weather

Today is basically the best weather EVER in my opinion. It's about 84 degrees and it feels amazing. It is not too hot and not too cold, just right. It amazing. It's crazy how weather can change your mood so much. I feel so productive today. This weather makes me wanna do good for myself. I went to class then my room mate, Kayla, and I went and looked at apartments. We thought that we fell in love with an apartment yesterday but we still wanted to look. The other apartment was perfect location but the lady was pretty much a jerk. We decided since it was beautiful out and we wanted to look more just in case there was somethin else that caught our attention. We decided to look at another TLC property because those are the nicest. It is really far out on the north side but it was the best price,size, and paid for a lot. That is the new favorite. We found another awesome one but it is only for peole of twenty one years or older. They were really nice but jerks for that! But the new choice is Watermill Park. I just want to find an apartment now and put the deposit down so I know I have one and don't have to stress. I stress way too much as it is. Now we are thinking about working out because we have been really healthy today and want to keep the trend going. I really need to do homework though. I have quite a bit and one is a huge assignment. I hate that. Public speaking is kicking my butt. But after my speech on Monday, I am officially done with public speaking. It is my only B and I hate it. I don't think I can really get a A or C in that class either way so it seems pointless. But I'm going to do my best to do well in that class.

eventful little day

First off, today is supposed to be the excitement of my week. I am finally off completely. I am off from not only school, but work also. I have been loaded with homework and hours at work so I needed this. It started off amazing. I woke up bright and early at eight o clock. I went to my work out with Ernie. Only two other girls showed up but it was fine anyway. We did the dirty five hundred. The dirty five hundred is where we did five sets of one hundred ab work outs. I actually did the best out of the other two girls there which was nice. I am sure that I will be feeling that tomorrow morning for sure but right now I feel fine. After my work out, my mom calls me and tells me that she is in Strafford and about to get on sixty-five. I got so excited because I love my mom to death. I rush home and change. She picks me up from my apartment and we go to the mall. We mainly do shopping for my brother's birthday. I did get some jeans I have been eyeing for a while and two tank top shirts. My mom gets some amazing but expensive make up from Clinique. We are very hungry by now and get lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Lunch was good and it is now time for my mom to head home. I go home and put my laundry in the washer. While my clothes are in the washer, Kayla and I meet up with our friends to look at some duplexes. It was like a sign from God. Even though the duplex's were out of our league, we looked at the apartments next door and fell in love. I would have never found that perfect place if it wasn't for joining our friends. After that, I put my clothes in the dryer and go see my boyfriend. We got in a big fight which is odd since I was having a great day. I'm sure things will blow over though. They always do. Now I am starting my homework and then I plan on tanning and working out. When I am done working out, I will probably do more homework and get ready for bed.

What am I excited for?

What am I excited for? The main thing that I am excited for is VACATION. I can not wait to be in Florida for a week just laying out on the beach and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. I can not wait to be completely off work for five whole days. I am excited to have a chance to clear my head and not worry about anything besides what I am going to eat for dinner. The main thing that I am excited for is summer for general. I honestly do not think that I will be able to honestly relax until summer. Right now I have to stress about working, working out, friends, family, and school. My body and mind is wearing down. Even though I will still have to work a lot and take two classes during the summer, it will seem like nothing compared to what I am doing now. The most recent thing that I am excited about though is Tuesday. The main reason is that I am finally off. I have no school or work. It starts off awesome because I get to meet with my personal trainer and work out. I need to work out. I feel lazy because I have not had a chance to work out and on Saturday when I went to the work out, it was canceled. Another huge reason that I am excited for Tuesday is that my mom is coming to see me. My mom and I are seriously best friends. We are going to go shopping and then we are going to grab lunch so by the time that she leaves me, I can still get what I need done. I need to start my outline for public speaking and do laundry. Basically, I am excited that I have things to look forward to and things are looking brighter.

Relieved

During the past semester, I have thought about one thing and one thing only about my sociology test. That one thing is my research project journal. It is worth more then half of our grades. I had to do well on that to get the grade that I wanted in the class. I really wanted an A so I could keep my spot on the Dean's list. Well, I have been stressing about this paper for a couple months now and it was finally due on April 10. This project consisted of us doing at least eight volunteer hours at a nonprofit organization. I did mine at the YMCA. After we did our eight hours. we then had to write a paper telling about hour experiences and connecting them with the sociological perspective. My paper ended up being thirteen pages. That is a huge paper to me and I'm not used to writing that much. I was pretty nervous how tough she would grade but I was pretty sure that I would get a decent grade. In my opinion, I thought it was pretty well written. Well today, I went into my sociology class to see that is was canceled but she got me and told me to wait. I ended up getting my paper today. I looked down to see 110 out of 105. I was ecstatic. I got the highest grade in the class. I got all my points plus five. This is a huge relief, especially since I already have a A in the class by doing well on the tests. In her class there is no homework, just tests and this huge assignment. I can now start to calm down and relax in her class. All I need to do now is keep doing what I'm doing and study for her tests and I will be alright. Today is a good day.

The Future

The future is one thing I don't especially like thinking about. I have enough stress as it is so I don't feel the need to add another stresser on my shoulders. I wish I could just live day by day instead of worrying about what is to come next. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't organized. The main subject that stresses me out about the future is what I want to do as an occupation when I graduate. Right now my major is education. I want to be an elementary teacher. I bounce around with what age I want to teach and the pro's and con's of each. I then think I would also like to do something with business because I was always the top in my marketing classes in high school. But then I bounce off more ideas. My favorite subjects in school are sociology and psychology. I just don't know what occupations I could do that I would like doing for the rest of my life. I don't want to switch occupations. I want to pick one and keep one. I want to do it so I can retire early with good money. I would love to be a secretary at a high school because I actually love busy work like doing attendance and things like that. I think they don't make as much money though. I am planning on moving back to Waynesville, where I grew up. I loved growing up there and I think it is a great area to start a family. I also use that as the basis of my occupation. There is not a huge variety of choices in Waynesville. There is teaching, owning a business, being an engineer on the army base, or getting a minimum wage job. The last option is not a choice really. I think teaching would be ideal but I have no experience with children so I am nervous about that. I also think it would be the funnest to teach. I wouldn't mind being a speech therapist or reading therapist because I know waynesville school's are always needing those but my speech isn't the best. I was thinking about being a nutritionist because I am very interested in nutrition. I don't know. I should be able to figure something out in the next three years of my life.

blank

You ever wake up in the morning and just have that blank feeling? I did today. I woke up feeling emotionless. I just knew I had things to do. I woke up at eight this morning and threw on some close and went to Ernie's gym and got our work out. It was boxing. I'm not a big fan of boxing but that is probably just because I am not very good at it. It's really hard from me and I hate the fact of wearing some one's old gloves and wrist wraps. I can still smell that horrible stench. I then have to go back to my apartment. I was exhausted and had all the plans of getting some of the huge homework assignments that I have due on Monday. That didn't work out as planned. I got back and instead lied down thinking I might just get a quick twenty minute power nap. Well, that power nap turned into a couple hours. I woke up and was already stressed. Why didn't I get anything done? I still needed to take my boyfriend back to the dorms before I left for my eight hour shift. I am about burnt out from working. Working full time is not my thing. I'm into the whole twenty-four hours thing. I hope they hire another cashier and it can be like that because all of the cashiers agree that we want less hours. The cashiers at my work are all full time students. After work, the new plan is to do the homework that I was supposed to do earlier. I was planning on starting my english paper or my public speaking outline but instead I have to do a different english assignment that I put off that is due tomorrow. I am so ready for summer. Even though my summer will probably be really busy, It will still be nice to not have to drive to campus and just take two online classes. Plus, summer is just an awesome and happy time. I'm mostly ready for our vacation to Florida so I can completely relax with nothing in my way.

Eggheads vs. Smarties

I definately chose the wrong side of the arguement. Hershey's honestly doesn't have much benificial about their chocolate besides the fact that the chocolate is tasty. They use palm oil. Palm oil is bad for hour enviroment. There is nothing nutritional coming out of the Hershey's milk chocolate egg's. If it was atleast dark chocolate, we could find some possitives, such as antioxidants. The chocolate can melt. It does nothing good for your body. Who would have thought that eating a certain candy from the teacher's basket would have put me in this delima. I have looked over about ten different websites and have found no advantages to eating milk chocolate then smarties. Smarties is also not good for you in any way. Pretty much all candy is not going to benifit your health. I guess if we were going to try to get points, we could talk about how there is three grams of protien per serving and eight percent of calcium in each serving. I can honestly say I have never thought about this issue nor have I ever thought about writing about this issue. I kind of like it. It's random. Oh, I found something else. The egg's are made twelve percent with milk. Your body needs dairy. We have a little more variety in ingredients while smarties are basically just compressed sugar with UNnatural flovorings. There has been research that eating chocolate before a test will actually improve test grades. I think that is the same with any candy but since I can't find any supporting information, I am going to use that for my arguement. Chocolate is supposed to improve memory. Chocolate makes better gift's. There is a reason why people don't give out Smarties heart's for valentines day. The eggs also contain carbs which can be broken down into energy. Even though none of these facts are a reliable reason why one candy is better then the other, i would chose the egg. It is just simply better. The end.
