Tuesdays.

When ever I argue with my husband, and he says he loves me… I add that he only loves me on Tuesdays. Why tuesdays? Who knows! But… today is Tuesday. Sadly there isn’t much lovin’ as he is working and getting ready to fly to DC tomorrow, while I am trying to finish the last page of this stupid paper. I only have one more page to go… but I am really kind of unmotivated. Maybe a nap would do me some good?

Tell me, how do you get motivated to do things you… really don’t like? huh? I’m all ears!

Saturday!!!

I think Saturday it probably my favorite day of the week. I try not to do, or plan anything on this day, because I really just want a chance to not feel like I am constantly going.
Sadly, there has been a lot of stress in our home this weekend, since we’ve been talking about future plans, and SOME people in this family like to have plans… and SOME like to just “go with the flow.” Trying to meet in the middle, on things like grad school, future jobs, and where we want to live is not the easiest task.

So, needless to say, last week was stressful with our recent conversations and the inevitable stress of midterms. I am still trying to get all of those stress hormones out of my body. Apparently, anxiety does not suit me well. I was working on homework last week, when B-man kindly snapped this picture of me…

As I said, not the most flattering look! Thankfully, it is Spring break right now, so I am trying to lower my stress levels. This week I will be doing a bit of volunteering at the local Deaf School, some sewing, and maybe I’ll even get around to playing Sims 3 a little bit this week.
I think I mentioned this previously. But on Friday I was volunteering at TSD, and I was trying to figure out when I needed to leave. On occassion I do wear a watch, but on that day I was wearing a bracelet! I must’ve looked down at it to try and “tell the time” like 3 times. Yeah, the teacher I was helping definitely got a kick out of it. Oh well. I thought I would share a picture of it though:
My Nanny gave it to me on a family trip down to visit them. I think it is SO pretty.
What else is new at the home of the Reed’s? Well, Zuko has decided that he really like Gretel’s bed. Thusly, when Zuko sprawls out like a patch of kudzu all over her bed, Gretel has taken to doing this:
Yeah… not my favorite place for her to be. BUT, since Zuko has already managed to tear the couch apart, and her bed is taken… I guess it will be fine for now. She’s my baaaaaby, I don’t want to so “no” to her! lol.

I'd much rather be blogging!

And it true, I would prefer to be typing in this window, than in my boring word document about women and whether or not they were equal to men in ancient Athens. Ya know what?! They’re all dead. It doesn’t matter. Oh… did I say that?

But seriously. I think a lot of people will say they were not equal, so I’m trying to argue that in a sense, no one is ever really “equal” to any one else, even in the relationship the epitomizes “equalness” – marriage. That is, if equal means “same.” So, I am saying that people can be equal, with out being the same as every one else. Just like my husband and I do different chores, but we are equal contributers. Ya know. Blah. grrrr…. so I know I am going to go write more. BUT…. come Wednesday I will have picture updates of my fabulous
BIRTHDAY (which is today! Right now!)
presents that I got. I was pretty depressed about this paper… so my hubby gave me my present early, and I got presents from my mom, and some others, so yippeee!!!

small rant about things that aren't important.


The small rant has been deleted. I feel better now.

BRAN-MAN AND I WENT TO THE GYM THIS EVENING!

and it was… not as exciting and refreshing as I had hoped. I had spoke with my friend on the phone last night and she was talking about how going to the gym gets her motivated and going and full of energy and when I was done with my work out… I felt like crap. I just wanted to go to sleep. Then Bran-man and I came home and took a shower… yeah… read into that what you will… and now I’m feeling more awake. Still tired, not energized or “pepped up” like I was hoping for. But I guess it will do. I think I need to go to the Dr. though. Every time I would get working really hard my heart beat would go out the roof. I’m talking like, 190+. I have a high heart rate to begin with, always have, but my blood pressure is good. Regardless, it was a little troubling. But Bran-man and I did the math and decided that for this semester it is actually cheaper to pay for each of our gym visits (I have a membership as a student already, and he can go as my $5 guest) than (sorry if that should be a “then”…) to buy him a membership right now. It’s like $76 a semester.

I finished 1 piece of my homework. It’s 10 pm. I am going to finishing one more piece this evening, and then I am going to bed. Maybe the homework will energize me?

PS… my lawn in gone. It’s all mud now. :( I may have a picture tomorrow… if I’m not buried under my homework.

Good Morning Universe.

So, I was up pretty late last night. I know, bad Jessica. I couldn’t help it. I was… I don’t even remember what I was doing, but it was definitely important. Regardless. I was determined to sleep until I felt rested, get up, and do homework.
Sadly, my “well-rested” plan did not work out, and the “Are you my mommy?” Machine was in my backyard.
Our neighbor/landlord has been having some pipe issues. So they have been digging around and trying to figure things out. He had said a man with a tractor was going to come dig up the pipe to be replaced. I didn’t realize he would be so loud, so early, on a Sunday. Boo to that!
Oh well. I got up, couldn’t sleep through the racket, and made eggs and toast. Then I settled in to do homework. I decided to do homework in the order in which it is due, and not in order of “biggest impact on grade.” Why? Because when I was thinking about how much these crap will hurt/help my grade… I was having panic attacks. It’s a long known problem of mine. Some stressors I have no problem with rationally handling them. But other things, like homework, just set me off my rocker and I am out of sync for the next week. Blah.
Regardless of stress, this is the pile of books I am going to use. And this is my list of homework (Italicized means I have finished it!):
Monday
  1. Research for my debate class. Did Joan of Arc really commit heresy? One down…five more to go! Bring it on Finals Week!
  2. Reading Journal for Language Development
Tuesday
  1. Research paper for Western Civilization. “Where woman considered equal to men in ancient Athens?” This isn’t really a hard subject, I’m just not very good at getting organized.
  2. Bowling Final. I’m not stressed about this one.
  3. World Religions Test: Only 200 terms to know and be familiar with. Yippee!
  4. Universally Designed Lesson Plan.
Thursday
  1. Western Civilization Midterm. 60 questions, 90 minutes.

Home work.

I have a few picture blogs I want to work on… but instead I will be working on a paper about the equality (or lack there of) for woman in ancient Athens. Why? Because some one some where thinks it will benefit me. Bah!

Wish me luck as I dredge my way through this.

Go to bed! That's what I would do…

Ummm… hello… it is two in the morning (I’m writing a paper) and my suite mate has just decided it’s a good time to get in the shower…. what is wrong with this picture? I hate it when she does this, because it means I have to listen to her sing for the next 30 minutes. GAH!

Ummm… in other news…. I hate my english class and all of the obsessive BORING, useless work we’ve done this semester. That is all.

where did my life go?

Life is freaking crazy. Today’s agenda:

-Write English paper rough draft due monday…4-5 pages
-Write ASL review of activities: 6 page minimum
-Do math homework…for 5 sections in the book… that’s like a million and TWO problems.

plus I could probably do some reading for my psychology class, watch my 30 minute video for ASL, and catch up on the reading for my philosophy class… but that would all be horribly ambitious. Oh well.
