Fooled

I like to fool myself into thinking that my body can handle 6 hours of sleep every night. But it really can't. I'm exhausted. Better take a nap before I go out tonight!

1500

I learned yesterday that one person affects about 1500 people every day. Whether it's through conversation or just simply walking by someone else or cutting someone off driving or anything like that.
That's a whole lot of people. Just something I thought was interesting to think about and take into consideration in how we act out our daily lives!

Ahh...

Nap Time is my favorite.

Refreshed... Rejuvenated

My Women's Retreat was so awesome this weekend. I went on Friday just feeling tired and stressed and overwhelmed and alot of other "ands".
But our Father is just so amazing. I feel so much better because of the peace that God has brought me. Besides that I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful ladies. There were a few younger girls from the college and young adult groups at church that I had the chance to meet and start to build relationships with. All of the women were so friendly and sweet. God is truly with these women and I am just excited to be a part of this church.
So basically, all that to say, praise God. I think alot of the women going up there needed to be rejuvenated. God answers prayer and that is exactly what happened. Thank you Father.

Quick Break

I just wanted to say hi really fast before I get back to finishing my paper.
I've had a super busy week, but it's been alot of fun. Monday and Tuesday Dana and Megan visited me and we did lots of fun random stuff. Beach, Hooters (hehe), shopping, and just hanging out.
Then my family came Wednesday and we went to Sea World and today they took me out to dinner before heading back home.
In between times I've been working on my paper, mainly at school during breaks. Or going to school earlier in the morning (I'm actually kind of proud that I managed to wake myself up).
I guess I'm almost done writing it. Maybe 3 or 4 more hours. Of course then I still have to revise it and make sure I've cited everything and all that fun stuff. But that really isn't that bad.
Mainly I'm just fighting bodily exhaustion. I should have the chance to take a pretty decent nap before I leave for Women's Retreat tomorrow. I'm really hoping a weekend away spending time with God will do me some good. I could really use the break.
In the next 2.5 weeks I have 4 tests and 2 projects. The week after that is finals, with 5 finals.
In 4 weeks that is 9 tests and 2 projects. Oh yes, and lets not forget the paper due tomorrow.
Yeah, the stress isn't going away any time soon.

So Burnt Out!

First of all, sorry the last few posts have been kind of depressing. My life really isn't depressing, just lately!
Anyway, I didn't want to say much more than I am just plain BURNT OUT. I thought I might get over it. But pretty much not for at least 5 more weeks when school ends. However then I have other stresses like making money and finding a place to live and summer school. Ah! I just want to curl up in a ball and get this huge weight lifted off my shoulders and get some sleep somewhere in there as well!

Paper

I'm really not enjoying writing this philosophy paper. I realized last night that it has been a long time since I've really had to write a paper. I've done alot of in class essays. And a 2 or 3 page paper here and there. But since coming to college I think this is my first 10-12 pager. I'm not sure how I've managed to be lucky and avoid it for so long!
Anyway though. I think I just want to go home already! I guess I'll just be writing my paper while I'm there because there is no way that I am going to finish it tonight. Hopefully I can at least finish researching and outlining everything I want to write about. That should help.
Then the hardest part will just be making it "creative". I'm planning on writing it as a dialogue between Socrates and Aristotle, since this is how Plato writes most of his works. Then it's just a matter of getting in all of the information somehow while still holding true to the style!
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I do really enjoy philosophy, just not so much this paper :(

Very Over School

Ok. This semester just needs to end right now. I'm very over it.
Alright, now that I'm done venting a little...
By Friday I should have a 10-12 page philosophy creative comparative analysis paper written. Wow. That was a mouthful. And I haven't started it yet. Technically it's not due until next Friday. However this Friday through Sunday I'm going home for Easter. Then Monday through Wednesday my friend Dana and her friend Megan are coming to visit from home. Wednesday and Thursday my family is coming to visit. So you see my dilemma. That Friday through Sunday I'm going on a women's retreat with church.
I have no time for life. At least I have a life, just no time for it!
And by the way did I mention I am very over school?

Forced to Catch Up.

I have learned something about my body. If I don't give it enough sleep, at one point it just rebels and forces me to sleep.
So today I somehow turned my alarm off instead of hitting the snooze. And slept in until 10:00, missing Sunday school, but still making it to the main service of church at least. Then I came home and an hour and a half later fell asleep until 5:00.
Man! I just hope I can still sleep tonight. Although the fact that I'm still tired makes me think I'll be okay!

If right now I could have anything I wanted...

I would choose a comfy pillow and my bed.

Time to Exist Again

Right now I pretty much couldn't be any more exhausted. School has been out of control! I had a midterm last night and 2 more today starting at 8am. Stats, Econ, and Accounting. So I've been studying like crazy for them!
Last night I almost pulled an all nighter, but decided around 4:45am that it would probably be more beneficial to get at least 1 or 2 hours of sleep, even though I still hadn't studied enough. I ended up getting a little less than 2, better than none I guess.
I did learn a couple of things about me and studying. Mainly, I have to go other places besides my apartment if I really want to get alot done. Yesterday I spent very close to 24 hours at school between class, work and studying in the library. It was definitely good though. Jenn joined me until we left around 2am, which helped me to focus as well.
On top of school it is Gradfest at work. 3 days (Tuesday-Thursday) of absolute madness in selling caps and gowns and all sorts of graduation products to graduating seniors. Meaning I'm working a little more than double what I normally work in a week. Then this Saturday is Open House for all the prospective freshmen. Another full day of work.
Anyway, there's my little random update since it's been awhile. I'm still at school until about 7:30. So I'm going to try to go catch a quick cat nap before class in an hour!

Don't you hate it...

When in the back of your mind you know you're supposed to do something, but can't remember what it is? And then it finally comes to you but then it's too late?
Yesterday I was supposed to take an online Econ quiz by 11:45pm. I rememberd at 12:06 :( Normally the quizzes are only worth somewhere between 7 and 15 points. This one was 20. I officially went from having an A on these quizzes to an F. Just from missing one.
Sooo frustrating!
