Ah...good noise!

Okay, so being that I'm in the middle of finals week I've been studying a ton. When I study I need to have some noise, but nothing that has words because then I go off on that track, and it's hard to get back to what I should be doing. Well, I had been using different clasical music, and some music that I use when I give massages, which is very relaxing and such. However, even that music was actually getting to be...too predictable?...and I'd start humming along in my head, or just not paying as much attention as I should when I'm studying. So I googled "white noise", and found this website, simplynoise.com, it's awesome! They have white noise, pink noise, and brown noise...I didn't even know other colors of noise existed! So I have been studying to these noises instead, and wow, it really makes a huge difference! I highly recommend checking it out, esp. if you're in need of something to help with studying! Speaking of...I better get back to that!

Over and out!

Fighting the cold season...

It's been a while since I posted last, but I've been a bit busy with exams and papers on my plate. This past weekend I was studying for my OChem exam, which was incredibly boring, but I got through a lot more than what I was expecting. Sunday evening I was starting to feel a little under the weather which was not cool at all because my test was Monday which meant that I was going to take my exam not feeling well. So Monday I take the test, and then headed to the gym for a bit of a workout. However because I was feeling so lousy I only did a short workout before ending it. I decided to try and get this cold out of here before it really gets a good hold, so I went to the store to pick up some Ester-C, Alka-Seltzer Plus (Day & Night), and orange juice. I drank all of the 64 ounces of OJ within a matter of a couple hours, and took the Ester-C, and Alka-Seltzer Plus (daytime) and in a matter of a couple hours was feeling much better! I also went to bed incredibly early...I was actually in bed by 9:00pm, and was asleep shortly after and slept for about 12 hours! I'm sure part of that was due to the fact that I had taken the night time dose of the Alka-Seltzer Plus a couple hours prior. Anyway, I'm feeling tons better today, and thankfully didn't have to go anywhere today so I was able to rest up, and take care of myself a little more than usual. Finals are coming up so I doubt I'll post much, if at all until after I head home for break, so have a nice week or so!

Over and out!

Not here please!

Okay, so today I was sitting in the lunch room at school, eating lunch, and just relaxing a little before my next class. Anyway, so as I was sitting there talking with a classmate of mine I hear a noise...a very distinct noise. Some one was cutting their finger nails! UGH!!! Okay, this must be one of my biggest pet peeves because seriously it drives me nuts! I'm all about people trimming their nails, but PLEASE don't do it in public, and especially not in a place where people eat! Go to the bathroom and do that...or hey, do it at home! Okay, I just had to get that out there! Thanks!

Over and out!

So today is my sister's 28th* (plus a couple extra years...hehe) birthday!
I was able to go home this past week and surprise her which was great!
We were able to hang out some which was really wonderful!
Anyway, so Stinky...Happy birthday! You're amazing in so many ways, and it's been so awesome getting to hang out with you more often! I love you!!!
Love you,
Stinky!

A few updates...

So I know it's been a while, but I've been rather busy lately. So I'll go through some highlights from the past couple weeks or so.

  • I surprised a bunch of people for Thanksgiving! (I wasn't planning on actually going home, and at the last minute decided to make the long, but wonderful trip home!)
  • I was able to hang out with my nephew for a while which was great because it's only a few times a year that I get to see him. He's getting so big!!! Love that boy!
  • I went ice skating with my sister, nephew, and a couple of my cousins...it was a blast!
  • I made brunch for a few friends and was able to catch up and laugh...so great!
  • One night when it was only going to be my mom and I at home for most of the evening we played Rummikub! I miss playing games with my parents so much! Hopefully we'll play lots of them when I'm home next!
  • My family from Indy came up, which was so wonderful to see them! I hadn't seen them since I left to come out to school in June...Lots has changed since then...more to come as well!
  • It seems like I hadn't been home in forever, and now I'll be out there again in just a few weeks! YAY!!!
  • On my way home there were accidents everywhere because of the black ice, blowing snow, and terrible wind...thankfully I've driven in that stuff enough to know to just slow down and keep lots of space, but it wasn't fun!

Hopefully Thanksgiving was as wonderful for you as it was for me! Until next time...

Over and out!
