SPSS

I have an SPSS quiz to do but I'm not really in a stats mood right now... I feel like doing cardio because I had 2 slices of deep dish chicago pizza for dinner... it was the best thing I've eaten in the past week... but now I feel like I need to go run 5 miles. I guess I'll be up all night... again... I'll be feelin' all cracked-out in the stat lab tmrw. Ahh... I love the stress school puts on me.

This post won't make much sense but,

Sometimes, it's hard to be yourself.

I'm enjoying it though. It makes life easier when you don't care about impressing other people all the time and you can just relax and be yourself.

202 with about a week to go... I'm almost at my goal.

Where you should be.

How can I feel good about this life I'm living,
When you're not here right beside me,
Not here, Where you should be

Sometimes it feels like I might as well just turn around and give in,
Cos you're not here,
Where you should be,
Not here, Right beside me.

Under The City Lights

Love this. I'll be slapping this in my car for a while.

Doing my own thing. (12 days left)

The next few days, I'll be doing my own thing... minding my own business... and getting some serious work done.

I know this post is on the 4th, but it's only like 1am so I'm still on the 3rd... That means I have 12 days left to put in as much work as I can...

Anywho, I've also got a bunch of school work to catch up on, exams to study for, projects to finish, and research proposals to start...

From now until Thanksgiving, it's game on, school.

Cleanse.

I need to stay clean this week. I messed up bad with all the food from this past weekend, but it's nothing I can't recover from. Just gotta stay clean this week, and everything else will just fall into place.

"Train your mind, and your body will follow."

To be honest,

I ate a LOT of food today... Or, at least it seems that way, but I only ate 1900 cals. So really, after lifting earlier, I'm at 1400 net for the day... and that's including 250g of protein spread out throughout my day... YAY ME!

hungry and sleepy

I'm hungry and sleepy... I'm at 1800 cals for the day... Just about 70% of those cals are protein. I guess I'll just go to sleep so I'm unconscious of the hungriness... While I'm at it, I'll listen to some Chillout DnB with some rainymood.com in another tab right behind it. :)

Goodnight folks :)

The rain.

Open rainymood.com in a separate tab... Listen to the music video. Enjoy :)

School

I need to start getting into homework mode... I need to finish this midterm.

Getting into a school mindset is always tough for me, but once I do, things happen quickly...

Progress.

I'm somewhere on this road to my goal... Less than 4 weeks til Nov. 15 -- I'm still trying hard to hit my goal, although it's always an uphill battle.

The funny thing is...

my last post is step-by-step exactly how my weekend went... Except for the homework on Saturday night part... What was I thinking saying I would ever do hw on a Saturday night...

Lol, anyways, this week should be fun...

Monday: Wake up, gym, school, prep for my 276 presentation

Tuesday: finish prep, school

Wednesday: school & probably a little fun afterwards to unwind from my LONG 3 day school week... hahaha that was clearly me being sarcastic. Still, I love my Wednesday nights.

This weekend:

Alright, so it's Thursday afternoon, which means I'm currently in the stat lab... I'm not really doing much besides helping a few students out with some printing issues...

So anyway, I thought I'd outline my weekend. Not that it's important to anyone, I'd just like to visualize the next few days.

Thursday: Finish up in the stat lab, eat a light dinner (possibly?), Gym, eat again.
Friday: Wake up, drive to San Francisco, visit Mom & family, drive to Fairfield, Gym with Matt, eat?
Saturday: Kaden's birthday in Vacaville, Drive home to SJ after, possibly do some homework?
Sunday: Chill, watch football possibly hit up Zak and work on our Psyc 270 project. Gym?

So yeah, that's my weekend in a nutshell... I've gotta prepare for a tough week in groups @ work next week as I'm presenting 2 articles, and I guess I need to start thinking about my research proposal for organizational psyc.

So, you pretty much could say everything is going well. :)

Tired.

Alright, I have a Psychometrics quiz tomorrow... That means, that I'll start studying in the AM... I'm pretty prepared for whatever comes my way anyways -- the class itself isn't much harder than what I've studied in undergrad... or maybe I just have a knack for this area of psych methodology. On to other things, I'm starting to get really annoyed... not with that certain issue about grad school -- that issue is now behind me... The thing I'm starting to really get annoyed with is the amount of groupthink & (ironically) group polarization I'm starting to see among my peers... I understand that we ALL had an issue, but seriously, this constant discussion of this topic is like beating a dead horse. I'm really tired of it. Let's move on to a new topic shall we? Maybe something a little more proactive or happier? I mean, no one said grad school was going to be easy. I've already spoke my mind in front of my entire class... and that's all I'm gonna be able to do -- speak my mind. What now? Keep pouting? NOPE... not happening... I say, let's keep moving forward, start taking our education into our own hands, and roll with the punches. It's not that bad anyway. Stop with the negativity... I'm done with this subject.
