One...Two...Skip a few

Okay okay, I only skipped one day, and for good reason lol. Yesterday my body was screaming at me to take a break, so I listened and took a quiet day to myself (and to my xbox *cough cough*.) I biked to and from school today (with a 50lb book bag on my back, thanks to an $860 trip to the campus bookstore - kill me now!!!) and even skipped the elevator and walked up the stairs to go to one of my classes. I was already tired, so I was proud of myself for that move. Though I did regret it when I got home later and it took me like 7minutes just to climb the stairs to my apartment with bike in hand lol. After doing something tomorrow, I'll have officially completed my goal of doing 5days of exercise this week and be done with my first week of my commitment, which is a big deal to me.  :)

Things have been stressful here lately, but it's not necessarily unexpected. It's a big undertaking to move across the country alone, then start a graduate program the same week and be worried about finances as more and more money taking pains come up with no influx just yet. I'm disappointed that the job I was hoping to on campus was already filled, so I'm going to have to go around here applying at other places. I'd love to work at a vet clinic again! 

More than anything right now, I'm feeling the necessity of having a car. Biking home so late at night just does not feel safe to me here at all. I think part of that is just not knowing the neighborhood really, and not knowing anyone in the immediate area that I could call if anything did happen... So a job is on the top of my list of things to do/get, so I can move forward with everything.

I'm tired now, so going to get some much needed rest before cleaning my apartment tomorrow, job search Monday! Kelly, Ethan, and my own baby, Stephen, are coming down tomorrow to visit and I couldn't be more excited to see them all! :)  Much to do before they arrive... clean, do laundry... sleep.... lol

'Til later ;)
