Thanks for the accolades on my last journal. Getting 2 A's in one day w/ very little sleep (thinking I'd be lucky to get a C on my Abnormal Psych exam) was pretty amazing. Gave me a total euphoric high that kept me up till midnight. Got just under 5 hrs of sleep last night but felt refreshed & energized this morning.

I had an amazing therapy session this morning that had me in tears, but it was a good thing. I'll elaborate more tomorrow in my journal when I do my weigh-in/measurements. I will say that my therapist is proud & amazed. So even though nothing out right special happened today, today was an AMAZINGLY wonderful day! I hope I'll be able to fully convey it in words.

Had to walk home from campus today after spending all day studying in the library (on my day off). So I burned ALOT of cals walking 3.5mi in direct sunlight w/ the temp being in the low 90s & a backpack weighing around 18lbs. So I'm letting my intake for the day be almost 2500 cals but I'll still have at least a 1500 cal deficit (I'm sure my BMF will show even more when I check it again in the morning). YAY!! I had over a 2000 cal deficit so I decided a glass of wine & dark chocolate was in order. Btw, a glass of wine for me means 10oz. That's how much my sister's wine glasses hold, so I literally fill it to the brim = p I look at it as an improvement from drinking the entire bottle in a night (which I would if I wasn't watching my calorie intake).

So I'm off to my sister's now to watch The Yellow Handkerchief, drink wine & eat dark chocolate & get GREAT sleep for at least 7 hrs!! (I REALLY HOPE SO!!)

Hope everyone enjoyed Fri & is off to a great start for the weekend = D

I am completely AMAZED by the outcomes of today!!

I got an A- on my Abnormal Psych exam. We got to correct our booklets after we turned in our scantrons. I missed 6 but got the bonus question right, so I ended up w/ 45/50 - 90%!!! Yay!! Less than 3 hrs of sleep & 32oz of Red Bull later & it was TOTALLY worth it!! I also just finished taking my Social Psych exam online & I'm positive I scored in the A range as well. So sometimes getting no sleep & being super caffeinated DOES payoff!!

I'm not even in crash mode yet! I'm still pretty awake & energized (I think it's the euphoric feeling of doing as well as I did on my exams).

I was going to forgo dinner due to my poorer choices throughout the day (granted I'm still at my RDI), but I have about a 1300 calorie deficit right now per BMF, so I'm going to fix myself something & watch The Brothers Bloom before passing out of the night. Watching Adrian Brody before passing out is a fine way to enter into the dream state = p

So tomorrow starts my weekend & I'm not even going to think about all the crap I have to do. School is never ending sometimes. Never a break, always an exam/paper/assignment that must be done. So for now I will enjoy this brief moment of freedom & have a wonderful night.

Hope everyone else is having a good end to the week. Tomorrow is Friday!! = D

I'm hoping the assignment I'm about to start takes less than an hour to complete. I hate having to put effort into something that isn't worth much point-wise. If it doesn't take too long, then I should get a decent night's sleep. Definitely need it b/c if anything, I'm useless in Abnormal Psych when I can't think & we have our first test tomorrow evening. I guess we'll see. Not that being done tomorrow after that test is much relief. I'll be spending my birthday weekend studying for another test, filling my social theory binder w/ notes & writings I should've kept on top of, and start reading 2 books for another class. It's about now I wish I could bail on the semester. Really not having much appreciation for school right now. Oh well. Just need to allow myself to accept the mindset that if I were to get Cs all across the board that it's still passing & in the end doesn't make me any worse or better off. That's a tough pill to swallow for a perfectionist that has struggled w/ "all or nothing" issues. Just gonna keep plugging away . . .

I pretty much went into this week knowing that there wasn't going to be much moving around. I think I'm averaging around 4,000 steps daily, but I don't think I've broken 5,000 steps yet this week. That pretty much sucks for me. But there's been far to much going on w/ school that's kept me at a desk for hours on end.

Have an appointment w/ my therapist on Fri & I intend to workout then & stay on campus all day to get studying done. I always find things that I want to discuss w/ my therapist throughout the week & I keep telling myself to write them down. By the time I actual go in I can't remember 99% of the things I was thinking of but it not as though something doesn't surface to discuss in the end. Considering my anxiety seems to be leaping up the charts lately, I think that'll be the hot topic of discussion on Fri.

Alright, time to get on this damn assignment about taxes & policies in CA (I would so rather write a paper on possible explanations for unconformities found in the Salt Spring Hills!).

28 September 2010

Why is it that the 3 days that I have classes has to be like the LONGEST 3 days of the week??? I have 4 days off in a row & they fly by, but not Tues, Wed & Thurs. No, not even close.

Should've gotten close to 6 hrs of sleep last night. Nope! Why on earth would that be a possibility. B/c my body just isn't use to actually getting sleep on my school nights, that I woke up 1.5 hrs early in a slight panic that my alarm hadn't gone off. Sadly, I never fully fell back to sleep after that. So just barely over 4 hrs of sleep (again) and I'm dying. I have a feeling I'm going to end up buying an additional Red Bull b/c I'm about to open the one I have w/ me which I don't usually drink until around 5pm to get me through my last class.

It's funny the feeling tiredness causes. I've eaten adequately but b/c I'm so tired my body is telling my brain I need fuel. Lol, so I have that conflict of food or caffeine playing in the background static in my head. Granted it is my usual lunchtime right now & I will be eating soon, it's been like this since 8am. Once upon a time (before '06) I would feed myself & then end up passing out from a massive sugar spike from "bad" carbs. But once I became acquainted w/ caffeine, I added that to the food mix. Once I got it fined tuned, I would forego food & just drink caffeine. Crazy madness I tell you. At least I finally figured it out. Caffeine & food can work together when you're not eating empty carbs that are destined to put you in a coma = p

Alright, that ate up some time so that I could stay awake. Off to lunch. Hope everyone is well today = )
