Gimme Break.

This week can not go any slower! I guess that’s what happens when you are looking forward to the next week.  On Sunday, I will be driving 4 hours to Duluth for a Conference (SkillsUSA if anyone has heard of it).  I am the president of the Minnesota Chapter and Sunday-Wednesday is our Delegates Conference, which means I pass on my crown to someone else to carry on the duties.  It will be super sad because I get attached to people and I hate saying bye.  But it will also be fun and exciting because I get to reunite with the rest of the 7 Officers (the V.P, Treasurer, Historian, Parliamentarian..e.t.c).  So that will take up my Sunday through Wednesday.  When that is over, I get to see my family! I am really looking forward to it, especially because there has been so much going on right now, I would very much like to be with them. And EAT! of course. My break is not all play, no no no.  I will return to my home store ( A & F at the MOA) and I will be working all break.  Including Black Friday. Oh dear. But it will be worth it, I get to see my friends!  Oh, and getting some spending money won’t hurt either.

I hope you all will have an AMAZING break =]

(P.S. Linda is sitting in the same room as I am writing this.  I think she is blogging also.  Just in case you were wondering.)

 

Cycle of Stress

After the guest speaker came and talked to us about stress, I realized that I stress out a lot.  And I figured out that I procrastinate often, which causes me to stress out.  But I can not not procrastinate if I am not stressed out.  This is a cycle you will never want be in, because you will simply not win! And also I figured I am all about positive reinforcement.  If I do well on something or if a teacher thinks I am doing a good job, I am more likely to get homework done right away for that class (hint hint) Just kidding!

Other than my stress problems, everything is going great. My sport teams are doing AMAZING (Vikings and Celtics are both 7-1!!)

 

Things are looking up : )

So I have noticed the couple of posts have I done are super despressing and sad, but it just so happens that this last week/weekend was amazing and this weekend will be also! I had an amazing time with my family this fall break.  I got to see my sister and my home friends, whom I have missed a lot.  And this weekend is Halloween, and a group of us are getting all dressed up in hopes for a good time.  I hope it will  be as I expected it to be!

 

What a wonderful start..

So this morning I get up at 4:45 to go to work by 6 (we have updates at hollister and we do them before the store opens) but of course as soon as I am all ready to go, I get to my car and I won’t start! This happened after work once and my friends had to come pick me up, then we went back the next day, and recharged my battery cause we simply thought it was dead. But now my engine light in on. Perfect.

 

College..

So my life has officially become more stressful then I expected.  I have a HUGE speech coming up for Public Discourse, I have a test in Psychology and Anthropology coming up next week, and I have to read 2 books for my FTS.  This means I will not be enjoying my weekend this weekend. Oh.. college life.

However, I have been doing well in my classes. (Could be because we haven’t really had a huge project yet…) Oh, also I have officially decided to quit my job at Hollister. I was really too much to handle.. along with the work I do here.  So I hope this would make me less stressed!

Well I hope you guys enjoy the “warmer” weather this weekend!

 

Yes! I’m alive.

Well, last week was HORRIBLE.  I was extremely ill.  I was coughing to the point where it was hard to breathe.  I had to miss 2 days of classes! I hate being sick but I hate the make up work more.

Last week, even though I was on my death -bed, I went to the author’s lecture.  I found it interesting.  She brought up perspectives that outsiders would not typically understand.  And now I think about it, if she had not taken the trip herself, she would not have understood the hardship the immigrant endure.  It was an eye opening experience.  Body parts lost, girl’s getting raped, and people dying of thirst and hunger, all this just to MAYBE see their parent(s).  I guess this shows how important a parent’s love really is.

 

Home.

So this Friday I went home! It was so great to see my parents and my younger sister once again.  It was also great to be in a big city with the big mall.  Moving to St.  Peter is a huge change for me.  Living in Bloomington is so different.  There are a lot more things going on, more stores, and more people.  And I kind of miss being surround by people, people whom you will most likely never see in the same place nor time again.  I also missed my work friends! I work at A&Fitch at MOA so it is a hard transition to start working here in Mankato Hollister.  The mall seems so empty! Then again, I did work at one of the busy malls in the world.  Nevertheless, I am settling in quite nicely. I feel slightly homesick at times, but then I go to my neighbors, and that feeling disappears, and I get really happy again : D

 

Ahhh!

I knew being a college kid meant ramen, freshmen 15 and TONS of homework, but there are a lot of things I just found out. For example, Naps!! I seriously did not understand just how much a 15 minute nap can do for me. It does wonders, I kid you not. Also, I did not think I would be so LAZY. I used to get up in the morning, get ready (which would normally take like an hour or so) head to class, try to stay up during the classes, and head to school. But now, I roll up out of bed 15 minutes before class begins, rush through the crowd of 8 amers and make my way to the other side of campus. And I used to wash my clothes after the one time I wear it.. yeah… not so much anymore.  As for my classes, I ACTUALLY HAVE to pay attention… (sometimes I actually CHOOSE too.. I mean I am paying for it) And it helps that the classes are sooo interesting! But I break from hardcore reading would be delightful. Nevertheless, I am absoultely enjoying the Gustie way of living. And as for the freshmen 15, I live on the 5th floor of co ed. That automatically cuts it down to a freshmen 5.

(P.S. I know I was supposed to post my blog on Monday, and I thought I did. But it just saved it as a draft. So I am sorry!)

 

Hmm.

This is me. I’m blogging
