down the rabbit hole

So I’m sitting here at work… freaking bored out of my mind. Manager left for the day, apparently he’s going to WFH the rest of the day, and it didn’t occur to him to leave me with anything to do. Hmm. I’m going to overlook the fact that he also didn’t say goodbye b/c apparently that’s common. If I were in school at least I could do homework right now, but I have nothing. I’ve been playing bejeweled on my phone for about an hour. I think I’m going to look through the excel index to see what kinds of fun things I can learn. Good times.

Well I survived the first day of my internship. I’m exhausted though. I didn’t even do anything and I’m so tired. I guess being on my best behavior really takes a lot of energy.

Sadly I am too tired even to think of something interesting to say so I think I will just go chill out until bed time. I skipped my run today b/c it was cold and I was wet and I just didn’t really feel like it. So to make it up, I’m making myself run in the morning before work instead. Should be interesting since I’ve gotten used to getting up at 6 anyway. And it will be a nice habit to get into

UGH. That quiz had nothing to do with the homeworks and the sample tests. I’m sure I got nothing right. What a mess. At least it was the last one and I don’t have to do anything else for this stupid accounting class until the final. Oh yeah… and some homework problems. At least there isn’t a project for this class.

On a positive note, assuming there is nothing glaringly wrong with my management paper, that is all taken care of.

So the only things left are:

MGMT
- watch enron movie
- last reading

OMIS
- hmwk 12, 13, 14
- term paper
- STUDY FOR FINAL

ACTG
- hmwk Ch. 19
- STUDY FOR FINAL!

FNCE
- STUDY FOR LAST QUIZ
- Hmwk 6
- Hmwk 7
- PROJECT
- STUDY FOR FINAL!

sigh….

caloric intake: 1726 (oy!!)
exercise: 3 mi run, 300yd swim
general mood: mixed but mostly tired

its really hard to look at how many calories I’m taking in and think that I will ever lose weight, but I’m still under in terms of the range that sparkpeople gives me.  Plus I’m also exercising way more so that has to count for something.

I don’t know how I’m going to manage these next few weeks.  I think if I can get through the second IDIS paper in the next few days I will be feeling much better.  Then I can run the outline for the CSR paper friday, and finish it up on Saturday after the rents-in-law pick up Kayla.

Then I will only have 2 quizes, 1 paper, 1 project, and 3 Finals. oh goooooody.

I’m excited to hang with Kayla.  I think she’s just going to be coming over and hanging out.  We can watch movies and chill.  I know that she has to get through some of her homework

I know I know, I swore I wouldn’t blog in class but I think this is a special, oh so very special circumstance.

I’m sitting in what MUST be the most ridiculous waste of $700 and and 8hours of a day. I’ve given up even pretending to pay attention. In my defense, I am still a little buzzed from the bottle of wine that M and I shared during the break. And the wine was crap, but it was such a good call

and… here we go again. oh accounting class what is it about you that makes me want to blog?

I’m just sitting here in yet another awkward silence thinking about how much weight I will lose on this bland diet. only blad foods means definitely no more taco bell on the way home from school. so sad.

I checked the weather and it looks like tomorrow is another rainy day. Maybe there will be a long enough break in the weather for me to go for a run. ahhhh, running. That is definitely helping with the tight pants problem. I feel flatter tummy already. The next race is Muddy buddy at the beginning of June. Too bad that is the weekend before finals, and with 4 classes I doubt I will be able to take off a day of studying to run around in the hot sun and swim through mud. Looking forward ot 18 months from now when there will be no more studying to muck up my weekend plans.

ooh, break time!

hmmm… 7 minutes on the definition of “axiom.” Not that I could have given a completely accurate definition of the term, but I certainly didn’t need this long of an explanation. For the record, per my chrome dictionary: axiom is a statement or idea which people accept as being true.

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if this class weren’t so boring. BORING. This is way worse than my 3 hour accounting class. The chairs are uncomfy, its in a difficult building, and its Monday. Need I say more?

I do have to say though, that blogging through class could be a negative way to spend class time. And also a dangerous habit.

The Women in Business conference was this weekend. It went well I think. We didn’t quite make our numbers, but whatevs.

I’m sitting in class and I’m noticing how already my homework assignments and commitments are multiplying like drunk rabbits. Trying not to get stressed out about this b/c it is exactly what I signed up for when I added a 4th class and signed up to help out with the finance network and also women in business, and insist on signing up for every freaking event the school offers.

But this is good. It keeps me from thinking about the weight gain and facial issues that I’ve been dealing with. WTF. I guess it’s because I went back on birth control, but my body feels squishy and my face is breaking out all over the place. I’m hopeful that if I just keep washing my face at night and avoid picking that these malignancies will go away eventually.

As for the weight gain… I ran on Sunday (3 mi), and again today (2.5 mi). I’m waiting to find out if I still have a job before I sign up for the new yoga studio. But oh, to get back to yoga… that would make my body happy.

As for the job situation… I have no idea what is going on. Ginnie quit so I was technically laid off, but she is trying to get me hired on in a part time capacity. That being said, I submitted my resume online, Jay asked me about my hours, he’s been giving me work directly, but I have no idea what any of that means. Since I was totally caught off guard and I’d been spending every penny I made, I’m trying to take a more conservative approach and just save save save. But I can assure you bloggy that the first thing I will do when I get job confirmation – is finish up my laser treatment. I’m looking forward to the day when I don’t have to shave my underarms ever again.

OK I suppose I should probably start paying attention now.

number of days since I purchased the 6-pack of 5-hr energy drinks: 2
number of bottles I’ve downed: 3

I love finals. I really do. Its not just the massive amount of information that is daunting, but also the fact that often, these damn tests are worth as much as 50% of my grade. !??!?!!?

I bribed myself this morning with a breakfast burrito and a fresh box of candy. So now i’ve barricaded myself in a conference room in Lucas Hall until I can get through stats and another course concept for mgmt. I am REALLY looking forward to the end of this quarter.

I did rearrange my schedule this morning. After reviewing several internship postings, I realized that Econ is not a crucial a class as say… Computer-Based decision models. I’m sure this will work out fine, I will just take Econ over the summer. And if the swaparoo gets me a gig for the summer, then win-win.

OK, enough procrastinating… the mixed-berry flavored gummybeary juice is kicking in.

I’ve spent the better part of two hours trying to write something for my management class that should really only take me 45 minutes… and I’m not even close to done. Clearly I don’t have writes block b/c I have no trouble writing to you, bloggy. Maybe its selective writer’s block, like selective hearing. My brain is choosing to be stumped on a topic that I have absolutely no interest in. It just feels a little hokey and trite.

On a positive note, it supposed to be nice again tomorrow so I can go for a nice run. No baxter though, he really makes running difficult b/c he’s always trying to stop and smell the flowers and dog pee. I wish my new headphones had come in already. Since when does Amazon take 2 full weeks to do anything!!?!
