I'm the worst.
It's 6:34AM and I just finished vocabulary for my Accounting class. I also have a quiz and should really be studying for it. I should have gotten all this done last night, but no, procrastination ALWAYS gets the better of me. If I can do something else instead of homework or study, be sure I'm doing it.
I try so hard not to keep doing this to my self, I keep telling myself I need to get a head, that I need to do my homework the night BEFORE class, not the morning OF class. Without fail, come the morning of class, I'm sitting at my computer at 6AM doing homework.
I have gotten a little better, and I do get some homework finished well before it's due, but it just sucks! I'm really not sure which is worse, doing HW during the week when I could be relaxing or doing HW at 6AM when I could be sleeping. I do have to admit, the feeling after completeing all my homework early is the best feeling ever. I just wish I could remember that and use it to help motivate me to actually get it finished before the morning of class.
This upcoming weekend is going to be a hard weekend for me for HW. I have so much that I need to get done. The problem is that Mikey's parents are going away and since we have the house to our selves and other things planned for the weekend I'm not going to want to spend any time doing HW!
I should probably get back to studying for my quiz, if I don't fall a sleep first. I have to leave for class in 30 minutes, then have class from 8-3, then work from 5-1. I might die at work tonight.

Ridin'
I went dirt bike riding over the weekend! It was my first time ever and honestly I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be. I used a quad instead of an actual bike because I'm afraid of the bikes. I had a lot of fun and I didn't really mess up at all, I'm so proud of myself.
There were five of us that went and only two quads and one bike, so we had to take turns. Mikey and Matt went around a couple of times before it was my turn to try. I wanted Mikey to take me around on the back of the quad first so I know what it felt like to be on it moving, but we decided it might not have been a good idea since we couldn't fit both of our feet. I rode around in little circles first to get a feel for it and then Mikey took me around the trail for the first time.
I did pretty well and after a couple of times around I got a little bolder and started standing while riding and going a little faster. I even decided to go through puddles and boy did I get wet and muddy! It eventually got sunnier out and it proved to be an awesome day. During our last run, I asked Mikey to teach me how to do donuts. I wasn't very good and just couldn't get it, when I did get the back end of the quad to slide out like you're supposed to, it freaked me out. I think I need more practice before I do anymore of those!
My body was screaming the day after, I'm even still a little sore now! We'll be going again next weekend, at least this time it will only be Mikey, Matt and me, so there wont be any waiting to ride!

We are such a cute couple covered in mud!

Jake is so adorable!
I've been really busy this past week with homeowork and exams, but besides that I've had a pretty uneventful week. I got to see my Nephew Jake last night for the first time in probably three weeks now. He is getting so big! He's now 12 weeks old and such a cutie!
I believe I'm coming down with something, but it could just be my allergies. They get REALLY bad once it gets cold out. I laid in bed miserable for about two hours this morning before I decided I needed to get out of bed and get some errands done.
I ran to Dunkin' Donuts to get my Grandmother a $50 gift card for her birthday, (and a pumkin coffee for me :] ) then shot over to shoprite and picked up a couple different flowers to put toget a boquet for her. I think I did a good job, I hope she likes it!
Noms!
Daddy! (my brother)
What a cutie?!

We're taking her out to Olive Garden tonight for dinner, I'm sad we have to go to dinner so early because Mike wont be able to come with us.
My candle from last week came out great! I don't like the smell of it after it burns for a couple hours, but here is the final product:

Fuming!
I am literally so mad right now that my chest hurts.
He has no reason to be as much as a jerk as he just was. He probably doesn't even think he was being a jerk.
I JUST took a bath to relax, and now I'm all irritated. Damn him.
I guess I could read Storm of Swords.
JERK! I really shouldn't go over there tonight if he gets home at a decent hour, unfortunately I wont be mad at him anymore by then. I hate that about me.

Relaxing day off!
Today is my first day off during the week in a while that I don't really have anything to do. I am so relieved.
I wont up kind of late this morning, 9AM, and headed straight over to the dollar store to get some class containers. What for, you may ask? I've decided that I want to make my own candles! I found a bunch of fragrance oils that I liked as well and I was quite pleased. Afterwards, I headed over to A.C. Moore to get some basic candle making materials. I also bought three candles while I was there, they were having a sale three 18oz jars for $10, I couldn't resist.
(Please excuse the blurry in the middle, I'm still figuring out my 50mm Lens)
From left to right: Fireside Warmth, Banana Nut Bread, Wildberry Blast.
Truffle wanted her picture taken too!
I decided I would use the one package of Ocean Breeze Scented Wax Melts that I found in the dollar store to make my first candle. They were already a nice baby blue color so I didn't even need to color the candle myself. Let me tell you, it smells fantastic. I used the whole package, 1.234oz, but that is okay because I like strong smelling candles.
I'm currently waiting for the candle to dry enough so I can do a second pour. The last time I made a candle from left over wax, it sunk in the middle and I didn't have any extra wax to fill it in. It was a disaster! I only have a little wax left this time, so I hope it doesn't turn out the same way, it is starting to sink a little.
Here's what it looks like at the moment:
It really isn't anything special, but I am excited because it is my first candle from scratch! I have yet to decide what I am going to do with the rest of my day. I might make one more candle and use one of the fragrance oils I picked out.
Actually, maybe I'll clean up my room a bit, it's getting kind of a mess!

I don't want to grow up yet.
I've been thinking about the next year that is ahead of me and to be honest, it's starting to scare me a little.
Ideally, by this time next year I'll have graduated from college, moved out with my boyfriend and have a grown up job. I used to think about all that and be so excited, but now the more I think about it and the more I think about how I have to grow up, it makes me nervous.
Today is a new month and today I'm going to start to get my life on a better track. I want to be better prepared for for whats to come. I want to start to grow up even though I'm so afraid.
I'm going to start to get healthy and take care of my self more. I will no longer be the lazy bum I love so much to be.
