(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
continued working on my take home exam
went to bed around 11pm

Day 117: Friday
woke up at 8am
finished my take home exam
attempted printing it at 10am
ran out of ink 2 pages in...FAIL
emailed a copy to my professor
left the house at 10:40 to go to school
missed the first bus
caught the 2nd bus, 10 min. later
my ipod died...i heard "battery low"for the last few days i ignored it
went to my professors office
she didn't get my email
went to the horn center to print this exam
Had quite the learning experience...it took almost 30 minutes( i didn't know what i was doing)
finally got it printed
turned it in
saw debbie giving a tour to some kiddos
worked out at the gym
sweat my frustration away...without music
left the gym
ran into eddie
barely missed the bus
had 40 min to waste
ate lunch at carls jr
rode the very crowded bus home
i stood most of the way
got home and rested
took a shower
at a little bite to eat
went to the movies with carolyn
Water For Elephants....finally
it was so good
Im glad i was able to see it while it was still in theaters
well worth $10.75
Yes the book was better, but isn't every book better than the movie
they did a wonderful job bring the book to life
got home around 10pm
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

(107) Uh oh

So this post is a day late. I completely forgot about it yesterday.
Lets just say i was too preoccupied dealing with doom from my long bouts of procrastination.

Yesterday i spent hours on a magazine project.
I had the layout done for the moon landing. Unfortunately the person i was interviewing could barely remember the event and couldn't find any effects the event had on them.
SO that meant redoing the layout and photos. 
I took a break and watched part of glee and then interviewed my dad about the assassination of JFK.
I spent hours working on the articles themselves. I went to bed after 11pm and still had one more article to write and had six quotes to find.
Needless to say, i slept awful knowing that i still had more to finish in the morning.

(104) Nonfunctioning

Today my day didn't start until 10:30 am.
I forced myself to get out of bed so that i wouldn't waste my day away sleeping. (instead i wasted it while being awake)
I poured what was left of the pot of coffee in my cup and then made a new pot.
I went in the living room and plopped down in my chair where i turned on the tv and watched one tree hill for several hours. (i did pour myself a fresh post of coffee and ate a rice crispy treat during that time)
I worked on a Welcome to my Closet post. I hadn't realized how long it had been since i had done that...oops.
All day i felt so exhausted.
I was at work from 3:30-11pm. Even while i was working i was yawning and my eyes were wanting to shut and my body and brain were shutting down. I have to say i possibly learned my lesson: My body does not handle sleep deprivation from the previous day very well. Now i know.

More happened throughout the day but i don't have the memory or energy to write it.
So with that, Good Night.

(39) A lovely ending to the day

I got up at 6:20 this morning and finished my paper. 
School was just like any other school day.
Here are some of the exceptions to the above statement:
Oh i got another latte today, but that wasn't a good idea. I think i finally hit my dairy limit, so my body decided to go crazy and torture me. 
I spent my free time between class watching Glee instead of reading like I normally do.

I got home around 2:30 today and was able to relax and start catching up on shows.
This included: Gossip Girl, watching Glee with mom, and watching Parenthood with mom and dad.

I got to hang out with Krissi tonight.
We went to cha for tea, Borders, and then to Target. 
We bought rain boots that are so cute and I also bought a pair for my mom. Now we will be rainy day triplets.
If you want to join the club, here is what they look like.
Merona Zusa Floral Rain Boots
Tomorrow i have my first test of the semester. And did I study today? uhhh no. But i did do the study guide over the weekend and we did a review in class on tuesday. I'm not too concerned and i will also use my 3 hr break before class to prepare.

A new season of Americas Next Top Model started tonight. Another show to add to my list. I have not missed a season yet, and I'm not about to let that change. 
So my plan for the rest of the night is to watch ANTM and then go to bed. Sound good? cause i think it does.

(23) Perhaps i learned my lesson

Here is today in a nut shell

school
came home and ate-2:30
watched glee-again
nap
research-5pm
ate again
more research
got frustrated
kept researching
started getting somewhere with my paper-probably around 10pm
11:58 Finished My Paper 
For hours i didn't think it was going to happen.
I was almost ok with the idea of failing.
Now its after midnight im laying in bed tired and my stomach is growling. But i am going to ignore it and go to sleep and hope tomorrow is a less frustrating day.
