**.. sick day ..**

You all read about my headaches, if you didn't you can do so at the link, this weekend.  I went to bed last night around 130.  I worked until 1130 by the time I got home and showered it was 1230.  Then Jason and I watched Parenthood, a newer tv series that we are just in love with.  If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it.  Anyway by the time I got to bed it was about 130 and to be honest I don't think that I slept at all.  I was supposed to clean a house this morning and at 645 I was more than wide awake with a sore throat.  I called the lady and her husband answered I apologized but said that I would not be able to clean today.  I called my mom (she was at work) and she said to just sleep on the couch and rest.  (I love my mom).

I was supposed to meet my group for a meeting about our presentation but I haven't moved.  I skipped both of my classes and have watched tv all day.  I am exhausted right now and looking forward to sleeping tonight.  Most likely on the couch because apparently the bed isn't working for me.

I am really hoping that I get better soon.  I have a test on Friday and a paper due on Sunday.  I need to read for both.  I tried a little bit ago but can't stay focused at all.

**.. 31 days of blogging ..**

One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to blog more.  I have already blogged more in this first month than I did in last year entirely.

I began the year blogging about my grandma and how much I miss her.
We bought a huge tv!
This summer we took pictures for my parents 25th anniversary.
I tried to get people's opinions on social networking and how it affects their lives, but no one responded (woe is me).
I wrote about my crazy semester and all of the studying I have to do.
I let everyone know my feelings about animals and slaughterhouses (one of my better posts (I think)).
My dad had a birthday!
My dad and Jack made a curling rink on our pond and we 'curled'.
I attended a yoga training session this past weekend and it was an interesting experience.  

Feel free to go back and catch up on any of my better blog posts of the month :)

I love blogging, I wish I could get more readers and followers.  I'm not really sure why.  I blog for myself.  Sometime's it's nice to have people's opinions though.  I've been trying to read other people's blogs more too.  If you would like for me to read your blog please let me know, I always try to leave comments :)  

**.. studying ..**

This semester looks like it is going to be pretty tough.  I am not taking any upper level course because my advisor led me down the wrong road, but oh well.  I am taking two sociology classes because I am trying to make that my focus and perhaps a minor as well.  Then two classes on health, behavior and the environment.  I am really interested in health so those classes are okay.  Here's the thing they are all a ton of reading.  Once I get caught up, I am right back behind.  One of my classes has us reading 4 book and writing papers about them, what is that?  The rest are just chapter after chapter and posting comments online consantly to keep up with about 45 other students in 2 of my classes.  It's never ending!  I try not to complain too much becasue I am greatful that I get to go to school, even though I am convinced it is not my thing.

My stack of books minus the one I have to read on the computer.
