Tomorrow is the beginning of the Spring 2009 Semester.
On my plate I have:
Organizational Management
Operations Management
Intermediate Accounting II
Accounting Information Systems
RA
Fall Workshop Committee
NRHH planning for Among the Stars
and life...
I'm ready. Kind of.
No, I am not organized. Yes, I am ready to become organized!
I am taking an exercise class twice a week for a total of 3 hours per week. The title is Total Body Conditioning. It consists of cardio-endurance, muscular strength, land & step aerobics, kickboxing, strength, and core stability. The actual 1st class is Wednesday. On Thursday you should ask how I am doing haha! I believe it will kick my butt. However, I hope that at the end of the semester I will be more in shape and it won't be kicking my butt anymore!

It has arrived
The time has come...
When I have to drive back to UNI...
I don't know when I'll be back...
I'm afraid it will be Spring Break...
I'm not going to Florida with my family over Spring Break. I will have the house all to myself. It's kind of scary and surprising at the same time. My parents really wanted me to go with them. However I know I will be having a lot of things going on with homework and I have a dentist appointment scheduled. Plus, there won't be anyone around my age there. So, while it's always fun just to go down to Florida, I don't think I would enjoy it to the fullest. Hence, I should probably be more productive and just stay here. Maybe then I can FINALLY get my car fixed! Oh goodness...
I'm off to do laundry before I leave...

Needed Advice
Ok, so I am home. I was planning on working but they never called and I kind of just want a break to rest!
Also, Christmas celebrations are beginning to get stressful! Why? What do I do? Here's what's going on...
1) Gonnerman celebration Wednesday night and Thursday in Des Moines
2) Mabrey celebration in Chicago with my family leaving Wednesday afternoon
3) Josh leaving to go to his grandparents' on Friday
I honestly don't want to miss either Gonnerman or Mabrey celebrations...
My plan to satisfy both would be to go to Josh's parents' on Wednesday night, call it an early night, and leave for Chicago on Thursday morning. I would also like to have someone accompany me in my drive (Josh) but it doesn't look like that is possible. If it was possible, then that would mean he would have to drive/ride in a car for a very long time. And I know he wouldn't be a fan of that. I just don't want to miss anything. I love Josh's family celebrations but haven't been to a Mabrey side Christmas for a long time. (Last year they held it during my finals week so I couldn't attend).
To make things worse, Josh's phone is dead and I can't ask him what he wants to do..........I just want a compromise.

Home.
I'm coming home tomorrow (technically today)! WOO HOO!
Finals are over. They were the worst finals I've had so far! And very very stressful! As of right now, I have a B+ and a B- and I have 2 more grades to come! Intermediate Accounting will most likely be my best grade! But wasn't it supposed to be the hardest class? Hmmm...I'm still pondering that one!
Thursday night (last night) Cedar Falls was dumped on. We got like at least a foot of snow! So, while I was on-call today, I went and shoveled out a bunch of cars including my own. I also climbed a mountain of snow and slid down it! It was a blast! I also checked out a bunch of people from the hall, ate a lasagna dinner with my staff, and other closing stuff!
I'm off to clean so I can then pack to GO HOME!!!!

Mumble Jumble...
So, it is officially 11 days until I come home for 2.5 weeks! WOO.
The only slight wrinkle in that time frame is finals...
They're only a slight wrinkle right? (Just say yes!) haha.
Yeah, I know, finals are going to be downright horrible this semester. I'm stressing out now. However, they could be worse. I have one final each day (Monday through Thursday). I could have multiple finals on any day. My only concern is that I am going to get worn down and I won't have the motivation to study at the end.
On another note, I need to come up with a better system to be organized. I am not succeeding right now. So, my plan is to get those black shelves that piece together. Then I can have an inbox for each class, RA stuff, committee stuff, NRHH stuff, and signs that need to be put up. And then maybe an URGENT to do box or something. That makes it 9 boxes....YIKES! haha.
I also think I am going to rearrange my room to make it work better. But I really like having my bed by the window. HMMM....
I have until Josh leaves for break to figure out what I want for Christmas. What happens when you don't have a wish list other than an external hard drive (and you've already given that wish to your parents). How do you come up with another needed item? I don't have room for another wanted item. I'm on a need-only basis right now. I could ask for a new purse, a new pair or jeans, a new pair of shoes? I don't know. A new sweater? An at home workout thing? Like a DVD I can put in and do in my room since I'm so well getting to the WRC. I just don't know. I wish I could ask for more hours in the day or someone to come clean! haha! But that is just a dream.
Moving on....
Lately, I thought I had all of next year planned out perfectly. Little did I know that my plans would stop dead in their tracks. My original plan was to run for VP of the Acct'g Club (and win). Then, when I got that position, most of my time would be taken by that so I wouldn't be able to be an RA. So, I would live at ROTH as a regular resident and be a desk assistant.
Well, I didn't get the VP position. So, now I do believe I am going to apply to be an RA out at ROTH. If I don't get that position, I will just live out there and hope to be a desk assistant. Maybe for one year I can just be a regular student. I don't know what will happen. All I know is that I really like ROTH and I want to be there. I've met some very cool people in my house this year and I want to flexibility of just being friends and not their RA. I love being an RA. If I don't continue to be an RA next year...I will most definitely be sad and a little lost at the end of the year. How do you go from being an RA for 2 years to just a resident? I guess I'll figure that out eventually.
On an almost ending note, Josh and I are doing really well. I still wish we had more time together. It's really difficult to balance everything and now with finals approaching it is going to be really hard for me. He's the pillow that you scream into when you don't know what else to do; similar to the one comfort food that you grab when you barely have time to think. But what do you do when that one person you lean on is in the same boat as you (the boat of stress from finals)? Do you just stand there and hug each other (because that's all I want to do right now)?
*SIGH*

Leavin' on a jet plane
So I'm packing getting ready to leave. Not quite on a jet plane but in an Impala. They're kind of close; right?
A little late yes. But I wanted to make sure to clean my fish tank and vacuum before I left. Mainly because when I get back, there won't be time to clean!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I'm going hhhooommmeee!!!!!!!!!

110
I just want to start by saying I will have been away from home for 110 days when I finally get home for Thanksgiving Break. Wow! I counted it while I was working in the office today! I am officially grounded to the building except for an hour and a half today and tomorrow (into Wednesday). I can't wait to leave but I have a lot of homework to do and really don't want to!
Also, my gift idea changed. I'm caving in but not for his birthday, just for Christmas! haha! I am done with his birthday gift (and it changed as well!) I'm excited to give it to him but don't know when I will!
Wednesday I will be going to my old work to close my bank account, depositing it into my other account and then going home, going to get my nails done sometime, and then chill time. I talked to my dad last night. Apparently my family bought a new tv? Ok, I guess Austin is pretty excited over the noise it makes when it turns on! haha. Whatever!
Thursday I will be going to the Machine Shed with my dad, sister, and brother. My mom works 2 twelve hour shifts (Wednesday and Thursday night) so she will be sleeping all of Thanksgiving Day. Then Thanksgiving night I'm going over to Josh's for dinner.
Friday I'M GOING SHOPPING!!!!!! Oh my goodness, I don't think I could be more excited. Unfortunately I need to buy 2 new pairs of jeans. One pair ripped and is officially in the garbage, and my other pair that I love OH SO MUCH is on its way to the garbage probably before Christmas. *sigh* Other than that, I have gifts to get!
Saturday is Josh's birthday (he's so old...23!!!! haha). For lunch I am going to my Grandparents' for Thanksgiving lunch! I haven't seen them for a very very long time...I can't remember the last time. Hmmm...
Then Sunday I will be packing and coming back up here!!! I'm on backup Sunday night so I have to be back in the building by 7pm. Such a busy busy break!!
On that note I should probably go do some homework and clean!
