So on my busiest day of the week, I still found time to do a quick blog. Amazing!
I'm not nearly as angry as I was in my last post (for those of you who know me, you know that I rarely stay mad for very long). I'm still not happy with the job - and other reasons that I won't list have added to why - but Steve and I had a long joint floor meeting with both of our wings, and we made it clear that we're both sick of the lack of respect and that we were going to start cracking down. Results? Things have been better.
The past weekend was busy, but fun! Hana came to spend the night on Friday and we had a great time. She came to the WVU horse show with me on Saturday and it was fun (as usual), and it got even better because I placed 4th out of 7 people! That's the first time I've beat more than one person/came in last. Haha...so I was pretty excited over that. I messed up in front of the judge and I was pretty sure I had put myself in last place, but then I guess I got it back together so quickly that it impressed her...? I'm not sure, but I'm definitely not complaining!
This week has been pretty hellish. A lot is due and I feel like I don't have enough time to complete everything. And it's not just schoolwork. Or CA stuff. Or equestrian team-related. It's everything.
HealthFest.
Nutrition and Health booth.
Surveys/code book for Data Management completed.
OctoberFest.
Health Measurement and Evaluation marketing campaign completed.
Cedar Point fundraiser.
Volunteering at SHEC.
Plus more.
The good news is that one of the big days is over! Yesterday was HealthFest, where I helped to run 3 different booths for 2 different reasons (Nutrition and Health & PPHA). It was a little crazy, but actually really fun and everything ran smoothly. I just have so many other things to do...like, my day today started at 7 am, and it won't end till 10 pm. Well, that's partially true. My activities/commitments won't end till 10 pm. And then I have homework and studying. This is my life! For once, I put my foot down though this semester... I've been having trouble with a particular group project in a class where I've been staying up very late to complete parts of the project because nobody else has taken the initiative to get things done. However, another part is due soon and I've made it clear that either we're all staying up late together, or someone else needs to do it because this week is NOT the week for me to be taking on group projects on my own.
That's why they're called "group projects."
I wish some people understood.
I'm just overwhelmed -- happy, but overwhelmed. And this weekend the Equestrian Team is working at Cedar Point as a fundraiser, and yours truly is driving. Did I mention that we have to be there at 8:30 am? For an 8 hour day? And then I have to drive back? Cedar Point is roughly three hours away. I'm not the only one driving, of course....but after this week, all I'm going to want to do is relax. Guess it can't happen till Sunday!
I also hope I get to see Perry at some point this weekend. I'm not going to be up for driving to Pittsburgh, that's for sure. So I hope he comes up here... anyway, that's another thing stressing me out.
Blah. Enough for now -- I'll update more later & I hope you're all doing well.
