weekend (if you could call it that)

it's that time of year...where my weekends feel no different than my weekdays.

i spent a total of 10 hours on campus this weekend writing papers & getting ready for exams.

also trying to pass math as i've fallen behind in recent weeks & can't seem to get above a 50 on my quizzes. with two tests left until the end of the class...le sigh. we're cutting it close, folks.

but here are a few peeks at the weekend anyway, since i know you're all DYING to see photos of my pretty face. :P

walking home from campus in my brand new coat (sale at H&M!)

eating away my finals week preparation sorrows by having copious amounts of ice cream.

enjoying the tv comcast forced me to get (long story...seriously) & mostly catching up on the daily show.

the last of the fall colors outside my window.

i made delicious crockpot mac & cheese for luke & i on saturday & it was a smashing success. i'll post the recipe soon. (sometimes i can cook yay!)

lack of sleep does a lot to a person.

 

well i survived week one of my new job. barely.

it's safe to say that if you saw me at all last week, you saw me at my craziest... and that's not an exaggeration. poor luke saw everything from crying, laughing, screaming, even throwing temper tantrums. it was bad.

my body does NOT know how to shut down when it's daylight out. i put blankets over the windows, took some tylenol pm, put a handkerchief over my eyes...anything to help my body feel like it was nighttime. but basically nothing worked & it wasn't until i had gone 35+ hours without sleep that i finally crashed. hard.

however, i survived, & even left with some hilarious new memories... here are bits & pieces of my week:

1. after 35 hours of no sleep, i was trying to do math & was NOT succeeding. when i got frustrated i told luke, "THIS SUCKS BECAUSE I'M STILL 3 EPISODES BEHIND!" (instead of assignments)

2. singing teletubbies theme song while driving home from malad, idaho, to help myself stay awake.

3. also jamming pink floyd with all 4 windows down & using my steering wheel as a drumset.

4. running into the door because i was too tired to notice it wasn't open.

5. after trying to sleep for 4 hours with no luck, opening a gallon of ice cream & eating out of it with a spoon. luke says, "wow...are you okay? i've seen you eat ice cream out of the container exactly 1 time, & you weren't doing so hot then..." hahahha!

needless to say it's been one of those weeks. but i am fired up & ready for this week's adventures. hopefully i get some more sleep!

quote of the week.

"all great achievements take time."

-maya angelou

i've had to remind myself of this quote SEVERAL times these past couple weeks...as soon as summer tuition got raised over $100 i knew there was no way i would be able to afford it. still trying to scrape by, but we'll see.

either way, i will about a 6-year college student before i graduate. FML.

deep breaths... deep breaths!
