In the Cards

I’d like to start the morning by reminding everyone, most especially me, of a quote I had on here the other day – “Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well.” ~Josh Billings

You know, I do have lots of reasons to complain right now – my foot hurts like crazy, I’ve gained weight the past few months, I can’t sleep at night which makes me tired all day, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life, moving to Buffalo with Adam limited the programs I can apply to, my skin is going crazy and it makes me sad – but I have so many things to be grateful for I can’t even begin to list them.  Even if I don’t know what programs I am applying to yet, doing well in my Chemistry class is a prereq for all of them.  I need to stop wallowing and do the best to make the most of what I have.

That said, I woke up at 8am this morning and got started on breakfast.

It was very tasty, though I don’t think I will buy that particular fake sugar yogurt again.  I liked the pillowiness of the cereal but I think that with milk it would take a huge bowl to fill you up.

I also drank the 2nd half of Adam’s orange Rockstar.

On the agenda for today –

  • Prepare for my first lab: answer the pre-questions, fill out a flow-chart
  • Study for my first quiz: review my notecards, do practice problems
  • Go to the gym (even if I can’t do anything but walk on the treadmill for 5minutes and cry, I’m going)
  • Shower
  • Lunch
  • Drive to campus – my new way, which is all highway, is 8x faster, yay
  • More studying
  • Chemistry (5-8:50pm): quiz, lab
  • Drive home – my new way home is even faster!!!
  • Dinner
  • Blog
  • Bed

What is your goal for today?

  1. I like your plan to keep your head up girlie, of course things could always be worse, and looking at the positives is a great idea!
    My goal is to make it to 7:20 tonight when classes for the week are officially over and I can start my weekend!! I havent been able to enjoy a weekend in 3 weeks! Long story short but crisis’s came up and holidays plus I have had a killer headache for like a entire day now! Not easy when you got classes all day as I am sure you know! … but yay for the weekend at the end of the day!

  2. i love your positive attitude! despite the crappy aspects in life, it is for sure important to remember the good parts. you are going to have such a fun adventure when you move! my goal for today is to finalize the sell of my car and get a killer HIIT workout in. xoxoxo
