These last few weeks have been very busy. I had a gut feeling that I should go back to school. So, three weeks before school started I went and talked with an advisor in the Masters Program of Family and Human Development and asked what I should do to prepare for a Masters. She told me to take 9 credits of pre-reqs, take the MAT and apply to grad school by November 1st. So, here I am working well over 40 hours a week, taking a full-time load of school, and recruiting on top of it. For those of you who don't know, I was promoted to a Recruitment Specialist in my college. I recruit students to the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences with the Admissions office. It is lots of fun, but very time consuming. It has been really hard trying to get back into the homework mode, but I am doing great.
This past weekend, I was able to work Friday night and Saturday to help with Aggie Care night and Family Day on the Quad. We helped children make butterflies, paper masks, and music shakers. It was lots of fun, and after I went to the USU vs. U of U football game, which USU LOST! Imagine that. It was still fun to go to the game though, being surrounded by U fans was great!
This morning I woke up early and didn't feel so great. So, I decided to sleep longer and not go to church. Around 10:00 I felt a little better and decided to shower and go to Sacrament Meeting. I hurried really fast and was ready in 30 minutes (which is really fast for me). I grabbed my sandals and ran out the door to make it on time for Sacrament. I walked in the door with my friend and had to walk in front and around people just to find a seat. I sat next to the Relief Society President and decided to cross my legs when I noticed...I was wearing one brown sandal and one black sandal. Two completely different sandals. I was horribly embarrased and just laughed with my friend about it. After I found out, I wouldn't even wear my sandals at church! When church ended, I didn't know what to do but just sit there. My cute friend walked with me and we cut to the back door and left with no one seeing the shoes I picked.
I never thought I would grab two different pairs of shoes and not even realize that they don't fit the same!!! It was a good laugh, and also cry! I was mortified, and didn't feel good. I think everything started to build up and I lost it. Thank goodness for great friends!
The moral of my story is, even if you are in a hurry, make sure you look at your shoes before you leave the house!

I can just picture it and your reaction. That is pretty funny. I like your shoes.
that is the best story ever! I hope you are feeling better!
how funny! Something I would totally do. I have bright pink crocs that I wear to water the garden, take out the trash, etc... and have gotten in the car to go to church with them on twice now, fortunately Tom has pointed out my mistake before we left the driveway!
Oh Amanda . . . I know how you feel! If it makes you feel better, I walked across campus with my dress bunched up under my backpack and was flashing my garments while saying hi to people. Someone finally told me. Take care and try not to get too stressed! Call if you need anything or want to play.
I love this story!! You are so cute!
What amazing friends you have to help you jet to the door!!!! I love both of your shoes! I have the same pair of the brown ones..mine are just in black! Hope you feel better!
Amanda, I think that you are sooo awesome to go back to school. It is seriously MY DREAM to go back to school so I can be a therapist. It makes it really hard to do those things once you have children, so I say do it while you have the chance!! That is so funny about your shoes, I can picture you right when you noticed......priceless!!
THat is funny.. I had a school teacher do that once, but to her embarrassment, she had to wear them all day and have elementary kids laughing at her! Congrats on going back to school, sounds like hard work, but it will be worth it in the ends.
I'm so glad that you finally figured out what to do. I bet it's really exciting! Let me know how things go.
