I suck...

at updating lately.

My grand total for December posts? 2. I wish I could say this is because I have a sparkling social life...but alas, I think I have just been either wrapped up with school things or driving across states. I am, after all, spending at least 62 hours in the car over my Christmas break.

I DO have some news about my business though. I have chosen to call it 'Tallyho Training Company'. For those of you who don't know, 'tallyho' is the word that my old 4-H leader taught us to use to release our dogs at the end of an exercise. It only seemed appropriate to incorporate it into something more permanent. So, good job Dad for suggesting it, and thank you to everyone else who gave their votes!

Happy New Year. And merry Christmas. I missed a couple holidays.

Back to school in three days. Then it's four uphill weeks til I am TOTALLY done with school. Forever. Help?

Help

I have to come up with a name for my business. My BUSINESS. MY business. Being that I graduate in 6 weeks and part of the graduation process is making a business plan. (was that even a complete sentence?) Anyway, I have been beating my head against the wall trying to think of a good name for a dog training business and I honestly have not thought of one thing that has stuck with me. It seems like existing dog trainers have businesses called really bland things like 'The Dog Training Company' or pretty cheesy things like 'Camp Bow Wow'. I want a name that has a deeper significance than those kinds of names but that also obviously eludes to the fact that it is a dog training business. Oh, and it has to have a logo too. So if anyone has suggestions...please let me know! I feel like I can't move forward with the assignment too well until I have a name picked.

Blehhh

I'm ready for Christmas break.
I'm burned out here.
I feel like I am going to fail all my tests (well, my dogs are).
All I need is a 1.7 GPA to graduate here. Shouldn't be hard, right? I think the biggest difficulty to me is that I care too much about what other people think about me. I let my instructors' negativity completely define my self worth. I wish I could snap out of it. Who would want them defining their self worth anyway? They're human in every sense of the word. I wonder what God thinks of me as a student dog trainer???
