Accomplished!! =)

Today was lonngggggggggggggg to say the least but its just about over =)  I couldn't be happier!  In my World Religion class today, we watched a bunch of little video clips that further explained some of the religions we have already talked about.  Sooooo I decided to the use the time to study for the class in general and got A LOT done.  Yessssssssssss!
In order to register in the spring, you can't have any holds on your account.  I had one because the school didn't have record of my immunizations and so I was able to get that taken care of today.  Then, when I got home, I got almost all my weekend homework done.  I only have to finish a bit of a group project and do a little assignment for my English class.  The great thing is that both assignments are due on Tuesday!  Maybe I'll get a little breathing time this weekend =)
Work was super slow tonight and I had to find stuff to do in order to stay busy.  Otherwise, time just drags.  However, I'm off work now and heading to the gym for a quick little workout.  Hope you all had a good day!!

Almost the Weekend!

Yesterday was a really nice but busy day!  I went to the gym in the morning and was able to get a good cardio workout in.  When I workout, I take my textbooks or workbooks to the gym and, while I'm on the elliptical, I try to get through as much studying as I can.  I figure I might as well do something besides blankly stare off into space and wish the countdown clock on the elliptical would go faster.  So, I got through about 3 chapters of World Religion studying yesterday.  I'm not sure how much it helped since that class can be a tad confusing.  Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Hinduism are all so similar and the names they use for things all sound the same to me.  At least I have a month before the final.  Hopefully I'll get it all down by then =)

After the gym I headed to class.  I only have class on Wednesdays from 9-9:50 and then from 10-10:50.  Needless to say, Wednesdays are one of my favorite days of my week!  Following class, I worked with my partners for my group speech.  We went in the library and found a study room that was open which was pretty sweet.  We had a big table all to ourselves and, what we thought, was a sound-proof room.  Unfortunately, we didn't find out it wasn't sound-proof until after we'd been in there for about an hour, talking loudly over one another mostly about things that were completely unrelated to our project.  Keep in mind that this whole time, people had been walking past the room and giving us weird looks.  Well, we figured out what those looks were for!

In the afternoon I was able to make it to Mira Mesa's last volleyball game.  It was the senior game and they won!  It was awesome to see the girls and see them play well!!  I had to run the scoreboard for the varsity game and, when there is a timeout, we are supposed to watch the clock and not let it run out completely.  If it runs out completely, the horn goes off and scares everyone.  Well, I had never run the clock before and I accidentally let it run out not once, not twice, but three times.  Sweet, Brianna!  Great job!  =P

On Wednesday nights I play volleyball in an adult sport league called Vavi.  Its a lot of fun and I get to play with a lot of my friends.  Our game was at 8 last night and we won!  I love playing on a team where there is no coach to take you out or put you in.  You just get to play the whole time no matter how bad or good you're playing.  Bye-bye high school volleyball playing time politics!!!!

Its a grayish morning this morning and all I feel like doing is crawling back into bed and sleeping but, unfortunately, I have a full day of class and work.  Hope you all have a great day!!! =)

Why a blog?

So, after thinking about it for awhile, I decided to start a blog.  This is largely because of how busy I am and the very little amount of free time that I have to connect with friends and family and catch up with them.  I figure this is the easiest way to let you all know what's going on in my life in case you are interested! =)

Here goes...

Today was a pretty good one.  I went to class and then headed to work.  I work at the chiropractor's office on Tuesdays and I absolutely love it!  Tonight I learned how to develop xrays which made me feel pretty legit.  Its easy and took two seconds to learn but, for some reason, it made me feel really accomplished.  How the knowledge of developing xrays will help me in daily life remains to be seen.  
Following work, I went to dollar scoop at Baskin&Robbins and then headed home and hung out with the family for a bit.  Not much studying to do tonight which is SO nice!  I mean, I'm sure there is something school-related I could be doing but there is nothing pressing.  And, even if there was something to do, why do today what you can put off till tomorrow???? =P  Terrible motto but, sadly, it is one I often live by.  I suppose I just found my New Year's Resolution: stop procrastinating.  Unfortunately, this will happen when pigs fly. 
I'm headed out the door in a bit to go running with mom.  We are making it a point to go running together twice a week.  Hopefully, we will  be good motivators for each other so we stick to it, even when its cold, foggy, and miserable outside like it is right now....Brrrr.  Alright, I'm leaving before I think myself out of going.  Ciao.
