But it was a really neat place

(120) Doom Day...

.... wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be.

i went to bed last night at 1am...i made good progress on my study guide.

This morning i woke up at 8:30

poured myself a big cup of coffee

gathered up books, computer, notebook, notes and headed next door to write my paper

i was not very productive from 9-12, but then i turned the tv off and got to business

My hairstyle for the day...it means i have to get down to business

My do i have to write this paper look

I finished my 8 page paper at 6pm

I was so happy to have it done

and to have it done before it was dark out

i went back home

printed out my paper

continued on my study guide

ate dinner

then got really distracted on my computer

now i will stop blogging and get back to work

If you have finals this week, good luck. Dont get distracted. Stay strong. You are almost Done.

FYI: you know its a good day when you stay in your pajamas all day long.

(112) Mothers day

Here at the Brookhyser household, we had a fairly kick back get things done kind of day.

We ordered breakfast from Village Cafe. 

Dad went and picked it up. We ate out on the pond deck.

I folded laundry. 

Mom painted some lawn furniture.

It's my dad's favorite color.

I took some photos.

I ate a second breakfast.

Pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate chips. YUMMM.

Then i got caught up in a project runway marathon.

Spent a lot of time on stumble upon.

Stumbled upon this:

AND found this on a blog:

I really want to try it.

For a late lunch we had El Pollo Loco.

I took a nap.

continued watching project runway.

Started working on my volunteer reflection paper.

Ate my leftover burger from yesterdays lunch form ruby's 

Project runway ended at 8pm then the apprentice was on.

I finished my paper around 11pm.

SO now that i look back at today....all i did was eat, watch tv, do a little homework, and fold some laundry. I guess that is getting stuff done. I think the rest of the family was more productive than i was.

(106) Day and Night

This morning i slept in til 7am...impressive right. Ok not so much, but it was really nice not to get up at 6am.

Outfit #1:for school

At school:

-my first class got out early as usual

-during my break i formated a project that is due on wednesday...i hadn't even started it

Well, now it's started. I still have all of the writing portion to do.

-My other class got out a little early too. But it didn't help me out much. I had to wait around for the bus for about 20 minutes. Oh well.

Home:

(100) Successful 100th day

Wow I can't believe i have been doing this blog for 100 days. 

Now there are just 400 more to go.

Today was so productive. And im not even being sarcastic. I avoided distractions and stayed focused on finishing my paper.

I worked on it before class, after class, and between classes. It was done being written at 12:30. I read through it to check for errors. Afterwards i went to class. As soon as i got home i edited my citations. (i wanted to make sure they were done properly) By the time the paper was complete it was 9 full pages of text. I believe it was the longest paper i have wrote.

It was such a relief to have it done and know that i wouldn't be stressing about it while at work or frantically writing til the wee hours of the morning.

Once the paper was completed i printed it out and then sat on the couch and relaxed. I ate tacos around 4:30 before i went to work.

I was gone from 5pm-12:20am

A long night but well worth it.

I made decent money and had an enjoyable night.

Now i am going to sleep and know that i will sleep well because a stressor has been eliminated. I love having things done ahead of time...even if it isn't even that early.
