it is going to be a long 40 days...

So for lent this year, I decided to give up coffee. I am not 100% sure I can do it yet, but I do believe that it is going to be a major challenge. I am even trying to branch out and give up caffeine, so i will let you know how that goes. I know that i am addicted, which is horrible at my age! I hope that I can start to drink more water and milk, rather than drinking coffee and soda. Hopefully this will also help my sleeping abilities, because I haven't been able to sleep that well lately. So today is Ash Wednesday so I have 40 more days of ZERO COFFEE! Now on my starbucks dates with k i will have to resort to tea or begin to try their other options! Suggestions?

Slight break from paper writing...

Attractive picture, I know. This picture sums up my life right now, since I am currently working on a 6-page paper due for my EXSS class tomorrow morning. It is almost 2:00am and I am not even halfway done. So it while it already looks like I am staying up late tonight, I am sure that the paper can be finished in the next hour. I have already set my bedtime to 3:00am, regardless of the status of my paper and I figure that I can just wake up in the morning and finish it if i need to. After the superbowl tonight I just didn't have the motivation to write a paper. It also didn't help that I had a huge research assignment that I had to re-do yesterday and doing homework on a saturday night just didn't motivate me to do homework tonight. I know that the topic for this paper isn't hard (my sport experience relating to mind gym, the book we had to read) but I just can't really remember all my experiences that well. none really seem to stick out in my mind right now. It could be that my brain is fried from all the work this past week, or that I just don't have any outstanding sport memories. Apparently girl's brains just don't hold as many sport-related memories.

moving on, i have decided that this week is the week that i will get my life together. i haven't really fully moved in yet (yes, it has been a month) and i am determined to clean my room, re-arrange my furniture, and organize my desk area. i just can't deal with this clutter in my life. i also need to start looking for jobs and asking for recommendations from my bosses. i am kinda starting to freak out about what my situation will be next year. graduation is looming up ahead and i am attempting to run as fast as i can in the other direction. while i want to focus on my classes this semester, and believe me my professors also want my attention, i also want to embrace my last semester here at carolina NOT stuck in the library every weekend.

so for now, back to my paper and hopefully sleep will occur in the next few hours.

night blog world.
