STRESS!

So today in one of my classes we learned about stress.

Ok what college kid isn't stressed?

We did this evaluation to find out how stressed we are, and now that I have a number value for how stressed I actually am, I think I'm more stressed out about it. Hence, putting off some more homework to update this.

And on a related note about procrastinating....

I have been morally opposed to Twitter since I heard about it. It's stupid and pointless and no one is that important enough to "tweet" every single thing because no one cares. So guess what I just got? Yep, a Twitter account. I'm hooked.

Buh-bye, productivity!

Oh p.s.-You can follow me! @canderson310

Updates.

I've realized I'm really bad about following through on things.

I am a completely unreliable person. It's true. I forget things and lack motivation. It's something I'm working on.

So here are some updates about things I've written about on here and not followed through on:

Resolutions.

Remember when I posted my New Years resolutions on here so I would stay accountable and stick to them? Hahaha. I had to go back to my post to see what they were because I couldn't remember them. Fail.

Actually, I'm not doing too bad. Healthwise...well we have a crapton of chocolate, courtesy of my roommate's boyfriend (Thanks!) but other than that, I've been doing a pretty good job of eating healthy. I've rediscovered my love of pb&j and vegetables (not together). I seriously eat baby carrots like they're potato chips. Running is a different story. I think I've mentioned how my life is absolutely crazy this semester? I kind of forgot what it's like to have free time, meaning I don't have time to run. I have a feeling this whole half-marathon thing is not going to go well...

Spirituality...This one is going pretty ok also. I had to give up on yoga because I'm a poor college student and didn't want to pay $65 for it. But it's been going well otherwise.

Making up for not being in France...this is not happening. I wish I was in France.

The Housing Conundrum.

This is still a conundrum. I opted not to live with my guy friend and entered the lottery for the on-campus apartments with my roomie and a couple other girls. We got wait-listed. We're number 65. The plan is to move off-campus now so hopefully we get that all figured out soon.

It's really stressful not knowing where you're going to live next year.

Coffee.

I haven't drank coffee at all this week and I'm still functioning just fine. No caffeine problem! I have felt like crap the past couple days, but I'm going to chalk that up to lack of sleep and lots of stress. Coffee is being reinstated soon though, I miss it!

So yes, those are all the wonderful things that I've been doing (or not doing).

Highlights.

This has been a crappy week. Tons of homework, people being stupid, and just massive amounts of unnecessary crap to deal with.

But, I try to be an optimist so I'm not going to spend all my time venting and ranting about all my problems, because my life is not that terrible.

Like this morning, we took a quiz in my poli sci class. It wasn't really a hard quiz, it was only 5 questions and it was about the news articles we had talked about. We were going up to hand them in, and this kid in my recitation class comes up behind me and was like,

"Cara Cara Cara Cara! What did you get?"

"For which one?"

"All of them?"

So I had to check his quiz for him, and it was really funny because I had never actually had a conversation with this kid before. I had no idea he even knew my name, and I'm not 100% sure what his is. I wanna say it's Kevin, but I'm not real sure. It was entertaining.

The other highlight of my day was when we were sitting in our room with the door open, and some guy walks up and said hi. I figured my roomie knew him or something so I said hi back. Then he was like, "Ok so I don't know either of you, but can I borrow 45 cents?" Again, entertaining.

Tip of the Day: Don't focus on all the bad crappy stuff that's going on. It's not always easy, but try to stay positive, and you'll be fine =)
