Busy, but Great Day!

I said I wouldn't post until finals were finished, but I just have to because it was such a great day and I feel like I got a lot accomplished! I had class from 8-12, then a 1 hour lunch break, then class from 1-4:30. I came home for about 30 minutes for dinner and then I went back to the college to observe an exam for one of my classes. I got home around 8 and went for a run and had to stop for a while because my blood sugar got a little low. I even drank some pomegranate juice before I started because I was 85. I waited awhile then went for another run and now I'm 90! I also didn't have time to make much for dinner so I got sushi and grapes from downstairs. It was so good!

Now it's time to be more productive and get my optics quiz done and possibly studying some pharm.

Here's a picture of the bento box I got at Toyama Sushi in Midtown NYC back in December. If you want amazing food at an amazing price I recommend going there!

Midterms

I'm taking a break from studying for midterms just to make a quick post since it has been a long time since my last post. I have midterms every week for the next few weeks so I probably won't be posting until after finals end on March 13th. I'm leaving for NYC on March 15th for a week also! I'm excited to see T & B because I miss them already! I talked to B tonight for a long time and tomorrow we start our running challenge to see who can run the most in 30 days. Should be interesting on my part. I'll see if I can keep up with B! Probably not, but maybe this will be the motivation I need!

Here is a picture of Betty in an Kaufman's Army Surplus Store on 42nd Street in NYC. The hat is from WWII and I probably should have bought it for Betty because I think it fits her well.

Shopping

I went a little crazy shopping the other day, but I think I came away with several good purchases and I'm now ready for the ski trip in January! I bought a new pair of ski pants and actually got a really good deal on them at T.J. Maxx! 
I also found this pair of shoes that I think are pretty cute, but I want everyone's opinion!

As far as shopping for other people, I didn't do very good. I think for my gift exchange person for the Thomas family I might just go with giftcards since there were several that that person wanted.
The family is getting together on Sunday to make the annual chocolate candy. If you want some, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
I went to bed really early last night (10:30PM) and woke up this morning with a low blood sugar at 5:30AM and can't seem to go back to sleep. I'm full of energy for some reason! I think I'm going to go do laundry then start packing for NYC! I'm taking my ice skates this year (as I did last year) and WILL go skating! I don't care if I have to go by myself, but I'm not letting anyone make excuses this year!

10 quarters to go!

Finals are done for this quarter and I'm very glad to be done until January. I plan on packing for NYC in the next week and maybe do some cleaning around the apartment.
Here are some pictures that are sort of old, but I had issues with my camera as noted before and then school took up all my time, so here they finally are! Oh I just wanted to say thank you to my mom for getting me a SD card reader for my birthday! I am now able to get my pictures off my SD card onto my computer!

Pictures

I wish I could post pictures, but my camera and my computer don't get along. I think I just need iPhoto, but I can't seem to get it. Not sure why it's not on this computer that Trent set up for me. Guess he didn't use iPhoto, so never thought it necessary to put it on here. Leopard comes out Friday! My birthday is Sunday! Exciting weekend ahead. Mom & Dad are coming on Saturday to take me to dinner and then we're watching the Buckeyes take on Penn State! I sometimes wish I had a bigger place and humongous TV like in my apartment before so I could entertain once in a while. Stay tuned for pictures. I hope I can get my camera synced this weekend!

Bicyclists

I have to vent my frustration because this may be one of my biggest pet peeves! And please note that I also ride a bike around town. So today I am approaching a red light and there is a bicyclist in front of me on the road. First off, I think bicyclists should be allowed on the road, BUT they should have to follow the rules of the road! The guy in front of me on the bicycle just ran the red light! IF YOU ARE GOING TO RIDE ON THE ROAD PLEASE FOLLOW THE TRAFFIC LAWS! I also have no problem with bicyclists riding on the sidewalk as long as they don't go 50 mph past the pedestrians. I almost got ran over once because I never saw the crazy speeding sidewalk riding bicyclist coming. GRRR! Sorry about the rant, I just felt it needed to be addressed!

Blogging

I decided to create a blog because that seems like the current thing to do! Hopefully I can keep everyone updated on a pretty regular basis. I'll try my hardest!

Tonight I went to Target and even though I stopped buying soda at the grocery store, I found a Green Tea Soda by Hansen's that was diet and looked good and I figured I had to try it. It is really good. I was a little scared because I'm not a big green tea fan, but this is actually Pomengranate flavored, so I can't taste the green tea!

Well, I'd better call it a night. I have to get up before noon tomorrow as the football game starts at 12pm. Go Bucks!
