stress: physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension

today ladies was a wake up call

yesterday my one class for the semester seemed super exciting--grated if i actually am able to enroll in it.

today is a different story so far.

class number 1 PR Application

one group project for the entire semester

rough

with a group that has two different opinions on what we should do

class number 2 Shakespeare's Late Plays

since when have i loved or understood shakespeare?

oh yea, never

and since when have i been able to keep up with a 100 miles an hour teacher

oh yea, never.

yet i still have a 3rd class of the day Media and News writing

maybe it will be better

but after looking over the syllabus, may be close to impossible.

i am trying to look at this semester as a challenge

i want to find the good in it.

i am pushing my boundaries and taking real college classes with hard professors who think the world of themselves

i want to learn about these subjects, even grow to possibly love Shakespeare

we will see how it goes

i can't afford to drop any of the classes either so a challenge it will be

last semester i worked hard and it payed off with great, outstanding grades

this semester may be a different story

hopefully if i keep organized, stay motivated and keep up with my work load we will be OK.

(we as in my mind, body and soul)

i will keep you updated...

hopefully the seemingly impossible will become possible!

2010

Dear 2009,

How did you come and go so quickly? I hardly even remember last new years! I also apologize for not making any new years resolutions at the birth of 2009.  Hopefully 2010 will be more goal oriented!

With hopes for the new year,

Dear 2010,

Thank you for coming! I have a few goals this year. I would greatly appreciate the much needed motivation so that I can accomplish my goals for more than a few weeks.

• I want to stay in shape. This may be hard due to the fact that walking to class has been eliminated from my daily schedule, and going to the gym requires an extra 2-3 hours out of my day!
• I want to get organized.  But for real organized.  It needs to be functional.  I tend to put things in groups, but they aren't functional groups...usually they are hard to get to and annoying to take the time and put them away.
• I would love to stay on top of my grades, and keep them up, BUT without the loss of enjoying time with friends, family and of course preston!
• I want to get inspired.  Recently I have been in to attempting to dig up my "artsy" and "creative" self from deep beneath the paper writing machine I have become. Maybe taking pictures and scrapbooking will help!
• I would also like to stay on budget this year! I know, it seems awful 2010 that I have never been on an actual budget, but this year I'm determined.  I need to learn how to not just save for my next purchase, but save for my future! (you know, that wedding in a few years--fingers crossed!)
• I want to spend more time for myself. Being a coffee lover I would love to spend mornings sipping and reading and thinking....and what ever else I can force my body to do that early.
• I also do not want to give up.  Never give up.  Make each moment worth while. If one cliche explains my goals the best it is Live, Laugh, Love.  So what cliche, you describe who I want to be in 2010.

Thanks 2010 for listening to my goals.... I will probably write them down somewhere on my wall so I don't forget them.  Hopefully you will be proud as 2011 rolls around.

fingers crossed,

bring it on 2010
