what to keep, what to toss?

ok. i cant help but consider this in terms of “getting things done” — however, it has been like a year since i [listened] to that.. and i cant be sure that i completed it :/ ? heh.

but im cleaning today, and as im going through my things… one particular area that i tend to avoid because it is a “project” of mine. just one that i havent worked on. almost at all. horrible, i know right? — but the thing is that i have like…. e v e r y booklet, note, journal, workbook.. that you could possibly think of [from church] since i was…. 16 or so. i have another blog, see… the idea.. or “project” that i had and wanted and still do, to a degree. is/was/has been to organize all of those lessons and notes that ive jotted down through the years into a blog format. simply for personal use. but its never really happened quite like i imagine that the ideal way would.

so, im sure that somewhere in “getting things done” he says something along the lines of to pick your battles. i feel torn to throw them out because i think… alll of that valuable information!!!!(that i havent reviewed since at most a week after having received it) —- whats more, is that upon running across this stuff today and considering the option of just tossing it, the thought also crossed my mind that i have all of my notes from my favorite classes too!!! haha — is that crazyyy??? lol, yep, i have all of my notes from calculus and chemistry. ALLLLL of my notes from alll of my years of french. because i think to myself… “maybe one day ill need them”
*sigh* maybe it is crazy. is this what you call a packrat? i just dont think i can bring myself to toss it all just yet. my room isnt a mess though, dont get me wrong… it is all nicely organized on my bookshelf – but i dont know what the point is in me keeping it.

random. k im done.. bai ;)

oh happy day.

im going to tell you a relatively long story to get to the somewhat short point of it, ok? lets go. :)
exactly one month ago i visited the advisor to set down my schedule – i had already picked out my classes, but MY BAD – i forgot to write down the class number,.. i only wrote down the class name and time. he made my schedule out none-the-less and i waited until it was time to register which was about a week ago. there was some controversy on whether i was able to register, whether or not i was going to be able to go to school at all this semester – that was concluded with the result of YES, go ahead and register. so i did. while registering, i remembered that i was told to check into whether or not i could audit my spanish class instead of actually “taking” it, since i already have a credit for it and am only reviewing the course again for learning’s sake. so, in talking to student services, i was told that while i had the option to audit the class, it would cost the same either way. the difference is that if i pay to take the class(not pay to audit) i can receive a better grade – my first semester i only scored a C in the class which essentially brings my GPA down. so i called the registering line again to add my spanish class and review my schedule and *GASP* realized that 2 of my classes were for mon&wed!

so maybe i forgot to mention to the advisor that they were all supposed to be on tues&thurs.. but having 2 classes on one day and 1 on another, just doesnt make much sense to me,…. but hey. thats just me. so whatev. back to Web Advisor to locate a new schedule, now that registering has been open for an entire week.

what would have been a
Psy 150 [8 00a - 9 15a]
Spa 111 [9 30a - 10 45a]
Eng 112 [11 00a - 12 18p]

is now a
Spa 111 [8 00a - 9 15a]
with this awkward gap of time in the middle :/
Eng 112 [11 00a - 12 18p]

oh well. the good part about this is that my Eng 112 has the same teacher that i had for my Eng 111 class (i did that on purpose) because he is probably one of the best teachers ive ever had, and i am SO looking forward to having him for another semester. another good part is that, honestly? i was feeling a bit overwhelmed by those 3 classes since they are all pretty involved classes, psychology has a lot of information, english is argument based research so i mean, cmon. that is going to be a LOT of information, im sure(if i get the chance in that class, im going to be doing a paper on shaken-baby-syndrome), and spanish is pretty much a big deal just because i want it to be. im going to dive into that information so far i might just forget english :) just kidding. SO, now that its only the two classes, i feel much better about being able to divide my attention a little more gracefully AS WELL AS slowly getting back into the jist of things, which is what this entire semester was supposed to be about, since last time i oh-so-ungracefully dove into school and almost broke my neck.

allllright. the other thing i was wanting to tell you is that YIKES! ^_^ i found out some information yesterday, that is very exciting. like more than i think you may be able to understand. it may not be complete until at least 7 months, but definitely before a year. annnd, it means that i could work at a BANK! if i wanted. =) see? i told you, you probably wouldnt understand the relevance of it. but its super huge, i assure you.

and i think thats everything? still looking for a job. and all o that jazz. tyy is learning to spell, and stuff. oh oh, also in exciting news: this is the first week that i have successfully been on a healthy sleeping schedule and im tellin ya, it feels GREAT to wake up at 5 am and not be tired. so yea.. k, buh bye.

lets update :)

alright, so i just wanted to throw a few things out there;; im currently filling out apps and it gets SOOOO redundant, so im taking a constructive break.

book reading??? if youve noticed the link in the sidebar, it is much out-of-date! there are a few over there that i have certainly not forgotten, even as they may have been put on a waiting list. wait a minute! “Fight Like a Girl” is the only one i have listed in Book Reading, but i assure you, my waiting list of ‘books-to-read’ is much longer than just one. i finished “Captivating” via audio and i loved it, going to re-listen… one of these days. i have a long list of ‘just for entertainment’ bits that i’d like to read as well as ‘because they hold valuable information’ type of books. this summer, however, i have read Tuesdays With Morrie (suddenly it seems as though i have forgotten how to properly identify a book in writing… quotations, underlining, italics ???? im at a loss. oh ninth grade, how long ago you were.) and am currently in the middle of Einstein in Love and The Verb ‘to Bird’ both of which i am enjoying sticking my nose into each and every moment that i get the chance.

for anyone who knows me, you may know that i am a complete nerd when it comes to learning, and etc (which is one reason that i love school so much) and so i would like to attribute a positive note to this recent being out of a job business. at first i went through some slightly morbid unmotivational issues, but now that thats gone and past – i have been diving into the world of job-searching like never before. – which is funny since this is what i used to do… for a job. i have learned so much about resumes and cover letters and applications, oh my. yes, it has been quite the excitement in my house over the past few weeks. — i have also learned a great deal about a budget and how to keep one! :) so thats pretty exciting, its a good thing… to be prepared and well-learned especially about things as important as money. my ‘budget’ used to consist of scratching down my bills each month onto a post-it! lol

my books will have to be put on hold over the course of the next month though, it seems. because i am wanting to read my psychology book before beginning the class. it is at 8am and… im still getting used to the idea of early mornings… im going to have to be awake, and attentive and learning?!? at 8am. i havent done that since highschool, and i suppose if i have already read the curriculum… it may help. so thats my plan — oh, oh! also – on a side note. i hate television. or television programs, whether it is on your television or computer that you watch them… same diff. it occured to me yesterday as i was thinking about how much i hate the amount of time i waste(its such a disgusting word, dont you think?) on pointless things such as television-watching that… when i was 18, at the point of moving out of my mothers – i didnt watch tv. like, no.. seriously. not at all –it just wasnt something that i did – the concept of having something on TV that you weekly contributed your time and attention to was foreign to me. i wish it were still that way, id like to say that i am cutting all tv programs out of my entertainment diet,… although i dont think that would go over very successfully.. so maybe id like to then say that i would cut it back to a certain number of programs, but i still contemplate what is too much what is acceptable – and i think, it must be ridiculous even to contemplate such things?! ehh, none the less.
