Reunited with my best friend

Finally, after so many seconds, hours, days, and months apart my best friend and I are finally reunited. I was hoping for an earlier reunion but I could not get my garage door open because it was frozen shut. What? Don't you keep your best friend locked up in your garage over the winter? Well, Sunday, it finally had warmed up enough and I was able to get my bike out of storage and begin riding to school. I was so happy today riding to school with my best friend.

Tour of the University of Wyoming

I thought I would give you a little taste of the buildings that I call home here at UW. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday I work at the University Disability Support Services. I have about 64 students on my case load and I help students with disabilities received accommodations they need to be successful in college. I also am advocate when they need me. Not all the students use the services but I have kept pretty busy this semester.

This is Knight Hall where I work. Also in this building are the registrar's office, financial aid, and other student affairs offices.

This is the first time in my life that I have an office. Although in a few weeks I am getting a new office...a CORNER office. It is in the corner in the basement. I currently work in the basement and I am just moving down the hall.

This is the Education Annex where I have all my classes but one.

My department is part of the education department so I also spend a fair amount of time in this building. Our counseling clinic is in the basement so I see clients here from 2-6 every Thursday. Also in this building there is a k-9 school called the LAB school. Many of the students that attend this school have parents that work on campus.

Here is Jamie in the observation room where we watch each other "Therapize". Jamie kept telling us she wanted a leopard print snuggie and since she didn't get one for Christmas, we bought her one for her birthday.

I know this picture didn't turn out well but imagine green grass. This is the middle of campus and is called Praxy's Pasture and it is literally still a pasture. Although, I have yet to see cows grazing. But UW can say they have a pasture in the middle of campus.

Communicating at the counseling level

One of my graduate classmates told the rest of the class that she likes to communicate orally with other people. Now that is a new concept.
