(86) blaaaaahhhhhhh

Oh monday.....I think i will start off on a good note.

I had a very productive school day.

*finished a study guide-the test is tomorrow(tuesday)

*copied definitions for a test on wednesday

*read the articles for my 12:30 class

Its wonderful what can get done when i don't bring my laptop and bring my textbooks instead.

Now for what got done once i was home, or should i say what didn't get done.

*i made a late lunch

*took a nap

*woke up with a sore throat....grrrrrrr. Can i please shoot my body or at least get a new immune system

*watched tv

*spent too much time on the computer

*didn't do my study guide for CDFS 214-i have a test tomorrow

*didn't do the write up for my observation

*ate frequently...i was so munchy

As crummy as i am feeling about my lack of motivation this afternoon/evening, the good news is i still have plenty of time between classes tomorrow to study and get my assignment done. I just wish i didn't have a sore throat.

FYI: Zicam is going to be my new friend. I sure hope it works.

Little Pick Me Ups-

Things to make me feel better aside from medicine

*Only having 6 weeks, including finals, until summer.

*Remembering that i have less than 2 months until new zealand.

*Seeing pretty yellow daffodils on the mantle.

(64) Rainy Sunday

I started my morning at 7am-got dressed and had coffee then breakfast.

At 8am me, mom, and susie headed over to the antique market. We were there for less than one hour and then got rained out. We headed home with our one purchase (6 new, old dining room chairs for $75). It was nice to spend my time before work in sweatpants, cuddled in my soft fuzzy blanket, and hearing the rain outside. This extra time also allowed me to continue editing a video for a group project.

Today concluded the last day of my 4 day work week. 

It was tiring but well worth it.

Today was one of two Sundays that i have ever worked in the past four years. It was kinda weird to be there. Thankfully my manager had agreed to not keep me too late since i was doing them a favor by working. I was off by 4:30. Such a relief.

I got home and put my sweatpants back on and used the rest of the night to finish up projects.

I finished editing and posting a video and then i finished my collage (personal-gift) project.

As always the weekend went bye so fast. I am so glad this is the last week to get through before spring break.

Here's what's coming up:

monday-project presentation(video)

tuesday-work

thursday-paper due

saturday-baby shower

sunday-tuesday-palm springs

I am getting to bed early(10:30) so that i am nicely rested for tomorrow and so that i can start this week off on a good foot.

(58) Oh monday

I am semi not a failure. I got up this morning after hitting snooze over a 40 minute period. I went downstairs, poured myself a cup of coffee, and embellished my outline so that i wouldn't feel like a total failure.

Today was a normal school day.

Same old, same old.

I took the bus home and instead of going straight home i stopped at El Burrito Jr. for a late lunch.

I figured, I need to eat anyways and the cleaning ladies will be at the house so i won't be able to get food from the kitchen, so I chose to eat there. I ate a beef tamale and shredded beef soft taco. They were delicious and definitely hit the spot.

I got home in a partial food coma and pretty much remained in that state for the rest of the night. I am such a couch potato. Tomorrow i will get off my lazy butt and workout between class.

Tonight was the Bachelor finale.

There is always so much drama the last night and the "after the final rose" is always full of it too. I won't give anything away in case people haven't watched it yet. So that ends my brief bachelor comment.

I should be in bed before 11 tonight so that's good. It means more rest for a long busy day tomorrow.

(46) I'm Catching Up

I didn't end up going to sleep until 12:30am last night. This morning I got up at 6:15.

I got to school this morning and watched one tree hill online. Unfortunately the internet was being really slow, so it took forever to watch it. I went to class then finished watching the rest of it afterward. I didn't have any reading to do for my next class so i decided to watch gossip girl online. The internet was even worse at that point. I gave up for a while and took a nap.

I went to class and we watched a movie about relationships and marriages of elderly people. They talked about how they met and how things have changed after 50+ years of being together. It was so great and some of their stories made me want to cry. I have to say this was a very relaxing school day.

I got home from school and continued on my tv catch up stent. 

I finished watching teen mom 2 and took another nap.

Later on me and my dad went to CVS and i got my passport photos taken. (i already applied for my passport but i needed more photos for my documentation and id and such for my study abroad in new zealand)

We came home and got to spend time with Ethan- my cousins 2 1/2 year old son. He is absolutely adorable and so smart. 

Later i worked on my "backpack project" and was also able to get one of the components i needed for it from cvs. 

Dinner: rice, apricot chicken, broccoli, and peach pie

Watched parenthood with my parents and then me and my mom watched Americas next top model. 

(45) don't feel like it

So at this moment i really don't feel like making a day 45 post. This is mainly because it's almost midnight and all i want to do is go to sleep. Well here is what i am motivated enough to type about today.

Today was my second to last super early day of the semester.

I took a test this morning...which feels like days ago. 

i took a nap while trying to read.

found out that my fieldwork class is not going to fit into my schedule the way i had planned-instead i will probably have to take it over summer.

there was a guest speaker in one of my classes who was so entertaining- a very nice change from our usual lectures.

was home for an hour and a half (after being gone from 6:50 am to 3:30), before i had to leave for work.

then i was gone from 5-11:30pm for work.

Now i am home and grateful that i have nothing due tomorrow and no reading to finish before class. 

Sigh of relief, now going to bed

(40) Not Again

So i think i am sick yet again.

This morning my ears hurt and i just felt funny.

I was barely with it in my 9:30 class. It was hard to hold my head up. I just stared at my paper and doodled while my teacher spoke. At least i was awake enough to keep up with the notes.

I went to the lounge and couldn't keep my eyes open.

Then i went to the career development center to work on an assignment and felt so crummy.

I ate lunch and started feeling a little better.

I studied for my test that i had at two. Then went to class and felt fine. 

I came home and was feeling ok but tired.

By 5pm i was asleep on the couch. I woke up briefly off and on and didn't fully wake up until 8pm. I was having the weirdest dreams too. 

My cough started up sometime after 8. My mom looks at me and says "are you sick? You don't look very good....I mean you're cute as a bug but.." My response was a sarcastic "thanks," and then i started thinking about how bugs aren't even cute. I've never really understood that saying.

(13) ♪I Feel Good♪

9am

Woke up

It felt so good to not wake up to an alarm going off. 

I poured myself a cup of coffee and actually got to sit and enjoy it.

TV: Watched live with regis and kelly

(regis wasn't there but the radio dj Psycho Mike was co-hosting. Someone that attractive should not be on radio. Get him on a tv show. )

Todays Outfit

12:45 

walked to the bus stop

Yes, I have a friday class. Parent Education

Class started at 2. I really like the professor. Her name is Amanda Dixon. She just found out a week ago that she would be teaching this class. She is taking over for a professor (and a friend of hers) who is on maternity leave. She got her BA at CSULB in 2005 and then worked as a preschool teacher, then became a director, and then moved on to get her masters and graduated in 2009. She is married and is 4 months pregnant and is also a tv junkie (which i can easily relate to and appreciate). Im sure all of you were dying to know all of this information about my professor, so you are welcome. If you couldn't tell I'm really excited about this class. This class is all about what i want to do with my degree. I want to be a parenting coach and educator. I look forward to what this class is going to teach me.

4:45

Headed to the gym with Erin and semi met up with Eddie.

It was so amazing to workout. We spent 10 minutes on the elliptical, 15 minutes on the bikes, and I headed over to the mat and worked on the ball and erin ran on the treadmill. After about 10 minutes I had finished my abs and butt workout on the ball and moved on to the treadmill where I spent 10 minutes walking then running. We then wandered through the gym to explore all it has to offer. It was so gratifying to finally exercise, and now i feel great.

I got home around 6:30 and started cooking a healthy dinner.

This dish includes: broccoli, artichokes, Garden Burger (veggie patty), tomato basil pasta sauce, tomato basil feta cheese, shredded parmesan cheese. It was delicious.

Here is what the rest of the night held:

Glass of wine
