New look coming?
I’m so excited! 
With the help of my fantastic, talented brother, at some point, I’ll finally have my own custom, pretty blog design. Love you, Mike. Can’t wait to work with you to make this place look…like ME.
I have no clue when it will happen, folks. Just know that it will be here at some point!
Now I must surf the internet and blogs I like for elements that I love so I can have them incorporated into my new design….Gosh…what colors should I do?
I’m thinking…greens?
Any tips? Colors? Ideas? Shout them out!
Don’t stop til you get enough
I have to read 103 pages this weekend for class. 103 textbook pages. Which means that its maybe 10 point font…Small! And it’s disbursed amongst 4 giant ass text books, all about 6-8 pounds a piece. Meaning, I’m glad I didn’t plan to go out of town this weekend, because holy HELL. That’s a lot to take on a road trip. I can’t even carry all four books at once.
Then AFTER I read those, I have 3 articles to read out of my coursepack.
THEN, I have to take a quiz online.
Did I mention that while the second summer semester has officially begun, that this class doesn’t even meet for the first time until Wednesday? As in July 1. As in, HOLY HELL THE TEACH IS CRAZY.

I feel better now. I love to rant. And I have missed ranting on here. In fact, it’s a real outlet for my anxiety, me thinks. Seriously. While I took my two week break? I had so many panic attacks it was insane. It also could be because a lot was going on, but eh. Let’s just say it was the blog saving me the whole time.

You didn’t think that I would seriously do nothing but homework this weekend, did you? Because I didn’t. Nope. In fact, I have had a nice few days. We went and saw Transformers on Thursday night. Then on Friday night, went out to eat with a friend. Good times. Then we packed up the car, went to St. Joe, to Lake Michigan, and met up with my brother and sis-in-law, spent a few hours at the beach. VERY NICE. We stayed a couple of hours, got great sun, and then came home and ate junk food (well, kind of. If you consider a naked burrito junk. The whole thing is healthy, down to the beans, rice, grilled meat, salsa, guac (just a tablespoon or so of that)…Crap..I did have sour cream though).
I’m stuffed. Trying to do homework and I found this as an escape.

And all day, I’ve had Michael Jackson’s song in my head…”Don’t Stop til You Get Enough” or something like that. I’ve got the Number One’s CD and have had it on rotation, which drives Dan insane, because he has never been the biggest MJ fan.
To this day, I still don’t understand the words to that song. I always sing the wrong ones. I just looked up the lyrics RIGHT NOW and looking them over….they don’t even look familiar. Looks like I’ve been singing the wrong ones for way too long.

And…I’ve had enough now. I’m sure you have, too. I’m kind of all over the place in this one. Again.

10…and other things
Do you realize its been ten days since I last posted? I didn’t! I almost forgot about my blog until someone commented on my last entry today. I didn’t completely forget. But it certainly hasn’t crossed my mind.
So…I promised I would be back after finals…and I’m going to do the very best I can. Another hectic class began today and while we don’t meet for the first time until Wednesday, we have been given hundreds of pages to read and a quiz to do online before we even come to class. My entries will be short and sweet, but I’m going to keep on trucking, because I’m afraid to fall off the bandwagon completely.
Here are a few things you missed out on this week while I wasn’t posting:
- The gym at the college is free, but classes? Are not. So I cancelled my weight watchers subscription, and bought a semester pass for all the classes I want. I talked to someone who knows a tad bit more about nutrition than I…and it turns out, that as much as I was working out? Weight Watchers doesn’t even take that into account and my body? May have gotten stuck in a plateau…Perhaps why I have been stuck at this weight. In the first two weeks of going back on it, I had lost 6-7 pounds. And then I just STOPPED. WW had taken points away from me and it was a big confusing mess. No more tears. Just going back to tracking regular old calories, carbs, fat, protein, etc. And scheduling workouts.
- I’m back on Prozac. Big surprise. Let’s just say that I have been stressed out of my gourd. I was off of it nearly two months. I’m pretty proud of that. But I think that while I’m in school? I might stay on it. To be honest…I think I gained weight after I stopped taking it. I was stressed…I was emotionally eating and all that. Catch 22! Whatever, I needed to be back on it. Taking a xanax every day is not healthy.
- Had my second screening appointment for ADD/ADHD with some pompous ass-hole, that gave me this ridiculous battery/test thing. Seriously. Stupid. I think it was concentrated around, well, my concentration levels. What he failed to realize is that I do FINE in a quiet room. I also wasn’t feeling under pressure. However, stick me in a room where there are things all around me buzzing or distracting me and making me go “OH! I have to do this an this too…” well, then there’s a problem. He has to write his little pompous ass report to the psychiatrist and I can’t wait to give that guy a piece of my mind about this completely worthless middle man.
- I was awarded a graduate assistantship! I didn’t get one last year, though I had gotten interviewed for it. I applied for this one two months ago and just assumed I hadn’t gotten it. However, received an email yesterday from my advisor asking me to meet with her today about me possibly taking an assistantship this fall. I guess I didn’t put two and two together. I thought I was going in for an interview. Or something. Nope! Itwas a meeting telling me completely about the role and offering it to me. It’s not alot, but I’m awarded 3 credit hours of tuition AND a salary for each fall and spring semester. Its really…a not huge amount. But between the tuition and salary…with me working 10 hours a week? I’ll be making…in theory $25 an hour. Not shabby. Sounds like a lot. But totally isn’t. It is, however, the extra we really needed.
Well, I’m off to bed. More in the next day or two. I have lots to discuss…
PS: RIP Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett….I’m especially blown away by the news of Michael Jackson. Just. Wow.
