No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying.

Here's a typical day for me:

7 a.m.
alarm goes off. try to wake up.
press snooze a couple of times.
wouldn't be human if i didn't, right?

7:15 a.m.
actually get out of bed

7:20 a.m.
shower

7:30 a.m.
get dressed for work

7:40 a.m.
try to remember to:
fill my water bottle
grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch
grab CNA books & supplies
eat something on the way out the door
then curse myself for forgetting to grab my
smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again.

7:45 a.m.
drive to work

8 a.m - 4 p.m
work

4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m.
take coworker(s) home.

5 p.m. - 9 p.m.
CNA class

9:15 p.m.
change into pj's.
find something to eat.
decompress.
read a chapter in CNA class
...or at least try to.
inevitably end up watching an episode of NCIS.

10:30 p.m.
go upstairs and prepare for bed.
read 1 more section in CNA book.
read scriptures.
brush teeth.
lay in bed.

11 p.m.
lay in bed wide awake...

sometime, after 11:30 p.m., fall asleep.

Yep...that's a pretty typical day for me. There isn't much space for me time. I have dropped quite a few little crafty hobbies. Ergo, in my pursuit of getting a little bit of me back, I bought a Canon ES something Rebel - manual SLR - body at the D.I. for 10 bucks. That, my friends, is a good bargain considering it's in decent running condition. I just need to get a tune up and a lens.
I also keep buying 75 cent paperback books on my lunch at the D.I. in my pursuit of me-ness.

Anyhow, I'm going to try and turn a new leaf over and be a little more organized and prioritize my time a little better. Which isn't easy because I think most everything I do and am responsible for is important and needs to be accomplished.
Maybe I need to be less rigid?

p.s.
I [think] I am turning into a thrift store-aholic.

p.p.s.
doesn't hurt that I work at the local Church endorsed thrift store either.
...and get 20% off.

I love that camera! Good find! Macey's develops film and puts it on a cd for you for around 4 bucks.... You can find good deals on film via amazon, ebay or just head to walmart!

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

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...

Things I Don't Talk About Much

"I have learned that we feel like a failure when we make mistakes even when we profess a belief that the purpose of this existence is to make and learn from them." Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had this belief that - as the quote says - we are here experiencing mortality to make mistakes and to learn from them so we can, eventually, become exalted beings and live with our Heavenly Father. In it's simplest form, that is why we're here. We have steps that we have to perform to attain such exaltation; faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, temple ordinances...you get the point. The first three things I mentioned are always ongoing. We're baptized with water and every week with the sacrament, we renew those covenants. It's a time for reflection of what we've done during the week. What went wrong, what went right, what we need to work on.  Anyhow, growing up in the church, I fe...
