Back to Class and The Sound "ear"

Summer classes...this is my first time ever taking summer classes. Luckily it is also the last time I will be taking summer classes. I have officially been back to school for a week and start clinic later today. I officially have my first homework assignment due tomorrow, and projects already explained and due in a few weeks. 8 weeks is a very short time for classes and clinic. I'm almost 25% done with the semester...weird. 

I have super planned for one of my clients, including a paragraph from their last clinician. I spent last night, with the help of a friend, coming up with words with the sound "ear" or /ir/ in them. When you are limited by not being ably to use other types of /r/ sounds and of the sound /l/, a lot of words can be cut from the list. Like clear or leer. But if you need a good list of these words here they are. The first half will be words you can pair pictures with, and the last half would be more difficult for pictures or for young children. I also spent the evening putting them in sentences without the other /r/ sounds or the /l/ sound (that was hard). 

 Beard,  Ear, Deer, Tear, Steer, Pier,  Gear, Ear muffs,  Earphones, Pyramid, Cheer, Fear, Mere, Near,  Hear, Smear(ed),  Earache, Shear, Sneer, Year, We’re, Tier, Veer, Sear, Period, and Rear. 

So I also thought I would give you an update on my guy problems as I usually end up talking about guys anyways. I am currently at a standstill with B. No idea where it is going or if it will go any where. So I'm just going to let it go, and not worry about it and keep my options open. As soon as I officially made this decision about B, he started texting me everyday at some point in the day. I really don't know what to make of it. Unless he is psychic and could see what my decision was. 

Another potential guy I will be meeting, along with a few other single classmates, is a friend of my classmate A. He is coming into to town to visit her for the weekend and she invited all of us out to the bars to meet him. Her post said something along the lines that he is cute and single and there are plenty of single girls in the program he should meet. I offered to be the wing woman for one of my friends, as she is more interested in a relationship than I am at this moment. 

Although there is this other guy who I have been talking to for about 6 months or so. We met on some random chat room site and shared skype names and have been talking about our super busy lives ever since. I have no idea what he looks like as we have never video chatted or exchanged pictures. I know that I enjoy talking to him and we have a lot in common as well as a lot of different interests. The weird thing is, last night I found out he will be within an hour away from me. Its weird how close he will be, but we still haven't talked about ever meeting. Who knows if this will ever be considered as more than just an anonymous friendship. 

So one more update, guy unrelated. I found a cool running program online this morning that will help me get up to running for a half hour within four weeks. This makes me excited as I am training for a Color Run. I also want to do several other 5K races, so this will help. I miss running. I am also coupon clipping healthy food coupons to help me save money at the same time as eating well.
