Disturbed

Do you ever feel guilty for something you didn't even do? I've been having that feeling a lot lately.

ONE MORE DAY

So only one more day to halloween! YAY!

Alex's alarm didn't go off this morning... so I couldn't make it to work. I missed work Tuesday too. Thank god my boss is understanding... and nobody else wants to my job... or I'd be fired by now.

So all I have to do is:

1. Upload paper to turnitin.com
2. Find somebody who will feel sorry for me and help me with derivatives
3. Bring Sarah accounting stuff (I JUST remembered this... thank god I made a list... now I just have to find that stuff...)
4. Meet with Mike and work on international mgt project instead of real estate
5. Type international mgt case
6. Clean apartment
7. Possibly cook halloween dessert to bring to work tomorrow

And I'll be DONE for the week. YAY!!!

Other good news... our glo-bus group is slowly but steadily improving. I'm not sure we'll ever catch up but at least we're not going backwards.

Aaand I have wal-mart chicken tenders, mac & cheese, and red bull for lunch! Today is going to be good, I know it :)

Random

Completely random post - but you know how people say beer is an acquired taste?

I don't think I can believe that yet...

On Friday night Michael, Heather, Kristin, & Travis came over. Kristin was drinking Corona and it looked good so I decided to try one. I put two lemons in it and it was alright... but I had been drinking R&R so I think that may have numbed my taste buds. I even think I drank one of Michael's budweisers... I think. But it was gross.

So the next day I wanted to try it again to see if it would taste better the second time around. Laila wanted to try it too so we bought some more Corona. Yeah... no. It tasted worse than the night before... even with like four limes. I ended up drinking two but the taste never got better. The more limes made it easier to drink though... more like lime-flavored pee than regular pee. Ew.

Then yesterday I tried it AGAIN. And it still tasted horrible. So I think I'm done with that experiment. I wanted to like it because it is cheaper than the other drinks I like... but no.

Shocked

Bad things definitely do happen to good people. India (boss) just called me to tell me that Linda's (coworker) husband died suddenly and Gary's (coworker) little girl is in critical condition because of a brain injury.

Linda has been through so much... just now recovering from lung cancer surgery (her first day back would have been tomorrow) and for this to happen to her... It wasn't even expected at all, nothing was wrong with him. They don't even know what happened yet. She's a strong lady though and she's been through so much. I pray she can get through this.

And for Gary... his little girl was playing with her brothers and hit her head... and she had to have brain surgery. India said she's in critical condition. I'm praying that she'll make it through this and be fine. That just breaks my heart too... I can't even imagine how Gary is feeling. He is such a sweet guy and a lot of fun to work with.

Neither of them deserve that. But God does have a plan I guess... and I'll be praying for them. If and when they ever come back to work I don't even know what I'd say to them. What do you say to someone in those situations? "Sorry" doesn't cut it. "I know how you feel" definitely doesn't cut it. I just don't know... I didn't ever know what to say to Linda she found out she had cancer... twice. I don't know if she thinks I just don't care or what but I just don't know what to say.

And to top it all off... I had to ask India for tomorrow afternoon off work when she called. Because that's the only time my group members can meet to practice our presentation.

I hate football

If there is one thing I could change about Alex... it would be his football obsession.

He's watching the Auburn game right now and he keeps screaming and slapping himself/the couch/etc very loudly. It is beyond annoying. Football brings out the worst in him, seriously. You try and talk to him while football is on... he'll go crazy.

I mean... there's nothing wrong in watching the game but when it actually makes you mad... something is wrong. IT IS JUST A GAME. A GAME. OMG!!!

I can't do my case-tutor because it's so loud here. I did study spanish though... so that's good.

Bruised

I want -


Rescue Beauty Lounge - Bruised

But I don't think I can justify spending $18 on a bottle of nail polish anytime soon. Especially when I suck at painting my nails and get frustrated whenever the polish chips and only end up wearing it for like a few hours... yeah...

Senioritus

I have a horrible case of senioritus. I got my real estate test back today and guess what I made? A 17!!! Out of 50! So that's like a 30-something. Now... it wouldn't be as bad if the test wasn't on amortization schedules and mortgages... but I'm a FINANCE major and work for a MORTGAGE company. Wow. That's sad.

We get to drop our lowest test grade... but nonetheless... I'm depressed. I used to be the "smart" girl/honor student and I never, ever even made Cs. Now I'm the girl who never comes to class and makes average grades. I guess that's what 16 years of being a A/B student get you... burnout.

18 hours of senior-level classes + a 15 hour office job + an apartment to maintain + a puppy and fiance to take care of = too much for me right now

I need to graduate ASAP before my GPA completely dies. December 6th can't come soon enough. Will I be ready for the real world? No. I don't even have time for school... much less time to job hunt.

I'm going to force myself to do the case tutor for my 485 class this afternoon. Right after I give Mocha a bath...

I have problems.

On the bright side of my procrastination... Alex found him a halloween costume today when I should have been in class. We found an old air force uniform at Goodwill. We're both going to be airplane captains ;)

Morning

I am so overwhelmed with school right now. I have tons of projects due next week... I can't wait for halloween!!

I hate, hate, hate giving presentations. You know, they say that's something you'll have to do in the corporate world and yeah you do... but it's not the same. I'd almost prefer to do a presentation in front of my co-workers!

Anyway... I made homemade hummus and pita bread last night. The pita bread turned out good but the hummus... ew. It doesn't taste like the kind I like. It may taste like authenic hummus, I don't know... but if so, I don't like it!

Well I better go to work. I hope they have breakfast there this morning. But I doubt it because the boss is out of town... so they might not be having a meeting.

Whoever reads this (though I doubt anybody does), have a great day! :)

Cold

So I'm just lying in bed waiting for 7:45 when I have to leave to go to work. This is my tentative plan for the day-

- Go to work until 10:00
- Go to class from 11:00 - 3:15
- Go run errands with Laila
- Hopefully go to the Petsmart halloween party with mom & Mocha

Busy! Anyway, I found Mocha a costume! A devil :) They didn't have much to choose from but I think she looks pretty cute. I found a costume for me too. An airplane captain/pilot/whatever. Everyone thinks I look like a flight attendant though. I don't know. I just picked the cheapest one (they are all SO expensive!) I could find that I could fit in! Ok... that makes me sound really fat. But no seriously... those costumes are cut extremely small. I had to buy a large... and I'm like 5'4" and 120. It's crazy.

Oh, and remember how I said glo-bus was getting easier? Yeah right. Our group is in last place now. Not sure how that happened... but hopefully we can catch up. I just wish our grade wasn't based on a stupid simulation!!!

Greek

I have a serious craving for some Greek food.
Hummus, feta, gyros, baklava...

Hopefully I'll be having some for dinner!

Tuesdays

I have a feeling that today will be productive. Yesterday morning certainly wasn't... I think I have a sleep addiction or something. Or senioritus. Whatever it is, it's killing my GPA.

But last night I did my Coach, Inc case for MGT 485 and derivatives homework. I wasn't sure I'd have time to get everything finished but I did!

Tonight I have to do Glo-bus stuff, but I should have plenty of time.

A recap of my weekend -

Friday - Went to a mexican restaurant, then came home and fell asleep

Saturday - Laila came over and she cooked hamburger and homemade french fries (OMG so good... I actually had to make some more Sunday because I liked them so much!) while watching the football games. I have to admit, I really really don't like watching football. It's SO boring. Then we didn't even do anything after that!! So that kind of sucked.

Sunday - Went to church, church picnic, then the bridal show down at the convention center... which was a crazy mess.

Well I have to leave to go to work... I'll update more later :)

Overwhelmed

I am so overwhelmed with school and everything.

Friday - After work today I'll have to work on Glo-bus for the team meeting tomorrow. Then maybe I'm going to the Faith vs. Vigor game.

Saturday - Work in the morning until 1:00. Meet with Glo-bus team at 2:00 and work on our company strategy. After that, work on the Coach case.

Sunday - Church at 11:00, follow by picnic. Then the bridal show downtown... then finish Coach case and do derivatives homework

Monday - Finish Coach case and derivatives.

Tuesday - Coach case due.

Wednesday - Glo-bus decisions and strategy due

Thursday - Real estate test and derivatives quiz

Friday - Spanish test

Not to mention I have another case presentation due at the end of the month, an international management case, a international mgt project, glo-bus paper, etc etc etc. OMG!!!

ONE YEAR AWAY

If we keep the date... in 1 year I'll be married to Alex <3 I love him so much!

Today is also our 2 year and 10 month anniversary :D So in honor of that... I'm going to write about how we met.

It was my first ever college class freshman year, English 101 with Mrs. Varnado. I sat in the front of the classroom and Alex sat in the back.



^ Same classroom, same seats. We were bored one Saturday, don't ask.

Anyway, Alex never talked to me but talked to all the other girls. So I assumed he didn't like me. I always had a crush on him though because he was very outgoing and talkative... and I loved that. Opposites attract, I suppose! Anyway, I found him on facebook one day and I added him. He commented "Nice pic" on my wall. We started talking a little after that, a few words here and there. Then one day he walked with me to my class in the MCOB... saying he was going to the engineering building. I knew he was going the wrong way so I knew he was doing it in purpose ;) I gave him my number and he called that Friday and we went to a movie. We went on several dates after that and on December 3, 2005... he drove to my house and told me he liked me. We've been together ever since! Turns out he was just intimidated by me and had a crush on me all along too! On May 29th, 2008 he proposed and on May 31st we moved in together. Everything is just how I dreamed it would be. Of course... I never dreamed I would move in with a guy before I got married... but circumstances come up. I'm much more happier living with him than with my parents.

Good morning

This morning the weather is beautiful.
I really, really wish I could go to the realtor picnic today at work :(
But I have class!

I'm about to leave to go to work in a minute. I'll probably be helping set up for the picnic all morning... at least I hope so. That's so much more fun than scanning.

I'm glad its getting colder outside, now I can start wearing jeans and sweaters and stuff without being hot.

Today I'm wearing a grey pencil skirt, a cotton short-sleeve blue turtleneck, and grey print ballet flats. I HATE the ballet flats because they kill my feet but I had to wear something closed toe.

I'm not so sure how I like the grey nail polish yet. It's almost too dark. They didn't have the pink!

Anyway - my team got 2nd place (out of 8) in Glo-bus again! Yay. The game is turning out to be so much easier than I imagined.

Nail polish

After finding this website - http://www.alllacqueredup.com
I have serious nail polish craving.






I may have to drag Alex to the mall later :x

Baguette Me Not is more my kind of color but... gray is big for fall. Hm.

Graduation

With graduation fast approaching... I've been thinking about what I want for a present. Mom said I could either have a present or a party... not sure if she was being serious or not.

Here is what I WISH I would get. If anything, I would just get the phone, but it's nice to dream!
