Ending 2012

The past few weeks (and really months) have been totally dreadful, and instead of talking about them, I would rather just think about the good things of 2012 so far. Here we go...

Since the summer I have read 47 books, or 17,802 pages total! Of course, that is mostly pleasure reading, not including a lot of the things I had to read for school. I think that is pretty awesome.  I'm just starting a list from the new year on to account for everything I read next year. Which starts in less than two hours.

A few resolutions I have planned (when I normally don't make any): 1. Try yoga or something to start destressing. 2. Be a uber-nerd for my last semester of undergrad. 3. Start exercising, dang it. 4. SAVE MONEY 5. (Most Importantly) Stop being a TV Zombie!!!!

I have done a few cool things this year.  Mostly right now all I can remember is the crap I'm stressed out about.  But let's see here...

I achieved awesome friend status with Heather.  I started this blog. I started a writing group, which begins next year.  I made some huge life decisions concerning Grad School.  I painted my bedroom, and did some awesome designing in there.  I came one step closer to a new bathroom.  I painted my utility room.  I made some other huge life decisions.  I bought a new (used) car. I did a ton of research. I did a ton of reading.  I reunited with some old friends.  I made new friends.  I've discovered a few new traits about myself, some of which I wasn't too happy with.  I branched out.

I'm sure there is way more than that.  Like a said, it's been a tough few weeks and an even worse few days.  I mostly wanna curl up with my nook and not move.  Which is probably what I'm going to do.  

This isn't the most awesome blog I've ever written.  At least I'm writing it. 

My hopes for 2013:
1. Better than 2012
2. Work through some issues
3. Save more
4. Live more

This year I have truly embraced being a procrastinator.  I don't like. I really want to stop. Trouble is, I keep putting that off to tomorrow.  Sadly, I was almost trying for that pun but really meaning it.  Netflix and Hulu have sucked me in. Remember that alien commercial about Hulu? I'm beginning to wonder if it's true.  So my most adamant resolution is to lower the amount of tv I watch. I'm thinking I'm allowed 1 episode a day, if that. I also want to start writing every day.

Well folks, Deeogee is begging for attention. Laters.

So it's been a month....

I know it's been a month since I blogged, but it has been a very crazy month.  School started kicking my bum. So let's go back a bit...

I got my new car - as was my last post.  I wrote a twenty page paper for my senior seminar class. Senior Seminar has been the most stressful class I have ever had.  The other senior seminar class wound up all taking incompletes. It was offered to my class. I took it.  I found out our paper had to be eight thousand words long. I have 6000.  I also need to rewrite the first half of my paper, as well as do more research and analyze more primary documents.  I had a week to do it, and I just couldn't accomplish that much under that much stress.  Not to mention another four page paper to write and two finals to study for.  So, I have about four weeks to work on it.  I've even done some work. Yay.

I got a B in Brit Lit and considering I did about 2% of the reading, I'll call that a good grade.  I received an A in Advanced Comp which I am very proud of. I am still waiting on 20th Century Seminar.  But, school is now over. One semester left.... I'm scheduling my GRE tomorrow for January. I'm helping a friend clean out her mother's house during break. I'm also going to start exercising with Nikki.  Hopefully it'll be a busy, good break.

I saw the midnight premier of The Hobbit.  IT WAS AMAZING.  There are a few scenes where I am .... eeehhhh on.  Other than that... AWESOME.  I'll make it's own little post later.

I went to the Game thing in Glasgow.  They were having the Christmas dinner.  It was tons of fun!  There was some dadgum good food too.  I met up with one of my best friends from high school yesterday. I really enjoyed it.  Then I took his girlfriend and another friend from high school to the dinner tonight, Rachel.  I miss all my old peeps :)  Heather gave me the two most awesome cupcake pans ever. I'm so glad to have new ones. I think she may have spent way too much on me, but I love them :) They also magically match my Paula Deen stuff.  I was going to post pics... but it won't bloody work. Maybe later. I can't wait for Heather to post her present!!!!

This weekend Heather and I are going to do some projects and then start cleaning out my garage and the apartment above it. I want to clean out and organize both as much as possible.  Eventually I want to start having a gathering here at least a month for my friends.  I want to wait till my poor bathroom is redone. Wish me luck with that.  The two garage bays would be awesome to have parties in. I have two couches in there and a fridge. We could get some tables.  I could paint it.  Stain the floor.  It would be fun.  The apartment needs some serious work.  It needs paint, the floors need help and the second room needs work on the roof as well as the wall.  It'll be nice to get that done.

I have so many plans for my house.  One day maybe some more of it will happen. -sighs-  Wish me luck. I should have so much to talk about, but I'm tired right at this moment. 

I'm out for the moment. Night!
