Trying to make an ULTIMATE time management schedule while still managing to be spontaneous...right.
September 30, 2003
For my dear friends that are having problems in/with life, just remember: life is a rollercoaster. Sure, it has its ups and downs, but it's the thrill that keeps you going. Instead of mourning, celebrate the life; instead of grieving about the past, anticipate the exiciting future. Who knows what's going to happen? Only you can make it positive. :D

:D <~~Just thought I'd add that.
Yay for family! They'll be here this afternoon. :)

I was feeling a bit sad last night...don't ask me why it happened last night, things just hit me like that. Last night I was feeling upset, sad, depressed, all that junk, because I came upon a realization. I am starting to feel a bit homesick.
How did I come upon this realization? Well, here goes. It's difficult to want two things that you cannot have at the same time because they are in two completely different places. Of course, I'm talking about my family and Dave. My family is in dear Montgomery County, Maryland, while Dave's over in Southeast Virgina. If I want to them both, I can only pick one, because they are in different directions. I have to take the time to see one or the other; they cannot be in the same place at the same time.
I was also realizing that I really want to see my family. Yeah, I've been happy the closer we get to Parents' Weekend because I get my printer then (tomorrow, yay!) and some other stuff I left at home, but the more I think about it the more I realize I can't wait to see them. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I felt like I had a family here, but it's been a struggle the past two years to feel that way, and from the looks of it it appears I'm still struggling. And now that Dave is no longer only two floors above me like last year, it's hard not having that someone to go to whenever I feel like it or need him. Yeah, it's just my time to feel bummed I guess.
Or maybe I just feel left out of all the people that are having problems. ;)

So why do all the guys in that picture (the website) have dark hair? Hmm.

Well, I hope you enjoyed Dave's lil post (well, not so lil) this weekend. As for me, I have yet to grasp a handle on this thing organized people like to call "time management." I've gotten into the habit of not doing any homework during the day, then working from 10ish at night to 2-3 in the morning. And having to get up to be at class/Field Experience by 8? Not fun. At least I've got a consistency in my wake-up times. 6 AM. Yup. Kinda sucks, kinda doesn't. Like I said, consistency is key. Whoever said college students need the most sleep out of anyone?
Turning the tides of my eating habits is still left to be desired. The high tide's still in for the time being (a.k.a. shoving food down my throat every 2-3 hours, mostly carb and fatty-substances). The work outs have ceased for the time being, only because my classes, errands, meetings, and other mandatory stuff cannot seem to mesh well together in one big clump. I just HAVE to have 45 minutes here, or 50 minutes there. Yup, never enough time for a good hour at the gym (and of course the shower time afterwards). Hopefully by me making a weekly hall program entitled "Battle of the Bulge" I'll be able to MAKE myself go to that dreaded place so far away. Of course, I'm more than willing to trek the campus to go to Stingers, which is about 2 minutes farther away than the gym. Yes, I make lots of sense.
Well, not that the dreary-dom is out, let the Tuesday games begin! And oh goody, I get to stay up to 3 AM tomorrow night too. ;)

"Honey, you'd let me pee in your sink?"
"....I don't know?"
"....I don't know?"
Hi all!
This is Dave (Trina's man) coming to you from Lynchburg! Let me recall what are the latest happenings.
First, as of this writing, Trina and myself are making a cake. Its actually an orange cake with either white frosting OR cream cheese frosting. We haven't quite decided yet. But, as a message to all who read this, you really should give Duncan Hines orange flavored cake a try! Its fantastic!
I actually got to Lynchburg yesterday morning. My school system had cancelled all classes on Thursday and Friday because of Hurricane Isabel. Never be fooled into believing that teachers hate having school days off. To the contrary, they (and myself included) love these miniature holidays. You will never hear anyone cheer so loudly when school is closed than the teachers at that institution. I guess we all have lazy streaks in our respective jobs; school closings help soothe those same streaks in educators.
Robin Williams is as equally funny as he is vulgar. Today, Trina and myself watched Robin Williams' HBO comedy special. Many thanks to Miss Mia Peak for allowing us to view her DVD. Anywho, his show is hilarious, but he does use the F*** word many, many, many times. Mia told us that after you watch it once, you get over the fact that he curses so much. So, here's a recommendation to all comedy lovers: Watch this DVD, but beware...your ears could become quite damaged from all the "filth talk." ;)
My baybeh gave me a wonderful "surprise" tonight. A crowd of ~15 showed up to eat at Lynchburg's very own Backyard Grill. It was great seeing old friends and having a good time! Thanks to everyone for making this a very special Saturday! It was good seeing you all!
Well, the cake is coming along now, but I most close this entry with this note: I love Trina soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very much!!!! She means the world to me!!!! And, I know that wherever I go and whatever I do, she is always in my heart (and I'm in hers) :D Hee. Beautiful, thanks for making this guy's world a much better place :*
Now, I turn this blog back over to her sweetness...Trina:

Yes...I've changed the name of my blog...again. Why is it so cheesy and soap opera-ish? Because I'm attempting to reform my lifestyle. Now that I have a life (even if it only involves a few people), I need to manage my time between class, work, food, and fun.
For starters, I need to set out a time for school work. Minus class-time, I need time where I ALWAYS work on homework. Consistency is key. Second, I need to set out a time where I'm in my room for my girls shall they ever need me. Responsibility is good. Third, I need to set aside time to go to the gym or work out. Buff bods are GREAT TO HAVE!!!!
I need to eat right, think smart, and work well. I need to be friendly, focused, and financially stable. I need to keep my cards in order, and play them right. In order to do all this, guess who has to be VERY, VERY organized? Uh huh, you know it.
So, that's my beginning. You shall [hopefully] hear updates frequently about my successes, failures, growths (as well as shrinkage hopefully), and lessons. Okay, enough with the serious contemplation crap, I NEED A CHANGE! :D
Of course, guess who'll I'll be thinkin' about the entire time I'm attempting to better myself. Uh huh, my baybeh. :) He's the one thing I'll never have to change. 0:)
Wish me luck!
