Today was one of those "I don't want to get out of bed, it's too dreary and dark, and I just don't feel well" kinda days. I got out of bed just because I had to take Zoey to the vet. My poor baby has an ear infection but other than that is just great. Other than that the day was not too exciting. Homework and class while not feeling well kinda leads back to the whole I'd rather be in bed thing.
High point of my day though was talking to my bestie. Always the high point and always can make me smile (no matter how stubborn I may be some days).
As for now, still feeling kinda crappy. Now the lungs are hurting yet again....maybe an upper respiratory infection? Who knows lol. I'm waiting for the NyQuil to kick in so I can actually sleep. Hopefully that will be soon!
I'll update my other blog tomorrow because right now, I don't think I have the brain power to write anything halfway decent about anyone else's work. I've already got the song picked out though that I'm going to write about. It came on the radio tonight when I was driving home from class and made me smile. Gotta love those random, fun loving songs.
Gonna try to catch some zzzz's (cross your fingers!) but I'll write more tomorrow when I'm trying to rest up and get well.
Night! KG

Been a few...
I've really got to get better about writing here...I think part of the excitement of writing when I was home was that I actually had things to write about. Nothing really exciting has happened this week.
I started a new semester of classes which I think will be really helpful in the future. Organizational business consulting and workplace conflict for now with assessment and interviewing starting in about a week or so...time can fly in these classes, but at the same point, 4 hours is such a long time to be sitting in one class. With that being said, 4 hours seems super short when you have to be in one classroom for 8 hours. I guess it's all about perspective.
Let's see...I've also caught up on some television I missed when I was home. Private Practice, How I Met Your Mother, old episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians of course! I can't help but love these shows. I know some think tv watching is a waste of time, but I see it as maintaining (who am I kidding here) rather giving me some semblance of sanity. I may be spending some time doing nothing, but after going through undergrad doing too much, it's nice to kind of take a step back, even if some people do see me as being "lazy". I know I could be reading too much into what people say, but if you tell someone you are looking forward to doing nothing all day like them, I dunno, I find that a little insulting. (and before you even think it, this was not done by anyone who will read this blog) Enough of a rant...
I really enjoyed my healthy whole foods version of a lunchable that I had for dinner tonight. It was actually the perfect amount of food and it was yummy. Chicken salad, crackers, grapes, and cheese is actually a pretty good dinner.
Okay, so I know this post has been extremely random, and I'm not even sure if it all makes sense, but I blame being tired and not feeling well! I'll do better tomorrow, and I will write tomorrow, that's a promise!

Monday, Tuesday Fun
Yesterday was a fun day with my mom...shopping, driving (lots of driving!), looking at houses, more shopping, dinner at on the border and hanging out with Tammy and Nicole. Speaking of shopping, I was reminded after my previous post that I didn't actually make it through the trip to Howell without buying anything - I bought some lotion and such from Bath and Body Works (I think that's it!)...
Today was spent getting my hair cut and colored, hanging at the mall with Clara and more time hanging out with Katy! Definitely a great way to spend the day....I already feel like this week is flying by, and I just wish I could make time stop. Fitting a couple months into a week is tough, and I never anticipated it would be like this. To be honest, I didn't really think that people would miss me, but it means the world to me that they do. It makes me want to stay home even more, but hopefully now that an end of my time down south is in sight, it will make things easier. I'm also hoping that this realization that I won't be there forever will help with my insomnia, because to be honest, that whole deal is really getting old! Speaking of that, I think I'm going to attempt to get some sleep tonight because I'm actually feeling tired...
More later!

Sunday at home
I think I was too excited to sleep last night. I know I've been so excited to come home, so for the last week I haven't made it through a full night without waking up, and now that I'm finally here, I feel like I don't want to waste time sleeping! I know that sounds funny, but it's the truth.
So today began with me unable to sleep, so late night/early morning blogging, followed by sporadic sleep. When we were finally up and about, it was time for some outlet mall shopping (I made it through without buying anything! - A first for me I think!), followed by some quality tractor supply store time and a delicious pizza lunch with Katy's parents. I can't say that I've ever had taco pizza before, but it was great! I think that in the future, Doritos on a pizza could definitely be called for.
After lunch, we drove down to Toledo for...more shopping! We were trying to kill time before our movie, so we wandered around the mall and tried hard to avoid spending more money. Once again we succeeded! (The same won't be said tomorrow though, I can guarantee)
We saw Footloose which was amazing. I can only say that I wish I could move like Julianne Hough lol. There was great music as well as amazing acting. I can't wait to see it again. I will say that I cried, but I was luckily able to keep it under control. I highly recommend this movie!
Dinner at Olive Garden with Katy and my Dad was a nice way to round out our Sunday. Soup and salad gave the cozy feel on this brisk day, and I think after this long night and some writing, I will hopefully be able to sleep tonight!
Yesterday and today were disappointing days for Michigan sports, but there's nowhere else I'd rather be. There is nothing like walking into the local stores and seeing University of Michigan, Tigers, Lions and Red Wings apparel. It just feels like home. I wouldn't change anything about being able to come here for a week or a weekend, whatever the time may be. It's worth it to be able to spend a bit of time with the people who mean so much to me.
Time for some rest, more tomorrow...

Home sweet home
I've been home for less than 24 hours and already I feel better. There's nothing quite like the windy, cold, Michigan weather to welcome you home. Honestly, I thought there was no chance in hell I'd miss the weather. I always knew I would miss the people, but the weather? No freaking way. But, when it's October and still 80-90 degrees in Dallas, you tend to miss the cooler weather. I'm sorry, but fall and 90 doesn't really work day in and day out. I want to see the leaves change color, I want to go to the cider mill, these are the little things I used to take for granted that I now desperately look forward to on my return trips home.
I think this is what I've really learned...The grass is always greener on the other side, but on the other hand, sometimes it takes being away and out of your element to really and truly realize that you were exactly where you needed to be. Ann Arbor is and will always be home, and I can't wait to come back. I may not know exactly what I will doing when I get back here, but I do know that I will figure it out and I know that being home will make me happier. I miss my support team. Sometimes you need a good swift kick in the ass to make you get out of bed and stop moping around. I need that a lot more lately...
I know I'm going to try to be better about writing. I'm going to write here, and I'm going to start a new blog, a more evaluative piece about country music. Katy is right...I love country music, and I love writing, so why not combine the two? Who knows, it could turn into something...I'm looking forward to starting that! Well, I'm going to try to set up that other blog now so I can get going, but more here later!

This is a test
This is just a test to see what date this posts on! I love big ban theory with my bestie!

Oy.
It's been a long day. Emotionally draining, but at least I know there will be a positive outcome...eventually!
Studying always takes a lot out of me but it's more the decision making that I know is ahead that I'm stressing out about. thankfully for me though I have someone to talk to about my life and the many decisions to make. I don't know what id do without Katy and hope I never have to find out! It's nice to know there is someone willing to point out the flaws to my plans and give me new and better ideas. I'm actually looking forward to the future...even if I'm not sure where it will lead.
Updates to come when I know what I'm doing!

Last group meeting
I never really thought I'd be sad to see a weekly group meeting be over with but I am. Thursday classes are definitely more fun when you are full on Potbellys and have gotten a chance to complain about class. At least the classwork is over...just resume editing to go!
I am so glad it's almost time to go home again. It's true "you don't know what you got til it's gone". All I can say is I'm glad gone isn't permanent and that I can still go home as often as possible. It's nice to plan a lot of activities to do with my bestie and my family to look forward to, even though just hanging out with everyone would have been enough.
Two days in a row...not too shabby! Lets see how long I can keep this up!

Finals
So I'm hoping that with a blog app on my phone I'm going to be much better about keeping up with my blog.
I can't believe it's coming to the last week of class and I'm basically done with 1/2 classes just have to go and sit there. I'm glad to have my big paper done and can't wait to be home again next weekend.
I like the program down here but I miss home so much. Every time I leave it seems to get harder and harder but I wouldn't change my times back there for anything. It's what gets me through the times here...
