Hi, I go to college and study graphic communications. I'm a people watcher, an early bird, and shower singer. I'm a lover of milk, Adobe Creative Suite, Grey's Anatomy, and giraffes. That is all. Otherwise, ask!
Update to “Running is hard stuff, you guys.” | Plus a new goal!
Alright, alright, alright! So a few days ago I attempted to start running again. Afterwards I felt good, but I definitely felt out of shape. When I woke up the next morning I could barely move my legs. My shins burned. My thighs hated me. And my butt. MY BUTT, you guys! It felt like I had done a million squats and/or lunges. (But then I guess that’s what running is? Kind of?) So, I took a few days off from running. I decided it was best if I didn’t kill myself in the first week of this journey and I plan on continuing tonight when it cools off a bit. On to the new content below!
OK people. I really want to be cool and show you my awesome collection of clothes (not sure if they’re really that awesome), but my room is a wreck right now. Forcing some motivation into my little bones so hopefully when I get up for a glass of milk in the middle of the night I won’t trip over my mountain of dirty clothes and fall to my death. Seriously. No, really, I will post before and after photos. Just so you know.
Running is hard stuff, you guys.
I decided that I wanted to get back in shape. I just ran an un-distanced amount, (if that’s a word?) My body is aching and one or both of my lungs may have collapsed. But I feel good. I feel like if I can muster the will-power to continue doing this, then I can reach my goal.
Positive Rashry is being positive! (Let’s see how I feel about this tomorrow and wish me luck!)
COLLEGE IS SO FRUSTRATING.
Am I insane for registering for 19 credit hours over the summer?
Several people have said that I must hate myself. Really, I just must hate my wallet.
****RANT****
My major requires me to complete two internships before graduating. One is required to be during a fall or spring semester and the second one can be during a summer. You have to pay for one credit hour of tuition while completing your internship. I am currently interning for the Spring 2012 semester. Ashley’s bank account: subtract $678.23. Okay. Got that paid. Now, I need to catch up with my school work and course credit hours. So I thought I would just register for some classes over the summer in order to catch up on the classes that I missed while interning.
Register for 19 hours. University charges per-credit hour. Tuition is $9,973. Um, EXCUSE ME?! Summer tuition is more than I pay for a Fall or Spring semester! Thankfully I have scholarships but they don’t cover everything. I still have to pay $1,834 out of pocket. Whut? So frustrating.
I’m working towards graduating in 3 1/2 years instead of the traditional 4 years. I don’t know if I’m killing myself by doing this or if it is going to be worth it. I think I am going to take advantage of the technical school close to my home and try taking a couple of classes there instead of the University. Not only are the classes cheaper, but some are easier. I’m hoping if I take 6 hours at Tech, then the 13 I take at the University will be more budget friendly and not bite me in the butt.
Other issue. I’m almost positive that the class I have to take this summer for my major requires all students to have their own digital SLR camera. The cheapest one of these that I have seen is $350. So far I have been fortunate that I have not had to take out any student loans but I feel like this whole college thing is really starting to push my buttons. I just feel like I have to jump through so many hoops to get to the end of all of this.
Excuse the bad iPhone quality photo, but this, here, is my child. My love child. Looks just like me, can’t you tell. Ha. Ha. No. This gem right here was actually my Christmas present to my boyfriend. While we love him, he is most definitely a handful. Much like a child is. Needless to say, we have since decided to hold off on having children. Not like we wanted any now anywaysss! (I’m still in school, ya nasty!) But our hands are pretty full. I digress.
He is fully AKC registered and his full name is Hurricane Hendrix. Cute, right? But Hurricane can really be kind of a mouthful, (try saying it 5 times really loudly) so we just call him Cane.
Back to topic. This little booger got groomed today! We took him to PetSmart (PetsMart? PetSMart? PETsmart?) where he got a “Premium Scrub,” “Fur-minator,” and nails grinded. They said it would take 3 hours. THREE HOURS??? I was shocked. So was honey. We have not had free time like this in several months. Crazy. So we walked around PetsMart. For 3 hours. OMGracious! So exhausting. We were really worried about him and didn’t know how he would react to being scrubbed down by strangers. He’s usually used to taking showers with me, but I just can’t pick that fat baby up anymore to really get him clean. When we picked him up afterwards, the groomer told us that he was the most well-mannered puppy that she had ever worked with. ***Tear*** That’s what every mommy wants to hear. That her child is well-mannered. *Sigh*
That’s a day in the life of a Cane-dog!
Typical.
