Testing the waters

So, the new semester officially began a few weeks ago...but today, it REALLY felt like it.  It was my first test!  I had a Chem 105 test today that I felt about 95% prepared for, and though it took me forever to do (lots of math!), it went well.  I don't know what I got yet, but that's ok, I feel good about it.

The start of something new is always exciting!  This semester, I am seeing how as I've drastically changed my schedule, I actually have MORE time and am MORE on top of things, and I don't get stressed out, because I know the time and time restrictions I have.  Getting up at 3 and working at 4 means I need to be consistent in getting to bed on time every day.  As I've done that, I've wasted less time and been able to accomplish more during each day.  Even though I don't sleep as much as I probably SHOULD, I've been feeling more energetic and alert!  Except, maybe, for my classes in the early afternoon (it's that time of day...).  My body is getting used to my new schedule, I'm getting used to it, and I still get everything in: sleep, work, studying, classes, scriptures, journal, and the best part, I still get to talk to Renato nearly daily!  I guess it's a lesson in self-discipline...like the mission was, only this is on a much different schedule!

So with this new beginning, testing out a new-ish lifestyle, I have set new goals and have gotten really good at prioritizing! :)  So, on that note...off to study mineralogy!

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....
