(116 & 117) Blogger Fail

It wasn't my fault a post didn't happen yesterday.

I went to work on the day 116 post and i saw this:

yah..not cool blogger...you failed

Moving on from this...

Day 116: Thursday

UMMMM....I didn't go to bed until 4:50 am

my stomach was upset, my allergies had gone crazy, and i had dr. pepper late at night

This combination did me in

I watched some movies and explored the internet for hours

Eventually I gave up and went downstairs and slept on the couch

(me and my allergies don't get along when im in my room)

I woke up at 8:20 am. wow 3.5 hours of sleep. Is that a new personal record for a school day?

I poured myself a cup of coffee, grabbed my laptop, and a stack of textbooks and headed next door to work on my take home exam.

i went back home around 11am

I left for class at 12:40

in class i did my presentation

i was so out of it for all the other peoples

and mine was a blur

i got home at 4pm

took a brief nap

at 5:30 i went back to school for my new zealand meeting.

i got back home at 8:30

had a glass of wine and ate vegetarian lasagna 

(i have no idea how long it had been in the freezer)

It was ok, not the greatest, it served its purpose of filling my hungry stomach

watched tv

went to bed 

(95) Momentarily Blurred

Now that it is getting close to midnight i am having trouble remembering what happened today.

Right now all i can think about is how tired, exhausted, achey, stressed, and over work and school I am.

Im going to put my thinking cap on.

Or maybe i will sit like winnie the pooh "think...think think...think...oh bother"

It may have worked.

I got to school and spent my hour before class looking over and setting up a computer assignment.

Basically i located and saved all of the articles that i have to summarize.

I spent the rest of my time watching one tree hill online. 

While the video was buffering i skimmed the articles.

I went to class at 9:20 and was done around 10:20.

I went back to the lounge and attempted to work on the computer assignment. I quickly gave up and ended up listening to music and reading blogs.

I walked over to dr. medoras office hoping she was there so that i could pick up some fundraiser candy, but she wasn't there.

I walked back to the lounge and ate pretzels and 2 tangerines (aka lunch). 

I read part of an article that was for my 12:30 class and then couldn't keep my eyes open.

I took a 15 minute nap and then went to class.

After class i walked back to dr medoras office hoping to catch her at the tail end of office hours, but once again she was not there.

I caught the bus and headed home.

As soon as i got home i cooked some food. I was so hungry, my lunch was not filling.

I ate what i cooked and watched glee, then parenthood.

At 4pm i got ready for work and i left at 4:15.

I was at work from 4:45-10:30

My shift started off good, but then it got really busy, little things kept happening and getting messed up.

At some point i was so behind, so frustrated, so overwhelmed. I snapped. All i wanted to do was relieve the stress and scream instead, i stood by the soda machine with my mouth shut and tears rolling down my face. I am so tired of my emotions building up and bursting at inconvenient times.

I was able to get a glass of water and go to the back and take big gulps of water and take deep breaths.

I reminded myself that everything was fine. I got back out on the floor and continued my shift fairly smooth after that.

But believe me i was so over my night of work.

Let me just say, sometimes it sucks being a waitress, and tonight was just one of those nights.

Well now that i have remembered today and expressed just how awful work was, i think i will go to sleep now. Last nights 5 hours was not enough.

Tomorrow is another day. I am so grateful for that. A fresh start, different experiences, better emotions, different outlook, one day closer to the weekend.

(24) Yet another Jam packed day

It was another early morning(5am) with not a lot of sleep(less than 5hrs)

I had class at 8am

then had class at 9:30.

After class i went to taco bell and grabbed some food.

Then i sat in the booth and fell asleep.

I realized it wasn't a very comfortable place to sleep so i moved to the student union lounge. I attempted to read for class my next class but my eyes wouldn't stay open. I took a 25 minute nap. It was wonderful.

I realized i wouldn't be very productive just sitting somewhere. I headed over to the fcs building and turned in my fundraising money. Dr. Medora was overjoyed with how much had been raised. She sent me on my way with a box of lollypops and chocolate bars to sell.

I sat around in the fcs building, trying to stay awake,  until my 2pm class started.

Mom picked me up from school and we picked up food at Rascals.

I ate and watched part of monday nights episode of the Bachelor.

I got ready for work.

Worked from 5:30-10ish

Got home and watched Glee!!!!

purchased music 

(10) A long day

5:30am

Seriously!?!?

I woke up at 5:30. This is way too early. Life should not exist at this time. 

I managed to pull myself out of bed and function enough to get dressed and make it downstairs.

The usual morning pre school routine happened.

6:50am

(I am so happy that the sun comes up just in time for me to go outside.) I left the house and walked to the bus stop.

I got to school around 7:20 and had 40 minutes which gave me plenty of time to get to class and get settled in.

Class let out at 9:15. I rushed to the other side of campus and made it to my 9:30 class with 5 minutes to spare. 

That class only lasted for about 20 minutes.
This left me with nearly 4 hours before my next class started.
I used my spare time to:
-view my academic progress through walk in advising
-eat lunch
-catch up on reading blogs
-catch up with Kathryn (who found me in the fcs building)
-work on part of this blog post
Luckily the time went bye fairly quick.
My next class started at 2pm. We were out of class by 2:15.
My mom was able to pick me up on the way home, which meant I didn't have to stand around and wait for the bus!!!! We picked up rascals and were home around 2:50.
I ate some food, turned on Greys anatomy, and then took a much needed nap. Around 4pm i started getting ready for work.
I worked from 5:30-10:40. It was a decent shift. Nothing too out of the ordinary or extraordinary happened. I was so happy to get home. My body was exhausted.

What i realized today:
Tuesdays are going to be really long, tiring days, but I can handle it since it will only be for 6 more weeks.

(8) Sleep, I need you

What a morning. 
After work last night I couldn't fall asleep.I ended up watching 3 episodes of Grey's Anatomy and then watched Anjelah Johnson: That's How We Do It, on netflix. I didn't end up falling asleep until 4am (i believe that's a first for me). My alarm went off at 7:30 this morning. I hit snooze but never fully fell back asleep. I got up and had a cup of coffee and then sat on my parents bed and zoned out for about 45 minutes. Eventually I got up and got ready for church.

Church (9:30-12:15)
I was really amazed at how awake I was today. (and i'm not just being sarcastic. I didn't even yawn at all) I was attentive and able to absorb so much (both during college group and big church). Aside from major body aches and cramps it was so wonderful to be there today.
Lunch
After church, a group of us went to Costco. I got a slice of pepperoni pizza(which was covered in grease-i used about 7 napkins to sop it up) and a berry smoothie. Delicious!   

3:20-4:10

Nap Time

I'm glad i didn't sleep for too long. I have to be able to fall asleep at a decent time cause school starts tomorrow= no sleeping in. GAHHHHH

4ish

Watched Enchanted (it was on TV when I woke up- mom had turned it on while i was napping)

5pm

Worked on another etsy treasury

For your viewing pleasure

6ish

I started gathering my stuff for school. I printed out the syllabi for my classes, grabbed a binder and a notebook, and started filling up my backpack. I am excited for my classes this semester, but I dread getting back into the swing of things (including: riding the bus, waking up early, doing homework, writing papers, and being on campus 5 days a week).

7ish

Ate dinner (apricot chicken, broccoli, rice) and packed my lunch for tomorrow.

Goal of the night

Get to bed early so that I'm not a moody zombie in the morning or at school. (This shouldn't be too hard to fulfill since I'm wiped)
