March 1

February was a month of highs and lows, good times and bad. In other words? Normal. 

February Goal Update: 

• Early to Rise [Otherwise known as my 12 in 12 goal] - I have met my goal of getting up at least 30 minutes before it was time for me to leave. It helped that another goal of mine, was to cut down on my caffeine, as it allowed me to drop off to sleep faster, as well as wake up easier. 
• Continue working towards my 100 books in 2012 goal. [ 25 30 down!]
• Continue to drink more water and less soda [ so/so]

March Goals: 

David sleeps next to me at the Library

• Early To Rise Version 3.0 
• We're upping the criteria to consistently getting up an hour earlier. Now that I have a "baby" I no longer can afford to be lazy, as I have to make sure he potty's and gets a short walk before I leave for the day. The dachshunds? I could just let into the yard, they'd do their thing and we'd move on, however the Guide Dog Foundation requires their puppies to relieve on leash, on concrete. So yeah. 
• Continue whittling down my book goal. 
• have I mentioned how much I love the library? Sometimes my dog and I  just hang out among the stacks, reading books and playing on my phone. 
• Apply for (5) jobs a week 
• I was supremely lazy this month, I can admit that now. I've, maybe, applied for 4-5 jobs this month. My past experiences haven't helped, as with every job I've obtained, it was through emailing a place I wanted to work, or having someone know something, somewhere. So this whole pounding the pavement thing is foreign to me. Not to mention, I'm still scared at the idea of working full-time/ getting another part time job. Its not fun working two jobs, and I'm not really looking forward to the idea of doing it again. But i NEED the money. 
• Caffeine 1-2 times a week 
• I've actually started to lose my taste for the heavily caffeinated drinks, I once did love. MOuntain Dew? Blech. Dr. Pepper...amazingly enough, I'm starting to think it tastes gross. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
• At least (5) posts to this and other blogs. 
• :) 

February 2011

Is it over? Wow this month flew by. Emotionally an extremely tough month for me, but we got through it by God's grace. Its hard to believe I only posted five times in the past month. yow. 

February's Goals:

1. Survive Photojournalism Class. Since I'm considering dropping it (until later) I would guess that would = fail. I've pretty much made up my mind, just trying to decide if I should drop now, show up Thursday to claim my USB drive and grade, or drop after class and suffer through one.more. class. I know a really lame decision, but its a long/expensive drive! 
2. Continue shooting daily. Yes! Missed one or two days but still have a photo up daily on my photo blog. 
3. Purchase a car!!!!!!- #fail
4. Start raising my fifth guide dog puppy - One week down, 51 more to go! 
5. Drink more water, watch calorie intake: #FAIL #FAIL #FAIL #FAIL
6. Redo Hair. Have an "appointment" with my sister for Saturday. 

Other smaller goals include: Being on time for things, being prepared ahead of time, trying to get my homework done before the last minute, continuing to not procrastinate about things that scare me...... #gulps.  

• Since the arrival of puppy I've been getting out of bed between 7:00AM - 7:10AM, which is good I really need to get up around 6:30AM in order to have myself and all three dogs completely situated before I take off at 7:30AM. 
• Homework + Last Minute = Fail!
• Procrastination + Scary Things = FAIL!!! 

Soo in regards to goals this month, I would say overall grade would be a BIG FAT F! 

I guess its a good thing I'm not being graded eh?

Project Erin: Day 43: Metal Assignment Part 1

Good-Bye February

Two months in 2010 down, is it just me or is this year getting off to an extremely slow start?
I don't know.

February

What a month.

Major Happenings would be...

Finally finished moving from the old place to the new

Plowing through first "real" assignments

Learning my friends were going to move into my old place

Learning that I would be gaining a roommate.

Attempt to settle into new place

Of course there are a gazillion other things that happened, but we are going to let by gone, be bygones. And just press forward towards the goal. Whatever that might be at this time.

I have to throw this in there, as it doesn't happen to me often. (THANK GOD!)
I actually PMS'd.
I know, I know for some of you TMI, while others are going..yeah and??
Well like I said, I don't normally experience that "lovely" situation, but wow when I do its just like wow. I knew my emotions were extreme, but didn't exactly know why. From wanting to break down and cry sitting at work, to feeling depressed, taking naps in the middle of the day, extreme tiredness, it was crazy!

I was sooo annoyed about finding out my refrigerator wasn't working, it was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. 

No or maybe it was getting up at 3AM to clean Puppies crate...or..coming home from church to clean out his OTHER crate, and the wall...floor..blankets...bed.....

Now that I'm actually back to feeling normal, I realize what I miss each month. What a relief.

My poor roommate, if this starts to become a regular occurrence!

Speaking of roomies, her and her sister are very eager to get moving, and has already gotten her room together. Some of our church friends are also donating a couch, love seat, and recliner..the question I have is.. Where are we gonna put it?

{Ignore the mess..:)}
