One of Those Weeks

Well, it's just been one of those weeks, and it's only Tuesday!! Yikes. Yesterday was just a bad day in general, and then at work I had to be a cashier! We were so slow that I think I had about 20 customers in 5 hours. Considering that it took about 2 minutes on average, we're talking about a slow night! But luckily we did get out right on time, so I could rush home to do...homework!

So, I spent about an hour and half reading last night after I got home, only to discover this morning that my teacher had cancelled class. Even though I'm glad to be caught up, I would have like to catch a few more zzz's. I haven't been sleeping too well as of late. Then I tried to do reading for my other class when I figured out that I am missing one of the books I need for this semester! Whoops. Luckily, I have a few more days to get that before we have to read out of that book again, and there are plenty of people that I can borrow another one from.

Finally today, I don't have very much homework, just taking notes for Peer Teaching for my class at 2 tomorrow. So, I think I'll watch the winter premiere of Greek on Hulu.com tonight, since I missed it last night because of work.

Hopefully this week starts looking up soon! Wish me luck!

New Semester

Well, the new semester has finally begun. Joy. I think my classes will be enjoyable but hard. I'm taking The American Revolution, Jane Austen and the Brontes, Reading In the Content Area, Practicum II, Counseling Theories and Methods, Methods in Experimental Psychology, annnd Walk/Jog for Fitness. Personally I feel that walk/jog is going to be intense. I may not survive.

Speaking of exercising, my roommate DB found a really fun one. It's Cardio Ballroom with Julianne...it's pretty fun actually. I'm not really coordinated enough for it to really look like I'm doing the cha cha, but I feel that any exercise is a step forward.

I made tacos for dinner tonight. They were pretty good, except that Mexican food is so darn piddly. I feel like you need 8000 spoons and bowls for everything that you need. Oh well, at least it'll last me for about 4 meals.

Another great thing that we are doing in my apartment is we are making a wall called the "Wish Wall"..All last semester one of the walls in our living room was bare because we couldn't figure out what we wanted to put on it. Well, now when we find things in magazines that we want, we tear them out and put them on the wall. So far, we have engagement rings that are supposed to match our astrological sign, wedding dresses, and I'm putting the really pretty pictures from my tear of calendar of Italy in a collage. Can you guess that we may watch a lot of wedding shows?
