How much work is to much work?!

School is kicking my butt! It seems like all professors gather around and decide to make projects, assignments and papers all due one right after the other. first theres a diversity paper that 5-6 pages long, then 2 days later my Practice 2 Video project is due. the following friday I have a paper due on my bloody life, then 2 projects, one on disabilities and the other on gay and lesbian adoptions is due the following week. Its not that they are hard assignments, they are fairly easy but time consuming. It also doesn't help that I am a bit of a procrastinator :( So in reality I guess it is slightly my fault. But Im not going to admit that just yet.
Another issue with school is class discussions, i absolutely hate those.  The teacher is always telling me i dont speak up enough, and i dont really but i prefer sitting and listening to everyone elses opinions than voicing my own. It doesnt mean i dont pay attention it just means i dont like speaking. And the reason is when I finally do speak my opinion about something I get attaked, not physically but verbally. Apparently If you dont agree with everyone else and have something different to say, people dont like that. I mean its a social work proffesion for goodness sakes everyone should have realized by now that its okay to have your own opinion. Oh well I guess i will go back to just listening from now on, so i dont feel like so much of an idiot. Its just a few more weeks left, then a few more semesters and i will finally have my BSW in Social work. I can not wait to be done with school

Weddding Planning..

So the wedding planning continues. As I've said before its a lot of hard work. I think Ive spent the last hour Looking at random sites such as Pinterest, TheKnot.com, and just using google in general to find things and trying to come up with ideas. So Far I've been successful with finding my dress and Bridesmaids dresses, picking the colors which are Wine (a burgundy/maroonish color) and a light pink. I've chosen the theme and the venue. Then there is the florist that is going to do my flowers which Ive chosen Roses and Calla Lillie's. I also have My photographer- Ella Lu Photography and the DJ and a wedding coordinator. The one thing I haven't chosen is the Bakery and the kind of cake.
 
As most guys do, Adam says he doesn't care what the cake is, but it has to be good. That really doesn't help me at all because my 2 rules are it has to be amazing and at least one layer has to be chocolate. I'm a sucker for anything chocolate. After looking at different flavors of cakes the different kinds of chocolate cakes are endless. I guess my main issue of choosing a bakery is because i don't know anyone. My flowers are being done by my aunt and cousin, The photographer is my soon to be Sister in Law and the DJ is a good friend from College and the wedding coordinator is a friend from High School. I don't Know anyone who bakes cakes therefore I am keeping my options open, so that i can possibly find the perfect place to make the perfect cake that everyone will LOVE!

Another thing that i am having problems with are the decorations. For the most part the venue does a lot of it and we just need the little stuff to go along with the theme. I keep seeing a lot of things that I like but cant figure out how to make it work with the theme so everything ties in together. I guess that's where the wedding coordinator comes in. Hopefully she is okay giving advice on what looks good!
Well i guess its time to get back to more searching so i can make this the Perfect wedding for Adam and I!

Now I Remember...

Why I don't drink like i used to. Back in the day, and by this i mean 3 or 4 years ago, I could stay up half the night with friends drinking and be able to get up the next morning and head to work. Not that I'm proud of this but it is what it is. Now at the old age of 23 I can have just a few drinks and then the next morning i cant even move. Last night I had a few friends from out of town over and we stayed up pretty late playing drinking games like we used to do. At noon today I had to make myself roll out of bed.
I have to say I do not miss drinking one bit and probably wont drink more than a glass of something for a very long while. I do have to say I find it funny that in most cases people drink and party a lot before the age of 21, they go crazy and do things they probably shouldn't but do it anyways because they are on their own. Then when they turn 21 they don't drink as much and by the time they are 23 they barely ever drink anymore. At least with my friends, my Fiance and myself I have noticed this has happened. I guess everyone has to grow up at sometime! School, Work, Family and friends become more important than partying and being drunk. To bad its not something we all realized at 18 and 19.

Spring Break 2012

My 2012 Spring break week has been fill with the exact same things i do every week. Lying on the couch, watching tv, working on a little homework and going to work... Finally four days in I decided to change it up a bit and went to the beach. Ashley and I spent our entire day tanning in the nice breezy weather. However half way through our visit we realized we weren't laying with the sun, and it was to late to do anything about it and i was burnt. Not all over just on one side the rest of my body is still ghostly white. Non the less the day was still a fun day on the beach and probably my only spring break adventure! Today I was back at work and tomorrow I'll be doing the same.

I do take back the statement about my week being filled with the exact same things it is every week. Its not every week i get to go Wedding dress shopping! Out of only a few dresses that i tried on I found THE ONE!! I think my bridesmaids tried on more dresses than i did till we found one that i liked and all 3 of them liked as well.
So i guess it wasn't a waste of a spring break!

My week was filled of :
Dress shopping!

 Tanning at the Beach!
 Cleaning
 And being lazy and watching TV!

Trying to stay sane while still being bored...

So im new at this at might possibly be bad at it, but im giving it a try. So here it goes!

Today has been a super long day, it's 6:30 and i feel like i should be getting ready for bed. It's spring break this week and I feel like i should be out doing something exciting, instead I'm sitting at home alone, well almost alone, I'm here with Charlie and Luna. Ive also done a little bit of wedding planning which is pretty exciting, except for the fact that I am pretty indecisive and cant make decisions on anything. I have a fiance who is in army and is away in training at the moment so his input is minimal. non the less things are coming along pretty well! But for now its time to get back to the only two who are keeping me some what company while Adam is away!
