It Is Good To Know What You Are Not…
[ No Comments ] Posted on 10.31.09 under Uncategorized
I am presently studying for my first exam in my Masters program, and as I am going through the content I find myself a little overwhelmed at the amount I need to know more so than the content of what they want me to know. The focus is on understanding rather than memorization, but there is still a lot of stuff to cram in there! But then I think of stats and math and how much I hated it. I am just not one of those people who could work with data center services. I have respect for anyone who can handle the math or do the programming aspect of it. But for me I just want to cry as the numbers begin to swim before my head!
Love it….

Other Side Effects Are..
[ No Comments ] Posted on 10.28.09 under Uncategorized
In addition to having an apartment that looks like it exploded, other side effects of moving, having a job and being a full time student include dark circles around your eyes to go with your sleep deprivation and complete lack of time. Despite spending the first 29 years of my life cream and make up free, 30 has made me turn to eye creams and make up in general to help cover up (and hopefully repair!) the general fatigue I feel.
Moving…

Ever notice how moving never seems to end? We have been in our new place for almost a month now (and that thought is extremely scary) and yet it seems like the actual process will never end. From interior renovating like laying down granite tile to getting our shelves up so that we can actually have a place to put the stuff that at the moment is collected in little heaps on the floor, it seems like it is never ending process. Toss in there we both work and I go to school as well, and I am starting to suspect that this time next year we may not be much better off than at the moment. 
Tired & Happy All At The Same Time

I just got back from our weekend trip to a motorcycle travelers meeting. I was a little hesitant about camping in October, but it turned out to be brilliant. I was toasty warm at night and the rain happened after I was in bed, and the tent is water proof! It also reminded me not to get too caught up in work and letting it make me an angry bitter person. Sort out things like term life insurance quotes, get the future secure, but do not forget the importance of spontaneity and seeing the world while you still can!
Human Nature

Why is that the things that are good for you, you hate, and those that are bad you love, despite the immediate after effect? For example, I know when I eat fast food, the immediate pleasure is intense, afterwards however I feel sick to my stomach, literally. Yet when I exercise I feel fantastic, and yet to get me to go to a fast food place you just need to say the word, but for exercise I need to be dragged. I love Taekwondo, and yet instead of going and being enjoying it I ate a chocolate bar. I need appetite suppressants, will power, and healthy food. Instead Im sneaking home for Tv shows after eating crap.

Study Time…

And now I must study, or at the very least do something more productive than reading web comics, or before I know it there will be video surveillance equipment installed in the apartment. We´ve moved, the place looks like it threw up over itself with furniture and clothing EVERYWHERE, however I must work this morning and get some studying done, which translates into I do not have time to clean. However its only so long that excuse is going to work before there will be proof of that demanded. 
To The Gym!

2 years ago I enrolled in a gym, the price was about what I wouldve paid in Canada, and the gym was nice, so I never knew it was a rip off. Turns out I was paying about 40 Euros more a month than anyone else I knew. GROWL.
And then 4 months ago I decided to join a martial arts class. I was told my German to only sign up for 3 months, to remember what happened last time I signed into a year contract. But my friend was also in this class and she was having a fantastic time. It was expensive, but still less than the gym. How could I not?
And now I find out I can do it at my university for free. Herrrrrrrrr Next time Im just buying myself a dip bar and then saving my monthly contract fees for trips instead.

Can I Go Now?

So after 3 weeks of travel with my parents, and one week back to school but not to work, today was my first day of actual work. I like this class, they are fantastic, and yet, I’m just not cut out to be a freelancer. I hate that my days are forever split up, and despite having 3 weeks off I feel like I had none. And I am already plotting my next escape. (As always). And in my martial arts class tonight there was mention of a new training camp that may take place in oahu, Hawaii next year. (This year it was Greece, but I missed it because my parents were here, and I was not abandoning them for the camp, no matter that it was the only thing that would be able to successfully hold me back).
However this can be motivation enough to get me to work:
SOoooooooooooooo True
