Work Chat ♥

Thursday funday?

Hello hello!

Baseball season has started up ♥ This is one of the highlights of my life at the moment. I've gone to 2 of the Diamondbacks' 3 home games this season and I have plans to go to a game next week. You could say I'm a superfan. I am currently watching the game in San Diego. DBacks are winning of course :) The're 4 and 1! Soon to be 5 and 1 ;)

Less than a week until my birthday! Eek. I'm a little nervous to be quite honest.

I'm officially done with 2 of my 5 classes this semester. Now I only have a couple exams and miscellaneous assignments before summer. I can NOT wait.

I brought some of my old dorm stuff to the apartment I'm moving into today. That was exciting even though it is still about three and a half months until I move in. Jumping the gun? Nooo...

Welp this was super exciting but I should be getting to bed. Work early in the morning! The good news is, tomorrow is Friday :)

Have a great night/weekend!

Time to Catch Up

I'm laying here in bed wondering what I can do to avoid sleep.

I realize I haven't updated my blog in a ridiculous amount of time, so here I am.

My last post was whining about how I couldn't talk to Austin. Well guess what, I can! It's every few days and I never know when it'll happen next, but it's 100% better than not talking to him at all. I always do that, I take things so seriously and get all dramatic and boohoo my life sucks. I need to just GET OVER IT and let things run their course. Jesus Maria

Big news! I signed my very first lease for an apartment! I'm moving in with two good friends and another friend I've known since freshman year. I'm so very excited to get out of my parents' house! I love them, but it's time for me to be on my own. I move in officially on August 1st, but I imagine it will be a few days after that because they have to clean the carpet and take the furniture out (changing from furnished to unfurnished for a cheaper cost!!). Another great thing about this move is that Austin will be here to help me move! Yes that's correct, he's coming home for the last two weeks of July and the first two weeks of August!! This is all tentative of course...military.

I am three weeks away from being finished with my junior year of college. Did those words just come out of my mouth? I can't even believe it. Three weeks and it's summer. Then summer school and one more year. I hate the end of a semester, I get so stressed! One assignment, test, or project at a time. I just need to make a list. Those always seem to help.

Also, in two weeks and a day, I turn 21! I want to go to dinner on my birthday with just my family. It is a Wednesday and I have an exam the next day. Boo! I will go out with all my friends the weekend after my birthday. Or who knows, maybe my plans will change. I don't really care what I do, as long as I have fun :)

So many fun things coming up to look forward to. I can't wait :)

For now though, I must only dream about them. AKA it's finally time for bed :)

Goodnight!

Womp womp

This morning (middle of the night) I got a text from Austin saying he won't have wifi/a way to contact me for the rest of the time he's in Korea. This means 43 days without hearing from him. Shoot me

Oye Vay

Today was ridiculous. I went to work all day and had to cover the front desk which meant not being able to do my regular job...again. Meanwhile contemplating confronting someone about talking shit. AND giving advice to someone about coming clean about something. All very vague, no? I try not to talk about people on the internet...it's not as private as people think.

On that note, time for studying and then bed. Night!

Long Day

Today is such a long day already! I woke up and took a quiz. Then I went to get Dutch Bros before class, sat through two classes, then it was the library to take a test online. I feel like I did very well! Now I'm at a friend's house waiting to take another online test for another class! Three in one day! The good news is, after this, I'm free for a few days. I don't have any homework over the weekend which is VERY rare! So I will be living it up :)

Late Valentine's

So I just read an old post and realized I never posted Austin's Valentine's Day gift on here.

I made him this AWESOME Diamondbacks blanket! I also made candy and put it in the box.

I'm very proud :)

Umm, I'm alive. So many times I just don't blog for weeks at a time. I can come up with excuses (too busy, tired, homework), but what's the point? I'm here now.

I don't even know where to start. I have been very busy lately with school and work and friends. I never really noticed, but up until about a month ago I was a hermit. If I wasn't at work or school, I was at home. I never really went out or hung out with friends outside of school and the occasional weekend. I thought it was normal! I guess I didn't realize something was missing until something was there. I've been hanging out with the same two ladies from my last post often! I stay at their apartment about 2-3 nights a week. Sheesh! I need some girl time though. I even have my own travel sized shampoo and such in their bathroom. But ANYWAY.

Next week, I find out about my yearly bonus/raise at work. Since I've only worked there a year, this is my first one! I'm so excited and can't wait for the cash! ;) I already got to read my managers' reviews and they all had nothing but nice things to say about me. I was even basically promised a full time position there after I graduate! I was very flattered by this since full time jobs are hard to find!

One of my online classes ended last week (hooray!) and I'm keeping up with my other classes well. I have three tests tomorrow though, so maybe I shouldn't be blogging. Whoops!

Here's the worst part of today: Austin is now unreachable in Korea. I know so many people have it worse than me because their loved ones are in Iraq or Afghanistan, but it's just so hard to get used to. Thankfully he's in South Korea, and very far south of the North/South border. It's still difficult not being able to talk to him. He might be able to get wifi and access to email later on, but it's not certain. The suspense is killing me! I wish I knew a for sure answer.

WELL, now that I've successfully rambled for a few minutes, it's off to reading and studying!

Wahhhh

I've had a big mix of feelings the past couple of weeks! I don't even know where to start.

I guess I can start with today. I have SO much reading to do for school. Chapters upon chapters and articles upon articles. I hate 300 level classes! I have a quiz and two tests due this week and I can't even wrap my head around how I'm going to get started on these. I'm just so flustered with it all that I can't even focus on one thing. Oh I forgot about my online class, as well as my online lab which I need to do reading, labs and a quiz for. I'm drowning.

I've also learned that Austin is going to Korea for a month for a training exercise. I (we) thought he'd be coming home in August or maybe even June, but now it's looking like December. That's 11 months from now, and it would be 14 months from when he first left. That is SO long. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'll do it. I'll do whatever it takes!

Friends. I've started hanging out (more often) with two lovely ladies! The problem is, I live 20 minutes away from them. BUT they live 5 minutes from where I work and go to schoool. WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN THAT AREA. It would make life so much easier. All of my other friends live in that area too. It's making me go a little crazy. Having to drive allll the way home just to sleep or get a change of clothes is really getting to me. If only I made enough money to live on my own. Don't even get me started on that topic...

One good thing that I've been doing lately is working out. I've NEVER been one for sports or anything athletic/physically challenging. Lately I've been working out at the gym on campus twice a week, doing Zumba once or twice a week, and yoga just as often. I feel good! I feel like I have more energy and generally feel better about myself. I'm definitely not doing any extreme workouts or anything, but it's a start.

Now, I have to get started on this homework. Wish me luck.

There's Hope

Today in my Human Sexuality class my professor asked for a male to answer the question "What is romance?" and I was surprised by my classmate's answer. He defined romance as "doing big thoughtful things occasionally and the small meaningful things constantly." It was refreshing to know that there are still guys out there that believe in romance (besides my man of course!).
