Long Awaited Post

It's been a while since my last post, but sad to say not much has happened. I have mainly just been working out, laying by the pool, going to class, and working. I know I live a busy life. But over the past few weeks I have had some amazing triumphs.

I left my story waiting for hear from the journalism school, and after talking to my advisor I found out the sad truth that I will not hear from the J-school until early August. I would be lying if I said the agony wasn't killing me.

Staying on the subject of school I am doing great in my accounting class. I ended up getting a 91% on our first test!

Cute isn't it?

I also discovered Urban Outfitters was having a free shipping weekend, and as a result I am now the new owner of high-waisted denim shorts. Two days after receiving my shorts I also got another package from Urban. My mom being the fabulous mother she is bought me the sky blue blazer I have been yearning for, and also surprised me with earrings to match.

In other news I also finally made $2,000 for in-state tuition! All I need to do is get a Missouri license and become a registered voter in the state of Missouri. This is becoming a successful summer.

Sadly, I thought I would have more to talk about, but I can't think of anything else. Well, time to make a list of things, and first on the list is to get a life!

Love, bear

Long time

I know it's been a long time since I've written. I've been quite busy, or at least I like to think so. It's kind of like my life has been so busy I haven't had time to write about it; I just have to live it. I finished applying for the journalism school (which I still haven't heard about). I ended my my spring semester, and am officially a junior. I also went home for a bit where I saw my family and friends.

I also start accounting tomorrow. But for the past few weeks I have been working, laying out, and working out. I guess you could say I am living the dream. Hopefully it will all be worth it. Well I'm beat. a 30 hour work week will do that to you. (Hey, it's a lot for me. I don't think I've ever worked this much!)

Love, bear

Life check

I know I've been M.I.A. for the past few weeks, but school and work is proving to take over my life. Hopefully after I finish my appeal packet for my major I will have more time to update everyone on my life. But until that day comes I will be working my butt off.

Love, bear

A missed calling

After successfully creating another meal I believe that I should've been a chef. For Easter dinner, Kenzie and I created a delicious portobello mushroom dish. I would love to go on and on about how great it is, but alas a woman's job is never done. Today was very proactive. I tanned for three hours, talked to my mother, got the mail, went on a run, helped Sarosh clean, made dinner, and now I am off to do laundry and finish my homework. So much to do, so little time.

If you are in the market for a new cook, you know how to reach me.

Love, bear

I know I've been lacking in post

Will someone please tell my teachers I have more important things to be doing than studying for their tests and doing homework for their classes? Like blogging. That is all.

Love, bear

Life check, please

Chipotle must be rubbing off on me.
I actually cooked something successfully. 

I can't remember the last time I pulled an all nighter. In fact, I'm sure that I haven't. That is right; never in my 20 years of existence have I stayed up for a full night doing homework. I think the latest I ever stayed up for school was until two or three in the morning to finish my final draft for my final paper in Freshman English. The paper was about the differences and similarities between Dr. Suess's How the Grinch Stole Christmas TV special and the hit holiday movie of 2000, The Grinch. 

It was the longest and hardest I had ever worked on a paper, and it showed. I know I got an A on it, but I can't remember the percentage. This brings me to tonight, or should I say early morning.

As you hopefully know, I have been working at Chipotle for about a month now. It has its ups and downs like any job, but overall I enjoy working there. EXCEPT when I have to close. Well, closing isn't that bad. I wouldn't mind it really if I was scheduled to close. I was supposed to work from 4:45 - 8:30 tonight, but the closer got sick. My manager Ryan asked if I could close, and I stated I had homework, but if he absolutely needed someone I would. About an hour later he informed my I needed to close.

Thus far have proved useless in combating caffeine. 

This would've been okay with me, if I hadn't saved all my homework for the next day to do after I got off work. Fast forward to 12:30-something. I had just made it back from work. I wasn't exhausted, but I didn't have the energy to do my homework. So I had the brilliant idea of making tea. Fast forward again, to 3:19. My homework is done, but now I can't sleep. The tea has me so energized I can't fall asleep. I have quite the delimma. I took a sleeping aid vitamin known as melatonin. It normally helps me go to sleep, but I have never taken it to counteract tea, and so far it doesn't seem to be working.

Alas, instead of laying in bed pretending that I will magically fall asleep I decided my time could be better occupied. So I'm doing things that need to get done. Unfortunately my room is already clean, and my laundry has been done (aside from the last two days). This leaves very few things for me to actually do to be productive.

I could go grocery shopping.

But that is dangerous, even though Wal-Mart and Hy-vee are still open I don't want to risk walking in the parking lot alone at 3:30 in the morning.

I could get ahead of my reading.

Which I probably will do after this if I can't fall asleep.

I could watch TV or movie.

But I ruled that out, because that really won't help me accomplish anything.

Or I could blog.

I obviously found this to be the most productive solution for the time being.

No more naps for this bear.

Besides, with my busy schedule how else would you know that I have given up snacking and naps for Lent. (Only 36 days left to go might I add!) I also successfully cooked eggplant! Along with that, I am only $1626.72 away from achieving the amount of money I need to make to be considered an in-state resident at Mizzou. Not too shabby considering I rarely ever broke $100 on any of my Delia's paychecks that I can remember (not counting holiday).

I guess my day could be much worse. After all the weather was beautiful, and I ended up getting such a good night's sleep last night that I slept through my alarm. I only missed one class, and the teacher said I could make up all the work in his offices hours. Sorry, mom. Won't happen again. And the great news? IT"S FRIDAY!

Three cheers for the weekend!

I'm twenty!

I still don't know how I feel about that fact. I've entered the third decade of my life. I officially feel old.

I remember when I was young and I never thought I would make it high school, and now I'm almost half way finished with college.

And 20 years old.

I think I'm going to start denying my real age now. It's normal to lie about your age once you hit thirty, but no one believes you then so maybe its better to start the lie early. One thing I will say about my second 19th birthday is that it was fabulous.

I spent it with all my singles ladies (Katie, Margaret, and Annmarie) at Saint Louis University (SLU). But this wasn't any ordinary weekend visit. It was Mardi Gras. This made the time so much better. Most people hate having their birthdays overshadowed by big events. I on the other hand welcome large celebrations. Everyone is happy, and there is not mention of me adding another adding another year to my life.

It was a great time. We galavanted around town stealing beads from unsuspecting victims. The girls and I were even lucky enough to snag us some cute sEXy hats from Sigma Chi. The weekend was some what of a blur. There was a huge parade and countless hours of dancing at Lacledes.

Sorry for such a bad post. It's been a while, and I had to update.

Love, bear

P.S. For the record my friends and I are classy ladies, and never had to flash anyone for our beads. We simply said we wanted them, and got them ;)

P.P.S. All my single ladies... Put your hands up!
