happy martin luther king jr day! :) it was nice to get to sleep in a little this morning since i was up way to late last night. This is my last off day where i can just be lazy for a long time so i am really taking advantage of it. i stayed up cleaning last night. for those of you who really know me, please know that i am ok and have not be possessed by an evil spirit. i just realized that i needed to clean clean. it is sorta annoying those because it was one of those cleaning to where if you go and look in my room right now, it doesn't exactly look like i did anything. oh but believe me i did! i dusted everything, rearranged a few pictures, got all of my stinkin' ear rings in one place (they were everywhere!!!!), straightened up my closet, and put away the rest of my christmas presents. i started doing this while i was watching the golden globes last night and then i just wanted to finish up what i could, so needless to say i stayed up a little late last night.

welp classes are getting ready to start back up and man is it going to be a semester for me! i will be holding down three jobs and taking at least three classes. i am still trying to decide if i am going to pick up a forth class. as of right now i am taking theology 2, old testament 2, and one christian education class. there problem is that i have to either take a forth class this semester or take a class over the summer in order to finish up next may. at first i didn't think i could swing a forth one financially this semester, but now i will be able to, but the factor now is time management! as of now i have to write 7 papers over the semester with an average of 300-400 pages of reading a week. this is completely manageable. the problem is that the other christian ed class that i would take requires us to right 6 papers (which brings my total up to 13!) and 4 of the 6 are book reviews which means reading four more books on top of the 300-400 pages of reading a week. umm so the overachiever in me really really wants to just do. just bite the bullet, put myself of a strict schedule and get it done. then the other part of me knows that sometimes (actually a lot of times) i don't tend to follow this strict self disciplined schedules and fall behind. well with this kind of work load, i cannot afford to ever get behind. so basically i'm not sure what i'm going to do and i only have till tomorrow to really figure it out, so we will see. if any of you have any advise i'd love to hear it! :) thanks

well i am going to go and get ready for my day and probably call my mom. i haven't been able to talk to her much in the two weeks since i have been back and i'm honestly not sure why. lol i usually talk to her at least 5 times a week and i don't know if i have even talked to her 5 times since i got back! oh well. again i hope everyone is enjoying their day off (if you are off) and remember to thank GOD today for what you have :)
