So, last night my father-in-law was supposed to start working on my car. I had to cancel much looked forward to plans with Morgan to see Beautiful Creatures.  He couldn't make it, much to my sadness so I missed the movie.  On top of that, I had planned to come home yesterday and get the house cleaned and all spiffy so I wouldn't have to be bothered with it today or tomorrow. I also had planned on finishing To Kill A Mockingbird. I've read it before, but it's been long enough I need to read it again.

So, I wanted to stop at Kroger on the way out and get some yogurt and bread. I park and see Cato's and decided to go in.  I wound up buying a really cute red lace Jacket. Yay, WKU colors.  It was on sale for $10. My new goal is to buy one nice dressy thing on sale every paycheck, so by the time I need it next semester, I have plenty of it.  Well, then I went to Kroger.  Stopped at Dairy Queen to order supper, because I had wanted a Cherry Milkshake for ages.  They have changed their sizes, which was very disappointing. However, they had to make new fries, and Misty didn't know.  So, since I had to wait a while, she threw in extra chicken and fries into my basket.  I got six or seven pieces of chicken and tons of fries. I was a little toooo excited about that :P

Anyways, I headed home and watched Grey's Anatomy.  I pulled up the trash can and took out some trash. And then the migraine kicked in.  I planned on just sleeping for about thirty minutes.  Heh.  I woke up at 10 when the hubby called.  I gave up and just went to sleep in the bed.  Woke up at seven this morning, started cleaning, cut down my history paper which I sent to one of my fav professors to review, and now I'm blogging to avoid the rest of it.

I've been very frustrated lately because this week I slept through my alarms (By now, I have three different alarms to make sure I wake up) and missed my first two classes, twice.  I'm not sure what's going on.  I wasn't able to sleep worth a darn the first time. I barely slept the next two days, made it class and work on Wed and Thurs, and then Friday woke up at 7:45.  I did find out that for Friday I had managed to reset all my alarms back to the default song which is way to nice to ever wake up anyone.  -sighs-  I angerly posted on Facebook, and a friend gave me this reply:

"Let go of the stress and anger. I had that epiphany in 2010 and it made my life exponentially better afterward. I'm not saying be apathetic, but you missed those classes already, you can't change that and being unhappy because of it will only lead to more crappy day...just put it out of your mind and go on. It isn't always easy (like my Barnes & Noble rant), but if you can learn to do it even 50% of the time, it's so worth it; it really helps deal with crappy jobs and crappy classes." -Kyle

I attempt to let go of anger. I really do. It used to be second nature in high school, but it's been lost as an art to me over the past four years.  Perhaps it is time to pick it back up.  I dunno.  I wish I knew why it was so bloody hard for me to wake up though. It's been getting worse over the past year, so I'm beginning to think I need to seek out answers.  I know I'm borderline anemic but that shouldn't cause this much trouble.  My mom's thyroid is jacked up, but I'm rather young for that to be a problem yet.  We shall see.

In other news, my LOTR skirt is on it's way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So are my LOTR EARRINGS!! THEY ARE THE ONE RING!  I SHALL HAVE THE MOST NERDIEST AWESOME OUTFIT EVER!  I need LOTR shoes.... I shall get to work on that, I know of many on Etsy, but perhaps I can have a friend do it for cheaper...

Well... I don't have anything cool or awesome to really tell you.  This was mostly ranting of things I should be doing but am not.  As the main highlight however, Dr. McCaffrey loved my Evolution of Me blog so much, she gueststarred me on her blog! Link is to the right.  I'm also attending three different conferences this semester and presenting my work!!!!!  Phi Alpha Theta is doing awesome as well, and I shall blog on that within the next week. Oh, and 76 days till graduation!!
