Last Week Madness!

Hello Bloggers and Classmates!

I am sure everyone is extatic that this will be our last week of classes, and if you have to come back on Monday for a final (your professor sucks!) I feel really bad for you!

Even though this week is our last, the work overload is tripled! I am craming in study time at my job whenever I can. I have finals back to back and two presentations back to back!(so nervous to get it over with!)

I hope everyone had a great semester! And I hope you all have an amazing break!

Busy Month!

My boyfriends birthday is the 22nd!!(Where we we will spend a day in NYC) Then Christmas!!! My favorite HOLIDAY! I love love love it! Then its my boyfriend and I anniversary, 5 years!! Then its New Years! Another year gone! Its an exiting month for me I get to have a month free of school (still have to work though) spend time with my loved ones and my close friends!

Anyone else exited for this semester to be over??!!?!!?

Back to School...

Hello Bloggers!

WE HAVE LESS THAN 3 WEEKS LEFT!!!! After this break I do not want to do anything. I had a 9:30am class this morning and let me tell you I did not want to get up! I am still in vacation mode! I know it is important to get back into the rhythm again. I had a blast on Thanksgiving, I love spending time with my family, its nice when we can all get together and just eat and spend some quality time. I hope you all had a great holiday break!!

Homework vs. Family Time

Hey Bloggers,

This weekend was a struggle between balancing out family time and doing school work. I had a four page paper due today. I had started the paper but had not quite finished it. I also have work to do for my Grammar class and study for test that I have tomorrow. Both Saturday and Sunday I had family events. Saturday we had family over and of coarse I want to interact and spend time. I don't want to be rude and not spend time with them plus, we only get to see them once in a while. Sunday we celebrated my Uncle's birthday at his house. So guess what I decided to do? I sat Sunday night and did everything I had to do! I was up all night. It was my fault in a way because I kind of crammed everything in. However, when it comes choosing between my family and school work, I will always choose my family. Our schedules are always different so when we get time to sit down together its okay to drop everything and spend time with them.

Thanks Rutgers!

Hey Bloggers!

This weekend was HORRIBLE! As you all know I had my Praxis 2 exam on Saturday. Well it didn't go as I had planned. The night before I was extremely nervous, trying to study as much as I could to be prepared for the exam. The next day I get up early at 6a.m to get ready and to leave on time to find the building I was going to take the exam. Since I am not familiar with the Rutgers Campus, I left early. I get to Rutgers, I found the building with no problem. I'm waiting in the basement were they told us to be in our Admission Ticket. We're waiting to be told were to go, they later posted up a sign (Come to find out I have to go to another building). I'm sitting in the classroom we were assigned. The exam was scheduled at 7:30am. I'm waiting, and waiting, its 7:45am, waiting....8a.m....waiting...8:30!!!! The person walks in with the exam...then its another 10hours checking everyone in one by one! I would not have cared, if I didn't have to be at work. I take the test, and since its written I'm not allowed to leave when I'm done. Its almost 11am and I was scheduled to be at work around 10am since I had told my boss the test was at 730am and I would be out at 9:30 since its a 2 hour test. Well since Rutgers was so UNORGANIZED! I left like 11am and my boss was livid. Saturday is the busiest day of the week. We are short-staffed as it is, so it was important for me to be there ASAP! I wished they would have started on time, so I could have been at work sooner(I take my job seriously and hate!!! being late for anything!)!!!! Ahh!

Holiday Fever!

Hey Bloggers!

Lets be honest! The semester is coming to an end(well almost) but Thanksgiving is so near that you start to slack off a little bit. I am usually an organized person, I like to do my homework ahead of time and study if needed also ahead of time. However, I have a lot going on that i loose track of everything. My family is still going through a tough time with my cousin in the hospital not getting any better, Thanksgiving preparations are coming up, the time changing, homework,homework, and more homework, and oh yeah work, oh and did i forget squeeze time for my boyfriend(i should have mentioned this in my first blog, but I've been with my boyfriend for 5 year next month...more details in another blog)..I just want it to end!!! I'm ready for the holidays and just spend time with my family and friends. Aren't you?

Not a Good Weekend =(

Hey guys,

This week has been a bad week! My cousin got really sick. She had an Aneurysm! She lives in Maryland, me and my family flew there friday night. She has not got any better each phone call we get is a call of dissapointment. My family and I are going threw a tough time. Im sorry for the short blog. Hope you guys will understand.

Lunch vs. Study/Do H.W

Hey Bloggers,

This week was an easy going week until the weekend. I was excited for this weekend because my job actually set-up a volunteer trip to a “Specialized Children’s Hospital” it was organized to be a “Team-Building Event” (meaning time to spend time with each other outside of work) then my boss said we could have lunch afterwards. It sounds like fun doesn’t it?

I was all for going volunteering, I’ve never done something like that before and I wanted to spend time with the children. However, I had told my boss that I couldn’t make it to the lunch he had set-up at Buffalo Wild Wings because I had to study for a Mid-terms, work on 2 papers. My boss was LIVID!!! He gave me the lecture of my life. I understand where he was coming from but half the team was not going, why make me feel bad for not going to ONE team-event. I always set up the team-events and attend every single one of them. The one event I can’t fully attend because I have to do my school work, he flips!! Tells me he’s “DISAPPOINTED AND ANNOYED” I just didn’t understand why he was so angry with me if half of the team wasn’t going anyways. Did I make the wrong decision, by missing out???

UGH LIFE!

Hello Bloggers,

                Another week gone, time flies! Midterm week is coming up and stress is piling up! Wish things could be a lot smoother. As much as I love life I also just want to step away. As we get deeper into the semester, it gets tougher for me. Work is stressful and so is school and as much as I wished my personal life was peaceful it is not. My parents are going through a tough time in their relationship and it’s hard to see them argue and not get along. They have been married almost 25 year (will be 25 this coming August) and its hurting them emotionally as much as it’s hurting my brother and sister as well. Everyone has a busy schedule during the week, with work and school and homework.  Monday- Friday we barely see each other so when it comes to the weekend instead of being a peaceful weekend it is not!  I just want things to get better, so we don’t have to have add another load of stress on our shoulders. Hopefully next weekend will be a better weekend!

Three Day Weekend FAIL!

Hey Bloggers,

Another week gone! Most of my friends are enjoying this three day weekend, while I am at home stuck doing homework! Taking 6 classes is not an easy task.  My friends are going out to party and simply have a good time while I am at home hitting the books.

At times I just want to be like screw it and drop everything and just GO! However, the fact that I have OCD and if I don’t get my task done I start having anxiety attacks…holds me back. Yeah I know, what you are probably thinking…it will be worth it at the end. When will it be the end? When I’m almost 30!! I want to be able to have a good time and not be worried about school or work. But I guess in my world. THAT’S IMPPOSSIBLE!!

Work Overload!!!

Hello bloggers!

So in my last blog, you can notice how exited I was about escaping from school and work. This week was totally different. I am starting to get over whelmed with EVERYTHING!! I know going to college and work is a necessity for me but this week I just didn’t want to deal with it. I know you’re not supposed to mix school and work however I am drained out!! Work is killing me!

Okay I work part-time (Can’t say where I work because I will probably get in a lot of trouble if I did), get paid to be a part time worker!  My boss on the other hand loves making me do my supervisor job! I must say I do not care on doing it once in a while. BUT there are full-time workers who are there before me, same position as me get paid more than me (because they are full-time). I try to do my homework work during my lunch break, however my boss thinks it’s okay to sit with me in lunch and ask me work related questions. I am so tired when I get out of work, that when I get home I’m so annoyed I don’t want to go home and do my homework because I’m so tired. Working is a must for me to get through school, however I do not get paid like my supervisor does so I don’t think I should be picking up her loose ends. AHHHHHHHHHH!

Best Friend's Birthday Weekend

Welcome Back Bloggers,

       My last blog I introduced you into my world. As you know by now all I do is work and go to school in order to try and make it in this world. My world being work and school however this past weekend was different. However, even though I had a lot of school work to do, I made the choice to rebel for one weekend. For the first time in a long time I did something fun which I have not had in a while. It was my best friend’s birthday and she really wanted to celebrate big! At first I was a little hesitate about going out to party. We started planning out her birthday weekend and we decided on…ATLANTIC CITY!! For the first time I decided to leave work and school aside and have a good time!!!

                I decided to do this for me and my best friend. I think students should be focused in school or work nevertheless also go out and have some “me time”. After that weekend of being careless and just have a good time. When I came back, I was focused on school. I needed to step out of my regular routine and do something for you!!   Sometimes we forget we are still young. 

Welcome to my Journey!

Welcome to my blog! This blog will allow you to express your feelings and experiences throughout your college life and the real world being; work, work, work and more work! In the fantasy world a college student is someone who goes to school, does not work, dorms and parties. Not everyone has the privilege to live in this fantasy world; some students have to get jobs to pay their way through college. I know for me after I get done with classes I am exhausted and don’t feel like going to work and dealing with more work. I feel like this is going to be a long journey.
