Sweeeeeeeeet! So I took exam two last night and was worried about a couple of the questions. They seemed almost like trick questions to I worded them as carefully as I could. I checked my progress report to see if by chance it was already graded and I made a 100!

I am so psyched! I really like the grader for this class as well. Normally you have to wait about a week before you get your grade but she does them in one or two days. I have to remember to send her a thank you note at the end of the class.

It stormed like crazy today. It's suppose to be pretty bad tonight I hear. Something about the weather they are having up in Colorado is stemming off down here. I got the prettiest pictures today. I'm not sure how well they will turn out though since they were taken with my phone.

Off to change for my Zumba class!

Finally got my butt into the Zumba class! I am so uncoordinated but it was a lot of fun. The instructor is really sweet.

I also liked that the class wasn't full of a bunch of super fit know all the moves women. There was a nice rounded (no pun intended) assortment. I also like that my instructor wasn't this super tiny spandexed little thing either. She was a normal size like the rest of us.

Can't wait for the next class!

I'm currently avoiding taking my exam. Not because I'm worried I won't do good but rather because I'm being lazy. I have to go into work tomorrow so I have no interest in doing something that feels even remotely like a chore.

I didn't end up doing much today. I lounged around on the couch, took some photos for my beauty blog and then ran around with Cory. I feels so much later than a little after eight right now.

Good God today was a long day. Not only were we short staffed at the office but a couple of coworkers did nothing but gripe and complain the majority of the day. I was able to ignore it for most of the morning but just like poison once you're around it enough it manages to seep in until everyone in the office is miserable.

I had plans to go to the gym today. After work I felt so drained I chose to come home and veg instead. I'm currently battling the idea of going on a walk/jog.

I have seen a ton of people posting about this Couch to 5k thing on Facebook. I was reading up on it last week and it's kind of an interesting concept. It's suppose to train your body to be ready to run a 5k in three months.

It seems pretty easy. You warm up and then run/walk for different intervals and then cool down. They even have an app for your phone that tells you when you need to start each thing.

I have my first Zumba class in the morning. I'm so excited!

OMG I think I'm going to die! I did the first session of couch to 5k. I only made it into the second 90 second interval before I had to stop. In the fourth interval I jogged a bit and then I walked the rest of the way. Well, I walked until the halfway point and then I went inside admitting defeat.

I have also finally made a huge decision though I haven't decided if I am going to post about it on my blog. It's something that stirs up controversy that I don't really want to deal with the flack that comes from it. It's something I've wanted to do forever and now I have the means to do so, so I am.

Long day. Since I hadn't been sleeping I got the brilliant idea to take a sleeping pill last night. As a result, I overslept by an hour and a half. Thankfully traffic was extremely light this morning and I was still able to make it into work only a couple of minutes late.

Unfortunately, we came into the office slammed with 42 loans from the night before. We were able to pump them out pretty quickly though which made for a fairly pleasant afternoon despite a few minor glitches.

In my hurry to get to work this morning I forgot to take my gym clothes with me. I figure it's just as well though since I didn't listen to my class last night and need to do it tonight instead.

I have no idea where the time went yesterday evening! After I got home from picking up my prescription it seems like we ate dinner and then it was time to go to bed.

Finally listened to my lecture. Now I just need to take my exam. I've found the best way for me to concentrate on the lectures (and not have to listen to them twice) is to edit pictures in photoshop while it's going on.

I tried scanning things on the internet but I always end up reading and stop concentrating on what he's saying. While I was doing this I came across a couple of pictures I had taken and planned on posting but never did.

I'll get a quick post written up about it tomorrow. It's about salvaging my dining room table. I thought I had ruined that thing. I'm still amazed at how good it looks now.

Today was just as long as I expected it to be being my first day back after vacation. I expected it to be slammed but instead we got lunches and free time to boot.

The bad part about that is I always find things I like online and spend money. Today I spent $50 but I scored that from my paypal balance from my blog sale.

I decided to forego going to the gym today. I was going to go to my first Zumba class but had to stop and get a prescription. Plus, with this class it will be 8:30p before I get out and then I still have to cook dinner. I decided to bring clothes with me and go after work on days when they have the class earlier.

I probably won't start until next week. This way I will have time to listen to my one class I need to catch up on and then I can take my second exam tomorrow.

I decided to have my doctor switch my meds. In addition to not being able to sleep (woke up AGAIN at 3am) I'm constantly on edge and tensed up. My jaw is so sore from constantly clenching.

I'm hoping this new stuff won't make me into a zombie. I've taken it before but it was at a much higher dosage. The first few days it was total zombiefest. We'll see. I've already popped my first pill.
