Monday was a fantastic day - I know right, usually making it through the day is considered an accomplishment on Mondays. I just had a really good day. I was energized from spending the weekend at home, my classes were fantastic and I ran into some friends on campus during the day - also I used the microwave in the Institute to pop some KettleCorn popcorn during my break between classes. *Bliss* I was really productive and got my resume and cover letter all sorted and ready for printing Tuesday morning. I think Tuesday was on one, because it was acting like a Monday.
I got up bright and early Tuesday so I could run to Staples and print out my resume on some nice linen paper that I love. ...well it had snowed overnight and I had lots of ice on my windshield (although it is worth mentioning that Monday night I drove back from the Graphics lab up on campus in the snow... and forgot to turn off my wipers... that was my first mistake) so then when I turned my car on in the morning, my wipers went crazy and I heard a loud noise (that's never a good thing) .. I stepped out of the car and what I found was one of my wipers had come off - and that it was bent. Awesome...as in not really. So anyway thankfully it wasn't snowing so I made it to Staples and printed, but they couldn't do full bleed on the nice paper so I ran back to my apt. parked my car, quickly walked up to campus and got my resume printed full bleed at the copy center and made it to marketing on time.
My classes were great - as usual. Then I went to Pilates... usually we have an easier work out on Tuesdays and then a hard one on Thursdays... but not this week. We did tons of pushups and used the gliders - major ab and arm workout. I was sore before I made it home. Then while making lunch I sliced the side of my finger on a can of peaches. *Sigh* what a day! I survived the rest of the day and Wednesday was much better. Between classes my friend and I went to the new staircase of the Ray B West Building and took some more pictures to choose from for our portfolios. I also took some cool pictures of the concrete and the staircase. I posted it on my design blog: anchaleedesign.blogspot.com.
Wednesday after class I was productive in REVIT and updated the Frank Lloyd Wright post on my design blog. I didn't go dancing, but I got some ice cream with my roommate and watched another episode of Burn Notice. :)
Thursday was a bit of a relief, since I turned everything in that was due. Took a quick quiz in Marketing.... which of course I forgot to turn off my phone and my Dad called me. Thankfully he only called once... the class got a nice laugh out of my ringtone. in Business Practices in Interior Design we had an Accountant for our guest speaker. Running your own business is pretty intense. I will have to think about it carefully if I want to pursue that in the future. Thankfully Pilates was great. There was much more stretching and less cardio and pushups this time. Choir practice was great. I am excited to sing on Sunday!
Friday. TGIF! Revit was good, we worked on putting in stairs and building a ramp. Not too bad, I think I am getting the hang of it. Religion in Life was delightful. The Sister who spoke was fun and illustrated lessons from her personal life experiences. Some of the things she said were: to think about if we are taking care of ourselves, Good friends make a difference, Hold on to the gospel to make you a better person. Don't have to wait until you are 'good enough' to go to church, go to church and let the gospel lift you up, the Spirit has a comforting power, love grows, and my favorite quote from the talk: "Hold tight to all that is good"
Tonight after spending some quality time in the library, I went to Sub Zero for the first time with a friend of mine. I started with a soy base, then had fudgey chocolate and peanut butter flavors and brownies for my mix in. Liquid nitrogen is pretty sweet stuff. The ice cream was good, had to let it melt a little bit to get a smoother texture but I definitely want to go back! Then I finished off the night by watching Despicable Me at a friends apt. and then updating my blogs. ^_^ Good day!
This weekend should be busy but great! Bridal shower, singing in church and at the Joseph Smith Memorial fireside, I have a valentine gift to deliver, and then one more week and then the 3 -day weekend for President's day! I am stoked!
