3/8

As of yesterday, I am officially 3/8 of the way through college! I can't believe it but, I'm so very excited about it! Yesterday also marked 1 month until my friend's wedding! I can't believe it, but I'm so very excited about it! Today marks 1 month until I start my summer job! I can't believe it, but I'm so very excited about it! Hmm, seems I've developed I theme here.....

So did you figure out what I was doing here? Well, I was working on my final project for my Educational Psych course. It was a lesson plan that I did on past tense verbs. I know, riveting right? Trust me, it was better than the other project I worked on last week. Plus, I managed to work in a Dr. Seuss book. Good stuff  :)

Today, I'm enjoying my first full day of being done with school! It's been wonderful--complete with iced coffee! Hope your day was just as wonderful!

What I've Been Up To

I don't have time for much of an update. Suffice it to say that the weekend was fantastic! I promise more about that later. For now, can you guess what I've been up to?

*Hint: It's finals week, and I'm and education major.

Absent

Sorry that I've been pretty much MIA this week. Only one more week of classes and that means tons of final papers and projects. Luckily I've been able to get it all done. We'll see about next week. *sigh*

This weekend I'm heading up to my favorite place in the Poconos--Pinebrook!

It's the annual Ladies' RefresHer. Lame name I realize, but always a ton of fun. Perhaps it is foolish to go away the weekend before finals, but I probably wouldn't have done any work this weekend anyway. I procrastinate like that. At least this way I can have some fun with my Mom :)
See you all on Sunday . . .or Monday!

Project April Update

Happy Monday everybody!! Last week was a busy one. I had to write the first draft of my final paper for College Writing 2 and then I spent much of Friday and Saturday baking for my brother's friends, the Men of Churchill. They always come to our house near the end of the semester for a home-cooked meal. My mom does the cooking and I do the baking. We like it like that. Though tonight I'm doing the cooking too, chicken here I come. I love cooking chicken. It's kinda a weird thing to love, but there's so much you can do with a boneless, skinless chicken breast :P
Anywho...... what does that have to do with Project April? Well, it means that pretty much no new organization has taken place in my room. And that baking? Let's just say it made me terrified to get on the scale this morning for my Monday weigh-in. But guess what?? Down 2.6 pounds! Yes! It's a good day :)

Shoes

I missed out on linking up with Raw(e) this week because I was in the middle of working on my final paper for College Writing 2. But I thought the theme was really cool. I like the idea of taking a picture with a theme in mind. So . . . that being said, I took a picture anyway :) This week's theme? Shoes.

An Interesting Fact

A friend of mine shared this interesting fact with me on Sunday. It is especially interesting to me as a Brooklynite. Thought you all non-Brooklyn people might be interested too.

Project April Update

I just got done doing the shred so I'm in cool down, drink tons of water mode. I figured now was a good time to update you all :)
I'm officially down 5 pounds which is exciting but not quite as much as I would have liked by this point. I keep telling myself I'm adding muscle with the shred but who knows . . .
This week is going to be crazy busy with school. But, as we all know, you can't sit for 8 hours straight doing schoolwork and not take some breaks! Today, I spent my breaks finally organizing that last drawer of my desk and I must say it looks great! Here's some before and after pics!

As you can clearly see, this drawer was full of junk. I pulled it completely out to make sure I got everything and could wipe the whole thing clean of pencil shavings.

 Now, here it is nice and organized. As I said I pulled everything out of the drawer and sorted it into piles based on function. From there, it was easy to see what belonged in the drawer and what had gotten thrown in there, which, unfortunately, wasn't much. Almost all of it went back into the drawer. But now you can see what's there!

Even the back of the drawer that I can never reach anyway is organized!

This makes me happy :)
