I'm running out of time...

I wish that there were more hours in the day, I'm sure much like the rest of the world does. Currently it's 10:38PM and I'm laying in my bed, means I'm posting from my phone since I get no wifi in here.
I have a quiz in the morning on seven chapter, seven, are you kidding me?! The final is in two weeks from tomorrow, why must we have a quiz on seven of the nine chapters that are on the final? In any case, I've only read one chapter. I had plans to read all seven tonight, but it took over an hour to get the first chapter read. Needless to say, I do NOT want to be up all night reading.
I am proud of myself that I spend eight hours today doing homework. Straight homework, no procrastination. I admit it shouldn't have taken five hours to come up with a eight minute presentation, but at least it's finished. I'm so drained though, all I want to so tonight is relax, which is why I'm most likely not going to read anymore tonight.
I have a really busy weekend a head of me, I need this time even if it means not getting a B or higher on my quiz. I have to finish my business plan, read a 200 page book and do a 6-8 page book report, I have accounting hw and most likely finance homework, all due on Monday. Not to mention, I have school and work as well.
I should probably get to sleep if I'm going to try and speed read through six chapters in the morning before class

College

The end of the semester is aproaching rather quickly and of course I'm behind of all of my school work. For instance I'm sitting at my kitchen table and class started five minutes ago.I really need to step it up, or I'm probably going to fail the end of the semester. I don't know why I'm slacking so much this semester. I'm usually bad, but never this bad. Atleast I have been getting all my work done, but as Mike told me last night I'm leaving less and less time for myself to get it done.

I'm registered for next semester, College is close to being completed! With being registered, my graduation application submitted and getting emails about senior portraits, shit is getting real.

I'm giving myself the night off, my LAST night off until the end of the semester, I PROMISE! I can't afford to be spending all my free time just being lazy anymore. I have to many projects and exams to be able to do that. I plan on finishing Storm of Swords tonight, I only have 3 chapters left!

I'm going to make Mikey take my kindle after I finish. If I have it in my possestion I'm going to download A Feast for Crows and never get any work finished! I can not get over how GOOD Storm os Swords is! I can't wait to finish it, I need to know what happens! I'll be sad when I am finished with this series.

Since Christmas is a month away, I really need to start thinking about what I am going to get my friends and family for presents. So far, all I know is what I'm getting Mike and what I'm getting my mom. I also am making wine glasses and candles for my aunts. I have to find time for all of this! Not to mention the money, I'm so broke right now. Maybe tonight I will write out a list of who I'm getting what and when I'm going to have time to do it! Organization!

OH, before I forget! I wanted to show you the first snowfall of the season! (November 7th)
8PM, my lens makes it look like the afternoon.
Flood Light shining on the tree.
My dads fountain.
The swing looks pretty.
Finally, yummy cookies while it was snowing!

Hurricane Sandy

It's been a while since I've been able to post. I was quite busy two weeks ago with school and midterms, so I didn't have time to post.
Last weekend Hurricane Sandy hit NJ and basically destroyed have the state. About 85% of the state was without power, I lost power for just about six days. Thankfully I got gas before the storm because it's near impossible to get gas now unless you want to wait in line for three hours. Starting today they are rationing gas by even/odd plate numbers.
Mike's gas fireplace!
Trying to keep Louie warm, no power = no heat lamps!

Down the shore is a mess, everything is destroyed. Beaches and boardwalks are GONE, I heard over 90 miles of gas lines need to be replaced, boats and houses floated away, it's horrible. I am so fortunate that all I lost was power. My parents have a generator at home, but Mike's house has been completely dark until this morning, we need to clean out the fridge today, it's nauseating.
I've spent most of my week playing board games and reading A Storm of Swords, unfortunately I have to return to school next week. Which means I have to get all my homework done that I should have been doing whilst the power was out and I had plenty of time to get it done. That's me though, the procrastination princess. I'll get it done tomorrow. Today I'm spending the whole day playing the Sims 3 while Mike plays his new video game. Oh technology, how you have been missed.
Bananagrams with my parents!
