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!).

Hey hey!

Today, I went shopping for Austin's Valentine's Day gifts! I have outdone myself :) I can't reveal what it is yet, but I can't wait until he gets it! I'm sending the box tomorrow. I know, it's early. I want him to get it in time though. Maybe I'll make him open it early since I can't wait!!

Anyway, this morning I went to the dentist! Zero cavities for almost 21 years now! AKA my whole life ;)

I spent all day doing girlfriend stuff and forgot all about school! Silly me. I'm off to read read read and write a paper! Fun stuff.

Have a good week! :)

Life is Good Today

Let me just start by saying life is good lately. Like I've mentioned, I am liking my classes. That's a major plus. I'm feeling more involved at work. I've seen close friends more often lately. As hard as it can be, I am adjusting to Austin being in Japan surprisingly well. We don't get to Skype/FaceTime a lot, but we can text pretty much whenever we're both awake.

I went to the gym on Thursday for the first time in almost two years (embarrassing to admit!!) but it felt GREAT! I have a break in my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I'm going to try and go every week on those days. Two days isn't much, but it's a start and it's definitely more than nothing! Besides, Wii Fit makes up for it right? ;)

As I was watching a movie a few days ago, Death Cab for Cutie came on. I forgot how much I loved them and immediately went online and bought every album I didn't already  have. I have been listening to them for days and I am so excited. They make me happy!
At work, certain reviews for the people I work with have to be completed and submitted by the 15th of this month (tomorrow!). My boss told the people conducting the review that we needed them at my office no later than this Tuesday, because I have to check them for completeness, scan them and submit them. It takes a total of about 20 minutes for each one. There are 150 of them. I did a lot on Monday and Wednesday, but of course people didn't have ALL of them to me by Tuesday so I got the rest on Friday the 13th. Suiting right? I worked my normal 11-5 yesterday, then stayed until 8:30. I have to go back today to finish. Boooo. Last night wasn't too bad though! My co-worker Talia stayed with me! What a good friend :) We listened to Bieber, ordered pizza, got stuck in an elevator, and had the lights turned off on us! We freaked out and left earlier than planned, which is why I have to go back today. Oh well! Food, a friend, and time and a half pay makes it all the better!

Tonight, I'm going to a friend's house for a party, woo! I'm very excited to see people I haven't seen in a while. Plus, she's making cupcakes ;)

New Semester

Well, school started. I'm actually really excited and I feel really into my classes...for once. Every semester I've had one class where I know I'm just going to hate it. This semester, I'm really stoked for every class and I'm very happy! This is my first semester in communication and I feel like I've finally found what I like. Now it's only a matter of what I can do with that kind of degree... Anywho! In the last two days, I've watched No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits. I loved both of them! Very similar, but different in good ways. There was a song by Death Cab For Cutie in FWB and it was nice to hear them again. I used to listen to them ALL the time. Now before bed, I'm downloading all of their seven albums :) I'm a happy girl. Have a good niiight!

Alright, so I'm a Little Indecisive

I am excited for school to start tomorrow. Yep, contrary to my earlier post, I'm kind of excited! Three more semesters and I graduate. Whoa, did I really just say that? I can't believe it. My good mood could of course be coming from the fact that I just did yoga for the first time (and loved it!) and now I'm listening to the soundtrack from Across the Universe. I think I owe my happiness to those things :) I have everything ready for tomorrow and now I just have to focus on actually getting to sleep tonight! If you're starting school tomorrow, good luck!!

PS
NA NA NA NA NA NA NAAAA NA NA NA NAAAA HEYYY JUDE!!!

Boo

School starts tomorrow. Need I say more? Work and school are going to kill me. Slowly. I can't wait to be done with school. I wish I wasn't at work all day today, so I could mentally prepare, and get my books! I am so not ready for tomorrow.
