Self - Improvement : A Work in Progress

I apologize that the title of this blog is not a Coldplay song, this time it's a Peter Gabriel song from 1986.  This is probably my favorite love song.. And yes, it is because of the John Cusack movie, Say Anything.  Also, my favorite love story.  It really fits my life with Vince.  We love each other but I had to move. But enough of that, I bet you're wondering how all the studying worked for me!  I more than doubled my last test score. I got a 67% on that test. I know, it's not the best score.  But like I said, I more than doubled my last score. So I'm proud of that.  Now for this next test in Business Law, I've been reading and listening to the lectures before the day that the professor goes over it in class. That way it's more of a review in class. Then, before the next test, which is the 11th, I'll listen to all the lectures again. Hopefully two more times.  Anyway, that's all I have for today, have a great night and let me know if you have a...

Hey guys! I'm sorry it has been so long. I got really busy with, uhm.. I'm not entirely sure. I would say school but I haven't been doing anything responsible.. Guess I kinda hit this depression that took me off the grid for a while, I'm not letting myself go any further into my black hole though. I am making myself be productive, I quit my job and now I have to get back on the horse'o life! So! I've decided that the main reason my depression hit is because I haven't been getting sleep or eating healthy. Ive been wasting my time on tv shows like The Vampire Diaries, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, Revenge and Cutthroat Kitchen. No more tv for me, well, in moderation. I am pulling an all nighter, that way I can get my sleep schedule back on track. Tonight I will but studying and cleaning my apartment, I let it get out of hand. Also! You guys might enjoy this, I am going to try out new ways of studying to see which ways work the best. I've al...

So today I don't have any music, I forgot my headphones.. Sad day. I'm in a pretty ticked off mood right now, one of my friends decided to flip out on me for no reason. Then decided to be all super sexist in the conversation we were having. He said "Just because you have a [fill in the blank] doesn't mean you get special treatment over my other friends." Excuse me? Not only did you not say anything about your other friends previously but I NEVER said "Hey I'm female, do what I want." or anything close to that. This all started because I wanted him to have breakfast with me. Nowhere in our conversation was gender mentioned and he just came at me with this. I think he was completely wrong and out of line by assuming that I thought he had to have breakfast with me because I'm a female. Some people really piss me off. Quick being so damn sexist for no reason. It wasn't needed. Also, my readers probably know me better than this guy d...

Hey guys! I almost didn't write tonight, but I decided that it was more important to talk to you than sleep. Tonight was awesome. It was a school event called "Paint the Town Red". They close off Main Street and they hire a band, give out free food, you can pet exotic animals and join clubs! Tonight I got to pet a hedge hog! Like a real one! It was so cute! Here's a picture of her, her name is Meg! And she was pretty chill! Also, They hired the A Cappella group Eclipse. Check them out, they are super good!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1098090431&feature=iv&src_vid=N0g_3XeWUNk&v=T0x1Tebq27A I'm not sure if that link will work but give it a try. I also got a picture with my favorite guy in the group. He looks like Napoleon Dynamite because he did the dance for us.. So ya, my night was pretty great.  Oh my gosh! I almost forgot to tell you guys! I made my first steak tonight too! Gordon Ramsay ta...

Hello once again my readers! I get to talk to you two times today? Lucky me!! I spent all day with my friend Anderson today, it was pretty fun but it was irresponsible. I had some reading that I was supposed to do, I have to do it tomorrow. Along with some other things that I've been putting off. Like sweeping, vacuuming, dishes, unpacking from California. And I should also get my homework done. I have two assignments due on Wednesday. One of them is done though, just have to make it neater. Looks like tomorrow will be a productive day! One of my mother's friends reads my blog now too. I hope she reads this because she will know who she is. But it made my day knowing that she enjoyed reading my rambling. Vincent just told me that I ramble a lot. Kind of made me sad. Once I get further into my classes I'll have more interest in things and try to have debates, but you guys have to talk to me! Comment on my posts! That way I know you guys are out there! Or I'...

So this is a new thing for me, day writing! No, there is no special occasion. I'm on campus for class and my friend Anderson texted me asking if I wanted to have lunch at 2pm with him in our uh...cafeteria? My university doesn't have one but thats the most accurate description. I got out of class at 1pm and I don't feel like driving home only to come back and fight with parking, in just a couple minutes. Plus, if I went home right now I would probably eat. I'm pretty hungry. Oh so guess what! I've really committed to this eating healthy thing! This morning I woke up and made myself a fruit smoothie thingy majigy. I blended ice, peaches, strawberries and bananas. Then! Between classes I went to the gym and walked/ran for 40 minutes. So ya, I'm doing well! Hopefully I can keep it up. My friend Theodore got mad at me for not talking about "our awesome bowling experience." So! here is goes! I think it was Saturday night, Theodore, Vincent (My b...

Hey guys! I know its been something like two weeks since I posted, which I apologize for. My trip back home was for more than a vacation. I went home to California to see my grandma, she'll be 97 in December and she has really bad Dementia. I was told by my family that I needed to see her because they didn't know how much longer she will be around. It was such a long drive, but I had my support system, my boyfriend, with me. It made the drive fun and the visit with my grandma not so heart breaking. I ended up seeing her twice, I made my father, her son, go with me to see her. He probably wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for me talking him into it. This post was supposed to be a short one, I wanted to be in bed by 10pm Utah time but that probably won't happen. Friday, two days before I was leaving for Utah I woke up with a really sore throat.. I thought I was just getting sick but when I got home from seeing my grandma I felt something in the back of my ...

As usual, today's title is from a song I'm listening to, by Coldplay, as always haha. Sorry I didn't write yesterday. I worked all day and when I got home I packed for my trip home to California! That's right! I got up at 6am and left for Cali at 8am! got here at 1pm. Or 2pm Utah time. My boyfriend came over, we picked up his brother, had lunch and saw the new TMNT movie. Before I go further into that, I am not feeling good today, I'm not sure if it's allergies or a cold but I took a Wal-dryl before the movie, which I also watched after getting 4 hours sleep and driving for 7 hours straight. So as I'm sure you have probably guessed, I fell asleep during part of the movie..I'm not a huge  fan of the ninja turtles either. It was an ok movie but I think it was for certain types of people: TMNT fanatics, kids or Megan Fox lovers. I am none of those things. I only went because I knew my boyfriend really wanted to go, he enjoyed the movie. Althou...

Well, it looks like I owe you guys three more things from my bucket list! Go to Disney worlds Hogsmeade  Go to a Renaissance fair Go to a real haunted house Thank you for participating! I can't wait to see what else you guys want to do. Make sure you keep commenting and letting me know! I have decided to give up soda. I realized that I drink a lot of it, and we all know that it is bad for you.  On average each soda has 200 calories.. I'm sorry but thats pretty gross. I'm going to be healthier now and just say no to soda.. Is there anything you guys want to give up to be healthier? I think everyone has at least one thing that they can give up. Whether its fast food, or cell phone use.  Although quitting soda isn't very entertaining, I plan to keep you guys updated on my struggles with my bad habit. I'm really sorry that this post isn't as long as the others but I don't have a lot to say. You guys need to comment and ask me q...

Get situated before you start reading, this is going to be a long one. My uncle and I went to Bryce Canyon today. If you haven't gone before, you really should! It is so beautiful. There is a canyon before Bryce..I think it's called Red Canyon, GORGEOUS. Makes the drive worth it. Here check out Bryce: After that we decided we wanted some food. So we headed to my work, but on the way to my work we went through Zion National Park. Which is another must see. I didn't take many pictures there but I do have a picture of a goat for you guys! And in case you guys wanna get creepy, that man is not my uncle. I had such a great time with my uncle. He is so full of wisdom. Long car rides with him aren't awkward or boring. They are full of lessons, and not boring ones. Believe me, that last thing my uncle has are boring stories. He is on his way up north now, which saddens me slightly. I don't see him very often. Also, I just want to thank my fr...

Tonight I don't plan on writing a lot. This day took so much out of me. I didn't wake up when I wanted to but I still managed to shower before starting my 50 mile drive to work. And yes, I do drive all that way every time I have to work. Oh! reason behind my title. I'm definitely listening to Burning Down the House by the the Talking Heads. You know it, and if you don't, shame on you, look it up. Anyway when I got to work today I was supposed to be hosting (seating people). But it got so busy, and the servers can only handle so many tables. When each server had 6 tables they made me go serve too. I like serving because of the money but I really just wanted a break. It is a lot of work. And for all you Mr. Pinks out there, you better tip, and be nice to your waitress. You don't understand the stress until you've done it. So I took three tables and made $14 in about an hour. When the rush was over I was allowed to go back to hosting, thank goodness. W...

I'm writing tonight's post to the song 'Life in Technicolor II' By Coldplay. I forgot how much I enjoy Coldplay. They can put me in such a relaxed mood. Almost perfect for writing. I've had a pretty bland day. I got up around 11am, which is way later than I wanted to get up.. I used my color chart, which told me I should wear lavender on Mondays.. It helps me get dressed faster in the morning ha. Anyway, I took my finals today.. It went bad for accounting, but I didn't really expect any different. Cheers to taking that class a third time! I'm not stupid I swear. I just lacked conviction lately. Which will change. My math final went pretty well..Matching graphs to equations is my downfall so I'm sure I missed a few points there, I passed the class though! When I got home I realized that I had the rest of my day to myself, some people love that feeling, nothing to do. I'm not like others, I prefer to be busy, keeps my mind off things. One of...

So it has been a long time since I've written on here.. I'm still going to the school of my dreams ---Not doing so well, but what can I do? I'm trying to have more fun though, I believe I talked about doing things that I wouldn't normally do in one of my previous posts... like two years ago. Anyway! I decided to join the ballroom team at my school. I took lessons from one of the friends I made in the dorms, and I ended up actually making the team I had to try out with a bunch of girls and I actually made it. It was quite the experience. I never thought that I could be a dancer, but it was something that I really wanted to do. so I went for it. I was on the team for a year! I performed on a huge stage in front of thousands of people and made friends, lots of them.Without ballroom I wouldn't have nay friends right now. So I am very grateful. My grades started to fall, I don't want to admit but I'm pretty sure it was because of ballroom. My pock...
