(121) Day 1 of finals

Yes, this is one day behind.

Yesterday was the first of my 3 finals.

The plan was to get up around 7, continue studying and then get to school a little early and then take the final at 10:15.

My body had other plans. 

Velcro woke me up around 5am.

I got up to use the restroom, and velcro followed me.

i crawled back in bed, settled in and waited for velcro to settle in too.

Instead she got on my bed and bit my arm.

I then got out of bed and kicked her out of my room (more like tossed her out of my room)

i got back in bed and my mind starting going in so many directions.

i leave for new zealand in 3 weeks from today...what luggage am i taking...what clothes am i packing...when i come back how much should i work...i'll have jury duty a wk. later...then i leave for a roadtrip....its going to be so hot...i hope the weather change doesn't make me sick....wow i am really going to be gone a lot this summer...could i squeeze in time to go visit my friends where they are staying.....

It went on and on. I finally realized i wasn't going to fall back to sleep. I got out of bed at 6am.

Sat down with a coup of coffee.

enjoyed listening to the rain

(87) The dileo

So here is the dileo AKA "the deal"

(Yes, i sometimes use really weird words and/or phrases.)

-Im sick, which really sucks

- I had two tests today, double suck

-I have a test tomorrow, yuck

Here is how my day went:

arrive at school

study

nap...couldn't keep my eyes open

study

test...not too bad

drink tea...caffeine, much needed 

study.... for hours

test-freak out...so many short answer questions...brain dead

go home

eat

take a lot of medicine...dayquil, advil, emergen-c, nasal spray

work...the meds worked...i was happy and with it

bad tips...nice people...bad tippers

home...11:35

alka seltzer cold plus

blog

sleep...at some point

I hope everyone had a much better day than me....if not i am truly sorry, and have deep sympathy for whatever made it worse. 

(86) blaaaaahhhhhhh

Oh monday.....I think i will start off on a good note.

I had a very productive school day.

*finished a study guide-the test is tomorrow(tuesday)

*copied definitions for a test on wednesday

*read the articles for my 12:30 class

Its wonderful what can get done when i don't bring my laptop and bring my textbooks instead.

Now for what got done once i was home, or should i say what didn't get done.

*i made a late lunch

*took a nap

*woke up with a sore throat....grrrrrrr. Can i please shoot my body or at least get a new immune system

*watched tv

*spent too much time on the computer

*didn't do my study guide for CDFS 214-i have a test tomorrow

*didn't do the write up for my observation

*ate frequently...i was so munchy

As crummy as i am feeling about my lack of motivation this afternoon/evening, the good news is i still have plenty of time between classes tomorrow to study and get my assignment done. I just wish i didn't have a sore throat.

FYI: Zicam is going to be my new friend. I sure hope it works.

Little Pick Me Ups-

Things to make me feel better aside from medicine

*Only having 6 weeks, including finals, until summer.

*Remembering that i have less than 2 months until new zealand.

*Seeing pretty yellow daffodils on the mantle.

(84) Semi-Satisfying Saturday

I woke up at 9am this morning. I suppose one could say i slept in, yet i don't really think its sleeping in when you didn't go to bed until after one. I still only got 8 hours of sleep, which i suppose is better than my usual 6 hours. Oh and i could have easily slept longer. I forced myself to get up so that i could be productive and actually get stuff done.

I had a cup of coffee and enjoyed my morning internet searching, wishing, and dreaming. (this includes looking at clothes i cant buy, looking at creative DIY blogs, and searching things on etsy that i don't need to buy)

At 10am i started studying. I went out back and enjoyed the warm sun and cold air. I was out there for two hours while my parents were working around the yard.

At 12 i went inside and made lunch for the fam.

At 1 went back outside to keep studying. I stopped at 2:30 and went inside to start getting ready for work.

I took my time doing my makeup and did my hair quickly-first attempt and it turned out how i wanted. Today i used myself as my creative outlet. My hair was slicked back with my part to the side. I put my hair in a ponytail and then twisted it into a low bun. I used a hair tie and then secured it with large bobby pins. It ended up looking very ballerina-esque.

At 3:30 i left for work. My shift started off at 4 and started off on a bad foot. I had horrible tips right from the start. I went on break at 5 and ate some food hoping it would help my mood. (it didn't help) Things didn't start to improve until around 7:30. I was closing tonight and didn't end up finishing until 11:30. The good news is i got to close with my friend Ann. She took me home and we ended up sitting in the car for about 40 minutes chatting. I love car chats with friends.

(I went in my room and realized i should take a picture of my hair...I got caught up in photo booth.) 

This should give you an essence of "my look" today.

(wow i just realized my clavicle bones stick out really far...thats kind of disturbing)

Anyways its after one am... i think this previous statement should be a sign that i need to go to sleep now.

I hope everyone is having a satisfying and fun weekend.
