No More Pencils, No More Books

No More Teacher's Dirty Looks

School's Out For The Summer

I've had that song ringing in my head all weekend. I'm so excited to have a 3 month break from school before hitting the books again. It's funny how stressed out I get myself over school, when I could have cared less in high school. Everything dealing with school came easy to me when I was younger. I never had to study and always did really well. Now-a-days if I don't study.. you might as well forget it. One thing I want to work on for next semester is to not be a cram studier.. it's such a bad habit. Evidently it's been working for me though. I checked all of my grades and I got an A in all of my classes this semester! Yay meeee!!! I'm so proud of myself! 

As we all know, yesterday was Mother's Day. I hope everyone had a fantastic day! Yesterday I spent the day with my family. My Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Sister, Brother-in-law, and I all went out to lunch to celebrate the day. After much deliberation, we decided to go to Pirate's Cove. (Delicious) It was quite the perfect afternoon for having lunch on the patio! After many laughs and great food we headed back home to figure out what the rest of the day would consist of.  We went through many ideas of what we could do, and Mom decides she wants to head to the zoo. So the 5 of us (Grandma went home) packed in the car and headed to the zoo. Beware of going to the zoo in the spring.. it's evidently mating season for many animals.. I'd check out the animals first before letting my kid see. Someone didn't take that advice yesterday and started yelling, "Maya go, get away" after realizing the animals were doing it. I couldn't tell you what kind of animals they were.. but man were they putting on a show for everyone... AWKWARD.

All in all yesterday was a great day.. now I will leave you with a picture from the zoo.. :)

We were letting out our inner wild sides.

Just Another Week

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! After having such a great weekend I'm ready to take this week on head on. Friday night was the usual kickball night, though we lost. Instead of going out afterwards, I decided to go snuggle up with the dog and watch some hockey. Trust me, Jonas was happy with my decision. Yes, I'm that loser that sits home on a Friday night and watches hockey! After realizing that Cox is showing NHL Center Ice for free til the 19th, I've done nothing but watch games. Might as well take advantage of it while I can right!? I hoping that I can get Center Ice as a birthday present this year. Either from myself or my parents. HINT HINT MOM AND DAD! :) 

Saturday we headed back down to Nags Head. Mom and I relaxed on the beach for a while. The weather was so incredibly nice down there! I even got in the water.. and it felt amazing. Saturday evening was the Norfolk Admirals season opener in Hartford. The team has a lot of new faces on it this year, so I decided to stream the game online! I'm liking what I'm seeing with the new team for sure! They ended up winning in a shootout! 

Sunday afternoon my family and me went to Chesapeake City Park for Bark in the Park! Though it was a bit too hot, we had a great time! Jonas rode is my mom's dog stroller the whole time since he isn't too fond of other dogs. :) After that was over, I went to watch the football game with a couple friends. Luckily the Eagles pulled out the win. 

This week is suppose to be pretty yucky, so I don't have much planned for this week other than school and homework. I'm pretty proud of myself, as I have A's in all 3 of my classes!  I do have an exam in accounting tonight so I definitely need to do a bit more studying for that here in a bit. I'm just ready for the weekend! Well I need to go do some actual work today and do some studying! I'll catch up with y'all later! 

I Made It!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!! I hope you all have a fantastic holiday weekend planned. I know I have lots of awesome stuff going on this weekend! Be sure to come back next week and see how the weekend's adventures go!

Well, I finally made it though my first week of classes at school! I forgot that college teachers don't waste any time with putting you to work. This semester I'm taking 4 classes. I have Accounting, Intro to Business, Math, and a College Skills class. Luckily, my college skills class is only an 8 week online course that doesn't start til mid October. My other three classes are all taken in a campus classroom. I have strategically scheduled my classes so that they don't interfere with the hockey schedule! :) Told you I'm obsessed with hockey. So now I've gone from going to work and having a life... to going to work then going to class... 4 days a week! Oh the joys!!!  After classes are out, I seriously just want to go home and relax and do nothing!

My intro to business class is once a week. My teacher is a huge Red Sox and Capitals fan. Can we say BOO! We won't be getting along come hockey season. Luckily, she's a really big sports fan also. She has worked our class/homework schedule around her sports as well. So far, the class is seeming pretty easy... but I guess only time will tell. The only problem I have with this class is we have to do a group project at the end of the semester. I would much rather do a business plan on my own than do it in a group. I'm dreading this assignment.

My accounting class is two nights a week. Boy, can we say A LOT OF WORK! The first week and there is already so much that we have to do. I'm really not getting everything right now, so let's hope that changes. Luckily my sister loves accounting... so hopefully she will help me out this weekend since she is coming in town. *Hint Hint Wink Wink Bethany* I think once I actually start to understand the basics, I'll do just fine.

Math is by far my favorite of the semester. We haven't started doing any work yet or anything, but my teacher is AMAZING! If you ever have to take a math class at the Chesapeake TCC campus, I would highly recommend taking classes from Carl Seward. The whole class was dying of laughter the entire time we were in class. Teachers that make things fun, make it easier to do well in the class. I'm definitely looking forward to going to his class each week.

Now it's off to do more homework so I won't have any to do this weekend! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!!!

At least we get comfortable chairs.

Studying at work.

...Until Next Time...
