My Best Friend's Wedding

So yesterday my best friend got married (to my other really good friend)! it was amazing and perfect and everything i ever hoped for them. I have been waiting for this for years and although it was emotional day i did better than i thought i would! i didn't expect people to understand the emotions behind my best friend getting married, but it wasn't about me so i was okay with it. The whole Day was devoted to her and her husband and they both looked amazing! i will never forget the look on their faces as they saw each other for the first time when the doors opened and she walked down the isle! it was priceless!

Now i just can't wait for my own wedding. it has sunk in officially, i am getting married and i cannot wait to be married. This whole having to go home at nights things is taking its toll, and after 2 years i am just excited to be married to Kel and to start our life together! there are a lot of unknowns in there, like jobs and money and everything else, but i don't care. after seeing the love and joy my two best friends had on the day they became man and wife, i can think of nothing except i want it to be my turn! i know the time will fly by, but i am impatient!

Today Starts the First Day of the Rest of My Life...

Ahh but so does tomorrow, so i'll worry about it then!

Anyway, so the past two weeks have been crazy, but i am so pumped about this weekend! my best friend from High school is getting married and i am in the wedding (and so is Kel)! i have been waiting for this wedding for over 2 years now and it's finally here! i cannot WAIT to celebrate with my friends!

However, today i woke up throwing up with a persistently bloody nose! i very rarely get bloody noses and they NEVER bleed like this, so i was seriously worried! i went to prompt care to find out the meds i was on last week are no good, and so instead i am on triple dosing of a moderate antibiotic (size pills a day, thats A LOT!) and steroids and a homeopathic remedy (has anyone ever heard of olive oil in your ears to soothe and relax them?). so after taking over 7 pills as told by my doctor taking a three hour nap, eating something and pouring drops of olive oil down my ears i felt better! hopefully this time the doctors will help me instead of postponing feeling like crap! Oh and the olive oil thing works really well, so if any kids have ear problems and ear aches, try it it's awesome, immediately soothing and relieves the pain for a long time!

However, even if i don't get better the doctor's visit was successful! i have struggled my whole life with stress and high blood pressure. since school ended i have been reading some old familiar and favorite books whenever i get stressed out. even though school is done i still have a lot of stress with work, wedding, money, and finding a career path! i found out that reading is helping and my blood pressure is lower than ever! So excited, it has taken me forever to get my blood pressure under control, and with three different infections in my sinuses i still have managed to relax and control my blood pressure! yay for the little successes in life!

life is awesome! since school has ended i have been happier than ever. i am not a school type person, and knowing that i can start focusing on the rest of my life is so exciting! Kel and i have never been better, my best friend is getting married, and i have learned how to take time for myself! :)

CRAZY!

so life since graduation has been beyond crazy. I have started my internship and after 0 days off i am still trying to catch up on life. there are so many things i need to catch up to and focus on that i am over my head in stuff!

I have been working 6am- 6pm while trying to keep up with planning and papers that need to get done. i also have been trying to squeeze in time with Kel, but unfortunately teh poor guy has to deal with my divided attention.

So overall this past two weeks has been crazy busy. i moved out of my apartment, moved back home, started working crazy hours (while still picking up extra hours to help pay for things), working on stuff for my best friends wedding that i am in, babysitting, and trying ot sleep at least 5 hours a night, but that doesn't always happen.

It's crazy! i need patience and a new calendar!

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

So, life is hectic and crazy and there's just not enough time to get everything done, meanwhile i sit on my but icing my foot!

So this week is the craziest yet. First I have finals. i wish i could say i am pouring my heart into studying for my last finals of my college career, but seriously the first 2 i was told by my teacher to not study and did exactly what i needed to to get the grade i wanted, so whatever for those. My next one i studied a little, but it was easy and we will see what i get. My last final is tomorrow and i have a choice. I can accept a C in the class, not study and i just have to get a 50% on the final to get a C. or i can study all night tonight and all day tomorrow and maybe try to pull of an A on this final (teacher notorious for trick questions and very few people get As on his finals) in order to get a B. However, there is a strong chance that i study study study and get anything lower than a 90 on the finals and i still have a C in the class. However, i do not have time for straight studying, so i am not sure what i am going to do.

Next i have work. I am picking up as many hours of work as possible because Kel and I have very tight finances for the next month. after May we will be okay and saving, but May is every tight and we need every penny. Not to mention gas prices have me seriously considering roller blading to work daily. Roller Blading might be less of a choice and more of a my car died and i have no money for gas option.

Then we throw in the fact that i have to be 100% moved out of my apartment that has two years worth of crap hidden in it. How people are constantly moving i will never know because the amount of schmitty materiel's i have collected is concerning. kel and i are using every free moment to pack up and move out. Not to mention it has to be cleaned. UGH!

Fourth, I have the busiest weekend ever and i start my internship on Monday. This leaves literally 5 whole minutes for me to prepare and adjust. i go from college girl whose classes come first to working girls whose work is her life in the course of three jam packed celebratory days. I also have a TON of stuff to do for my internship BEFORE it starts! OH MY!

Next, i really want to go out and celebrate that i am graduating with my Mass Communication degree in two days, TWO DAYS, and then i am graduating with my Parks and Rec degree in 4 months! this is amazing and i want nothing more than a beer raised high, some cheers from my friends and a sentimental song we can all sing along to. but alas, this will not happen for i have no money and no time for beer.

Finally (oh yeah there's more) i have mental stresses and general freak outs about the future, my life, where it's heading, what it means to be done with school, etc. I have all this stuff bottled up and all i want to do is take a nice long walk and evaluate how i feel and where my life is going. This long walk however has to wait until everything else is done.

Oh and i sprained my bad ankle! Slipping on tomato soup!

The words so much to do and so little time make em want to cry, because i know the so little time pertains to how much i will be sleeping this week!
