General Awesomeness (053/365)

Day 53 Happy: I am DONE with Criminal Justice

I am so close to being done with summer classes I can taste it. Today, I planned on coming home and studying for 7 or 8 hours after work before taking my Criminal Justice exam online. I ended up coming home early from work, because I feel like the death. I didn't feel like doing anything, much less reading ridiculously boring essays and four chapters in my textbook.

So I didn't.

Screw this, I thought (well, something like that, but this blog is generally PG), I am just going to take the test without studying. It took me about 36 minutes to take my test, and I got an 86, my second highest grade out of four exams I have taken in the class. And now I'm done. Yayyy happy.

Tomorrow I will finish up with my Adolescent Literature class and I will have an ENTIRE MONTH with no school!!

Featured! (052/365)

Day 52 Happy: Being featured on my friend Kerry's blog!

My lovely British friend Kerry (seen below on her wedding day, while I was helping her into her dress in the friendliest fashion) has featured my blog on HER blog. Blog happy! She is a very talented writer (and actually gets paid to do it. Lucky little brat) and I am very honored that she was inspired by my little blog.

Countdown! (051/365)

Day 51 Happy: One week until my vacation!!!

I will leave for Georgia a week from today! I will be at the airport when my sister comes home from Italy, get to see my parents, and hang out with my brothers for a few days. Not only will it be nice to get away from work, internship and homework for a couple of days, but I really miss my family and love it when I get to spend time with them.

Now, all I have to do is make it through this week!

Staying In! (050/365)

Day 50 Happy: Having a nap, movies, and dinner at home.

I was so exhausted today. It was an extremely long day, and all I wanted to do when I came home from work was just hang out with Marc. I got to do just that! We made home made Chinese (vegetarian for me!) and watched some of The Lord of the Rings before I passed out on the couch. It was exactly what I needed.

Only about a week until my mini-vacation!!

Day Date! (049/365)

Day 49 Happy: Seeing my Marc in daylight!

Between my real job, my internship and homework, I don't get to see much of my fiance at all, especially not in the daytime. Usually on Sundays, I work from 10-3:30 and he doesn't get home until 8:30 in the evening. A couple of weeks ago, he requested to get off at 2:00 today so that we could spend the afternoon together. It was so nice. We ended up going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (again) so that I could pick up some trinkets for my brothers and sister to give to them when I go visit at the end of the month. We had a blast, rode a few rides and hung out for the entire afternoon.
