if i were in a bad mood, today could have really sucked because it was jam packed and i was pressed for time. but i was in a good mood, so i feel like i've been very productive - and rightfully so, i might add.
i got up early and had breafast with ian, then i went to work for six hours, then i came home and had a half hour nap and did homework from 5:30-9, in which time i answered six study questions, wrote an essay on Cluny Reform, read about fifteen pages in my text book, and read through this week's four online lectures.. then i made my own ceaser dressing and salad, and topped it off with blackened chicken strips which were very nummy and not super time consuming.. and then after dinner with ian i ran off to the gym for an hour.
i've extended the length and intensity of my workouts and i'm starting to get strict about my diet - so hopefully by the time school starts i will really notice a difference in my body.
in the mean time, my schedule is more regulated which makes me feel more sane and gets me in a better mood in general. i'm trying to force myself to go workout when i feel crappy instead of staying home to pout or fume. so far it is making the world a better place. i'm also trying to make myself get off my ass and go to the gym at least three times a week so i don't feel guilty or have to go twice in a row to play catch up.
i just hope i can make this a real routine before school starts so it's not so hard to continue when the homework starts piling up.
i'm making a real effort to change my habits and my general outlook so that next quarter doesn't bring me to the verge of insanity like spring did.
i hope it works and i think it will.
i'm shaking with exhaustion though, so it's probably time to take a hot shower and go to sleep.. i have to work at nine tomorrow morning.
