Recently I’ve been thinking about what I’ve been doing with myself these past few years and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to stop caring about others and put myself first. 

My dedication and love for my sisters for the past three years has been unfaltering. I would never trade in anything else for all of the laugh, joy, and tears that I’ve experienced. But what I’ve come to realize is I always put myself last and never put myself first. It’s sad to say that I’m still stuck at a CC as a third year and am finally transferring this fall, when I should have accomplished that last year. While it is better late than never, I can’t forgive myself for not focusing more on what is my main priority, getting done with school and moving onto my career.

Needless to say, it is time to sort out my priorities and come to the realization of what I need more. It’s time to put myself first.

I tend to do this too often… Post blogs every few MONTHS. LOL. 

A lot has happened in the 3 months since I’ve last posted. The usual occupants in my life (work, school, ADK, and the boyfriend) has kept me ridiculously busy. 

Work: I moved up in my company since the summer, so I’ve been working almost full time ever since Fall semester started. Although I’m happy that I have a constant schedule and money flowing in, I wish I had more time to kick back and relax at home. But when you have tons of bills to pay and expenditures to attend to, there’s no such thing as a break from working. 

School: Fall semester has been kicking my ass. I was taking 4 classes this semester (managerial accounting, business calculus, macroeconomics, and U.S. history) only to drop 1 class (business calculus). I’m pretty disappointed in myself because I can do better and can’t afford to fail, but what can I say? Things are unexpected. I can’t wait until the semester is over.

ADK: Being Vice President is no joke. I picked up this year and she is still going strong (hold it down little sis!). I have been planning our first formal event of the year and these past two weeks have been hectic. I’m excited that it’s finally happening this Saturday, but I’m also nervous at the outcome of the event. Hopefully it all goes well!

Boyfriend: We are still going strong! Haha. Although we occasionally hit some rough patches, we always find a way to keep it going. I love that although we don’t see each other as often, we can still make it work. 

I will try my best to go back to posting, but let’s see if my busy schedule will allow me to do so! 

This bugs me so much that I have to blog about it before I head to work. 

First of all, I like to sleep with my window slightly open during the summer. Being that it is a pretty humid night, I left it moderately open. Although I think the window screen would keep the creepy crawlies out, I’m starting to think otherwise after what happened. Let me explain.

Around 4 AM this morning when I was still in the midst of dreaming, a brown widow had the balls to crawl across my face. My instinctive reflexes kicked in (while I was still sleeping) and slapped the thing dead on the side of my cheek. It took me about another minute to wake up, another minute to realize what happened, and several seconds to run to the bathroom to rid of the carcass that was in my hand and on my face. I don’t think I’ve ever killed a spider with my bare hands and it disgusts me to no end when I already kill these things with a tissue. 

After several hand washes, I returned to my room to inspect my bed for any of his buddies so I can sleep in peace, only to find a white centipede like thing under my pillow. Seriously, I think there was either a party on my bed or some kind of cat/mouse (in this case centipede/brown widow) chase going on because the thing was dead. I ended up changing all the sheets on my bed and sleeping on the opposite side of the bed. Sad to say, I had a hard time going back to sleep only to wake up several moments later because of my alarm for work.

Hopefully, no one has to encounter something similar to what I had to go through. 

It’s been quite a while since I’ve gone on Tumblr and posted something.. Becoming a trend actually, but you can’t help it when you have a crazy buzy life ): Here we go with the main occupants of my life: school, work, ADKs, and boyfriend.

School: My online advanced business law summer course is a pain. Seriously, I end up reading chapters upon chapters of torts and laws pertaining to just.. BUSINESS! Two more weeks of this ish and I am done. I can’t wait!

Work: It is currently a crazy busy third quarter at my workplace, which only means full time work! Even better that my Alpha Sigma Lambda Grand Big Bro works with me! I am excited that I get a fat paycheck every two weeks, however, it is killing my energy and ability or want to go out afterwards. It is incredibly sad how I relish my weekends when they are filled with ADK activities because it means I can sleep in. The things that are done for a pocket full of bills…

ADKs: As of now, I am slowly putting together everything for Informals. Even if it is about less than four months away, I feel like I have an itch to just get things done. Aside from that, we are preparing for our upcoming rush, so it’s pretty exciting! I can’t wait to pick up a little sis (or two). Hopefully they will cross this time around.

Boyfriend: Last, but not least, my boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary on the 14th. It was pretty nice to grab dinner and then watch the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two. The wait was ridiculous, but worth it since the movie was so GOOD! Definitely a good way to celebrate since it was my first time at a midnight movie premiere. It is pretty mind boggling how we have already surpassed a year. I know that a lot has happened and that we experienced a myriad of emotions this past year, but I hope that things will get better from here. I can only anticipate what will happen for this upcoming year. Also, thanks for the flowers mister! The peach rose bouquet was definitely beautiful - extra pats on the back since peach roses are my favorite (:

As of now, I am just waiting for my summer class to end soon and I can’t wait for the upcoming trip to Hawaii with my boyfriend’s family. We’re leaving the second week of August, so when I come back, it’ll be just in time for rush and Fall semester to start. 

After a good two weeks of doing nothing but lounging around and watching anything on Netflix, I am finally back to the work and school grind! Needless to say, I am ultimately excited because I feel utterly useless when I don’t do anything productive and worthwhile. Here we go Summer 2011!

After a great, horrendous 16 weeks of grueling, horrible classes, I am finally done with my spring semester of 2011. I’d have to say that although I passed all my classes, I wish I could’ve gotten at least an A in one of my classes rather than having a couple B’s and C’s. I guess I just gotta step it up for Fall 2011. As for now, I am going to try to enjoy summer (before summer classes start in two weeks) and work as much as I possibly can to have money for the upcoming year. Let’s hope summer 2011 will treat me well!
