The fact that I haven't blogged in such a long time, should give you all a huge mental image of what my life has been like lately. I am constantly trying to get *something* done that I am also constantly putting said things to the backburner. I'm actually extremely overwhelmed at the moment. To make it quick and simple, here's a list of the mumbo-jumbo in my life:
- Grad School: If you recall, I mentioned (kicking and screaming) that I was back in grad school. Let's just say this semester is not my finest of achievements. We're given frequent tests in the class. Half of it (a free response question) is given to us to complete at home and bring it back. Our professor is pretty lenient on when things come back. Therefore, I haven't done ANY for this semester. This is obviously due to the fact that when I get home, I have 10,000 other things that I need to get done.
- Our New Home: I absolutely love it. It's 2 floors, so it really feels like we actually have a house of our own. Most of the time I forget that there's another tenant living below us. However, our sink in our kitchen is clogged and won't drain. I need to have our landlord come and unclog it. Why haven't I done this sooner, you ask? Because we haven't finished unpacking/organizing our place. There's literally stuff everywhere. This week is kind of shot to get it done because of the fact that I'm supposed to be studying for a Praxis test that I'm taking this Saturday. (See Below). BUT I am having people over next weekend, so everything must get done once I'm done with my test on Saturday. I don't want to look like "that tenant" even though I am... that tenant.
- Test Mentioned Above: So, I need to take the "General Science" and "Physics" Praxis tests. This Saturday I'll be taking the General Science. It includes: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Basically, I have this week to teach myself Earth Science, Biology, and Chemistry via CliffsNotes Quick Review books. Wednesday I have class. This is going to be a great week, I can feel it. (Insert sarcasm here)
- Second Job/Summer Job: The search as begun for a second job and a summer job. Finances are extremely tight right now. Anyone know of any leads?
- My Fat Ass: I'm officially at my highest weight. EVER. -sigh- I'm obviously not too pleased about this. I'm about 15lbs heavier than I was when I was at my heaviest a few years ago. Of course, a few years ago I also lost about 40lbs. So, I've pretty much gained 50lbs in the last 2 years. Now, I know you might think that I'm extremely excited over this, but no...surprise, I'm not. What am I going to do about this? Same thing I always do. I'll attempt to start a diet and exercise plan, and then eventually fail because I have no willpower. "Mish, you're being so negative" Shut up. I just know what to expect fromm myself.
- Step 1: What is my exercise plan? R and I took a trial kickboxing class. It really showed me how out of weight I am. I was struggling to keep up. I seriously felt so weak. R signed up right away. I think I'm going to sign up today. Now if I could only find my comfortable sneakers. Note to self: Don't go in the sneakers you wore last time. Those shoes are too small for your feet.
- Step 2: What is my diet plan? No idea. I'll probably just track what I eat on the LoseIt app on my iPhone and hopefully I can try and make some good decisions.
@!#!~~#$@# ANYWAY. I should probably get to studying before I need to educate the youth of America.
