(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

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

(88) Highlights:Test Win, Bus Fail

i woke up this morning feeling much better than i did yesterday...still not great.

i had coffee and tried to enjoy my morning at home before going to school and facing another test.

The hour before class was spent re-reading my notes and skimming through the book.

The test was a combination of 40 true/false and multiple choice questions and 5 written response questions. It was so easy. There were only 2 maybe three multiple choice questions i wasn't quite sure about.

I was able to answer the written questions easily. Test Win.

After the test was over me and my classmate went to coffee bean and tea leaf to get something to drink. We sat outside for almost an hour and chatted about classes, the test, life, summer...so nice to chat with a friend.

I had class from 12:30 to 1:45 and then rode the bus home.

I chose not to listen to music on the ride. I enjoy listening to peoples conversations. I know its eavesdropping but i don't care. 

My stop finally arrived. I went to stand up and grabbed my backpack, but it didn't move very far. The strap was stuck in between the seats. I kept pulling at it but it wouldn't budge. There were several people watching me struggle. Everyone who had to get off at this stop had already exited the bus and the doors had shut. Someone sitting nearby yelled for the bus driver to "hold up" as he was slowly starting to continue the route. One of the people nearby was able to get my strap out from between the seat. Apparently my muscles weren't good enough to do it. I was able to make it off the bus before the driver had pulled away from the stop. The sad part is that this isn't the first time my backpacks strap has got stuck. This has actually happened multiple times. It was the first time its ever held me up or made it to where i couldn't get it out on my own. Bus Fail.

I got home around 2:20 and had a bite to eat, drank some emergen-c and caught up on youtube videos.

I worked from 4:30 to 9:30 tonight. I was so happy to be off at a reasonable hour. 

Since its just after 10, i think i will try to get a good 7 hours of sleep so that i can try and fight this cold off.  

(83) Productive friday

Today i was planning to observe at the preschool on campus. I got there early so i grabbed something to eat and hung out in the lounge until 9am.

I went to the building and found out the center was having an open house. No kids were there to observe. FAIL. So i waited around until 10am when class was going to start. I went to the earlier class instead of going at 2pm.

I got out of class at 12 and went to the gym for 30 minutes.

around 1 mom came and picked me up on her way home from work. Instead of going straight home i decided it would be a good idea to run some errands.

I went to the credit union and closed my account-i didn't use it anymore.

me and mom went to lunch and i got to enjoy a slice of strawberry pie-my favorite.

We stopped by the house so that i could pick up money to be deposited.

We went to the bank and i ended up depositing over $4,000. I've been holding out on myself.

around 4 i laid down on the couch and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until 7:30. Clearly its been an exhausting week. 

At 8pm the whole family gathered up baskets of dirty laundry and went to the laundromat.

We ended up using 10 washers and 3 huge dryers to get the laundry done. We finished around 9:45- all of the laundry was folded and in baskets for each person. 

I spent the rest of the night hanging out with my parents and Velcro.

I ended my night by YouTubing new zealand videos and watching ones on the different places im going and activities i will get to do.

(78) Ashamed

I am so horrible. I still didn't get much today. I did work on homework though. I didn't complete anything.

Worst student ever.....probably not....worst student i've ever been....definitely

I did however enjoy the time i didn't spend doing school stuff.

I didn't wake up until 9:45-guess im not going to church.

i went downstairs and was surprised to see that my parents weren't ready for church.

Mom cooked breakfast...so good.

I did a little bit of homework.

I ran errands with my parents.

did a little bit more homework.

dilly dallied on the computer-distracted myself from what i needed to be doing.

Played with velcro-the cat-not the adhesive.

ate dinner and watched the ACM's -i sure love country music.

FYI: i am dreading going back to school tomorrow. Can't it just be mid may already. June 7th would be even better, but i'm trying not to push it.

What to expect in this weeks blog posts:

complaining about...

...school

...stress

...projects

...papers

...being tired

...work

and im sure i will come up with some others.

Prepare yourself for a depressing week to come. My apologies in advance...It's just a part of my life-the good the bad and the annoying.

(77) Can i press the skip button?

I slept in again this morning. Somehow the days i sleep in are my least productive. Isn't sleep supposed to leave you refreshed, energized, and ready to start the day. Today it left me lazy and lethargic. 

I sat down in "my chair" and sipped on my cup of coffee and worked on a couple of blog posts. 

I first wrote day 76 of this blog and then i moved on to one for welcome to my closet. It was about clothes that i would buy for spring, if i could. That took up quite a bit of time. Also during that time i got sucked into a project runway marathon. Too dangerous-there went hours of time.

Once again, no homework got worked on today. WHAT is wrong with me????

I know that it has to get done and that i won't have much time during the week. I work on tuesday and wednesday and I have something due everyday from tuesday to friday. I'm doomed.

I left for work at 3:30 and got home around 11.

There went my day.

So tomorrow, papers will be written, research will be done, assignments will be started, and other(s) will be finished. 

Can it just be friday evening already. Then all of this would be behind me...oh wait, then i have tests and more projects....gahhhh. Just 6 more weeks of class and finals to get through and just 2 more months until new zealand (one of the thing that is getting me through all of these classes) 

(76) Oops

Ummm I'm a day behind....OOPS. Last night i was watching a movie and couldn't keep my eyes open.  I gave in to sleep and never got a post up yesterday.

The plan for friday(yesterday) was to spend the day doing homework.

I got absolutely no homework worked on. YIKES!

Somehow i knew this would happen. I always think, i will do this on this day and that on that day and it will all be done well before it is due and i will be so happy it is finished. Then somewhere along the line, usually at the beginning of that plan, things get all messed up. I just don't due the things i am supposed to.

Eventually it all gets done, but not without tons of stress and unenjoyable rushing.

SO back to yesterday.

I enjoyed my morning by sleeping in and then finishing the last few pages of my book-i couldn't keep my eyes open the night before to finish it.

My dad didn't have work that day so there were even more distractions around the house. (I can be distracted by anything when there is something i need to be working on-yet don't want to do)

I watched greys anatomy and was not very impressed by their musical episode. I found it hard to watch, and it distracted me from the plot and dialogue. When that finished, dad and i watched parenthood. Then I thought I would do some homework. Instead i revised the calendar with all of the assignment due dates. That counts as schoolwork, right? Ok probably not.

A little while later, after realizing i wasn't going to be productive, I chose to watch a documentary about models called "Picture Me." It followed the life of a model from the time she was 19 until she was in her mid to later 20s.

In the afternoon close to evening, me and dad ran some errands. We went to home depot and then to lowes to look at dryers. Then we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.

We dropped the groceries off at home and then grabbed some coupons and got dinner at wienerschnitzel. 

I had an ice cream cone, fries, and 2 corn dogs. Derlicious.

Krissi came by the house around that time to pick up a book and i also loaned her water for elephants.

I don't even remember what i did after dinner, but i went up to my room at 10 and started watching a movie and then fell asleep.

It was such a wasted day...but that's what spring break is for. At least i think it is.

(74) Nothing goes quite as planned

So i semi planned out what i would be doing today and actually accomplished a fair amount of it.

I woke up and poured myself a cup of coffee and went back to my room.

(i knew if i didn't go directly up to my room, i wouldn't be back there till way later. It would have been an unproductive day)

I picked up and sorted all of my dirty laundry and put all of my clean laundry on my bed.

I brought all of my laundry down to the garage so that i could start washing it.

I put on a load and threw the clothes from the washer into the dryer.

I went back in the house and enjoyed my coffee and browsed the internet. 

A while later i switched the load of laundry over and began a new load.

I went back in the house and lounged on the couch reading water for elephants. 

This process continued for hours-until 2 o'clock.

I went to check on the dryer. It had been over an hour since i had put the clothes in the dryer. They were still wet. I set the dryer again and hoped it would dry. I went out 45 minutes later. No change in dryness.

The dryer was broken.  Of course i was on a time crunch. It was around 3 and i had to leave for work at 4. All of my jeans, (i wear jeans for work), were in that load of laundry. Thankfully i live near a laundromat and was able to get them dried. I made it back home with about 20 minutes to spare. Just enough time to get ready.

Also somewhere in that time frame me and mom discovered we have a bee problem. There were a couple buzzing in the house. Mom killed several and they just kept appearing. They were nesting in the chimney. While i was at work a fire was put on to exterminate them. I believe it worked. At least i sure hope it did. 

I felt like i accomplished a fair amount today, but I just realized that when i go up to my room i still have to face the laundry that needs to be put away. It's always something.

And tomorrow...i may have to spend some time at the laundromat finishing the laundry that i started today.

But for now, i will shower, read a little more, and then hit the hay.

(57) I'm a failure

So as this title states, I am a failure. I just don't really care about school that much. I have a paper outline due tomorrow. All i have completed is the shell of the outline and the references (which weren't even required). I really have no desire to do this. I looked at the grade breakdown for the class and this wasn't listed. I suppose it might be included in the grade for the actual paper. It can't be worth that many points, right?

Perhaps i will wake up in the morning and loads of information will just fill my head and then end up on paper. Note: this would have to occur before 7:30am. It's possible, but not likely.

The reason this paper isn't done is due to yesterday's laziness and todays happenings (including lots of stalling)

-church

-shopping at Sam's club (which always takes longer than expected)

-putting away groceries

-making a smoothie

-eating lunch

-sitting outside

-i did research (that's a start)

-took a nap

-watched morning glory again

-attempted to keep working on the outline

-picking up my stuff from the living room (the cleaning ladies come tomorrow)

-using facebook games to stall

-watched sister wives

-realized my homework is probably not going to get done and sort of don't care.

And in a half an hour i am going to bed and will hope i wake up inspired and motivated.

Basically i need a divine intervention.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is refreshed and ready for another week.

Good Night.
