(81) Momentary Relief

It has been yet another busy and tiring day.

I got less than 6 hours of sleep last night which made me feel like a zombie today. 

I spent my hour before class writing my micro-teaching assignment on gross motor skills.

I nearly fell asleep during my 12:30 class. Lets just say, movies and lack of sleep don't mix well together.

I got home around 2 and ate a soft taco and then took a nap.

When i woke up from my nap i got ready for work and then left shortly after.

I worked from 4:30 to about 8:30. (this is the earliest i've been off in a very long time)

I got home a little after 9. It was time to finish this project. I did the write up on dramatic play. I finished at 10:45. It was such a relief to have this assignment done at a reasonable hour. All i have left is to draw some diagrams-i will do this at school tomorrow.

Tomorrow also marks the beginning of another stressful day. I have to work on another project- due on friday.

So as good as it feels now to have something completed or at least nearly completed, it is only short lived. Thankfully my stress level should be dropping after friday.

(I just have to choose to not think about the three tests that are next week.)

(80) Working out as planned

It is after midnight and i just got home from work, so i have no desire to go through the entire days happenings.

Here are the important things:

1. I completed my miniproject (due wednesday) before my 9:30 am class this morning.

I got to check one more assignment off my list!

2. I typed out the format for my micro-teaching project-it was a start.

3. I was able to sign up for my fieldwork class. I even got the days that i had originally planned my schedule around. I love it when things work out how they were planned. (for awhile i thought i would be taking this class during the summer of 2012-it would have been awful-6weeks of working at a preschool 7am-5:30pm 5 days a week. Taking it in the fall means i am in the classroom 6 hours a week-much more manageable)

Ok that is all i am motivated to write.

(79) Success and a plan

Spring Break is officially over.

I woke up at 6am and never really fell back alseep during my 15minutes of "snooze."

My mind was ready to start the day and I was motivated.

Before class started i was able to finish up one of my paragraphs for the paper i was working on.

Unfortunately i didn't have my book, so i couldn't get more done at school.

It was a good back to school day post spring break. (i know that is a horrible and unclear sentence but i've been writing for hours...cut me some slack)

I got home around 2:15 and immediately went back to working on my paper.

At 4 i went with erin to look at a studio apartment.

I got my baby fix there. We had gone outside to look at the parking situation. A mom and her little girl were outside. The little girl toddled over to me and put her arms out. SO I asked the mom if i could pick her up. The mom had no problem with that. SO i got to hold this adorable little girl. She was maybe one years old.

I got back home around 5. I ate dinner and then i realized i was too tired to do anything productive. I took a nap from 6:30 to 7:15. When i woke up i got right back to working on my paper. The paper was done by 9:45. It was supposed to be a minimum of 6 pages, mine ended up being 8. I think i did well-normally i did the minimum, so i feel good about doing more than that.

Here is the homework plan for the rest of the week:

tuesday: write my miniproject paper between classes.(due wed), Start my micro teaching assignment.

Wednesday:complete micro teaching assignment(due thursday), research for parent project.

Thursday: Complete the outline for the parent project (due friday)

It is not going to be a fun week but all of my nights are full, so my days have to be productive otherwise i am doomed.

(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.

(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.
