Blah Weekend

What a blah weekend. It's been chilly, gray and rainy. This was my weekend to be off from work and have some fun. However, the plans that were made went to the pits. I had tickets to see this show Saturday night which I had been looking forward to all month, plus today off to regroup from the concert and quiet time to study. Well, my friend who had the tickets lost them somehow. She looked everywhere she could think of, even in odd places and still no tickets. The show was sold out so there was no way we could get another pair. So the show that we were looking forward to seeing never happened for us. Crap. Plan B that we came up with wasn't so much fun either. I was home and in my pjs by midnight, snacking on chips & salsa while watching a show that I taped 3 weeks ago. Ah, the exciting life of a single girl. I feel like crap, I have loads of stuff to study for and laundry to finish.
I did go to a birthday gathering today for this lady who is the head cook at my local restaurant that I like to go to and hung out with some peeps for a couple of hours which was cool, but I still wasn't feeling the happy vibes. I'm feeling pretty lame. My planned weekend of fun turned out to be a weekend of blah. How pathetic. I hope tomorrow is a better day. I'm tired of feeling like crap. elizinashe

Overloaded

I have a big test in my Anatomy & Physiology class on the 7th of April. Yee Gads!! I printed off the review sheet Friday evening before I left to grab food...all I can say is Holy Crap!! There's like 3 pages of stuff to know, plus knowing how to draw a 'chunk' of the hair shaft, a nail, a long bone and it's interior stuff and the various shapes of muscle tissue plus knowing the major bones and major muscles in the body and not to forget Cellular Respiration and the Kreb's Cycle which is something that I still don't understand. All I know is 2 ATPs. Oh My God!! We're talking 6 chapters of crap plus the odd chapter on Cellular Respiration. Shit,man...how much can a brain really absorb??? I have been picking away at some of this review stuff the last couple of days on my pute plus highlighting stuff that I don't have answers for in hopes of getting a study group together so I can get a clue. This is way too much information for one test, plus a lab test that is separate on the same night!! I swear I'm going to pop a vessel and bleed out my ears. This coming week is our 'Spring Break' so there won't be class...but I know my break time will still be divided between work and pecking away at my unfinished review sheet, studying the eventual finished project and having a coronary in the process. I hope you guys are able to make it to my funeral. It should be quite lovely. (ha ha). In the words of the great S.J. Gumby...

MY BRAIN HURTS!! elizinashe

Procrastination

Procrastination. Such an ugly word. (And being labeled as a 'procrastinator' doesn't shed a good light on your person.) The act of putting duties off to the side as if they didn't exist is soo easy to do and highly unproductive. Such a lazy habit to fall into. And yet, we have all practiced the art of procrastination. I think it's quite contagious. There should be a pill for that don't ya think? I fully believe that we all deserve a day of laziness and some downtime, however that can be an easy trap that becomes a habit. Ew! I used to be so productive in my work-week, but as I get older, I find myself being lazier than need be. I hate that. Is this a part of the normal 'aging process'?
I'd rather eat chocolate and have a glass of wine instead of exercising. I'd rather write and fart around on my computer than study. I'd rather eat out than cook.( but that's rooted in my ridiculously small kitchen.) I'd rather check out the dollar bin and the clearance rack at Target than clean the bathroom. I'd rather travel and see my girls than work, but that's a big pipe dream... I'd rather keep blogging than do the sink full of dishes that awaits me. How do you make it stop? I know I'm not the only one. I'd like to know how badly others procrastinate so that I don't feel so bad about procrastinating myself. Anyone know of an elixor to 'cure' me of this ailment? Looking to be more productive, elizinashe :)

Cheers

Just a quick note...no matter how chaotic my life may be or how stressed I am, I am always grateful for the unexpected help and support of my friends, always coming when I least expect it. I am soo proudly independent that it is hard to accept help, but I have grown up enough to know when to take it when the help that is given to me without the expectance of 'payback'. And for that I am truly grateful. I hope that one day I can be one of those people...maybe I already am and just don't know it yet. I just wanted to give a shout out to those who have helped me in the past and now in the present. THANK YOU!! Love to all and may you be blessed many times over!! elizinashe

p.s. still stuck on the nun pics...hope you like it! :)

Making Changes

Greetings my fellow readers. As you can see I've made some changes to my blog. I got tired of the Pepto Bismol pink and needed something fresh. I also figured out how to paste other bloggers that I read onto my page. (yea!) Hopefully as time goes on I will be able to add other bloggers to my reader's list as I get more involved in my own blogging. I do find it theraputic in a creative sort of way. And one of my bestest girls started a blog page during her 1st pregnancy. I am soo proud of her for diving in the writing world. Yea Elisa!! Welcome! Those of you who have had babies must look her up and share the mommy stuff...I haven't jumped into the world of having babies yet, don't know if I really will but that's a whole other story. In the meantime, hope all is well with my readers. Hope you like the new fresh look. Keep blogging!! elizinahse

Night Shift

So I picked up a night shift tonight due to one of our crew is home sick with the flu. I could use the overtime, plus it would 'force' me into studying being that I have alot of time to kill until 7am. I've written a few notes and looked at some stuff that our teacher has posted on-line, but I'm still not feeling the study habits. I really don't have the motivation to study tonight. Or ever for that matter.(at least this week.) I just hate doing it. I hope that is normal. It's just a little hard to get started and focus on what I need to be doing instead of farting around and becoming so easily distracted. It's really made me question my endurance school-wise. Perhaps I'm just one of those people who doesn't do well in school...I'm not quite sure what the root of my problem is. Although I have a pretty good idea where it stems from.(can't change that one.) It's made me feel poopy about myself and quite guilty. I'm beginning to question my real purpose here and where do I really want to go with my new career endeavor. How do you know what you want to do in life and how do you really achieve it? How long does it take for a person to get where they want to be in life? All of this is normal adult growing pains, right? Why couldn't I have been one of those type A career focused corporate ladder personalities creating my own company and living a jet-set life? Is there a life manual that I don't know about?? I suppose I could go into fashion and create something more ridiculous than my previous two posts and make a name for myself...ha-ha!! Maybe in my next life...hopefully these growing pains will pass quickly...wish me luck. elizinashe
