned.
Due to the amount of business of this week there's wayyyy to much that happened to share it all...so my goal is to get back to doing it practically every day to keep you all posted. Right now I'm actually getting sick due to streep throat going through my facility :( Towards the end of my day my throat really started to hurt and it's only gotten worse...so I'm praying that being home this weekend and out of the facility away from the sickness might help me fight it off and it won't get full blown!! So I'm actually heading to bed all...I don't have any energy :(
Love
