The little girl with the princess snow shovel (entry no.45)

 It's a funny thing. I have so much more free time this college semester then I had last semester despite only going to school three days. Who would've thought that having classes spread out throughout five days makes a world of a difference. I guess it was a blessing in disguise, one of those "trust the process" moments. Next week I have three midterms, one on Tuesday and two on Friday for my three hardest courses. But despite this, I am not panicking which is so incredibly refreshing. Like I said, trust the process, no point being anxious all week, I'll take the midterms one by one. The first exam I'll take on Tuesday is Computer and Network Security, the assignments and labs have been very easy but there is a lot of theory that I don't understand. It's a good thing I only work Monday and Saturday next week.

Speaking of work, I now work a lot less hours and surprise surprise I am now happier and wayyyyy less stressed. The other day I was talking to a friend of mine and she just kept staring at me. All of a sudden she asked if I had been doing anything different like dieting or taking supplements cuz I looked so much healthier and alive. It's funny how stress and busyness can take such a big toll on our physical appearance. I guess another reason I feel a little more relaxed today is because I didn't have any classes yesterday because of the massive snowfall on Wednesday night. I got up at 9:00 am yesterday morning and basically rolled out of bed into my show boots and favourite winter hat. 

I then stepped outside and grabbed a big yellow snow shovel and started helping my dad clear the driveway. This year I've decided to make more of an effort to help my dad shovel snow off the driveway. The truth is he's not getting any younger and our driveway is MASSIVE. Also, since winter is my favourite season I actually enjoy being outside and shovelling snow. It was hard work but we got it done in two hours. When I woke up this morning, I was actually surprised that my body didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. But maybe that's for the best since more snow is coming this weekend so I'll probably be out in the driveway shovelling again very soon. 

When I was little, my parents bought me a Disney princess themed snow shovel. I was much less effective with it than I was yesterday. I remember I would shovel for five minutes and then run into the big piles my dad created with my little sister. It's hard to believe how long ago that was. I am now 21 and about to finish my college program that I started two years ago. I have short curly hair, something that little girl with the princess themed snow shovel would never believe. Throughout my childhood I always had long hair with bangs. Now as I come to terms with the fact that I am now an adult, I have decided to once again grow out my hair and get bangs. It won't be a permanent hairstyle but I do feel like I owe it to that little girl with the princess snow shovel.

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...
