Baby You Were Born This Way!

So.

Let's start this day out BaCkWaRdS...

• I am currently sitting at Sara Barber's apartment watching her drink wine, a little too comical----> "Am I red because I'm burnt, or because I'm drunk?" :)
• We ate some El Tap for supper, which I shouldn't have done, but I did :( Though I very skillfully ordered 'No SourCream' with my meal. Vegans Unite!
• I attended all 3 of my classes today. bleh.
• I ran 1.5 miles today, and it sucked! I'm thinking of investing in a sports bra that DOESN'T allow your boobs to bounce while running! I just hate that :/
• I worked a little bit on homework, and when I say a little bit, I mean a little bit.

And that's about the extent of my day. I thought I should blog since I haven't in a day? I think?

*I have a Statistics Test Thursday, which sucks majorly. I'll be studying for that hardcore starting..oh tomorrow!

*I need to go to the grocery and buy some (cheap) vegan goodies so I can continue on my health kick.

--And I've decided today, that I'm not going to tip-toe around peoples' feelings any longer. I know several people who wouldn't hesitate a second to throw their beliefs up in my face, because they do it all the time. So with that being said, I'm going to say how I feel and you can just sit there with your mouth open all day long for all I care.

:)

First off, Lady Gaga's new song 'Born This Way' sends out a very inspirational message, and it doesn't have to be directed just at the LBGT community, even though that's what people take it as. Personally, I don't care if you're gay, that's your thing and it doesn't concern me whatsoever. If it hurt me physically, then we might have a problem, but it doesn't. So go on with your bad self and be happy! You only live life once.

****Plus Lady Gaga has raised a quarter of a million dollars already for Japan by selling 'We Pray for Japan' bracelets. Go you!****

Enough ranting for one day.

Stay Pretty,

Back to the Drawing Board...

Well.

Spring Break is officially over. bleh.  I should have done way more homework than what got accomplished. Now, Sunday night, I'll be sitting up all night finishing what is due tomorrow. Then I have a big Test Thursday in Statistics. Aren't teachers just so nice?

Sorry if I don't seem enthused about blogging. I'm in somewhat of a grumpy mood. Like don't look at me or talk to me kinda mood.

I'm somewhat frustrated with the Nursing Home. I went back up there and turned in my application and everything and they won't hire me (if they're going to ) until I can find out about a CNT class from Hartsville Tech, because I have to be certified within 4 months of being hired. I'm on the waiting list for a CNT class but I won't be able to start until I'm out of College for the summer and well it's just darn frustrating!

It seems like everyone who is a Nursing Major has a job in a hospital, Dr's office, or hospital except for Sarah Carter and it just pisses me off. I do everything (Waitress, Dispatch, Lifeguard) unrelated to my major! Sorry, just a little pissed off.

Well there's nothing I can do just yet. Bills have to be paid so that means jobs I don't want to do have to be done.

Taking my bad mood and heading back to school.

Stay Pretty,
Sarah

Veganist: Day 1

Day 1 equals a success! I got a late start to the day so I had to skip breakfast. But I had a banana for snack. Then for lunch I had nachos( no cheese or meat) with beans, chips, and salsa :) and for supper I'll be having Subway, a Veggie sandwich with no cheese and no sauce. You all make think this is bland, but I am very proud of myself!

I had a person ask why I did this? I love animals, but my heart isn't in it just for that. I like to challenge myself with new things and this just so happens to be one of them :) I was Vegetarian for 3 years, and that all came about just by seeing if I could do it. And I did! It's will power, I tell everyone, and anyone can do it if they make their mind up to.

So I saw these shoes the other day, and I must have them! I think if I get hired on at the Nursing home, that I'm going to buy them to wear at work :)

They just look so comfortable and cute and I must have them :)

So has Spring Break went by uber fast or what? I'm kinda upset about that. Although I haven't really done anything of any significance, I've enjoyed the time off and relaxation I've established. But we're over half way done, so let's all get All A's and have a great summer :)

I talked to Cheyenne Austin today, who goes to Cumberland, about taking Anatomy II there (if I get into their Nursing Program) and she said it was easy, that you just have to study. So I think I'm just going to wait and take it there instead of trying to squeeze it in this summer with 2 jobs. Because let's face it, if I get into Cumberland, I'll need every penny I got just so I won't have to take out so much in loans!

Well. I guess I shall get off here and work on some homework, while I wait for Kaleb to come along with supper and we can watch Jersey Shore :)

Stay Pretty,

I AM going to do this!

Hello blog world,

So, I know you are just going to blow and roll your eyes when I say this..but I'm going to say it anyways and it's going to happen! :

I AM going to go Vegan!

Now a friend of mine sent me a diagram where it pretty much pokes the theory of being a "true" Vegan in the ass. And I quite agree with it, I would literally have to spend all my life savings, income, and what ever else money I could scrounge up just to be truly vegan, which means I would NOT consume or wear any animal products, use them etc.

You would basically have to be a movie star to accomplish this, and well I just don't have the money for that..so when I say Vegan, I mean not eating any animal products. And then if I become rich someday, then we'll see about a true Vegan.

I bought 2 books today dealing with "Veganism" and I plan to get started on this with the right mind-set..a can-do attitude :) and I even made that rhyme for you :)

I understand this is going to be hard, and with some set backs, but it will happen. and by June 1st 2011, I plan to have all my kinks sorted out and on to a fresh green new lifestyle :)

Don't get me wrong, this will be challenging and I'm sure some of you think I'm insane...like my dad who said... "Have you ever ate meat?", "Yes?", "Then why would you ever want to stop!"  That's oldfashioned dad talking for ya..who likes his women with long hair and detests 'tree-huggers' as he calls them.

But I'm going to do this :) So if any of you see me out with any animal product (dairy, etc) then slap my hand and say no ma'm!

*Understand that butter and such are hard to elliminate(sp?), but it's the sense of eating all vegetables, fruits, and whole grains that I'm going for :)

-This has been many attempted and many a fail, but  what's the saying?

 "Try, Try, and try again"

Spring Break..chhhyea!

So.

I'm on Spring Break and so far it's been pretty boring..which is great! This past weekend I worked 36 hours in 3 days and I do not recommend it. It finally caught up with me about 8pm Saturday night and we just so happened to get slammed at Grecian, I decided I would forfeit my tables to the other girls, because the mood I was in was NOT a money making mood.

So, I've recovered from that, finally! I ran several errands today: Paid my insurance, Sent back 2 packages,Ate lunch with Amy, and turned in 2 applications( one for Pool Manager and one for the Nursing Home).

Now I'm sitting at home, thinking about starting a new book: Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice..the first book in her Vampire Chronicles series. I figured I might as well go ahead and start another book while I'm waiting for the new Sookie Stackhouse book to come out in May :)

I also start Season 1 of Trueblood yesterday..I'm uber excited! It'll take me awhile to finish because each episode is 1 hour long! Outrageous!

But I'm off to read.

Stay Pretty,
Sarah

Sad Wednesday..

So, I had a pretty sad Wednesday. I found out that I didn't get into the Nursing Programs at either TTU or ETSU. So now I'm praying that I get into Cumberland. The application isn't due until June so I have to wait a little while, which is nerve-wrecking!


Spring Break starts after I get out of class at 2:20 tomorrow! I'm super excited :) but not super excited about the 36 hours I have to work in 3 days before my break really begins :/


I'll be turning in my pool application this Friday. Next week, I'll be turning in my Nursing Home application. And I really hope I get both jobs. I'm just ready to have a steady income(kinda) and work schedule while I go to school in the fall.


I'll be working alot this summer, but I know it'll be worth it in the end. I have to get a new car this summer, especially if I'll be commuting to school everyday. The little bug has just about had it. :(


Although I was disappointed yesterday, I'm keeping my head up. Things happen for a reason and I just wasn't meant to go to either of those schools. I'm hopefully going to finish up this semester with all A's and that will help out my gpa greatly :)


Just taking it day by day. :)


Stay Pretty,
Sarah

A little slow..

So I've not blogged in quite some time. I apologize for that. I just get so busy and not in the mood to blog, so I don't.

I worked alot last weekend, which isn't new. I enjoy the money but I will really be enjoying the money when I don't have to pay $400 rent for this stupid apartment anymore. This is my last semester at Tech( Unless I get accepted into the nursing program *crosses-fingers*) I just sit here and think how much money I would have saved( oh roughly $3600..and to see the figure makes me sick :/ ) if I hadn't gotten this apartment. I like the convience but I definately should have driven back and forth. Oh well, you live and learn.

My insurance has also went down since I'm 21 :) This makes me a happy bird! My dad said, "Well what are you going to do with all the extra money left over from your insurance?" and I said "Well buy a new car of course!". Sadly enough, the bug as had it. She's a 2000/2001 <--whichever one my old bug wasn't.--- and we've had our days. Here recently, she's decided she will blare her little beeper at me and blick her little 'Brake' light to let me know that my emergeny brake is still on, which it never is. So I have to calmly tell my passenger to ingnore this, and no the car is not about to explode.

So I'm hoping that without having to pay rent this summer that I can save up and get a new(er) car before I start whatever Nursing School in the Fall. :)

Not much is going on with me, It's the week before Spring Break and I'm totally estatic(sp?).  I get to have a whole week off to do nothing! I get to see my sister perform in the public Interact Show, which is always fun, and of course My love will be there with me :)..well, he had better be! He's been working long hours so said he may not be able to make it :/

I reluctantly told Kaleb I would go with him on the opening morning for Killing Turkeys. :/ But i said I refused to kill anything and if I were him I wouldn't be surprised if I scared them all away :) He wasn't to fond of that idea. He says I'll fall in love with it, and I say he's crazy. But you have to give a little to get a little, so I said I would go because I know it makes him happy. I wonder if I can take pictures? Or if the sound will scare away the turkeys... muahah.

Well I'm on the last Sookie Stackhouse book: Dead in the Family

and I'm very sad about this. :( I really hope she continues to write more and I will definately be watching the TV show or getting the seasons one.

Also, I have my new Kindle since my other broke! It slide off in the floor( from atop a stack of pillows not even 1 ft off the floor!) and hit the carpet and that made the screen bust. I just couldn't believe it. But it was still under warranty and I received a free one, but have to send back the defected one. So now we are reunited and the Nerds proclain victory once again. :)

Stay Pretty,

Sarah
