Day 97 Happy: Not being at work.
Today was the worst day of work I have had in a long time. It was ridiculous and I was cranky and I woke up 10 minutes after I was supposed to be at work, and I didn't get to eat anything until almost 3:00 and it was just BAD.
But now I am home, and not at work, and that's really the best thing ever.

Nerdy-ness (096/365)
Day 96 Happy: Ethics Bowl
I like school. That may make me a little nerdy, but I don't care. I am really excited about my Ethics class this semester. It is really interesting, and half of our class participates in an Ethics Bowl in November. I signed up for the Ethics Bowl section of the class, and got in! Today we picked teams, and my team is awesome. I think we are going to have a lot of fun together (and maybe even win!). I signed up to be a presenter for the competition (gasp!) which will be hard, but it will help me to work on my public speaking skills, and it will be really good for a resume (especially if we win!).
Maybe it's just because it is my last semester, but I am suddenly really concerned with padding my resume. I am determined to get published for my Neighborhood News Bureau class, and I would like to try and get published for my Magazine and Feature Writing class ... and possible Sports Journalism, but we'll see about that one. I think Ethics Bowl will look pretty good on my resume... at the very least we will have fun!

Plane Ticket! (095/365)
Day 95 Happy: I'm leaving... on a jet plane!
The original plan for my wedding dress was for my Mom to come down here with my sister and go shopping with me. However, with my Dad being out of town a lot for work and the boys being ridiculously busy with school and extra-curriculars, she is finding it hard to find time to get away. So, she bought a plane ticket for me to go up to Georgia instead! I am only going to be up there for about 28 hours, but we will have enough time to go shopping and to maybe even go to a baseball game! Either way, it will be nice to be able to spend time with the family, and I'm always okay for an excuse to fly. And I can't WAIT to get my wedding dress. I definitely have to eat healthy and work out a lot until then. Haha!

Cancelled Classes! (094/365)
Day 97 Happy: (Almost) no school
On Wednesdays, I have three classes... Magazine and Feature Writing, Neighborhood News Bureau and my night class, Sports Journalism. Today, my Magazine and Feature Writing class class was cancelled because our teacher (who just happens to be the Food and Travel Editor for the St. Petersburg Times... BONUS HAPPY. She's the nicest lady ever and even edited a story via e-mail that I submitted to her) is out of town for a conference. Also, my NNB class was a "working field day" today, so we didn't have to physically go to class. I still had to go to Sports Journalism, which is a pretty interesting class, but it didn't start until 6! Marc had the day off, too, so we sat around all day, watching The Office, which I am kind of obsessed with right now. We started watching it less than a week ago, and are already almost done with season three. It is so funny! Overall, it was a good day.
Bonus (another) Happy: Today is the first of September, which is AWESOME, because it means that Fall is almost here. The first day of Fall is the 22nd, and I can't wait to get out all of my fally decorations and make my house look pretty then!

Wedding Stuff!! (093/365)
Day 93 Happy: Flowers and fun!
My bridesmaid Angela and I never seem to have time off at the same time to do wedding stuff. We have been trying to go to Ikea for at least three weeks now, but our schedules never seem to mesh. We planned our trip to Ikea for tonight, and we finally got to go. We picked out some really pretty fake flowers for the wedding bouquets. In general, I don't really like fake flowers. However, real bouquets start around $150, and that is just ridiculous for something that is going to die within a few days, agreed? We got really nice cream colored roses and little purple daisy-type flowers, and I even decided to go with the fake flowers and save a little extra money. With all of the flowers, plus some other random odds and ends, we spent less than $135, way less than that cost of one real bouquet. We are going to have a little bouquet-making party, maybe Sunday, and get them done and out of the way. Little things are coming together and the wedding is almost all the way planned!

Anticipation! (092/365)
Day 92 Happy: Next Monday
Today was only the beginning of the second week of school for this semester, and I am already tired. When I got my schedule for the semester, I thought that I wasn't going to have a day off until a few days before the wedding, but I forgot about Labor Day! I have next Monday off of school AND work! I get to have a whole day off! I get to have a day off in October, too. My friend (and bridesmaid) Sarah is going to be running in a Disney Marathon (or maybe half-marathon, I can't remember... some sort of race, anyway). She has spent the last few years getting into really good shape and looks awesome. It is in a night race, so we will be heading over to Orlando to watch her run, and then we are staying in Orlando until the next morning to go to Universal Studios with Sarah and her sister Taylor. They haven't been to Harry Potter World yet, so that will be really fun! Even though I don't get to have many days off this semester, looking forward to them makes them so much better. I literally can't wait until Labor Day. Marc and I are definitely going to have to find something awesome to do!

Early Work Day! (091/165)
Day 91 Happy: Marc coming home early!
Sundays are generally my favorite work day of the week. I get to go in for a short shift at work; I don't have to be in until ten and then I get off at around 3:30. I still have most of my day to go home and hang out for a while, but I usually have to do that all by myself. Marc had requested to get off a few hours early today, which was a surprise to me! We got to spend the afternoon together, which is kind of a treat lately. I made a delicious pot of chili and we just lounged around the house. I'm such an old grandma, but I love to be able to cook and hang out at home for an evening!
