Snow Day #1

Ahhhh thank goodness for snow days! I loved being able to sleep in, and I've had a fairly laid back day. I had to take my car in to get some service. Turns out there was a dead chipmunk inside of my heating system! That was quite the surprise. After that, I came home, made myself a grilled cheese, and did some of my homework. I finished my AP Bio homework and I worked some on my next reading assignment for English. We're supposed to have finished reading Hamlet by Monday. I still have to work on my religion essays and my column for newspaper, but I think with the extra time I have I'll be okay. This definitely helped with the whole "waiting until next semester starts" thing. I'd love a snow day tomorrow, but I still have a project to present in Economics which I won't be able to do after Friday. 

Welp I've been Netflixing to my heart's content, and my sister brought me all kinds of chocolatey ice cream goodness! The night has definitely turned today around!

I GOT A SNOW DAY TOMORROW PRAISE BE TO THOR

1/7/15

Today was ehhhhh and I'm currently avoiding my homework by checking over and over again to see if I'll get a snow day tomorrow. Fingers crossed. If I do, I'm just not going to do anything tonight! 

I did pack myself a solid lunch and made a bitchin breakfast for tomorrow, though. I made an egg white omelette! 

I FINISHED THE SECOND ESSAY HOLY CRAP I'M DOING AMAZING!!!!!!

GO ME!!! MAKING PROGRESS LIKE IT'S MY JOB!

I finished one of my essays and I'm about a third of the way done with the second! I'm doing fantastic!

So I'm actually being pretty productive tonight!!!! I packed my lunch and made a breakfast for myself for tomorrow when I got home today, and I have one of my five religion essays almost finished! I still have to do math, and I plan on doing at least one more religion essay tonight and then working on a column for newspaper so I can get ahead. I really want to kick my assignments out of the way so I can manage to work in some exercise! I've failed pretty miserably at that the past three days. Here goes nothing!

1/6/15

Today was not the greatest day. It snowed a ton overnight and throughout the morning, so it was really really awful driving to school. It took me an hour and ten minutes!!!!! A bunch of schools had two-hour delays, and it really perplexes me as to why my school didn't do that! We're supposed to get a bunch of lake effect snow tonight (pleeeeeease snow pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease) and people are keeping their hopes for a snow day high. I'd adore a snow day, but even a two-hour delay would be spectacular! We've never had a two hour delay when I've been in high school, only snow days. I've only spent two days back at school, and so far it's been two days too many!

The rest of the day I pretty much just dragged myself to my classes and tried to stay awake. I did deliver the burn of a lifetime, though. I'm pretty proud of it:

Dickish guy at lunch table: Guys, when you're gonna get a blowjob, drink pineapple juice. I know from experience.
Me: Congrats on becoming flexible enough to blow yourself.

*mic drop*
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Yeah, it was the prime moment of my day. I've basically come to the point where I do what I feel like doing and not caring about what others think of me. It's a weird kind of senior slide. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

Goodnight!

Sooooo I have no clue what I'm doing with my math homework since it's been about three weeks since I learned the stuff that's on it! Sooooooooooooooooo I'm giving up on that dream and exercising for a few minutes before starting up one of those religion essays.

1/5/15

The first day back from break wasn't too atrocious. I didn't do much in my classes; in fact, I'm watching movies in two of them! Senior slide is hitting hard and fast. I'm gonna do my math homework, exercise for about half an hour, then maybe work ahead on some assignments. My religion teacher is gone for the next two weeks, so our final assignment is to type up FIVE one-page essays on the movie/miniseries Nuremberg due Saturday, but I may want to work ahead on those assignments that way I can maybe spend some time with Andy Friday night before he heads back to school on Saturday. 

Overall, today was pretty ehh, and I just hope that I can see Andy at the end of the week. That'd make the whole "going back to school" thing a lot less horrible.

Oops I haven't exercised yet... Typical of me on a school night, I guess! I'll try to do some small things in my room while I can, that may be my best option at this point. 

I managed to get a lot of work done on the English homework, and Dylan has started putting his answers in so I'm not nearly as worried anymore! In about half an hour I'm going to take a break to exercise. I need to get some work done there! 

I really want this next week to fly by fast. After that, the semester is over and I can sort of rest easy. It's nice to be halfway done with Senior year! I'm looking forward to college, but I still want to make the most of the time I'll have left with the people who matter to me. 

1/4/15

Today has been pretty uneventful. I went to Famous to pick up my paychecks and check the schedule for next week. I don't work at all, which I don't mind, but I also wouldn't mind a few hours here or there. Money is definitely something I need. After that, I deposited my checks and now I'm just trying to get through what's left of my Heart of Darkness homework. I have basically no motivation to do any of it, but I've gotta get as much done as possible. Dylan was working with me, but he hasn't done anything yet because he's been working on essays for medical school applications. I'll probably do about 60-65% of the project, but that's okay. I actually haven't even finished reading the book yet! Ohhhh I love the smell of procrastination...

Goodnight!

I finally got around to working out. Since I was kinda tuckered out and sore, I only did 30 minutes instead of an hour. If I have time for a full hour tomorrow, I'm going to do that. As long as I'm going something, that's all that matters! Now, I'm just going to settle in with some Netflix and call it a night!

Ohhhh god I'm tired and don't want to exercise but I really really should...

Oh god, I just remembered how back early in the summer I would write down every single thing that I wanted to do that day, planning it out to a tee... It's not that that habit was bad, because when the summer started I was much more productive, I just tended to not do a lot of the things I had planned out since I am rarely motivated. I should really try to do that more often. I already use a planner for my assignments at school, so maybe I could start writing a few extra things in each day to do around the house or for workouts, etc. I do love crossing things out!

Welp, cleaning took next to no time at all, but at least I can cross it off that list!

Only 3 questions left for me to answer tonight, so I may as well take my break to clean some now! I think I'll also get rid of some of the old scarves that I bought but never wore and other things of that nature to give myself more closet space.

Only 5 more questions to answer until I've reached my goal for the day!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!! Once I've answered 2 more, I'll take a break and go through my closet some. 

Goals for Today

Since I have so much to get done today, I'm making myself a checklist.

• Answer 14 of the 19 questions I need to answer for my Heart of Darkness work. I've already answered 5, so I have 9 to go.
• Exercise, of course! I want to work out for at least 30 minutes. Hopefully I'll have time to do a little more than that, though!
• Clean my room some. It's always in need of some work. My closet especially could use some extra space, so cleaning it is definitely a must. I have a TON of purses and bags and stuff that I don't use, and some of the Vera Bradley stuff I could try to sell on eBay so I can have extra money for college. The rest of the stuff I would donate to Goodwill. If I don't get a lot of this done today, that's okay, I just want to do a little bit of work in there. 

Speaking of school...

I HAVE ONLY TWO DAYS TO FINISH HEART OF DARKNESS AND ANSWER A BAJILLION QUESTIONS I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! 

I am kinda worried that my progress will slow down a bit once I get back to school, since it'll be harder for me to make time to exercise. I'm not too worried about tracking my food, since that's pretty easy. I will be surrounded by worse foods and the temptation to get a lot of fast/unhealthy foods, though... I'm just going to have to take things one day at a time and make the best of the time I have. 

Since the new semester is starting soon, I'll at least have a much less demanding school schedule! No more Honors Government or Economics, and I'll have a study hall and "advanced" Video Production (which can act as a study hall when I'm done with my work in that class)! So hopefully that'll make it easier for me to find time to exercise after school.

So I weighed myself this morning, and I was right! I did make a lot of progress! I lost 3 pounds since I first started documenting my food and exercising regularly! I can't wait to see how much total I lose. My goal is to get down to 145 pounds by spring break, but at this rate I think I can get to 140. I was at 165 once I started. Even though my body carries that weight relatively well, if I didn't start taking care of myself I would only go downhill as I aged. I'm feeling pretty good about things so far!
