Getting a Jump Start on the Spring Semester

LAST DAY OF BREAK :-(  So sad.  Now I have to go back to being a real person with a ton of responsibilities (aka stress and anxiety).

Lunch: Crab cake salad!  (Spinach salad with tomatoes, red onions, tortilla crispies, fat free feta, a shrimp and crab cake by Philips, and honey mustard yogurt dressing)  Enjoyed with a side of roasted sweet potatoes. 



After lunch it was time to sweat!  

2 thumbs up for braving the cold and going to the gym!

crazy face!

ready to run!

Joe and I have matching crazy faces.  That's why we mesh so well. 

I wanted to push it a little further, butttt I was tired and lazy.  haha.  Why can't  running be effortless?
I followed up my mediocre run with 5 minutes on the stair master.  It was intense.  There is no way I could stay on there for more than 10 minutes.  I need to improve my stair master skills a little. 

Yay for Spring semester!  Not because classes start, but the new group fitness schedule comes out!  Spinning is my best friend and I wish they had spinning all day every day. I also enjoy the butts and gutts class (it really is intense, but worth it because you are sore for days after).  I may even try the new aqua fitness class?  Tons of possibilities!


After the gym, I was sweaty and gross, but I swung by the library to get a jump start on my classes.  I printed out as many notes as I could, and hold punched them with the library's monster of a 3 hole punch.  It seriously is the best thing ever and can punch a hole in like 50 pages effortlessly.  Can you tell I'm a nerd yet?  






There was basically no one in the library, and I was glad to avoid the rush that is inevitable there once the semester starts.  I didn't stay too long though because I know the library and I will be having a whollllee lot of quality time together really soon. 

Now I am off to get a jump start on some pharmacotherapeutics (say that 5x fast) and completely clean off and organize my desk.  I have been avoiding this project all of winter break, but it looks as if my time is up.  At least the start of the new semester is like turning over a new leaf!  I love fresh starts because there are unlimited possibilities!


Do you guys have a secret love for stationary supplies like me?

Not only do I fantasize about owning a monster hole puncher, but I'm the queen to post its, planners, binders, and dividers.  This all reminds me I've gotta get my binders from staples and organize for my 6 new classes!

  3. You're awesome, and that crab cake looks delicious. I actually have 2 hole punches, but they're not monster. All the ones at my school are un-monster, too. Seriously, there are notes taped on them telling you not to punch more than 3 pages at a time.

    AND right when I graduate they change the print cue (is that the right word?) to where it automatically selects double-sided printing. Jerks. I love double-sided printing.

  4. I wish we had double sided printing because it would cut my binder weights in half!!! I have sooo many pages and 2 inch binders are heavy when they're full. My school also makes us pay for prints after a certain amount which sucks.

    I have a non monster hole punch at home. It's horrible, and I always end up getting the lose punches all over the place. I think my punch has a leak.

  5. Um, definitely a freak about school supplies... I get giddy whenever it's time to get a new planner and I love to get different post-its, highlighters, pens, etc. for the new semester/quarter!
