Day 105 and 106: 15 and 16 April 2015

Hello All,

So I know I’m a little late on posting this but it was a hectic and exhausting week! I’m going to keep this post short and sweet because I have a few others to catch up on because I’m so behind!

I spent most of Wednesday working on my 8 page paper that I had to write by Thursday night and by the time Supernatural came on I was exhausted and ready for bed. Once the show was over there was no way I was going to be able to concentrate on my paper so I gave up my efforts and shut my laptop for the night and laid on the couch for another hour before I finally made myself get back up and go to bed… it was struggle let me tell you. As I was lying in bed I remembered that I had a health test the next morning and I hadn’t even looked at the chapter in the book. So I ended up staying awake until 1:30 in the morning studying. It was awful, I was asleep as soon as my head hit my pillow.

The next day I made my way to my health class and took my test in 20 minutes like I do with all of my tests. Then I went to my next class early so I could go to the computer lab and work on my paper a bit before class. I ended up getting distracted and didn’t get much work done. Then I went to my class where people were giving presentations so I didn’t pay much attention. Then once that class let out I went back to the lab because my 11:00 class was cancelled and I really did work on my paper this time. While I was talking to one of my classmates about our paper my phone rang and when I answered it, it was the lady from the internship I applied for and she scheduled me an interview for Tuesday at 10:30 am. I got so excited and as soon as I was off the phone with her I called my mom to tell her the good news and she was so excited she screamed in my ear. We talked for a few minutes before I got back to working on my paper. Then I went to lunch with Sarah before making my way to work, and while I was at work I typed half of my paper. Then when I got back to my apartment I finished my paper by 6:00 and I had Sarah read it before I submitted it online. It ended up being 10 pages including my cover page and reference page. Then after my paper was done I had a speech to write for my public speaking class. I did that fairly quickly and once it was written I made the PowerPoint presentation to go with it. Then I took two online quizzes and I was all done with my work by 10:30 and then around 11 I got a phone call from the guy I like and we ended up talking until 2 in the morning, he ended up falling asleep on me like always. Then after that I went to bed as well and I was so tired that I was out like a light!

Day 103 and 104: 13 and 14 April 2015

Hey there everyone!

So this week is going to be one of the most stressful weeks of my life, I barely have time to type this post! I have so many assignments to do between today and the 30^th of this month. I have 4 presentations, 3 major papers, 2 group presentations, a speech, and several tests. I literally don’t know what I’m going to do. In this week alone I have a paper due Thursday night, a test Thursday morning, a speech due Friday, and a presentation on Friday as well. I hate the end of the semester it is always so stressful because the professors always try to fit so many things in to the schedule in such a short amount of time. It’s not fair for us students to have to deal with all of this at once! So don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from me much this week, because I will probably be pulling my hair out trying to get all of my work done!

The past two days however have been fairly easy because all of the assignments were assigned on those days, so I had only a small amount of time before all the due dates began approaching. Yesterday was a normal Monday, I went to class and did my homework that was due and I went cross eyed form staring at my computer screen too long and then I fell asleep on the phone with the guy I like. He always falls asleep on me when we are on the phone so it was nice that I finally got to repay the favor! Then today I woke up feeling awful and my stomach kept turning and I didn’t make it to class because I could move without having to vomit. I blame all of the stress that my professors have put me under! So today I have rested and planned out the rest of semester so I know when things are due and when the best times to do them are. So hopefully I will make it through the rest of the semester without jumping off of a building!

Wish me luck! I hope y’all have a wonderful week and that it isn’t too stressful for you!

Day Eighty Nine Ninety and Ninety One: 30 March through 1 April 2015

Hey there everyone,

It has been a really hectic week, which is why I haven’t had time to blog about it. Between projects, papers, and tests I have barely had any time to do anything else. I had a project due on Tuesday, a test on Wednesday, and several assignments due on Thursday.

Monday was a busy day because I spent the entire day working on the project that was due Tuesday because not only was there a project to do but I also had to do a 20 question assignment for the same class. Then on Tuesday I spent the entire day studying for the essay test I had to do on Wednesday. Wednesday I actually got to take a small break because I only had to do a 20 question assignment.

As we all know Wednesday was the first day in April as well as April Fool’s Day, I never much cared for April Fool’s Day because I feel like it gives people an excuse to act like idiots all day because that is normally what happens.  However, like I do at the beginning of every month I’m going to tell you all some of my favorite random holidays in April. The first of them being on April 4^th which is National Hug a Newsman Day. There is National No Housework Day on the 7^th, National Golfer’s Day on the 10^th, National Stress Awareness Day on the 16^th, National Blah Blah Blah Day on the 17^th, my personal favorite National Take A Chance Day on the 23^rd, and last but not least National Kiss Your Mate Day on the 28^th. This month is full of great random holidays, if you want to check some of them out follow this link http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/april.htm to the website where I get all of my fun holidays.

So after my assignments were done on Wednesday I spent the rest if my day doing laundry and packing for the three day weekend. I haven’t done laundry in a couple of weeks and I was running out of socks, so while I was watching Supernatural I threw all of my clothes in the washer. Supernatural this week made me so happy because one of my favorite characters who died a few seasons back showed up. I was so excited I was smiling the entire episode! And Crowley, another one of the main characters finally got his life together and told his mom how he felt about her. Then after Supernatural, Sarah and I watched Gone in 60 Seconds, which is one of her favorite movies and I had never seen it before. The movie was great and I really enjoyed it! As the movie was finishing up I folded my laundry and packed a few of the things I just washed. I finished packing all of my belongings for the three day weekend. I will tell you all about Thursday and Friday in my next blog post!

Day Eighty Three and Eighty Four: 24 and 25 March 2015

Hello awesome people,

I hope y’all have had a good week so far, sorry I didn’t post last night but I was exhausted and I had a lot of homework that needed to get done! So this post will be about Tuesday and Wednesday, and tomorrow I will post about Thursday and Friday. Without further delay let’s get too it.

Tuesday was a fairly laid back day, I didn’t have any classes because it was advising day here at school. Probably a good thing I didn’t have class or I would’ve been a zombie because I was up really late skyping a very good friend of mine. He and I stayed on the phone/computer/ipad until 6am when we both finally started to pass out. My appointment with my adviser was at 10:30 so I didn’t get as much sleep as I needed but I powered through the lack of sleep. When I got to my appointment I had to wait a little bit because she was meeting with another student. I used that time to talk to her secretary who is a very nice woman and we talked about a variety of topics and she told me about her dad and his love of cake. It was great hearing her stories. After she finished talking about her dad and his love of cake my advisor was ready for me. During my appointment she gave me a list of all of the classes I needed to graduate and I could’ve literally cried right there because she planned out my last two semesters and I only have to take 15 credits my last two semesters. I have been taking 18-20 the last few semesters and I was so excited about only have 5 classes. I thought I was going to have to take more than that and I couldn’t contain my joy, as soon as I left my appointment I had to call my mom and tell her the good news! Once I got off the phone with my mom I made my way back to my apartment and I had only a little bit of time before I had to go to work at 1. So I spent my time hanging out with my roommates, and then I went to work and Sarah joined me and we just hung out and talked for the 2 hours I was stuck at work. Then after work it was time for me to get my homework done. I sat down at my computer and I attempted to do my work but I ended up almost falling asleep on my computer before Sarah woke me up and told me to go to bed and take a nap. I just nodded and propelled myself onto my bed where I collapsed almost immediately and fell asleep for 2 hours. It was a glorious nap and I hadn’t of taken it I’m pretty sure I would’ve died. After my nap I felt much better and I made myself some dinner before taking a nice long hot shower. Once all of that was done I finally got started on my homework. I ended up doing homework for hours, and I even did some during commercials the while I was watching 19 Kids and Counting with Sarah. Thankfully by midnight I was done and I could go back to bed, and it didn’t take long for me to pass out again.

Then on Wednesday I had all of my classes as usual, and I ended up going to a lecture about budgeting and finance that was optional for all students. I learned a lot and hopefully I will remember those things when I graduate from university. After that I made my way to lunch with Sarah and then I went to class. The only different about this Wednesday was that instead of going to work I met my family at Applebee’s for dinner because I was getting inducted into the business honor society at school, and they all came down to watch the ceremony. My family was running late as usual so Sarah and I got to the restaurant way before they did so we ordered ourselves some margaritas and an appetizer and waited for them. We were just finishing our chicken wings when the showed up. It wasn’t just my mom and dad, but my sister her husband and daughter along with my grandmother showed up. It was a lot of people, and my sister as usual was rude to me and we barely spoke to each other. Honestly I have no idea why she even came in the first place. Before everyone was done with dinner I had to head out because I had to be at the venue early because I was being inducted. Sarah saved everyone seats and I got to sit in the front row. The ceremony was fairly quick and we were done with all the recognitions and awards after an hour. There was a small reception afterwards and they had cake and water for those who wanted it. During that time we took pictures and I introduced my mom to my advisor who is also the dean on the business school, and a few of my professors. Overall it was a good event, then after that my family left and Sarah and I went back to our apartment. We made it back with plenty of time before Supernatural was coming on! We watched the new episode while we ate on our left over food from dinner and I refused to do any homework during then. After wards however I still had to work on part one of a big project I’ve been working on. Luckily I got it done and turned in before midnight and then it was bed time because after those two days I was exhausted!

I hope y’all have a great rest of the week!

Day Seventy Seven and Seventy Eight: 18 and 19 March 2015

Hey Y’all!

I hope you have had a wonderful Wednesday and Thursday! This week just seems to have flown by, it doesn’t feel like tomorrow is Friday! Summer is another week closer and then I will officially be a senior in college! I’m so excited, I won’t know what to do with myself! Although the end of the semester does signal a few different things for me, school will be over so I will have to start working everyday again, I have to move back in with my parents for the summer, and saddest of all Sarah will be graduating and most likely moving to Wilmington, NC which is 3 hours away from me! So school ending this year will be bittersweet. Enough of that for now and let’s talk about the last two days.

Yesterday, was a fairly boring day… I spent most of my day working on a 5 page paper that was due by 7:30 this morning. I had to watch a 5 part YouTube video and take notes on it so that I would be able to do the paper correctly, and it was a major struggle.  While I was watching part 4 of the videos I fell asleep because I was exhausted and I didn’t wake up until it was time for me to go to work at 3:50. I grabbed my laptop and booked it down the stairs so I wouldn’t be late. While I was at work I finished watching the videos and started typing my paper. Then I worked on it for a few hours before I was off work at 6. Then when I got back to the apartment I made myself some dinner before grabbing a quick shower. After that I spent another few hours working on my paper because I wanted to get it over with. However at 9pm the new episode of Supernatural came on so I took a break to watch that with Sarah. Then after the episode I put my writing cap on and finished my paper by 12:30, however even after I was done I was wide awake so it took me forever to get to sleep. This brings me to today…

This morning when my alarm clock went off, I completely ignored it and kept right on sleeping. Then when I did finally wake up there was no time for me to get myself ready to make it to my first class. So I skipped my first class this morning and I don’t regret my decision. I would have been dead to the world if I had gotten up at 5:45 like I usually do on Thursdays. So I took my time getting ready this morning since I wasn’t going to the first class. I straightened my hair instead of curling it because I wanted to do something a little different then for my makeup I did something more subtle and natural looking. It turned out very pretty, I used a pale white color on my lid and blended a light matte brown on the outer corner before adding a shimmery brown in my crease. It created a very pretty natural look that was perfect for how I was feeling today. By the time I was ready for the day it was time for me to go to class. I went to my other two classes and then I made my way to work where I had nothing to do so I spent 2 hours playing solitaire on my laptop. After work I ran to the store with Sarah so we could get ingredients for dinner tonight. I am going to be making parmesan crusted pork chops with rice and broccoli, I’m really excited about it because this is one of my favorite dishes. Then after dinner we are going to drink some wine and watch some movies since neither of us have any more homework to do! Overall it shall be a very relaxing evening!

Well I’ve got to go and make dinner, I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday!

Day Sixty One and Sixty Two: 2 and 3 March 2015

Hey There Everyone,

I hope y’all have had an amazing start to your week! Mine has been extremely busy and I am lucky to have made it through these last two days without dying.

Monday was probably the busiest day of all, I had so many assignments that I needed to get done that I was nauseous. I had to type up a health report and email it to my professor, study for a mid-term, do a very long assignment for one of my professors, make a PowerPoint presentation, and read a chapter in my textbook and take notes on it for class. All of this was due by midnight. Needless to say I didn’t do much yesterday other than homework. I ended up not going to my classes because of the amount of work that I needed to get done and on top of all of my assignments I had to go to work as well. The first thing I did was the longest assignment I had out of all of them, and it nearly took me 2 hours to compete plus it ended up being 4 pages long. Once that was submitted I got to work putting together the PowerPoint presentation for the same class I had just submitted the assignment for. That didn’t take too long thankfully, and then I was off doing the next thing on my very long to do list which was starting my health reports. I had to go to work before I could begin writing them so I took my laptop to work and spent the entire 2 hours working on my reports and studying for my midterm. Then by the time I was done with work I was exhausted and decided to order Chinese food for dinner for Sarah and I. So by the time I got back to my apartment all I had to do was eat my dinner and read my textbook. I was fortunate enough to be done with all of my work by 10pm which gave me a few hours to relax before it was time for me to go to bed.

The today I had my midterm for my 8am class and the test was so easy it only took me 10 minutes to complete it. Then I went to Food Lion to get coffee creamer because there was no way I was going to survive another day without caffeine. I got back to my apartment with an hour still to go before my next class so I lounged around on the couch and scrolled through Instagram and did a little beauty blogging. Then when it was an acceptable time to leave for class I made my way back to campus for my presentation. I was all dressed up in my nice black pants with my black boots and my wine colored button down shirt. My presentation was a hit and everyone liked my idea. My last class of the day was easy as always and then I was off to lunch with Sarah before work. I had a nice soup and salad combo before make my way to my car to exchange my book bag for my laptop bag so I could continue working on my to do list at work. I only had two things to do today but they were both fairly extensive. The first thing I got to work doing was revising my paper that was due tonight at Midnight. I had to completely rewrite the ending so that took some brain power. Then when that was done I got to work on my major assignment of the day which was to write a 5 minute long speech and make a PowerPoint presentation to go with it. It took me almost all day to complete it. I had to do my research and put all of it together in an outline before I could even think about making the presentation. I am giving a speech tomorrow on the causes of depression and the effects depression can have on a person’s life. It’s a subject that I near and dear to me so it wasn’t hard to do but I just wanted to make sure that I made it in the time required because it had to be at least 5 minutes long and I wasn’t about to lose points for something so simple. My speech ended up being 5 pages long and there are just as many sides. I avoided putting words on the slides because I didn’t want to be tempted to read off the screen. Luckily I was done with everything by 8:30 which gave me a chance to run through it and time myself. After giving my speech to Sarah I found out that if I read it word for word it would end up being 5 minutes and 30 seconds. I was thrilled to say the least. After I did that I printed out my outline and my speech and closed my laptop. I was done with everything in time to watch my Tuesday night TV shows, Sarah and I love watching 19 Kids and Counting followed by Our Little Family. We watch those shows every week and I was so glad that I was able to watch them tonight without having to do homework at the same time. Once our shows were over we made our way in to our respective rooms and went to bed earlier than we ever have before. I grabbed my speech and recited it to myself a few times before picking up my laptop and writing this post for y’all. Sorry that I have been struggling to blog lately, with it being the middle of the semester all of my teachers are handing out boatloads of assignments on a regular basis. Thankfully spring break starts on Friday so I will have a week to relax and get my life together.

That is all for now, and I will talk to y’all tomorrow hopefully!
