Getting it together.

It has been so long since I've updated. I need to take more care of this blog!

I've decided to run a 5k the day after my birthday- April 14th. That is roughly five weeks away. I need to buckle down on my 'training.' I haven't been very committed to it. So far I can get to 3.77 miles in 60 minutes. I really bad want to finish the 5k in under 36 minutes. With the 60 minute time I was jogging and walking. In five weeks I'm hoping to be able to jog/run the entire thing. Even today I feel like I'm able to walk faster.

I did work out today. I felt great. I used to not appreciate having a workout buddy, but I really do love it. I walked with Jori for about two miles and then we did some weight machines. I feel great. Actually, before I went I was feeling really sick, like I was going to throw up. I've come to the conclusion that it is because of this energy stuff I take and I get sick feeling if I don't use up the energy, like if I just lounge around. I don't feel sick at all any more!

I found out that I got a 91 on my Statistics test! :) wOOT! I'm doing well in all my classes so far, however I'm worried about my upcoming Accounting test.

This week I need to focus on my Macroeconomics class! I have a test on Thursday. I also have a Speech presentation on Thursday that I need to work on. Well, that stresses me out a little!

Today I went to Wal-Mart after finding out that I had quite a bit of money, well, more than I thought! :) I bought some primer, which I read is really helpful. I got a redness reducing one. My skintone is naturally really red. So, hopefully that helps! I also got some new under eye concealer. I don't actually own any normal concealer though. I want to buy some berry coloured lip stick, but nothing really caught my eye. Finally I bought two magazines, All You and Family Circle. I have a magazine weakness.

I'm rereading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. That is seriously my all-time favorite book. I think it is a bit funny that I'm in my last year as a teen and this feels like the one time that I'm getting my act together.

Here's the plan...

I have tons of homework to do. To be honest, I am procrastinating by typing this. I have a ten page paper, a five page paper, three accounting assignments, a case study (three to four pages), 100 quizzes, 20 online tests, 5 online exams, extra credit surveys, AAUW meetings, and final exams in four classes. Then I have work. :( I have to get half of that done this week because my boyfriend said he would come visit me if I did. :) So I have to!!

I really miss him and I really want him to come. Plus, my roommate is having her ex come up and some friend and maybe her new boytoy. I just don't want to be around all that. ICK!

To help me 'de-stress' I want to do my nails in a holiday way! I haven't decided what though. I'll get back to you on that.... With pictures.

Ugh, I cannot stop Drake's "Marvin's Room" from continuously replaying in my head. I'm loving Drake's voice this week. Almost addicted...

Well, I'm going to start my accounting assignments...

Anxiety

I have this nagging feeling that I'm missing a deadline. I truly hate it. Right now we are on a break from school until Monday and I cannot thoroughly enjoy myself because I just have this sense of dread taht I'm forgetting someting.

Hopefully I can get pass it.

Late Night

Pictures of the pumpkin I made for Halloween!

I'm a little peeved at my roommate right now, but let's not dwell on that.

I just finished doing my accounting homework which is due on Friday. Yay for not doing it the morning it is due! :) I feel quite please with myself.

On Tuesday I want to the school's casino night. It was a learning experience. I went with Patricia. We ate at Johnny Rockets first and then went over. They had food there! Dang it! I missed out on a free dinner night. I'll have to remember that for next time. The night ended with an auction for all kinds of prizes including a Wii and an iPad. I used to not care for iPads, but now that some book publishers are coming out with study material apps for iPads I want one! Haha. I'm so fickle!

I'm still working on my schedule for Spring Semester. I was going to try and do only Tuesday and Thursday, but I realized that regardless of what days I have class, I'll still have to work sometime. So, by only going to classes on Tuesday and Thursday that means I'll be swamped those days because all the tests and homework due dates will fall on those two days. Spencer helped me decide that I should at least do Monday through Thursday and then I can try and keep my Friday off from everything.

It is 4:00am! I'm tired, but I just don't want to go to bed! I have work tomorrow though, so I really should go. However, here are some more pictures of nails that I haven't posted.

Obviously glitter!

Heart tips.

Swirls... One of my favs!

My nails for halloween. I told people that the ghosts were souls from all the boys I dated. Don't mess with Lexy!

That's all for now! Bye!!

Another Catch-Up Post

Last weekend was great!
Spencer came down to Stillwater and we celebrated our third anniversary... again. The first time was a bit awkward simply because we weren't alone at any given moment.

He came down on Friday and we went and watched The Immortals. It was good and I loved seeing all the muscular men. ;) He also surprised me with a letter AND a giant bag of chocolate. Considering it was that 'time of the month,' he's a smart boy. :) We hurried back to campus after the movie so that we could get Spencer a pizza from Oregano's. He loves their pizzas. It was there that I did my good deed of the day, I bought some kid's food because his card said it was out of money.

On Saturday we went to the Tulsa Mall, it was a bit boring. We got two new CDs from that shady music booth. I got White Boy Wasted which has Eminem (the guy pulled us in because I was wearing my Eminem shirt) and Yelawolf. Spencer got something else.... I don't really remember what it was though. Haha, lame I know. Then we got our Chinese food from the 'Japanese' restaurant at the foodcourt which is ALWAYS so yummy.

After the mall we went to Laser Quest! Woo! :) The first game I got second place, the second game I got ninth. The second game was really lame though. It was me and Spencer against this group of boys. Spencer got so ticked off that he literally walked out of the game. It was super annoying, not him but the way the game went. The boys kept pushing and grabbing my gun. The first game was much more enjoyable.

One thing I've noticed is that Spencer is getting way better about driving in areas that he is not used to. He isn't freaking out so much and he doesn't let it bother him so much if we don't know exactly where we are going. It made the drive a lot less stressful.

We came back and ate pizza rolls and watched Misfits. That show is so incredibly hilarious. I absolutely loved it. I watched the first two seasons over this weekend. Spencer and I just laid in bed and cracked up all night. I read somewhere that America is going to remake it and try it out in the US. I don't think it'll work out. The show is very very inappropriate. I think the same problems that came with Skins will also occur if they try to American-ize Misfits. :( Why mess with a good thing? Haha.

Sunday Spencer and I went and ate at Sirloin Stockade. They always have such poor service. We literally had to get up and get our own drinks. We didn't even leave a tip. It made me feel criminal, but honestly the woman never checked on us. So, she really doesn't deserve it. Afterwards we went to Hastings and then Wal-Mart. Spencer left around one in the morning. :( I miss him.

We also found out that we won't be celebrating Thanksgiving with his family. Not how they usually do it, at least. Usually it is all of his family... Great grandparents, grandparents, his family (mom, dad, junior, jason, sasha, shelby), his aunt's family (her, her husband, her five kids), and then sometimes his uncles come with their wives and children (so sometimes an additional three to eight people). It is usually a huge get together, but I guess his grandparents are going on a cruise so that isn't happening. I'm a little sad. Hopefully I can get Spencer some of our Thanksgiving dinner. He'll be at work by the time my family celebrates.

The first one, candy corn, didn't last too long. So, for the second I added a mustache to the thumb for No-Shave November.

I saw Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain yesterday. He was very humorous and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it. His accent was a plus, too. :)

Last weekend I saw Paranormal Activity 3 with Spencer, Sasha, and Shelby. It was mediocre, but thinking back on it I realize that they are ALL mediocre. So, I suppose that that shouldn't be a surprise. We also went to the 13th Ward which was a spook walk.

Today is the 1st of November though. I need to start focusing on school and health. This week I am going to a wedding. So, yay! Haha, it'll be my first wedding except they aren't doing it the traditional way. So, I'll still be kind of clueless when it comes to that. :/ Oh well.

Today my plan is to study for my accounting test tomorrow and clean my room. That's about it really.

Today I took care of some of my homework stuff. Yay. I think I might get ahead tonight and do some more homework. I really should work ahead of schedule especially since I might not have internet at Spencer's right off that bat. I need to make sure that that won't kill my grades. Right now I have a 113 in my geography class. The class is really interesting. It makes me dream like crazy though. I want to help all the underdeveloped countries in Africa and learn Mandarin Chinese or move to Japan. Haha. :) I know... Chinese and Japanese are different, but yeah...

I just made a playlist for my boyfriend. So, when he comes I will download it on to his iPod and when he listens to it, he'll think of me. :) That's the plan anyway.

My dad wants me to clean the dining room. I don't know why he is being so adament that I do it. Actually, it is kind of bothering me. It isn't my mess. It is mom's and my sister's stuff. o.O He keeps giving me little suggestions of what to do with my free time and they all involve cleaning the dining room. Whatever.

I painted my nails today. They look lovely!

Also, did I mention that my mom got the cat a catnip plant? He loved it at first. I think he got a little sick of it though. Hopefully it keeps him out of her garden though. Haha, here's some pictures:

I don't think I've mentioned it, but his name is Thomas.

Sometimes we call him Monster.

He's my handsome lil man.

That's all for now!
