I try to only drink water and juice. Usually this is OJ, sometimes apple or grape juice. I steer clear of soda and coffee. This has been going on since the summer. When I do drink soda I drink Diet Coke. I like to be nutrtion conscious. Today, however, I am breaking my own rules. After my test at 8 AM this morning I went to Starbucks and got a caramel frappe. Yum. I need the caffeine today. I think I did well on my Marketing test. I know I prepared a lot and there were only a few questions that I did not know. I am expecting an A on the test. Marketing is a fun class and the instructor reminds me of my Mom's friend LeeAnn. I have mentioned LeeAnn before on this blog, I guess because I have so many memories of her and she made such an impression on me growing up. I thought she was so cool. LeeAnn was a single parent, like my mom, and Catholic, like we are. She was an old fashioned Cathoic and still did things like fast on Fridays and cover her head to go into mass. She looked like Goldie Hawn and had a very Banana Rama style. Big curly blonde hair and big earrings at all times. She and my Mom were hilarious...I mean a real riot. The instructor reminds me a good bit of LeeAnn so I already feel like I know her (weird how that happens) and she makes class fun. Some of my other classes this semester make me want to pull my hair out. In my career here at USC I have been an exemplary student and am always attentive in class. I think it is rude to the instructor to be act otherwise. This semester I am breaking that rule too. One of my classes is so boring I read the Daily Gamecock during it, including doing the crossword puzzle. His teaching style and rambling are so headache inducing, I'm going to have to start doing the suduko too. This is how I feel this week:
I am so thankful this week is almost over. It has been rough. Several tests, quizzes and assignments. I have managed to go to the gym with AM twice and got in really good workouts both times. Last night I knew from a time management perspective it would be better to skip my workout, but the stress relieving benefits outweigh everything else.
This week was busy with school. Next week will be busy with other stuff. Shawn's surgery Monday, which I am having to come into town for and skip class. I don't mind. I looove him. Then back here for a busy week at work. We are getting ready to go to Institute again. I am working as much as possible next week around classes. This makes me happy, b/c it means a bigger paycheck. I am still eyeing those shoes, new jeans, a new top...there is a turquoise sweater at Express that is so me. I also want to get it in white for my Mom to give to her as a birthday gift. Her birthday is early October. And I still have an outfit in mind to wear under my cap and gown at graduation. I am going to get my cap and gown tomorrow! Yay!
Tomorrow after my six hour long class my friend J is coming into town. We are planning on going out for a yummy dinner and then for drinks. We have plans to go out in the Vista b/c J wants to be away from the college scene. No Five Points. After all, we're old! Adults go to the bars in the Vista. I am thinking maybe sushi or The Clubhouse for dinner...thens stops at Jillian's, Liberty, Rust and perhaps Ra. Only if there is not riff raff in Ra. A Bloody Mary is definetly in my future. Saturday I'll be on my way to watch the Gamecocks play. Good Luck Gamecocks!!
And Sunday home to spend some quality time with Shawn before his surgery. I want to make a really good meal and will probably chose a Rachael Ray recipe. He won't be eating much for several days so I want to make it a good one. If you have any good recipes, send 'em my way!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
