34 more days until my cousin's wedding! I have 34 more days to tone up my body so I can look gooooooood in the bridesmaid dress! Here's a pic of what it looks like.

Pretty much, I'm excited I get to be a part of it. I'm so happy for my cousin and I really hope things turn out good for this marriage.









School's almost out for summer. I'm kind of so-so about it though. I really don't like studying, but I never have anything to do when school is out. I guess I'll just work more. Maybe I'll start up teaching piano lessons again. That might be good for me.

I need a larger bookshelf! I recently realized that my recent bookshelf is not sufficient for my growing number of books! There needs to be some changes in my room in order for me to get a tall one. I've got to get this room-cleaning thing done!

Fetal Pig Disection

We finished our fetal pig disection today in biology lab. I took the heart out of it to examine it and my two lab partners (should they be called partners if there were 3 of us? Hm...) squirmed so much trying not to throw up. It was pretty hilarious. Anyway, it was pretty interesting looking inside of a mammal and seeing all the organs and systems that are inside of our bodies as well.

I still don't want to be a doctor, mom and dad. Don't get too excited.

Well, the test in my biology lecture class didn't go as well as I thought it did. I still just barely passed with a 72, which seems to be my norm in lecture. In lab, I do really well and pass all the quizzes with a 90, usually. So, for the final, I'll really have to study up.

Oh, here's something good-but-also-really-sucks. My 4th wisdom tooth is finally coming in. It hurts. Okay, maybe it just really sucks. I can't think of anything good out of it.

Big shoutout to Sheldon. He chipped in and donated some money so I could go buy some clothes, something I haven't done in a while. I just wanted to say I appreciate what he did for me! Everyone give him a "/me high fives Sheldon" if you see him in my chat!

Schoolio.

I'm actually blogging from somewhere besides home! Heh.

So, I took a bowling test, which was basically just scoring and recap sheets, and I think I did pretty well on it. I also took a biology test, my 3rd, I believe, and I think I also did well on that. I think I studied more this time which made a lot of the questions seem easier. Hopefully I did get most of the answers right. I'd hate to fail biology.

Well, at work I now have an accountability partner. I'm trying to tone my stomach down for my cousin's wedding in May so I'm trying to eat healthier and work out. Matt's been telling me what and what not to eat and he's going to give me a list of exercises to help me work out. I'm really hoping I can actually follow them. He's trying to get me to join a gym down here too because Starbucks partners get a discount. I'm thinking about it....

Bobby gave me some pretty good advice. He knows I used to write poetry and that I love to sing. He told me I should try writing songs so Sunday I started one. It's really hard because I'm also trying to write music to it as well. I probably shouldn't do both at the same time but for some reason, it makes it more challenging and makes me want to keep at it. I'm much better with challenging projects if they don't have anything to do with school. That's one of the reasons my room is actually getting cleaner. Soon, I'm going to try and reorganize my room and furniture placement so I can keep it cleaner longer. I think my new viewers will be happy for that.

My manager told me that I've stepped up the bar since I've started working for Starbucks. This is a huge acheivement for me, even if she is required to give these kinds of pep talks. My last job was all work and no appreciation, which is one of the reasons I quit. I worked my butt off for 11 hours each day and my old manager would just schedule me longer and get onto me for little mistakes. Starbucks is a fun environment, just like I thought it'd be and I enjoy it so much. It's somewhere I can go to just hang in my free time or when I need to study/relax.

School's almost out for summer! I'm really looking forward to not having to work on homework or study for tests. Then again, I get so lazy at home and I enjoy leaving the house and being productive. I'll need to find some kind of summer hobby.

Well, I'd better head off to Algebra. Just wanted to stop by and give updates!

My Day.

Today has been a terrible day but I refuse to write about it. Instead I will write about all the good things that have happened.

My CafePress site is awesome! I have a great team working on the design and logos for it. It seems to be doing a lot better than it used to. Everyone needs to check it out often.

Today my biology class got to dissect fetal pigs. At first, I was adverse to the idea but once we got started, it was actually pretty interesting. The two girls in my group squealed when we started cutting into the underside of the pig but I thought it was actually pretty cool.

My PayPal debit card finally came in. Now I have direct access to the account. I'm so happy.

Work is going great. We just got started on a whole bunch of new benefits and changes to our daily routines. We're brewing Pike Peak Roast every day and let me tell you, it is sooo good. If you are a black coffee drinker, you need to try it. Just stop into your local Starbucks and they'll let you taste it for free. Trust me, its so sweet and nutty...
Anyway, other things changing are that Starbucks gift card users actually have benefits now. You get free syrups in your drinks and if you wanted soy milk, it comes free too. There's more information here.
Oh and I'm thinking about becoming a Coffee Master. It will take a lot of research and training but I think I'm up for it once I get certified as a barista.

I seem to be bowling better at my local bowling alley. I bowl around an average of 130 at home and about 100 at school. Both lanes are different in oils and oil patterns so thats one of the reasons I bowl so differently. Also, I bowl at night at home and early in the morning at school. Either way, I seem to be doing a lot better. It's pretty awesome.


I think I'm going to do homework now.
