Getting it together.

It has been so long since I've updated. I need to take more care of this blog!

I've decided to run a 5k the day after my birthday- April 14th. That is roughly five weeks away. I need to buckle down on my 'training.' I haven't been very committed to it. So far I can get to 3.77 miles in 60 minutes. I really bad want to finish the 5k in under 36 minutes. With the 60 minute time I was jogging and walking. In five weeks I'm hoping to be able to jog/run the entire thing. Even today I feel like I'm able to walk faster.

I did work out today. I felt great. I used to not appreciate having a workout buddy, but I really do love it. I walked with Jori for about two miles and then we did some weight machines. I feel great. Actually, before I went I was feeling really sick, like I was going to throw up. I've come to the conclusion that it is because of this energy stuff I take and I get sick feeling if I don't use up the energy, like if I just lounge around. I don't feel sick at all any more!

I found out that I got a 91 on my Statistics test! :) wOOT! I'm doing well in all my classes so far, however I'm worried about my upcoming Accounting test.

This week I need to focus on my Macroeconomics class! I have a test on Thursday. I also have a Speech presentation on Thursday that I need to work on. Well, that stresses me out a little!

Today I went to Wal-Mart after finding out that I had quite a bit of money, well, more than I thought! :) I bought some primer, which I read is really helpful. I got a redness reducing one. My skintone is naturally really red. So, hopefully that helps! I also got some new under eye concealer. I don't actually own any normal concealer though. I want to buy some berry coloured lip stick, but nothing really caught my eye. Finally I bought two magazines, All You and Family Circle. I have a magazine weakness.

I'm rereading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. That is seriously my all-time favorite book. I think it is a bit funny that I'm in my last year as a teen and this feels like the one time that I'm getting my act together.

Here's the plan...

I have tons of homework to do. To be honest, I am procrastinating by typing this. I have a ten page paper, a five page paper, three accounting assignments, a case study (three to four pages), 100 quizzes, 20 online tests, 5 online exams, extra credit surveys, AAUW meetings, and final exams in four classes. Then I have work. :( I have to get half of that done this week because my boyfriend said he would come visit me if I did. :) So I have to!!

I really miss him and I really want him to come. Plus, my roommate is having her ex come up and some friend and maybe her new boytoy. I just don't want to be around all that. ICK!

To help me 'de-stress' I want to do my nails in a holiday way! I haven't decided what though. I'll get back to you on that.... With pictures.

Ugh, I cannot stop Drake's "Marvin's Room" from continuously replaying in my head. I'm loving Drake's voice this week. Almost addicted...

Well, I'm going to start my accounting assignments...

Late Night

Pictures of the pumpkin I made for Halloween!

I'm a little peeved at my roommate right now, but let's not dwell on that.

I just finished doing my accounting homework which is due on Friday. Yay for not doing it the morning it is due! :) I feel quite please with myself.

On Tuesday I want to the school's casino night. It was a learning experience. I went with Patricia. We ate at Johnny Rockets first and then went over. They had food there! Dang it! I missed out on a free dinner night. I'll have to remember that for next time. The night ended with an auction for all kinds of prizes including a Wii and an iPad. I used to not care for iPads, but now that some book publishers are coming out with study material apps for iPads I want one! Haha. I'm so fickle!

I'm still working on my schedule for Spring Semester. I was going to try and do only Tuesday and Thursday, but I realized that regardless of what days I have class, I'll still have to work sometime. So, by only going to classes on Tuesday and Thursday that means I'll be swamped those days because all the tests and homework due dates will fall on those two days. Spencer helped me decide that I should at least do Monday through Thursday and then I can try and keep my Friday off from everything.

It is 4:00am! I'm tired, but I just don't want to go to bed! I have work tomorrow though, so I really should go. However, here are some more pictures of nails that I haven't posted.

Obviously glitter!

Heart tips.

Swirls... One of my favs!

My nails for halloween. I told people that the ghosts were souls from all the boys I dated. Don't mess with Lexy!

That's all for now! Bye!!

I saw Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain yesterday. He was very humorous and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it. His accent was a plus, too. :)

Last weekend I saw Paranormal Activity 3 with Spencer, Sasha, and Shelby. It was mediocre, but thinking back on it I realize that they are ALL mediocre. So, I suppose that that shouldn't be a surprise. We also went to the 13th Ward which was a spook walk.

Today is the 1st of November though. I need to start focusing on school and health. This week I am going to a wedding. So, yay! Haha, it'll be my first wedding except they aren't doing it the traditional way. So, I'll still be kind of clueless when it comes to that. :/ Oh well.

Today my plan is to study for my accounting test tomorrow and clean my room. That's about it really.

Today I took care of some of my homework stuff. Yay. I think I might get ahead tonight and do some more homework. I really should work ahead of schedule especially since I might not have internet at Spencer's right off that bat. I need to make sure that that won't kill my grades. Right now I have a 113 in my geography class. The class is really interesting. It makes me dream like crazy though. I want to help all the underdeveloped countries in Africa and learn Mandarin Chinese or move to Japan. Haha. :) I know... Chinese and Japanese are different, but yeah...

I just made a playlist for my boyfriend. So, when he comes I will download it on to his iPod and when he listens to it, he'll think of me. :) That's the plan anyway.

My dad wants me to clean the dining room. I don't know why he is being so adament that I do it. Actually, it is kind of bothering me. It isn't my mess. It is mom's and my sister's stuff. o.O He keeps giving me little suggestions of what to do with my free time and they all involve cleaning the dining room. Whatever.

I painted my nails today. They look lovely!

Also, did I mention that my mom got the cat a catnip plant? He loved it at first. I think he got a little sick of it though. Hopefully it keeps him out of her garden though. Haha, here's some pictures:

I don't think I've mentioned it, but his name is Thomas.

Sometimes we call him Monster.

He's my handsome lil man.

That's all for now!

Preparing for the weekend

Today I had an unusually busy day... As far as my days are concerned.

I went to the pool and tanned, read my geography chapter, cleaned the living room, did dishes, and cleaned the kitchen. I still need to clean the refridgerator though. That will be on my to-do list for tomorrow.

I also got some new books from the library the other day. Yay! :) I got a couple self-help books, one audio book, and one book that I've been dying to read for a while- Matched.

My mom got to learn how to use a cell phone today. Yay! Haha, she was so cute because she got all excited when a text came in or whatever. I think she get used to it very quickly.

Spencer also said that he got Sunday off to go rafting with my family. I'm super excited now. I'm happy that he will be able to get away from his two jobs. He definitely needs a break from all the crap they are putting him through at this time.

Right now I'm about to work on some more geography homework, so I should probably focus.

           Peace out girl scout!

Today I...

Played the Wii and watched a movie with my little sister. We played Mario Party 8 and she totally dominated. I mean she seriously won ALL of the stars. I felt a tad bit pitiful. :( Haha, then we cleaned up the house a little bit... Well, just my/her room, the living room and a bit of the dining room.

Then her and I watched Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black in it. I liked it. I mean, it was totally predictable, but it wasn't scary or sad. Haha. I needed a good happy movie! Cathlene had already saw it with my dad so she wasn't mad when I guessed everything out loud before it happened.

While 'cleaning' the dining room I went through some of the boxes of my clothes. Now I'll have more than a few shirts to pick from and I don't have to go crazy searching for underwear. That's a plus, right? Right now I'm going through the process of washing all my clothes. I don't know where I'm going to store it all, but I'll figure something out. Hopefully.

I also watched some videos of people clothing hauls, make-up hauls, and storage solutions. This made me want to think of cute ways to decorate my dorm come fall. I really like this bedding from Wal-Mart, but they don't have it in xl twin so I might buy it in a full size and just suck it up when it doesn't really fit.

Sorry the picture is kind of blurry. I cannot seem to be able to get a bigger, clear picture of the bedding. I'm so excited to move back into the dorm though! I just want to decorate! Haha. :)

I did my nails again, I'll update with pictures of that later. Oh, I also did some extra credit for my online Geography class. :) Starting off on the right foot. Heck yes. The class officially starts at 8:00AM today... So there are still about six more hours until I am an official student, but whatev!

I need to go change the loads of laundry and maybe clean the kitchen and go through some more clothes. I should go to bed because my Aunt Mellissa is coming tomorrow, but I'm a bit of a night owl lol.

Later Gators!
