Still Behind on Blogging!

Maybe my goal of blogging at least once a week was too much of a goal for a busy college student like me to set.  Haha!  Oh well, I guess it is better for me to be behind on blogging than on school work, which is why I haven't blogged forever!

The last two weeks of my life consisted of lots of studying and time at the library, three exams, one four page paper, two three page lab reports, six labs, a 5k fun run with a friend, eight shifts at my job for about three hours each, two hours of volunteer work at a horse barn, and to top it off my Internet stopped working on my computer so I was computer less for a few days, too.  Oh, and I slept a little in between all those things and found time to get distracted on Facebook.  That right there is what my life was the last couple weeks.  It was crazy and stressful, but I survived.  Now I am done with exams for 4 weeks and then it's finals week.  Oh yeah baby!  This semester is almost over.  It's gone soooooooo fast! 

But I want to talk about my 5k fun run with my friend.  It was a cold and windy day, but we covered the 3.1 miles in less than 29 minutes.  We didn't walk, which was a huge improvement for us from our last race.  We were also about 2 minutes faster!  We were quiet proud of ourselves for what we accomplished.  I always feel accomplished at the end of any race or event! 

But because my life was so busy the last two weeks, I am behind on reading my textbooks and other little assignments.  So this is all I can blog for now.  Until next time...Enjoy!

Behind on my Blogging...Oops

But I have a good reason!  It was my much needed Spring Break last week so I was busy.  I spent lots of time with my family and my boyfriend, Brian.  I also got to go shopping with my mom one day, and I rode my horse.  It was a good break, except, it had to end.  Thank goodness there are only seven weeks of school left, though.  Six of those are weeks of classes and the other is the bittersweet week of finals.

Boyfriend?  Yes, that's what I said.  We started talking several weeks ago and recently decided to be a couple.  I am so happy that our friends introduced us because Brian is such a great person and perfect for me.  I got to spend lots of time with him while I was home because he lives in a neighboring town back home.    He is so awesome!

Family time during my break was so nice, too.  I absolutely love being with them.  I especially love meal time with them.  We are all in the kitchen at once and we get to visit with each other.  It's so wonderful and the food at home is so much better than cafeteria food!  One day just my dad and I went to lunch, and it was good because just the two of got to talk about things.  Getting to go shopping with just my mom was fun because we got to chat about everything.  It was also a successful shopping day because we each came home with some cute things.  Erin and I spent most of our time together out riding horses because we both really enjoy it.  Daisy was a good girl while I was home, which made for relaxing riding.

Well, there is a little gist of what I was up to this past week.  Now it's time to say good night, sign off, and go to bed so that I can take on these last few weeks of my sophomore year of college.  Yikes!  I'll be a junior next year! 

Lent 2011

This is day two of Lent 2011, and I am going strong!  This year I decided to give up ice cream and chocolate.  I may end up regretting this, and many others may not be happy with me because I am predicting that I will have a hand full of cranky days.  Don't cross my path!  But, I did give up ice cream last year and did just fine.  I should be able to handle it again.  The chocolate part may not be so easy, though.  I didn't prepare for giving up chocolate like I did for giving up ice cream.  I had ice cream every night for a week before Wednesday.  I had to get my fill!  I had chocolate the day before and it ended up being a very disappointing treat.  It wasn't as good tasting as I wanted it to be.  So maybe I am not going as strong as I think I am.  Currently, I am craving some good chocolate.  I will make it, though!
