The Week Ahead

Outside my window... It's sunny right now and I hope it stays like this from now on.

I am thinking... About all the things I have to do this week since it is officially Spring Quarter.

I am thankful for... Everything and everyone around me.

From the kitchen... I ate some cereal and some oranges this morning.

I am hearing... My computer keys clicking as I type and MudLynn's snoring.

I am watching... Nothing.

Always one of my favorite things... To watch scary movies with friends and eat delicious food.

I am reading... The Age of Adaline.

I am making... Nothing really.

I am writing... This blog post.

All the plans I have for this week... I work on Monday-Friday in the mornings and afternoons. MWF I have my Psych 101 class, TR I have my English class. I am meeting a lady after class and selling her some horse items. I then I have a group meeting for my English assignment Tuesday morning. Friday, Kaveh and I are leaving work a little early so that we can hit the road to Mt Hood with Josh and Isabel.

MudLynn Update... MudLynn is doing very well. She is snoozing on her bed, Courtney will be watching her this weekend.

College Update... I am going to apply to the Elementary Education Professional Program next year. I will still graduate but I will go back to school to get the program so that I can become a teacher! I have already started filling out the program application.

Riding Update...  Since it is Spring Quarter, we don't have any shows. However, I believe we are going to be doing some clinics and volunteering opportunities. I missed a couple lessons already due to weekend plans, but I am going to go ride on Thursday in the morning.

TGIF!

Ugh, I am so glad it is finally Friday. This week has just been so chaotic for no reason.

I finished my Psychology exam like an hour ago and came home to find my bed had been delivered, thanks to my boyfriend being here for them to deliver it. I couldn't wait another week for it.

I am now watching some lovely Harry Potter because just recently I have been starting to read the book series. I am hooked, I am almost finished with the first one and I just recently bought the second one from Village Books down in Fairhaven.

I went to dinner Friday with Kaveh because we celebrated our one year anniversary and spent the majority of the weekend together, grilling with everyone. It was a wonderful weekend because it was also sunny and beautiful out! 

Still Cleaning Out

I never realized how much stuff I owned until I cleaned out. I think I've cleaned out like 10 times. I have reached a goal point right now since I have cleared off one entire shelf in my water heater closet, so yay me!

I'm now going through a lot of my horse stuff because I have multiples of certain things that I really don't need multiples of. For instance, I don't need 7 white dressage pads- I don't ride dressage, so why not sell them for someone else to use. Also, I don't need 11 crops. I went through a phase when I was younger when I kept saying I was going to be a trainer and needed to collect things for my barn. Haha, that isn't happening anymore.


But the other upside to cleaning and decluttering is the fact that I can sell these items. I think I made $45 yesterday selling my winter riding boots and a saddle pad, so that is going in the savings envelope in my wallet! Tomorrow, I have another selling to someone who wants some of my horse stuff, so more money to go into savings! Just got to sell the rest of the items I have then I am happy!

It's An Exciting Week!

I am officially getting a new bed! Woohoo! I've been having such hard times sleeping at night that I decided to invest in a bed that was one bed and not two twins, but also of a different density. The new bed I am getting next week is a queen and it is a plush bed, so I am super excited for it to come!

Also, I had an Ikea gift card that I was saving for a new bed from Ikea, but now I used it to buy new bedding. So I bought a new comforter and a duvet cover and pillow cases. Time for something neutral that will be relaxing and not dizzying like my old comforter. Plus it will make cleaning so much easier because I can just strip of the duvet cover.

Also, one of best friends is coming to visit me this week so I am working hard to get all my homework and readings done before she arrives tomorrow. I don't want to have to worry about homework while she is here. It will be even more fun since she is now 21 and we can go get a drink together. So we will be going to one of the bars this week to play pool and have a drink and just really catch up on life. 

The Week Ahead

Outside my window... It's a little cloudy, but mainly blue skies! That means sandal weather!

I am thinking... The West-B and Math Placement Tests that I have to take either this month or next month so that they are two things I don't have to worry about come October when I apply for the education program. Oh, I need to go get stronger allergy pills and my nose spray today.

I am thankful for... Everything and everyone around me.

From the kitchen... I ate some toast and a cookie today.

I am hearing... My computer keys clicking as I type and students talking.

I am watching... Nothing.

Always one of my favorite things... To watch scary movies with friends and eat delicious food.

I am reading... Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I am making... Nothing really.

A plans I have for this week... I don't have work Monday-Friday. MWF I have my Psych 101 class, TR I have my English class. Shana is coming Wednesday night for a visit!! We'll probably go out for dinner and maybe play some pool. I have practice on Saturday morning and I'm going to try and ride Cyd again to get my confidence and mojo back.

MudLynn Update... MudLynn is doing very well. She is snoozing on her bed.

College Update... I am going to apply to the Elementary Education Professional Program next year. I will still graduate but I will go back to school to get the program so that I can become a teacher! I have already started filling out the program application.

Riding Update...  Cyd made me lose my mojo/confidence because he kept finding things to spook at; also I hate the indoor area cause you can hear the cars outside on the busy road.

Sunday's Mean...

Homework, masking, pampering MudLynn, cleaning, eating, washing and so many other things I feel I need to do.

I just bathed MudLynn and cleaned her ears as well, so she smells so good right now. She is currently chewing her rawhide in bliss knowing she isn't in the water anymore. She pretty much had a pamper session today. She also got brushed! We are working on doing that every day to reduce the amount of hair that she sheds.

I on the other hand just did a clay mask cause I felt like pampering my skin. I'm trying everything I know to help keep my skin clear and ageless. I am drinking multiple bottles of water to stay hydrated especially since the weather is getting nicer and water is becoming more important. I also cleaned everything in the kitchen (even the floor). I also washed my sheets for the month of April, which is a score for me.

I'm trying to stick to a monthly schedule of things I should do at the beginning of the month and it is off to a good start.

Things To Do This Spring

Oh man, I have a lot to do before October. Well, not really a lot, but it seems like a lot to do for me.

I have to obviously make good grades to raise my GPA up to the GPA minimum for the education program. So I really need to make more so A's than B's, but B's would be okay. I'm really aiming for A's. My GPA isn't really where I want it to be, but I am making it my goal to raise it this quarter and over fall quarter.

I need to sign up for the math placement test and for the West-B test. I need to pass the placement test so that I don't have to take Math 112.

I just know that from here on out, I must do stellar in my classes.
