Drum Roll please...

So, I've decided that this year will be the Year of the Learner. I'm obviously still in school, so I'll be taking academic classes with a few little extras thrown in the mix to keep me sane. Here is what my schedule looks like next semester:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Business Communications 8-8:50 AM
Personal Health and Wellness 9-9:50 AM (thankfully I don't have this class on Fridays)
Personal Finance 10-10:50 AM

Monday and Wednesday Institute with Bro. VanDyke
Teachings of the Living Prophets
from 11 till 12 noon

Tuesday and Thursday
Financial Accounting 8:30-9:15 AM
Business Computer Proficiency 7-8:15 PM

Yeah...night class that ends after 8 PM means that I miss Grey's. I'm a little sad about this one, but not really. Thank goodness for Hulu.com!

Anyhow, you may be asking yourself why I'm taking more business and accounting classes considering I'm an English major. Well, ever since I could remember, I've been working some sort of retail. Mostly cashiering, which isn't a bad job, I just hate the grumpy customers who throw a fit whenever they come a day late for 1/2 off Wednesday Drink Day.
So to bring about a means to an end,

I'm currently pursuing both my bachelor's and a

Certificate of Accounting.

Which equals more job skill in the retail world or any service oriented business that requires someone to do payroll or cook their books (not really. i'll be ethical...promise!).

Plus, it's only 29.5 credits which will transfer to the university of my choice which is
far, far, far away from Utah.

Okay...its really only 2 time zones away on the eastern seaboard. It'll fulfill my affinity for
actual seasons rather than cold that pretty much melts into hot. Although, I will
miss the mountains. I love me some mountains and beautiful canyon drives.

Anyhow, during the summer, I'll be taking a few more accounting and business classes so I can take the executive lecture series next fall and then I'll be done with the certificate. Since the lecture series is only half a credit, I'll be starting on my core classes that I'll need for my bachelors and a beginning photography class.

*Attention photogs: I am in search of a 35 mm manual film camera for said photography class. So if any of you know of any amazing camera deals, I'd be much obliged.*

Other than being an academic for the years to come after the Year of the Learner, I need some other things to learn about. I'll be living, breathing, making anything that I learn. I want to learn about pretty much anything that will stretch me.
If it's crafty, it's for me.
If it's an autobiography about famous or obscure people, things, places...it's for me.
I enjoy cooking, so if you have any cool recipes that you want to share, then by all means,
let the sharing begin!

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
