Relaxing at work

Sounds impossible.  However, on Wednesdays this semester I work 3:30 to 12:00 at a tiny convenience store on campus by my apartment.  All I really have to do for 8 hours is sit around on my computer and ring up the occasional customer.  It is lovely.  My other work days are quite a bit more busy and hectic because I am at one of our bigger stores.  Work is actually the peaceful part of my day on Wednesday.  I have 3 classes before work and my last class ends at 3:45.  So, by the time I'm out of my last class, I'm already 15 minutes late for work.  Oh well...that's how they scheduled me.  We'll see how it works out. 

Today I started trying to eat healthy again.  I bought $85 worth of healthy foods last night.  It is definitely time to get back on track.  Last year I lost about 30 lbs in about 3 or 4 months.  But....I gained almost all of it back.  I've kind of had several doubts that I can do that well again this time.  I worked HARD HARD HARD at it last time and it kicked my butt...but I also loved it.  I'm trying to stay positive so that I can do it again...and keep it off.  I plan to start tomorrow's post with my current weight and update it everyday on here to keep myself accountable. 

Freeeezing

It. Is. So. Damned. Cold. Outside.  BRRRRRR.  I hate going to class in snow and ice.  Second day of classes went well.  Then work.  Then class all day and work all night tomorrow.  So much FUN! 

I guess the highlight of my day was getting to see my lil sis (from Big Brothers Big Sisters) today for the first time since I left for xmas break.  I got her a Tshirt in Florida and she really liked it.  We read some books together in the library.  I'm trying to help her learn to read better, I'm not really sure how to go about that though.  I've never really tried teaching a 7 year old much of anything.  I guess I figure practice makes perfect.  We'll get it down.

Off to bed so I won't be exhausted tomorrow!

Oops

Ok, so I missed a few days...almost a week.  It was busy and stressful for the most part.  We finished up in Florida after a couple bad nights of M blacking out from Four Lokos.  What a pain.  Anyway, then we headed back home on Saturday and I drove back to school on Sunday.  I made it back just in time for some pretty bad snow and ice.

Classes began today...oh what fun!  I've been sick and I woke up late so I looked like a hot mess all day.  After my 3 classes I finally showered and then went to work.  I'm a little upset about the schedule they gave me, so we'll see how everything works out.  But I can't complain about tonights shift too much...one of the new guys is pretty easy on the eyes. 

Well I think its bed time (AKA NyQuil time) and then some more classes to come tomorrow.  I'm gonna get better at posting everday, I promise.

Long Night

So I`m a little bit late with my post but oh well. We just got back from johnathon's pub. Good times. Awesome place. They don't carry sweet and sour mix, instead they fresh sqeeze oranges, lemons, and limes! Coolest thing ever!

Sand Between My Toes

The weather sure is nice in Florida! 74 degree weather beats 40 degree weather anyday. I'm a lil grumpy from lack of sleep, but that should all be better tomorrow. As soon as our flight landed we drove from Daytona Beach to Cocoa Beach, got to our condo, walked on the beach for a lil bit and then took a short nap :). We just got back from driving down the coast a ways and now I'm thinking its bed time.

Leaving on a jet plane

Well, soon anyway.  My mother, my best friend, and I will be heading out to catch a plane to Florida in about 6 hours.  Its pretty nice to spend the last week of my winter break on the beach.  We're all gonna be so exhausted when we get there though....that's what you get when you take such an early flight, especially when you have to drive a few hours to get to the airport. 

Today has been spend getting everything prepared for us to leave.  Packing, cleaning, and making sure the 16yr old brother knows the rules while we're gone...yeah right!  I'm so super excited to be spending a week with my best friend, we'll call him "M" for now.  M has been going through a lot of crap lately so I decided to pay for him to come to Florida with us and take a break for a few days.  I know he appreciates it a lot.

Ahhh anyway, time for some last minute prep and then perhaps a small nap before we leave.  I love vacation!

Intro

Well here it is....my first post of the year.  I decided that I would challenge myself this year and try to keep up a blog (a post per day) as well as creating a photo-a-day album on Flickr.  At some point, I will probably end up creating a link to my Flickr album on here, but not today. 

Today is 1/1/11!  I think that counts for a major wish at 11:11...don't you?  I had a good New Year's Eve and so I slept throught the a.m. version, but I successfully made a wish a few minutes ago.  Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! 

I've decided to make a couple of new year's resolutions this year...usually I fail to do so.  So this year:

I am going to limit myself to 2 cans of soda per week.
I am going to drink
I am going to exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 days per week.
I am going to do 30 minutes of homework each weekday.
I am going to save 10% of all of my paychecks.

That's all that I have thought of so far anyway.
