I Have Pretty Incredible Friends

Lately, I've come to realize that not only are my friends amazing, they are amazingly strong. The past few days I have really been thinking about it and all of my really close friends have overcome some difficult things and difficult times in life. They have been able to do it with their heads held high and have become such strong people. I'm so amazed and blessed to have friends like these to be there for me and help me along in my dark moments. They give me strength and courage when I need it and I try my best to do the same in return. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. They all deserve the best in life.

To all my friends, I love you all.

Today's Schedule

Well I guess I have a few min before class to write a bit on here. I've been neglecting this :-( Well more like, I'm not really getting good ideas to write about. Or I do, but end up forgetting them by the time I'm finally able to sit down and do it. Oh well. That's life right!

Although I do wish I had something meaningful to write about instead of my normal rant about life. It's continued to be mostly work and homework. It's finally getting cold outside, like winter cold. But again, we did make it with nice weather to the middle of November so I can't really complain too much.

I cannot believe how fast this semester has gone. There is only a month left, literally, before finals are over! Most of my classes shouldn't be hard to get through. It's marketing that I'm most concerned about. See, I have to write a 15-20 page paper. I've never written one that long before so it will definitely be a challenge. I should probably start on it soon too. I only have 3 weeks to get it done, on top of everything else I have going on. But today I have a lot of time to get stuff done...and since I like making lists, let's make one.

Shit to accomplish today:
-go to class!
-Marketing web assignment
-finish reading Ch. 7 for Human Geography (it's my last chapter to read, why not get it done and out of the way early. That way I have more crunch time later.)
-Spend the rest of the day working on my Final Marketing Project/Paper.
*Make outline
*Goal: 3 pages. (that's not too bad and starting is always the hardest part. And I can always write more if I have time)

That seems like a reasonably productive amount of stuff to get done today. Let's do it!

Ninja November

Well hello November,

Fancy seeing you this time of year. A surprise really, although it really should be. I knew the leaves had been changing and falling all around me. I knew the weather was getting colder. But I guess I was to busy with everything going on that I just didn't see you coming. You're like a ninja. I'm happy to see you though. October was a stressful month, so I'm hoping you'll treat me better. You started out kinda crappy though, no offense. All of that homework, those tests, long hours at work...and still more to come. But let's see what else you have to offer. Break is coming up! Which means going home to see the family, seeing old friends, getting a short break from classes, and good food! I guess it also got me to today-300 days and counting until the wedding! Wheee! Holy cow, only two more weeks until the week of Thanksgiving! Where has time gone?! Again, I blame your ninja skills. In a week it'll be 6 months til graduation. 6 whole months. Dang. I remember back when it was still 3 and a half years away. When it was a faint glimpse in the future, but no it's coming up and I know these next 6 months and a week will fly by. Crazy.

I'd write more, but I really should be productive and at least get a few pages read for marketing or human geography. This is also going to be a busy week but hopefully things will die down a bit after the 15th. Here's a schedule:

Monday: Class, read ALL of Ch. 11 for marketing, work on Ch. 6 for Human Geography, study for philosophy test
Tuesday: Class, start reading Ch. 12 for marketing, finish Ch. 6 for HG, study for philosophy test, meet with group
Wednesday: Presentation, finish Ch. 12 for marketing, reread all 3 readings for philosophy, study for philosophy
Thursday: Philosophy test, class, HG quiz
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: work, homework
Monday: class, study for Law & Ethics test
Tuesday: class, Law & Ethics Test, class

Just rar.

Off Day

Yeah, I've been in a funk since Friday. Fears are starting to get to me and negative thoughts are creeping in. Maybe it's the stress, maybe it's routine getting to me, or maybe it's just me craving interaction with people (this weekend was pretty damn lonely). I was surrounded by a ton of people who loved me last weekend and hardly had any alone time and now it's just me and my homework and the occasional text I get on my phone. My phone has been quieter than I'm used to and that just reinforces the "alone" feeling. I hate it.

I want to go out and do something fun. I want to get my mind off of my fears and just let go and feel free. I want to not have to worry about homework for once or what I have to get done next. I want to experience something new and exciting. Maybe I'm hitting that 4 year itch mark...when I get restless of what I'm doing and feel the need to do something major to add some excitement. I know I have a lot of big things coming up in the next year, a lot of excitement and newness...but waiting 7 months to get there is too long. I need something now.

This apartment is getting to me. My job is getting to me. School is getting to me. I'm in a routine and I hate it. I usually like the stability...but after a while I feel like it suffocates me. I need some excitement in my life.

Crazy Busy and Livin' Life

Wow, I've really been slacking on my posts lately! But in my defense I've been incredibly busy with school work, then Fall Break, and well, frankly, I've just been lazy since I've been back lol. But I guess an update is in order.

School: Busy. Lots of homework, projects, tests and all that fun jazz. I didn't exactly fail my philosophy test like I thought I would. I got a high D instead. Definitely not my finest hour but a whole lot better than I was expecting. Maybe my teacher found some pity for me, especially since he knew I was actually trying. All of my other tests have gone pretty well which is good! But I'm just ready for things to slow dowwwwwn. Seriously. I really hope I don't have a crap ton of stuff to do over Thanksgiving Break. I'd love to actually have a BREAK. Woah, what a concept!

Also for a moment I thought about going to grad school next year. I looked at the universities nearby in OH and couldn't find a program and decided, eh, oh well. But it is going to be weird not having another school year to look forward to. I'll actually be sad. I won't get to buy books again and I won't have the excitement of starting classes again. It's going to be kind of sad. It will definitely be an adjustment to say the least! I may even cry lol.

Wedding: Well the weekend went alright. There was some drama the ensued...of course. Things did get resolved thankfully and we were all able to get past it. Hopefully. I did and Jon did at least, so that's what matters most. It was great seeing him, his family and my family though! I have missed them all! My parents were really funny lol, it's awesome how well they all four get along! It makes life so much easier! But yeah, I got my dress! It is gorgeous! AHHHH! lol I cannot wait to put it on again! I miss it :-( lol We also got the cake ordered and it will look and taste AWESOME! I'm so happy that we got the place we did! The venue was pretty and classic. We'll make it look even better for the wedding! Everything will turn out great...we just need to get past all the planning bumps lol.

All in all, it has been crazy busy! So tonight I'm taking a step back and relaxing...okay, I did that last night too. Oops. At least I got some stuff accomplished today! I answered another question for my marketing project, I read 10 pages in my marketing chapter, I went to work...yeah that's about it lol. Hopefully I'm more productive tomorrow. I need to find my beginning of the year motivation again. I think I might have pushed myself so hard that I burnt myself out for the rest of the semester. Oops. Can't do anything about it now. I just need to keep pushing forward!
