Summer Ambitions Despite Current Admonitions (entry no.8)

 I'm finally back after a week break. Don't be confused though, it was a break from posting not a break for me. This week I have been soooooo busy, and most of the busyness comes from my personal life rather than school or work. I don't like to complain about it because I ultimately know it's my own fault for overworking myself but I can't help but do it. What can I say, she's a girl boss and she knows it. 

In just two weeks I'll finish my college semester, two semesters done and two more to go. I try to look at the glass as being half full rather than empty but some days it's hard. Especially on days like today when I have a 4 hour class on a Friday night with an assignment that will be due in 24 hours. In this case it's actually not my fault that I find myself in this predicament. The teacher always makes assignments due 24 hours after class ends, that means the assignment starts at 6:00 pm and ends the next day at 6:00 pm. But two more weeks and I can bid that class good riddance forever. 

I can't wait to have a 4 month summer, I already have so many things I want to do during my time off but I know that for my own sanity I should probably take it easy the first few weeks. It's going to feel so weird not having an alarm to wake me up at 5:00 or 6:00 am like I normally do. This semester I found that I actually got more work done in the early mornings rather than late at night. I remember the day before my 8:00 am exam last semester. I went to bed at 4:00 and got up at 6:00 like an absolute lunatic. Nowadays, I call it a night at 12:00 the latest and I'm sure my poor body and brain thank me for it. 

One of my goals for the summer is to go on a run every morning for at least an hour. I've always loved long distance running, I haven't done it in a while so I'm sure I'll be very rusty and tired at first but with time I'll build up my stamina. The only problem I have with running is the fact that I have to do it in public which is gross. I don't know why but I just find it so embarrassing, I hope there aren't a lot of people on the roads when I finally commit to it even though I'm sure there will be cuz I live on a busy street.

That's a problem for future Abby though, current Abby is just focused on getting a good grade on the Hardware Troubleshooting Maintenance final which is worth 35% of my grade. I get anxious just thinking about it, even if I prepare myself well I know there will be some sort of curveball. This class and the professor have always been wildcards. I didn't even get to talk about half the things I wanted to mention in this entry but it's time for me to start heading to that very same class I was just complaining about. That being said, I'll be back in two days time. :)

Are you coming or going? (entry no.50)

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Honestly I've been having too much fun while also stressing out and it's made me a fabulous combination of overstimulated and lazy. Hence why I have not posted an entry in over a month! But I don't want to let anymore time pass, I want to keep documenting my life, my experiences, and thoughts for a long time. My life updates aren't as interesting anymore now that I'm not in school. Well my life is actually super interesting right now but I just don't feel like writing about it, I'd rather live it in the moment.  I've got so many exciting plans for the summer, trips I want to take, people I want to see, hobbies I want to get back into. Like I do every summer, I want to go back to learning the ukulele, I also wanna take time to play some of my favorite video games again. I just find it hard to pursue these things cuz I legitimately cannot sit still, it's awful. I still try to pick up a book every now...

I fall for pretty home and away kits (entry no.25)

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

Co-workers & Classmates (entry no.47)

 Hello! It's been a minute, I know it always has been but I always feel the need to say that when I start an entry. I'm currently in my 10:00 am Web Technologies class, after today I only have to come two more times and I'll officially be done with this course. The same is true for my other Friday class on Microsoft Power Shell, I'm really nervous about that final exam. If I don's pass it I could very easily fail my class. I have NEVER failed a class, not in middle school, not in high school, not in college, and hopefully I never will. Long hours of studying await me to make the previous statement a reality. But my determination is just as strong as my fear and anxiety. If I want it enough I can have it, April is finally here, (not literally, but I'm trying to make a point). Honestly, it feels surreal how close to the finish line I am, college has taken up two years of my life. I was 19 when I started. On week six of my first semester I started working at my cur...
