What A Dork

Hello,

A few days ago in class I did something silly. I glued my nail tip to my finger. So before you judge me too badly let me try to explain. In my nail tech class we use manikin hands and nail tips for practicing. The glue I was using was instant nail glue. For those of you that have never used nail glue, it is crazy strong! I put a small amount onto the nail tip and proceded to glue it to my manikin's finger. That's when I felt something on my finger and bam! Pulled my finger away from my manikin and realized I was one with my nail tip.

I tried to soak it in hot water first and when that did nothing I had to soak my finger in acetone. Ugh incredibly drying. The acetone started off clear and as time went on it turned white. The tip dissolved from my finger., leaving glue on my finger.

Since the acetone wouldn't dissolve the glue I grabbed a nifty file and filed it away. I was worried that the glue would mess up my finger for a bit an prevent me from being able to clock out of school. Yes I mean clock out. At school we use our finger and place it on a scanner to clock in and out for the day. Luckily it did not! Who wants to bet I'll end up doing it again?!

Then later that day I ended up spitting water out of my face onto my BUSM book :( I have no idea why or how really. One second I had a big mouth full of water and the next second I've got a wet page and a partially filled mouth.

Yes, I am special.

Look Up #4

Hey guys,

It is currently 11:57 pm. Happy St. Patrick's day by the way! 

Always remember you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. 

Think about it. 

Good night

Anatomy + Bagels

Hola,

Yesterday my instructor brought us all goodie bags!! They each came with various colors of crushed shells and a little bag of caviar beads. It's like Christmas in class!






I bought some bagels at work yesterday to take to class today, and I am glad I did. As a class we agreed today would be our mini potluck day. I brought various bagels and cream cheese. My instructor brought strawberries and a classmate of mine brought orange juice. I don't really like plain cream cheese, but oh man cream cheese on chocolate chip and french toast bagels with strawberries. You have to try it! Also if you've ever gone out or been around me for breakfast you've probably heard me say I don't like orange juice. I just don't. But every once in a while I get a random strong craving for some OJ. Last time I got a craving was on February 13th. Yeah, I didn't get any since then. Since there were only six people total today I got extra juice! I enjoyed our mini potluck. I think we are going to have to do this every week!

Look Up #3

Hi guys,

Today's Look Up I think I need to remind myself constantly.

You can't step into your future standing in your past.

This is very true. I feel like I have been in a weird almost in limbo stage of my life. Yes, I am still moving forward in time because time never stops (although most of us wish otherwise). I don't think it's a simple task to leave your past behind and look only to the future, but I don't believe it's impossible either.

Working on it.

Competitive Advantage

Hi guys,

(I wrote this yesterday but didn't get a chance to add the photos and all that so pretend like it's yesterday.)It's that time of the year again. What sucks though is that this time we lost an hour. I usually try to stay up till 2 am to catch the time change, but this morning I chose not to. Surprising though because I only had to wait 40 minutes to catch it. Waking up today I felt no difference. Could be because my alarm clock has been ready for the time change since the last time change. Talk about lazy right?

Starbucks had my favorite sandwich today! But look! Oh yea I forgot to tell you guys I always open it after they heat it and remove the spinach and reposition all of the tomatoes. Yup, I am aware that I am strange, but hey take it or leave it. I don'tknow why this happens to me. This is the second time I've opened one of these sandwiches and found half of the cheese was missing. Not THAT huge of a deal but I will admit it is disapointing.

I had to get the peach tea again. I've been craving it actually! I honestly like this one better than the peach tea at my work, but Shhhh don't tell em! As I sit here in Starbucks reading for my business class I came across this lol "For many of its customers, Starbucks isn't really in the business of selling coffee. Instead, it's offering a place to hang out that happens to sell coffee." I found that funny since you guys know I now like to sit at Starbucks for hours to do homework.




Lots to do today before the work meeting at 8pm. For my nail tech class I have to create a poster on HIV and AIDS. Need to finish chapter 3 for my business class before I can go online and complete the online homework assignment. Thank goodness I did the laundry yesterday. I'm not the only one that does laundry and takes forever to fold it right?


Enjoy your Sunday everyone! Or try at least.

Look Up # 2

Hi again!

Tonight's Look Up is for those of you that encounter numerous bumps on your road to success. I think everyone goes through hardships before they reach their goals. The difference between those that succeed and those that get burnt out is the will power. So when the going gets tough remind yourself that . . .

Obstacles are temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

Don't let something small ruin your progress. Ironic that I am the one saying all this, huh? Once you reach your goal you will look back and realize that what felt like the end of the road was just a little road bump. Keep going!

Good night,

She Won't Notice

Evening everyone,

Made it to the bed and it is 11:21. Not too bad. I had a really uplifting positive day yesterday but then I had trouble falling asleep. Which made it kind of hard to stay awake in class today. I didn't doze though!

Before I got out of bed today the baby decided to sneak on up to the top of the covers and cuddle up to me. I sat up a tad bit to look at her and she inched her way into the bed. Then when I sat up some more to take this photo she slid on into the bed. Real smooth Mimi, real smooth!

 After school I walked the baby and off to Starbucks! Got my iced green tea soy latte and this time I was good and got a tall in a grande cup. Wrote in the journal when I first sat down. Of course I got up later to get a refill of the peach tea. I love me some peach flavored goodness!!

I will admit that today's homework session was not nearly as productive as yesterdays. Only there for 2 and a half hours maybe. Had to keep it short because I had an appointment with my psychologist. Weird thing is this session I went in feeling relatively positive, but when I left I felt a little distressed. I don't know if it's because he tells me what needs to be said. The things that I sometimes try to bury away from my mind. I think I need some sleep. Hopefully I can knock out by 12:30. Up at 7:00 -,- for a long day of school and work!
