What Gets Me Through The Day

School and research papers have been stressing me out completely lately so I have decided to do a blog about things that help get me through the day aside from phone conversations with my sweet boyfriend who listens to me complain and my wonderful mom who listens and gives advice as needed. So here are a few things that I use frequently throughout my days and weeks! Enjoy.

My Planner. This little thing keeps me going. I write down everything. Events, Assignments, Things to Do, EVERYTHING. I am a total organization junkie and I love to have things planned out. It makes me feel relaxed and keeps alot of stress from accumulating.

Nike Shorts! These are my absolute BEST FRIEND! They are so comfortable and easy to throw on in the mornings for class. I also wear them to baseball games, out to grocery shop, well actually it would be easier to name the places I didn't wear them because I LOVE them! haha!

Bare Escentuals makeup is so very quick and easy and allows me to feel like I have on enough makeup to look presentable in public yet its so light and doesnt rub off on my t-shirts when im lounging on the couch! I love this stuff!

My Droid X is always in reach. It allows me to talk/text/internet all in the palm of my hand. I can check my facebook, my bank account, my Troy email, everything. It's very useful and I love it! The only downside is that it is a little large so I can't put it in my pocket or anything.

Special K Protein Shakes in Milk Chocolate. I drink one of these for breakfast every morning because I rarely have time to sit down to eat a meal for breakfast. This is super quick and easy to drink on the go. It keeps me full until lunch time. I LOOOVE these!

This devotional was given to me when I graduated high school but I put it on a shelf in my room and didn't read it until about 5 months ago. Ever since then I try my best to read it everyday. It's very uplifting and helps me remember that I am not on this journey alone.

These are just a few things that help me get through the day. On another note, I will be taking the GRE July 8 so that I can apply for OT school. Pray for me! =]

My Favorite Things

Lately I have been going to work with Cody's sister Heather because she is an occupational therapist and I aspire to be just like her one day in the near future! I am trying to get everything in order to apply for OT school in August so I have been going to work with her to get some observation hours! Hillary's sister Hayley has been going too because she now thinks she wants to be an OT! Yay! This makes me super excited because I now have a friend with similiar interests in school subject matter so maybe she will be my study buddy one day!

After a few days of OT observation, I spent my weekend at my brothers baseball games in Dothan. Man ohhhh man was it hot out there! I love to watch him play baseball and I realllly think he is allll kinds of awesome but good lord it was hottt! And I know I drive everyone around me crazy because I complain the entire time about how hot/sweaty/sticky I am, I also throw in that omgeez these knats are driving me insaneeee!!! But on a brighter note, the weekend is over and now its time for more school. Great.

Basically right now my life consists of school, baseball, school, baseball, occasional pool time, then more hot/sticky/sweaty oh so not interesting unless my brother is playing baseball!

So since nothing new has been going on and I dont have any totally cool stories about the wonderful vacations I havent been taking to tell you all about I have decided to make the majortiy of this post a list of things I love right now!

Getting Back In The Swing Of Things

I created this blog over a year ago and oddly enough got so caught up in reading other people's blogs that I just stopped blogging about my own interesting/boring/daily/frustrating/fabulous life! So here's a little recap of the past year, then maybe, just maybe if I can keep up... I will blog about random events and things such as that from here on out! So, everything in my life is back to normal, Hill is completely better and lives with me in Troy again. Except for right now because its the Summer and she went home to take classes at LBW. I stayed at Troy to take classes and go home as often as I can because its super boring living by yourself! Last summer I taught swimming lessons with Jennifer (Cody's older sister) and made a little money, I also took a few classes at LBW. Then the Fall came and everything got really hectic and kinda made me crazy. School was pretty tough, I went back and forth from Opp to Troy to Montgomery to try to see all the people that I love so dearly. I spent most of my time trying to stretch myself from location to location to make sure I could watch my brother play football and watch Cody play baseball at AUM, then spend a little time with my family and friends. It was not easy, let me tell ya! Then of course came birthdays, holidays, you know yada yada yada. Then 2011 was here in a hurry, the whole "time flys" saying is really starting to get to me. The spring semester was again packed with endless papers for school, driving to watch Cody and my brother play baseball games in different cities every weekend, and spending time with family and friends. I also helped Cody's sisters Heather and Jennifer teach tumbling because Heather was expecting her 3rd child. I am done with that now and I am definately going to miss the money! As I write this and think about it, I cant believe its already Summer 2011 and I actually made it through my 2nd year of college. Wow. Somehow I managed to keep my sanity through the many ups and downs of the year! Maybe this time I can find time in my oh so routine lifestlye to blog every now and again! =]
