The Week Ahead

Outside my window... It's sunny right now and it is beautiful.

I am thinking... About all the things I have to do this week since it is almost the end of the quarter.

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

From the kitchen... I ate some orange juice, but I'm going to make myself a souffle.

I am hearing... My computer keys clicking as I type and the TV.

I am watching... Nothing, but my roommate is watching Bob's Burgers.

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

I am reading... All my textbooks.

I am making... Cod for the next two dinners on Wednesday and Thursday.

I am writing... This blog post.

All the plans I have for this week... I work on Monday-Friday in the afternoon and MWF in the mornings. But that's going to change after finals week which is in about two weeks. I have one class on MWF and another class on TR. I'm reading so much right now in prep for my finals. Saturday, I go to the barn to ride. Thursday afternoons before class, I spend making food for the day or next two days.

MudLynn Update... MudLynn is doing very well. She is snoozing on the floor next to me.

College Update... I am going to apply to the Elementary Education Professional Program next year. I have the WEST-B test on the 31st.

Riding Update...  I haven't been able to ride a whole lot because of classes and the work load. Also, I'm just really exhausted after the week of work and school that all I want to do is lay in bed.

What's In My Backpack: College Edition

College is pretty stressful and not having the main essentials in your backpack can be devastating. I love seeing other bloggers share what they have in their backpacks, so I decided to do the same thing! I hope that you become inspired to put these essentials in your backpack!

I always pack a lot in my bag just in case I'm going to be on campus for a long time. I always have my water bottle in my bag, because hydration in key! I then have gum and breath strips as well as granola bar cause ya know, classroom tummy rumbles.

I also have hand creams and chapstick for those dry and windy days. On top of that, I have my notebook for a class, sketch book for bullet lists, and my Erin Condren planner. Electronics wise - I have my mac, headphones, and my phone (and my charger, which is not pictured).

And most importantly, my wallet with my student ID and my keys!

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 almost the end of Spring Quarter.

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

From the kitchen... I ate some yogurt this morning, some strawberries and chips, and now I am heating up some leftover pizza.

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... nothing.

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 afternoons. MWF I work AM shifts. MWF I have my Psych 101 class, TR I have my English class. Monday, I have a poetry reading that I am attending for my English class for the log book. On Tuesdays, I go and volunteer in Mrs. L's classroom. I am also having coffee with Melissa at Woods while we chat and do homework. I then I have a group meeting for my English assignment  Wednesday afternoon. I also have a work meeting Wednesday night. Thursday, my english group has our group facilitation in class, so we are all gonna spruce ourselves up a bit. Thursday and Friday are pretty normal.

MudLynn Update... MudLynn is doing very well. She is snoozing on the floor at my feet, on top of my computer cord.

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. It's so hard to find time for everything.

DIY Queen and the Weekly Reads

Lately, I've been a bit more selfish about things that I like to do. For example, reading and DIY. DIY is things are so fun to do. I h...
