I went to Des Moines on Tuesday for my TQP meeting and that went just fine. I got a chance to meet the others in my cohort, ask questions and get some free stuff. I signed up to get a free laptop! I know everyone is totally jealous. Also, I found out that I will probably be able to stay at my job at the Drake Adult Literacy Center because even though I have the scholarship I was eligible or Federal money beforehand. They're going to do some research and get back to me on that. Then, Corie, Cammeo and I went to Cabaret to celebrate my birthday. We karaoke-d to Pour Some Sugar on Me. It was a really good night. Next morning I had breakfast with Grant, my haircut-which I'm not totally happy with, and then lunch and a little shopping with my girls again before I headed back out to Chicago. I didn't get a chance to hang out with Erin b/c of the limited time, but I will be back in Des Moines at the end of June! There is way too much construction going on EVERYWHERE...and by everywhere meaning the exits that I always needed to take, so I ended up spending 45 minutes in detours both going to Drake and coming back home. The traffic was ridiculous because of the amount of trucks on the road, but I made it there and back almost safely. I had a few instances where trucks were tailgating me! (and I drive fairly speedy), side-swiped me, and cut me off. I'm thinking they thought they had enough space b/c I know they saw me. One time, I was surrounded by trucks, so I was a Sonal-sandwich, and the truck tried to get into the space I was occupying. Talk about a terrifying experience...especially b/c I am terrified driving next to trucks.
Now for the fantastic news! I'm going to Denver on Sunday! I finally get to see Greg and hopefully he'll have a speedy treatment and recovery :)
I'm a bit scared of flying b/c last time I did it I was nine and my family was with me so I had nothing to worry about. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and where I'm supposed to go. I'll figure it out though...I always do! I can't wait to be in Denver to see Greg! YaY!
Time to bake some brownies! Hope for the best, everyone :)

About Me
- Sonal
- Hey! I'm Sonal and I just graduated from Drake this May with a Bachelors of Science in Education. I am currently living in Des Moines for the summer because come August I will be a 6th grade teacher at Goodrell Middle School for math and geography. On my down I love to work on my crafts, watch movies, go shopping, write letters to friends and family and sleep. Naps are an essential part of my daily life and I usually can't function to my fullest potential without them. I work as a nanny for a few families in the Des Moines area and work at a country club for the summer. I'm basically living my life one day at a time in hopes for success and prosperity in whatever I do!
