school

So I’ve been back at school for three weeks.  I haven’t started studying like I was before yet.  I have to this week though; two tests next week.  I think I’ll be okay.  The days are a lot more full; we’re constantly busy.  I need to get more sleep at night I think.

I am eating healthier now.  I invested in a crock pot to be able to make easy “healthy” meals while I am at school.  So far it is working; I still dabble in fast food, but not nearly as much as it was last semester.  I’ve lost some weight since the holidays.  I guess that means it is working.  I could really use a nap right now ;-)  We have our most confusing class Wednesday on afternoons. Sigh.  I’ll make it!  I made it this far so I guess I can do anything.

orange bowl!

Bowl game tonight!

Go Hawks!

it’s been said many times many ways…

Well I’m done with my first semester!  I did okay; only one class didn’t really go easily for me, but I’m glad I got through all of them!  This week there was a lot of celebrating.  We had a white elephant gift exchange at our ugly sweater party.  Not my most attractive moment ever, but it was fun!

Friday I went skiing for the first time in a long time.  It was a ton of fun :-).  Haha.  I might not be very good but I only fell twice.  Not bad for being away from skiing since high school.  Maybe a little more liquid courage would help me.  My thighs just got tired.  I am not really in shape.

I have to get two more Christmas gifts.  I got a lot done today, but it was really busy everywhere I went.  I think I might bake tonight; I’m not entirely committed yet.  I love being able to bake again.  I wish all my friends didn’t leave; it is sad being here all alone.  I don’t have the studying to keep me distracted either.  I can’t wait to head down to Kansas City to spend some time with Steve.  It will be a good break; I have two whole weeks to relax.  I’m getting hungry again; I had a light supper so I think I’m going to grab some chips and salsa.

snow!

We got a lot of snow today.  Classes were cancelled.  I ended up staying in bed until 1 PM.  I wasn’t feeling too good.  Finally I decided to wake up and take some medicine.  After that I started to feel a wee bit better, and I took advantage of some much needed study time.  I’m going to study a little more tonight, but I think I’ll wait half an hour or so to get started.

I want to just snuggle up and watch a movie.  I don’t have anyone to do that with though.  I guess all the more reason to study.  Being single is helping me make friends, and this I am glad for.  I think I just need time.  Eventually things will work out; or at least I hope they will :-).  I mean if I never have kids who is going to take care of me when I’m 80?

I’ll be happy when it is Friday.  Then I’ll have (hopefully) two exams next week.  I just have to make it through the remaining four this week.  Two tomorrow and two Friday.  If I don’t get above 70% on the one Friday morning I have to take the final.  Eww.

a good night

This week has been pretty laid back.  I won’t be looking forward to next week.  I think I have a few life decisions to make, but those will come with time.  It is unfortunate that some people won’t like them.

I was called “jaded” tonight.  It was a huge insult.  I’m over that… I know that I’m going to have a very successful life.  I could have after four years of undergrad too.  I’ll be happy if I get a few dogs; die alone; and have a handful of good friends.

If there is a woman that can prove me wrong I’d like to meet her.  I’m still alive; so I haven’t met a woman I can’t live without. ^^ close but no cigar.

it didn’t have to end like this

I have never had the most awkward conversation in my life.  I don’t really know how to explain it, but it had to do with the last few nights.  I’ve been up on a high; I think the holidays just do that to everyone, but I had my stomach sink tonight.  I guess Mat Kearney put it best:

She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

I love that song; I wasn’t on my knees at all.  I just had that feeling that you have when you can’t believe what someone said to you.  For me it hasn’t happened in awhile.  I guess it just reminds me that I’m human.  I’m glad nothing serious happened to anyone in my life.  It was just an emotional issue; we all want to feel needed and wanted.  I guess looking back I don’t see how I should have felt wanted or needed, but hind sight is always twenty/twenty.

I’m glad that I’ve had this week off.  I need to gear up the next few weeks.  I am way too addicted to bears.  I want to get these for my deck.  I think I’m going to run out to Target and see if they have any.  o.O

happy thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving day.  I was out last night again.  It was a fun time.  I’m really confused though.  Oh well.

I’m glad that I’m on break but it feels like it is moving so fast.  I hope I can enjoy the rest of it while it lasts.  I can’t decide if I want to go to bed early tonight or not.  I want to go get some things tomorrow, but it might be so busy that shopping isn’t worth the hassle.

I’m watching ESPN right now and they’re showing items about older men.  I want to be a cute old man.  I don’t know if I can top what they’ve accomplished.  They’ve both had long marriages (50+ years) and are 99.  I would be happy to be married that long, but in reality it probably won’t happen the way things are going right now.  Not sure how long I’ll last either if I keep eating the way I do.  It has gotten worse since I’ve been a dental student too.  I just don’t have time so I get fast food.  I’ve been trying to get Subway more though.  That is better than deep fried food.  We’ll see; I guess it all just will work itself out. :-) So I don’t have anything to worry about.
