Week 38: Skype with Alex :) (01.13.14 - 01.19.14)

On Monday I did my usual and went to classes, it's kind of fun to have Ricardo next to me, he's a funny guy. Armando is cool too, but he sometimes gets lost in the subject and starts Einsteining on me haha. I did a couple of errands throughout the day, I bought post stamps to deliver a letter to Alex, and I paid my study abroad deposit. I was supposed to Skype with Alex but she bailed on me... again *sigh, she could only Skype with me for a max of 10 minutes and I was not okay with that. 

On Tuesday I had my first physics lab, and it was totally what I did not expect. I expected something similar to my physic labs in high school but today was just solving a couple of problems individually. Maybe the future labs will be different but I kind of liked this style. I prefer physic labs to chemistry labs because we don't have to do reports! Woohoo!! I also had Fundamentals of Leadership today, and that is a fun class. It's long, yeah, but I like it because of the dynamics and the people. Since I'm surrounded by leaders those three hours I feel kind of more comfortable. At night I went to the gym and also to yoga class, yoga is pretty intense guys, don't let the welcoming the sun poses fool you. After yoga, I stopped for food  because I was starving and had a couple of pizzas and a sandwich (I feel bad about it but don't judge me). I also finally got to Skype with Alex, gosh I'd been waiting FOREVAH! I also skyped with Dorianne since she was there listening to us XD 

I sent a letter to Stitch, I hope he writes me back!

On Wednesday I dressed up lazily because it was going to be chilly outside, so I grabbed a pair of leggins, my Bruno Mars concert tee, my GAP hoodie and lazed on my boots. It was an OK day, I mean, I did nothing out of the extraordinary... 

On Thursday I had signed up to volunteer at Metro Min, but when the time came and I woke up I decided to not go. I went to Publix after lunch and bought tons of healthy stuff, and when I say tons it means like 4 or 5 haha. I also decided to go for a jog on the coldest day of the week, it was like 13 degrees outside but when you are running you can feel the wind in your face and it's horrible. 

On Friday I went to my Econ class and I finally wore my TMNT sweatshirt! It was cold, but it was worth it. After class I volunteered to help with the preparations for the SOS (Stampede of Service) but when I got there, there was nothing I could help with so I just left... how awkward. I went to Target afterwards because I'm planning on something to give Rod on Valentine's day, I came back and realized I forgot to buy a glue stick FML, so I stopped by the bookstore and instead bought some double-sided tape. Good I stopped at the bookstore because I found the perfect item to include in Patty's birthday box :) Then I spent the rest of the day making Rod's gift, it literally took me like three to four hours! That's how dedicated I am, don't ever forget it Rod. I also finally got my refund check back!

Week #37: Cheesecake Factory! (01.06.14 - 01.12.14)

Monday was the first day of classes and I had it totally packed. First I went to Engineering Economics and I was lucky Armando, Ricardo and Victoria were in the same class as me. I bought my very first burrito at Moe's and it was the yummiest, I'll definitely buy more! Next I had physics, I was kind of excited because I like the curriculum of the class and I've heard wonders of the professor. The professor is super awesome and he's very funny, the class felt kinda long though. I went to the bookstore to pick up my books and I also bought Kaitlyn a gift since her birthday is tomorrow, I got her mustache tattoos that you put in your finger! I had calc II at 7 pm and the professor is some old guy with kind of a Russian accent that speaks so low #fml, and the class felt endless! When I got back I was starving because I forgot to have dinner before going to calculus, and I ended the night with a cup of tea from Simply Organic. I'm trying to drink more tea and eat healthier, yesterday I went to Publix and bought a lot of fruit; I bought grapes, blueberries, mangoes, bananas, cuties, and milk.

Tuesday was freaking cold! The high was 8 degrees celsius and the low was 0, the weather channel said it felt like -3. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be but it was definitely cold. It's also my roommate's birthday and surprisingly she liked her gift. I went to my physics lab class and my leadership course. The leadership class was fun, we had a rock, paper, scissor competition and a bingo game (of people instead of numbers). At night me and my suite mates went to The Cheesecake Factory with a couple of Kaitlyn's friends because of her birthday! It was my first time eating there, and I rode with Ricki, Grace and Peyton. It was a fun-non-awkward ride and it was fun :) I had a burger and a Key Lime Cheesecake, on the way back we got lost and were headed the wrong way towards St. Petersburg because one road we had to take was close, anyways I laughed a lot and it was fun.

Wednesday was one of those days where it's just a struggle to get up, I mailed my USF transcript to my mom so she can submit my scholarship application and went to class. I find physics class interesting and funny but at the same time I get so sleepy, the class hour is just too long -.-'. I went to the gym after calculus and felt pretty great because I ran at a constant speed for half an hour.

I didn't have class on Thursday so I woke up to run a couple of errands. I tried to do the physics homework, which Courtney told me it wasn't mandatory so I left it halfway through; I got stuck it the middle to so I would have stopped either way. I also tried reading my leadership material but que va. Today was a pretty boring day, the only exciting part of my day was when I received my Forever 21 package and watched Catching Fire. I thought I would never see that movie but curiosity won me over.

My only Friday class was canceled so I decided to do all my errands, I intended to pay the study abroad deposit but the line was too long because today's the deadline to pay tuition so I decided to take care of that next week. I pumped some air into my bike's tires, they were super flat and I keep wondering why I didn't realize earlier on. I bought my physics lab manual at pro-copy and grocery shopped. I bought bananas, apples, tofu, lettuce, and milk; a pretty simple and healthy meal plan for this week. I napped, played Nintendo, watched YouTube, and time just seem to go slower each time. I had a tofu salad for dinner and ended the day doing absolutely nothing productive.
