Oh My Goodness, It's Already Thursday!

Well made it through another day. Can't believe tomorrow's already Friday. This week just flew by!

Since my life is not that interesting, here are today's good things.
1. It was really nice out today. :)
-I love sunny weather, it can help to cheer me up and set the tone for my day. As it was so nice I walked to the store and back rather than take my car so it helped me be green too. ;)

2. Classes went pretty well today.
-Always a plus.

3. Had a good workout.
-I was so tired the last few days my workouts have been kind of sluggish but my walk to the store warmed me up and I had a good workout. :)

Tomorrow is my double lab day. Let's hope it goes as well as today.

Blessings,
Veronica

A Tired Wednesday

Anyone else ever get exhausted and know you have no good reason for it? That's me right now. I mean I could blame school and that's probably it but I don't understand why I'm so tired lately. I don't have mono and I feel like I get a good amount of sleep plus I work out everyday.

My tiredness kind of pissed me off today. I didn't have class today because my one prof is teaching through online presentations at the moment and because of that my other prof moved our hour long class to between classes tomorrow. I wanted to get up at 8:30 but didn't get up till 9:30 and didn't really start my day till almost noon. I know I should be happy that I am 23 but have no responsibilities besides school and can, not do anything till almost noon and still be okay but I would like to be able to be more productive. If I don't have any commitments I can't get motivated, it's a problem.

Well I'll stop bitching about that since it's my problem, not yours. So here are today's good things.

1. Got my laundry done.
-I hadn't did laundry in two weeks and was almost out of clothing so now I have lots of clean laundry. :)

2. I went to Zumba again.
-I'm getting a little more coordinated at some of the songs and I think it made me work harder than I would have if I'd gone to the gym. It was fun.

3. Actually watched the online class videos and did the post that is due Friday so I did do something productive related to school today. :)

I apologize for a post that read's kind of like Debbie Downer wrote it. It wasn't a bad day. It was a day.

Here's Hoping Tomorrow is a Better Day!

Thank you for reading :)

Tuesday's Good Things and a Prayer Request

Well today went pretty well for the most part. I had fieldwork today and my classmate and I led a group that went pretty well. I also only had to play Wii bowling for a little while today, thank goodness! 

I want to ask you all to please keep the family and friends of a Houghton College student, Gregory, in your thoughts and prayers as it is believed that he took his own life by entering the Niagara River this past weekend. I didn't know Gregory but as a former Houghton student and someone who can identify some with what his loved ones are going through I'm sure any prayers would be helpful and appreciated. 

Here are today's good things:

1. As mentioned, our group activity went well. 

2. As I also mentioned, I only had to play Wii bowling a little while today! 

-So happy about that. :P

3. My best friend sent me a link to this video. 

-Definitely put a smile on my face. 

Blessings,

Procrastination is the Thief of TIme

So my procrastination has finally bit me in the a**, as many of you would have guessed since I've been off the grid since last Wednesday. No one to blame but myself. 

Today was kind of a WTF day but in the grand scheme of life it really isn't. The events of last year have really mellowed me out. Life can be pretty crappy but it takes a lot to make it truly suck. I guess they weren't lying when they say that you grow from the sh*t life puts you through. 

So to keep with my lent commitment I'll give you a quick rundown of some of the good things from the last few days. 

Thursday

1. My 8am Psychosocial Evaluation and Intervention lab went well.

-Psychosocial things and I are not friends, especially at 8am so this was a plus. 

2. Got everything that was due Friday done. 

Friday

1. We began learning about modalities in Foundations of Phys Rehab Lab.

-A nice change-up from perfectionist inducing splint making. :P

2. Got to go home! 

-Enough said!

Saturday

1. Got to go to work. 

-I really like my job, even though it can be really stressful. It was really great to work with my client and see her and her family again. 

2. Got to hang out with my cats. 

-I missed those furry devils. ;)

Sunday

1. My drive back went well. 

-The roads were clear and mostly dry, it was pretty great. 

2. Got my homework for Monday done. 

Monday

1. My Dove chocolate wrapper said "Naughty can be nice."

-Totally unexpected. Definitely put a smile on my face. 

2. Watched NCIS on USA. 

-Love NCIS, that is was an episode that I'd never seen before and was really good was a plus. :P 

3. As crappy as this day was, it's over! 

-I got through a facilitated discussion and a test. Bombed the test but like I said no one to blame but myself. It's only one test. There's always next time! :) 

So let's see if I can be a little more productive this week and prevent this from happening again. :)

A Really Good Day, They Do Exist!

Today was a really good day. I haven't had too many of those lately so it's pretty incredible that I did. :)

Since my day was so great I won't even bother to number my good things. I'll just give you a recap of my day.

It started off with waking up feeling pretty rested. I also got a text this morning from a friend telling me that she really likes my blog and it makes her day a little better to read about the good things that have happened in my day. If that's not a pick-me-up I don't know what is. :P

I had a test this morning that I'm relatively confident I passed. It was nice that the test was first thing this morning because it got it out of the way. :)

After the test we had a make up lab for the lab that Nemo cancelled on us. We finished strapping and grading our splints which means the splinting part of Intro to Physical Rehab is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Splinting is interesting but a pain. I'm excited to move onto something new. :) I also received another compliment on my blog while strapping my splint which also brightened my day.

We then had our Psychosocial Fieldwork Supervision seminar where my class and I got to have a good laugh. Apparently my "love," otherwise known as loathing, of Wii bowling shows on my face. When giving a recap of yesterdays fieldwork I happened to mention that we played Wii bowling. I guess my facial expression changed because my professor asked me to elaborate. I had nothing against the game but the clients love it and in the 3 days I've been at fieldwork I have played about 8 hours of Wii bowling total. I now HATE Wii bowling. The mention of playing it makes me cringe :P (Note to self: Try to be less expressive when talking :P)

That was my last class of the day so I did homework until I went Zumba at 4 with some of my classmates. I'm really glad one of my classmates invited me because it is kind of fun and a nice change up from straight cardio. :)

This evening I was really productive and got one of the million things due next week done. So ends my day.

Now that I sound like one of those annoying "my life is just awesome" people I will bid you good night.

Just remember, really good days do exist. :)

Blessings,
Veronica

Even Dreary Awful Tuesdays Have Good Things

Not going to lie. Today was a pretty crappy day. It was long and tiring. Fieldwork had its highs and lows today. Had a homicidal headache for a few hours (a headache that makes you want to hurt people) then turned into a dull ache. Studied for an exam. The works.

I hit an ultimate low when The Pussycat Dolls song 'Don't Cha' made me cry. That song used to be fun, now it just reminds me of things I'd rather forget.

Still, I can't say my day was all bad. Here are the good things.

1. I'm not at my fieldwork site by myself.
-It's nice to have someone else you know there. It's also nice when you need to vent and to know you're not the only person feeling that way. It's awesome when you really like the person you're with and I do. :)

2. Be able to vent steam at the gym.
-Nothing takes the edge off a homicidal headache quite like a good cardio workout.

3. I think I know enough to pass my test tomorrow.
-Could be totally wrong but going through the notes and I feel like I know enough to at least pass.

4. I'm going home Friday!
-Always a plus.

Hoping Tomorrow is Better!

Blessings,
Veronica

Sunday/Monday Update

Due to poor time management skills I'm going to cut right to Sunday and Monday's good things.

Sunday
1. Walking to the grocery store and back.
-Walking to the store gives me a weird satisfaction and sense of independence so it was nice to be able to do it. ;)

2. Seeing a hawk in the park across the street.
-On my way back to school from the store I saw a hawk eating a bird it had caught. You may say it's gross but I thought it was cool. :P

3. Living in a day and age where good dental hygiene exists.
-No really, I do enjoy clean teeth, especially after eating popcorn. :P

Monday
1. I survived my first psychosocial class exam.
-Don't know how I did, but it's over. :)

2. All my dishes are done and garbage is taken to the dumpster.
-I hate dishes and taking out the trash and usually wait till I can't handle looking at the trash or I'm out of dishes. The reason that I was so proactive with them to today was because I was avoiding studying but I don't have to look at a full garbage can or a pile of dishes so I'll take it. ;)

3. I'm going home Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-I have a billion things to do between now and then but I'm going home Friday!!! I'm so excited! :)

Blessings,
Veronica :)
