Sleeping In! (086/365)

Day 86 Happy: A not-so-bad schedule!

When I signed up for classes, and knew that I was either going to be working or going to school (or both) seven days a week, memories of my five week internship came to mind. I was exhausted every single day, and ended up getting very cranky towards the end of it. Three and a half months of the Fall semester was sure to be worse.

What I failed to realize is that I actually get to sleep in a little bit during the week this semester! I have to do a lot of running around, but I don't have to be somewhere every morning by 9 am or earlier. Today, I didn't have to be at work until Noon! And tomorrow, I don't have to be in class until 11. Thursday, glorious Thursday, I don't have to go to work until 2 pm! I worked out my schedule so that I could go in a little later on Marc's day off so we could spend some time together.

I think I will make it (with my sanity) through this semester, after all!

Back To School! (085/365)

Day 85 Happy: The beginning of the semester

Okay, this is a little nerdy, but I actually kinda like school... most of the time. As this is my LAST. SEMESTER. EVER. I figured, I may as well do my best to enjoy it. Today was the first day back to school, and I had three classes. I am excited about one, okay with another one, and pretty sure I am going to hate the third, but it's only three months, right?

I have two more classes to go to... one on Wednesday night and another Friday morning. It is going to be a very busy semester between school, work and the wedding, but it will all be worth it when I graduate in December!

Productive Days! (084/365)

Day 84 Happy: Productive Sundays
I love when work is slow on Sundays. I get to use the time in between customers to get things done. Today, I have already written four posts for Get Up and Out! I want to get as many as I can all queued up so that when school gets really busy, I will have some ready to go. Here are some of the stories that I have written recently for Get Up and Out!

Check them out and let me know what you think! It's only just after 2:30, so I am looking forward to the rest of my productive day... or going home to take a nap. We'll see.

Bonus Happy: Today is my wonderful Mommy's 25th Birthday (again)! I love you Mommy, and hope you have a fantastic day!

Vampires Suck! (083/365)

Day 83 Happy: Stupid funny movies

Being the silly girl that I am, of course I am into the Twilight saga. I read the books before the movies came out, and really enjoyed them. When the movies came out, I was a little disappointed at the quality, but watched them obsessively nonetheless. After all, they are fun.

When I saw that Vampires Suck was coming out in theaters, I definitely wanted to see it. Marc and I went with my friend Miranda tonight and watched it. It was actually pretty funny, (or as my little brother Jacob, who went and saw it last night, too, said "It was HILARIOUS.") The storyline follows the first three movies of the Twilight saga pretty well (in 1 hour and 20 minutes, mind you), but with much more hilarity.

If you are into the Twilight saga (or are looking to make fun of it) I would definitely go and see Vampires Suck.

Sidenote: I personally find the Edward Sullen of Vampires Suck to be cuter than Rob Pattinson's Edward. What do you guys think?

Bonus Happy: My wonderful fiance bought me flowers and had them delivered to my work today. They are absolutely beautiful. I am so lucky to have such a sweet man who wants to marry me!

Farewell to Summer (082/365)

Day 82 Happy: Theme Park Day!

Since school starts on Monday, Marc and I decided to use our last day off together until sometime in November to go to Universal Studios in Orlando. We had to stop by the Volkswagen dealership and get the door lock on my new car fixed first, and then we were on our way.

We started the day at Universal Studios, and rode a whole bunch of rides. Marc beat me in the Men In Black game, even though I got then 100,000 point bonus for hitting the red button at the right time. We rode the Mummy ride, and the new Rip Rockin' Roller coaster (or something to that effect), which was really awesome because you get to choose your own music to listen to while you are riding the ride. However, my poor tummy just isn't what it used to be, and we had to take breaks in between roller coasters so that I didn't barf.

After we got done at Universal, we headed over to Islands of Adventure. We got to ride the Dr. Doom's Free Fall twice in a row because there was nobody in line when we got done the first time. It is my favorite kind of ride... straight up and down, with not loopy-loops. It makes my tummy flip without making me feel pukey. We finished up the day by going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We were so exhausted by this point, we just walked around long enough to visit a few stores and get a butterbeer from the Hog's Head.

It was an awesome day, and a great way to celebrate the end of summer. After this weekend, school starts and the countdown to the wedding really begins. I like the stress, though, and am looking forward to my classes and the wedding getting closer.
