Economics for Life

This week has been an amazing week! I finished my math test in 14 minutes, (first one done in the class, who knows if that is a good thing or not... I knew everything so probably a good thing). Turned in an abstract for a labor economics research paper to the Northwest Women's Studies Association Conference, hopefully my topic relates and they will pick me to present! I started working on a media presentation of "Being an Indian Woman." I have 20 slides and each slide is one image and then I talk for 20 seconds per slide of my 'story' or my 'identity.'

I called my sister and asked her, "Bets, who am I? What do you think of when you think of me?" Every time I have to turn something in for a class, I always seem to have an identity crisis (for communications that is). Am I really that Indian Christian woman my parents wanted and raised me to be? We always laugh when I call her regarding these questions. She always knows that it is for an assignment, that's how good she is!

This week our economics study group (people I call my ECON family) has been working on studying for our final. I posted a picture of what I did today, we teach each other! This has been the best experience I have ever had with a study group. I admire every single one of them! I love that they aspire to be the best they can be! It is so encouraging to see other people value their education and want to succeed in life.

When I came home before heading to work until 11pm, I found a note written from my husband... (pic is above), how cute and sad... he knows that I am doing economics and where I am doing my homework... :) My husband and I are both students, I would not have it any other way. We both understand what is going on, how demanding schooling can be and what it takes! We encourage each other to be the best we can be! Life this week has been amazing! Thank you Jesus for a loving husband and economics!!!
