(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.

(75) A long adventurous day

I didn't end up going to bed until 2am last night....i just couldn't stop reading.
I woke up around 7:15 this morning from a text alert from my bank, informing me that i had spent over my "normal($125)-pre set" amount.
I decided to get up and start my day instead of sleep in.
I did some more laundry and read some more.
Around 9:45 i walked down to the laundromat rolling the laundry basket of wet clothes behind me. I'm sure i looked really weird...but i just wanted dry clothes.
I spent around 45 minutes at the laundromat and then i walked back home with my basket of dry clothes.
Success!
Around 11:15 another adventure began. 
Today the filming of a spoof music video was started. We were at the church from 11:30-5:30 working on it. Then around 5:30 the worship band started practicing. I was singing tonight so i had to ditch part of the video making time.
After church a big group of us went to Denny's. We ended up being there for 2 hours. 
I got home around 11:30.
My dad was still up so we chatted. I always love dad chats.
Now I am about to finish the last 30 pages of water for elephants and then go to sleep.
Tomorrow i can sleep in but then i have to get to work on homework and other school stuff.
So not the way spring break should end.

(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.
