Id like to think that I used my free time today very efficiently. I worked this afternoon from 12:30-3:30. I worked a birthday party at my new job. It wasn't too bad, but the kids were a little rambunctious today. After work I went home to take a shower and help my mom get ready for her 29th wedding anniversary. When I was done with that I went out for an hour to see an old friend that I haven't seen or spoke to in a while. When I got home I grabbed my computer and just started typing away. I have an English essay due on Sunday night that needed to be 4 pages long and I ended up making it 6 pages long. after I finished that essay I started working on my taekwondo essays. I finished my 7 hand techniques essay that only needed to be a page...

Today was honestly very stressful. I still have a lot of homework to do this weekend on top of the essays i still have due too. This semester of school is one of the tough ones. I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be next semester.

Long, long, long day. Worked early this morning and went straight to school to do homework. I usually take a nap before school but i figured i should do homework instead. I even stayed late after class to finish extra stuff. I didn’t get home till and hour before i needed to go to work so i still didn’t even get time to take a nap. Being an adult sucks, but i will get used to it sooner or later.

First off, Happy Easter everyone!! I hope everyone had a great day and had some time to relax and hangout with your family and friends. I did have my time for relaxation but I did spend a good amount of time working on my forms and self defense and fixing them up. Two weeks left, we got this!

This past weekend was fun. I had went to my parents land up in Virginia where my puppy met some horse. He wasn’t a big fan of them because he saw how big there were. He liked the mini horse though. This past Sunday was also my friends birthday so i went out to dinner with her and her family and we had some delicious Italian food. I hope this week goes good. No tests which is a plus. I hope you end this semester with B’s and up.

Today seemed to be much longer than it was. I have been up and moving since 4 this morning. I just put in my two weeks notice to one of my jobs. After two more weeks I no longer need to wake at 4 in the morning to work. I am struggling right now to find another job that will pay the amount I need to live off of. But I will keep looking, and not give up.

Today is the only day this week were i don’t work at 4:45. Working that early drains me of all energy for the rest of the day if i don’t get a nap in between. All i did today was go to school, do an interview, take a test then go to work. Not a very fun and eventful day. That’s the life of a college student pretty much.

Worked pretty much all day today at HFFA. When i got home i talked with my parents about a new job and my future. After all that, i did a little extra ab workout to tighten my lower abs. I strive to be super fit one day. I know it’s a lot of hard work. But, i don’t want to become lazy as the years go by. I know as I get older I’ll need to work harder for it. I am willing to stay fit and healthy for as long as i can. Exercise is my drug, I’m addicted.

Today was one of those days where you have absolutely no school or work. Just a day to sit back and relax. I can’t remember the last time that has happened to me. I spent a lot of time today with my family with only a few exceptions with an hour or two with my friend. Overall, i had a great day.

Today i looked for a new and better job. I can’t afford to stay at my lifeguard job so i am trying to find a substitute that has better pay and more hours that i can work. I looked at becoming part handler for camp wagging tails. If i got that job i would never want to leave work. I absolutely love hanging around animals, and getting paid for it? Heck yes, sign me up!!!

This weekend I had a lot of fun training with Grand Master Lee. Even though I was very sleep deprived, I did not let that effect my performance throughout the weekend. I gained a lot of knowledge with the variety of classes I went through. I also got to meet a lot of people that I have never seen before and create a great bond while working with them. I did not have time to input any numbers for the weekend or write journal entry's. Today I made sure I got caught up in the sleep that I didn't get over the weekend. I felt very refreshed this morning, one of the best feelings ever. I had a pretty relaxed day and work later on at King Tiger was fun. I know I have my good and bad days there but today was definitely one of the good days. I need...

I woke up this morning to a call from my friend that she was at my house with my puppy. But, sadly i would not be home all day to play with him. Today from ten to five in the afternoon i was working at the aquatics center as a lifeguard. It is not all that fun, all you do is sit in a chair and watch other people have fun in the water. The day is basically over. i am just looking forward to making dinner. i hope everyone else's day went a little more eventlful than mine did.

It has been a very long and tiring week. From work early in the morning to gym visits late at night. Later in the week i started to become sick with a with a cough and nasal congestion, which sucks because it’s causing me to not be able to taste anything. Oh and something new that happened. I got a puppy, he is a Rottweiler and turned 9 weeks old last Wednesday.

Its the first of February, and its been a pretty good start to this month. I woke up this morning and went to my statistics class and actually understood what my teacher was saying. I have a test in that class next week and I am doing my best to prepare myself for it and pass it with flying colors. I then went home and took a short nap before picking my coworker up for work. Work today wasn't bad at all. it seemed very relaxed and calm. After work my mom and I took sparring class and I feel as though I get better every time I go. tomorrow is a new day and I get to have a bit of time to relax after school and before black belt class. I am going to use that time to prepare myself for next weeks test and of course get some...

Middle of the week

Itsssss Wednesday, hump day. We are half way to the weekend, and i am looking forward to it. Saturday is community service, and it is about time that i do help others out. Not that i don’t do that often. I just feel as though it has been a while. I absolutely love that feeling of helping someone out, it’s a very warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart telling me I’m doing something right.

Monday...

Start of a new beginning today and I was right, I was very exhausted throughout the day. I think its because I am now anemic. I found out I was anemic when I was in the hospital. my iron levels are usually high but recently they have been really low causing me to become anemic. its been a rough change and its hard to get used to being so exhausted all the time. Anyways, today was very long as usual. went to work then school then work again. I am going to get some rest to do it all over again tomorrow, yay.

Back to normal

Tomorrow i will go back to my normal schedule. I haven’t worked or went to school since last Monday. It was a rough week you could say. I could barely get through today. I got up late and did homework, went out for about two hours and was completely exhausted. Yet, tomorrow I’ll be up from 4am-8pm going to work then school then work again. I’m not sure how tomorrow will go but i am going to take it as easy as possible without wearing myself out. I miss the old me, when i could last a whole day and go workout and not me super exhausted. I guess that’s what i get for being in the hospital for two and a half days

So, if you all have read my last post, i was in the hospital since Tuesday January 23rd. I was finally discharged on Thursday January 25th. It was a long two and a half days in the hospital. It actually felt long. Sitting around and doing absolutely nothing but sleeping, getting blood drawn, eating, talking to all kinds of doctors and nurses. They finally pin pointed how to treat my infection and released me late Thursday morning. I was so relived. I had felt so much better that day, but not quite 100%. Around 3ish that day i had an episode that i was having the past couple days at the same time. Fever of 103, chills, and high heart rate. But today, i was waiting for 3pm to pass by to see if i was gonna have another episode. I was so relieved when it didn’t. It helps me know...

Long day

Today i was supposed to work at 4:45am. I had to call out sick this morning, i was not feeling well at all today. I also ended up have to skip my morning college classes and went to the doctors. Shortly during my visit at the doctors i was sent to the ER for a kidney infection.  I’ve had one before but this one was by far the worst. I ended up with a high fever of 103.6 at one point but i am back down to normal temperature. I was not able to do any of my requirements due to not feeling well and all the different chords attached to me. It’s been a long and painful day but i will get better soon

Back to normal

Since we had many snow days last week, i didn’t work or go to school much. Today, my schedule is back to normal. Getting up at 3:45am and getting ready for work, yes’m i work that early in the morning. I do that Monday-Friday. Trust me, it’s exhausting. After i get off work at 8am, i go home and get ready for my morning classes at CPCC. After i get out of classes i usually either go home or go to the library and knock out all th homework i need to do. After all that, at 2:30 i get ready to go work again until 6 or 7 and then take some kind of taekwondo class. I repeat that schedule everyday except Saturday and Sunday. On sundays i work 10-5 which isn’t too bad. I do have to say, i very much look forward to weekends.

Snow days and life lessons

It has been a long couple of days frozen over. I did not want to bring myself to say this, but i actually miss working and school. I have been using these couple of days to catch up on school work and requirements. Yesterday i "adulted". Between the time that i woke up and went to over to my friends apartment, i called Geico and set up my own insurance policy. i am taking that next step in life and growing up as the days go on. Next thing you know, i will own my own place. Life comes at you fast, and im learning that more and more everyday.

Just another day

Today I woke up an hour before I needed to be at work. I started my morning off with some coffee to get me ready for a 7 hour shift. not saying that I am not used to these long shifts, I've worked longer. I work at The Aquatics center, also known as HFFA. I work there as a lifeguard. Today is one of my coworkers last day. About 30 minutes into his shift he left for his break and came back with three pizzas. Ya'll can see that my day so far is off to a great start. Its been a normal day here at HFFA, same members coming in to do their laps, kids coming into celebrate their birthday, divers practicing their dive, just the normal stuff you see every Sunday. Throughout this shift I am getting some requirements done, and working at a gym is great. I get...

Hello, Hello

This is my first journal entry for this cycle. So far, today has been pretty relaxing. I didn't have to work early this morning, thank god. But, I do have to work at 3:15 today at King Tiger Lake Norman. All that I have been doing today is doing some of my requirements and getting some shopping done. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to enter my requirements online though. There is a tab on my profile that says "edit/view tracking" which brings me to everyone else's tracking. I just cannot seem to find a place where it says to edit mine. Hopefully I figure that problem out soon. well, I shall get back to doing some requirements before I have to go to work. Have a great rest of your days you all.

Today was overall not a bad day, but very long. Starts out with getting up and going to school, went through the day with all my classes. Then i had to stay after school for field day training for JROTC. I am the best female that can hold the longest hang time but i still need to work on it. i do the most sit-up than any of the girls. Me and my partner Brooke we do a fast three legged race. And then there's horse and rider, I'm not the best at that but my group and i will improve we have a month to go. then i had gone home and ran 2 miles then did my homework, and finally at the end of everything went to class and PMAA class.
