Under the Weather

I always thought I was someone who didn't get sick too much, but it seems like I've been sick quite a bit lately...I'm not sure, maybe it's just me. Whatever it is, I've had a cold since Friday which has been accompanied by mood swings, a stuffy/runny nose, headaches, stomach aches, lots of sleepiness, and a general feeling of being crappy. I just wanted to appoligize and let you know that I'm still alive and be on the look out for some posts upcoming. For now, I'm curled up under a soft and warm blanket with a book and a box of Kleenex trying to fall asleep...I didn't get to prepare a Musica Monday for you this week and I'm sorry about that....I hope to be back in action within a day or two! Seriously, my boss has a cold now too....never a good combination!!

In other news, the apartment is going awesomely and I've finally figured out the new (for me) library's policy for getting books from other libraries! Plus I've been working on some crafts that I hope to show you guys soon :D and Tuesday is my mom's birthday, so...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Love,

Sara :)

This Week

This week has been one of those super long weeks that's not even over with but has yay far ended in a dramatic emotional breakdown in front of my boss at work today. *heavy sigh* That's not to say that I haven't gotten anything done, but it has been quite difficult to do anything when my mind is going in about six different directions at once. As my boss says I'm "burning the candle at both ends", this sadly does not help with maintaining ones sanity and should thus be avoided. Just to add to everything I'm coming off a cold today which has drained all of my remaining energy (there isn't as much as I'd like there to be but that happens) and caused a craving for hot cocoa and soup (or Matt's cinnamon and sugar toast, yummy!) and a desire to curl up in a little ball and sleep, ignoring like everything. However, since that is not an option, I shall instead curl up in my pjs tonight and watch some documentary (or perhaps a show) tonight.
I do hear a bottle of wine calling my name for perhaps this weekend? Any takers? Well, I just wanted to post that I haven't forgotten about this blog, I just have been feeling so down in the dumps lately that I haven't had anything of interest to post! That, however, shall hopefully change by next week!
Also, Valentine's Day is coming up! I gotta figure out something to do!! *Panic*
Love you all and thanks for being understanding, I know there have been a lot of excuses lately...

Musica Monday

Hey all, I'm back with another Musica Monday. I won't be writing much today because I donated blood earlier this afternoon and my body kinda went into shock and is still recovering... But I should be good in not too long. I wanted to share a cover with you guys :) I'm not going to say much today (sorry...I'll work on that when I'm feeling better) but I really hope that you guys listen to this cover and then look at the different channels for the people who are singing here, they are pretty awesome!! :D

Enjoy guys!
Love,
Sara :)

Sickness :( and Climbing Update (finally)

I seem to be getting sick quite a bit this year :( It's only February and already I've been sick twice! That's my issue currently, I've had a headache that's been come and go for a while now, a sore throat, and ears that won't stop popping, plus it snowed (YAY!!) so I also have a runny and stuffy nose :P I guess it's just not really my time of year :P
Sorry for the lame excuse and for not doing a music post yesterday :( I think yesterday was probably the first time I have missed a Musica Monday!! I don't like that idea, I'd rather I never missed it! I promise that I will try and get better at doing this, I mean I was on a roll for a while, but kinda lost it.

Also, I have a quick climbing update (haven't had one of those in a while :P). I started my rock climbing class yesterday, and though we didn't do too much yet, we did bolder and I found that I have forgotten what it is like to start from the very beginning and to not understand the basics of rock climbing. We talked about the proper gear for climbing, and I'm actually thinking about doing my seminar paper (pretty much a senior thesis) on the varying injuries between beginning and advanced climbers. I haven't decided yet, but right now I think that might be where I am going :)

Anyways, I hope that you are all not sick, because that would suck :( If you are, feel better! I will attempt to do the same thing myself, and have a great week!
Love,
Sara :)

Back on Campus

Alright, so I arrived back on campus last night. Today was officially my last first day of my undergraduate career (I'm not continuing on to graduate school as of now, but I may take some classes while I figure out what I really want to do with my life). It's a bit of a slap in the face that hasn't quite fully reached me yet, knowing that in 4 months I will be out of school and will actually have to start living like a normal human being...let's just say that I'm starting to get a bit nervous but also excited! Anyways, school is a big colder than home was, not by a lot, but I'm glad that I had a scarf on (a NEW one that my roommate got me from her January trip to FLORENCE!!!).
I have 4 classes this semester totally about 3.25 credits. Allow me to explain. Each course here counts for 1 credit, and each 'gym' class (and music lesson) count for .25 credits, we have to take 2 'gym' classes in order to graduate, as one of the requirements. My gym class is rock climbing (SUPER excited!!), which I will start on Monday and then will have Mondays and Wednesdays. My other classes are: Ancient Rome, American Film History, and a Senior Studies class in my major, Exercise Science. I'm looking forward to this semester and can't wait to see what happens :D
I will say that one thing I am not going to miss at all about college/school is the books. I only had two classes to buy books for this semester (yay!) and still it cost me nearly $200, including one book that I rented for 1/3 of the price (nifty thing our school has :P, the renting a book instead of having to pay the full price).
I also find that I might be sick :( Though not sure what with. Possibly mono? We shall see.
I hope you are all doing well!
Love,
Sara :)

Monday Musica

Alright, so I know that I'm a bit late here today, and I am sorry about that, but even though it seems off, when I am home I actually don't spend as much time on my computer as I do doing other things. For instance, currently I am thinking about a possible camping/hiking trip I may be taking with Matt later on in the year (meaning I'm also starting to look at gear!! Always fun! :D). So right now, my mind is kinda distracted by that thought :P plus the fact that we are reorganizing my room, and I think I'm sick with something (but really no idea what). All these excuses have piled up to become an excuse for why I have not been blogging over interim break.
On another note, the music I'm thinking of today is actually something called an anime music video (AMV) for the show Bleach. I would recommend it for people, I mean I enjoy it, but I do know that some really don't like anime and I respect that. I, on the other hand, am a big fan of it and am currently enjoying Soul Eater and a few others :P This is an AMV to the song 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi, which is a good song in general! This is a bit different from my usual Musica Mondays, but I still hope that you all enjoy it and you comment and let me know what you think! Depending, there may be more of these later :P

Love,
Sara :)
