Painfully Sleep Deprived

Here he is, Mr. America! It is my soldier. PVT Acosta.

BCT- Fort Jackson (July 8 - September 18, 2009)

AIT - Fort Gordon (September 23 - ???)

We have made it through the first and toughest phase!

(or so we thought, he is beginning to say.)

I'm worried about him because he's been down a lot lately, but I think it's more that he's stressed because he's training for a career he can use even outside of the Army in only 18 weeks and it's hard being able to talk to me every day but he can't see me!

It sure is nice getting to hear his voice everyday!

Not much else is going, besides my sleep deprivation due to the lack of my knack for History.

My First College Almost All-nighter

So this weekend went by way too fast and was way too busy for me to work on any homework until yesterday. I got to sleep until 12 yesterday, but then had to wake up and go get lunch and then indulge into my studies. Now that Michael is at Fort Gordon, GA for AIT (yes! he graduated from basic training at Fort Jackson, SC on Friday) he has a lot more free time on his hands. By free time I mean, when he isn't being a soldier, he's being a wonderful man to me. It's great and all, but I just hope he has a little more busy time than down time. My schedule is so whacky that he distracts me from my work sometimes. It's alright, once he gets into his training classes, he's going to have math and physics homework to keep him pre-occupied on the week days. I'm extremely excited because it's looking good right now that I'll be flying in and either staying on base or close to it for Fall Break with PVT Acosta :) We keep talking about that and it makes my mind wander and daydream..Thanks a lot hon! hahaha

So enough about hopes for the clear and present future and about the crazyness I'll be going through this week. I'm not usually this big of a procrastinator..but I've found it impossible to occupy myself with assignments that have a long term due date. I've had this book since day 1, but I've been too busy reading the other shit to have time to read an important book for my Book Review. So here I am, 4 1/2 days before the Book Review is due beginning on page 1. I was fortunate enough to get through pg. 80 last night. 80 pages down and 168 more to go...not tooo tooo bad. I did stay up past 3 reading and didn't actually fall asleep until around 4:30. FML

Okay, so, I have nothing against people from Spain...but I almost ask myself this with almost every other culture speaking a different language than English...But why in the hell do people who speak different languages find it necessary to shout at one another...there were a crapload of people studying in the lobby and these two people decided to "edit this one guys essay" but they ended up pretty much talking the entire time. I could've actually finished my book a lot sooner had they not come in at 1 am and decided to look at each others facebook pictures and ask loudly who each person in the picture was. SHUT UP or go outside, do you not see there are other people in here working???? So it took me from around 8 to 3:15 to read 80 pages...I'm gonna be mad if it's like this the next two days. Hopefully my essay will not take long and I'll be able to get some decent sleep on Wednesday.

Well off to music theory. To top off the stress of this week, my roommate is sick and I'll be damned if I don't catch her cold or whatever she has, we haven't spoken this morning, she kinda kicked me out of the room while I was reading last night....

I think I learned a lesson and I think I'm going to use the Study Room on my floor, well at least maybe try it out.

You're a Procrastinator

This is by far the worst I have ever procrastinated...At one this afternoon I have a 3 page paper due in Religion. I am about half way through or so..but I'm up an hour early to wake myself up enough to finish writing it. I am addicted to Snyder's Pretzel Snaps :) Yummm!

This weekend was productive until yesterday where I put my family, Michael and his family ahead of my work and I'm paying for it now. I got a phone call from Michael finally last night, I was concerned when he called his mom over me for the first time EVERRRR, but his plan to call me after his Mom ended up failing, it is alright though, he called me earlyyyy this morning and woke me up from my sleep to tell me he loves me, what an amazing guy huh?

My roommate and I got in a fight last night because she was whining about me getting up an hour earlier than I usually do Monday mornings to work on that Religion paper, I decided it wouldn't be a good idea to stay up till two writing it and so I went to bed at my usual time (12) and got up at 6:30. I felt like a drunk this morning once I rolled out of my lofted bed and climbed down to the floor advancing to the rug in the middle of the room to pass out again. I somehow managed to put in an extra 30 minutes of sleep and now I'm almost awake enough to finish the Beast. Oh Religion, why must you be so labor intensive? I read all of Deuteronomy this weekend...I should've put the paper first, but as you can see, I'm not such a smarty pants at managing my time yet here in College.

I am officially not a Rocky Horror Picture show Virgin anymore! It was a lot of fun :) I went with my new best gal's Amanda and Natalie. Whoever thought flutes couldn't get along was wrong! Anyways I'm going to write my paper, I'm tired of arguing with my roomie about Texas because she can't accept Texas is different than California! Ughhh!

What do you mean Labor Day? I've still got tons of "LABOR" to do..

Happy Labor Day Weekend. It's been a great weekend. Sleeping in till almost 1...haha haven't done that in forever. Well the first day I needed to chill and relax from all the chaos and stress. I just couldn't fall asleep last night until 5 am so I ended up sleeping until 1 this afternoon. This weekend has been great..I'm now at the point of my holiday where I need to end the fun and start the work. So, I just started a load of laundry and after this I've got to read through Chapter 19 of Exodus for religion, pick out who I will do my critical reflection over in religion (maybe I'll save that for Tuesday), Theory homework (minor scales=so exciting...NOT), oh and then I have to do even more laundry and endure more reading in History. I've also got to find Manuscript Paper (staff paper) for all of my musical needs and a Digital Sound Recorder for Diction. The fun never ends in my world. I figured I'd update now so I can forget about it until I feel the need to update again.

Besides sleeping this weekend, I had Mexican food last night, yay Chips and Queso my weakness! :) I also saw All about Steve with Sandra Bullock. It was an awful movie! Do not see it, very very very CHEESY! On Saturday, I also went swimming with Michael's Mom, Sister, Niece and Aunt at my house! :) Friday, I went to the Boswell game and surprisingly, they almost beat the State Champion Abilene Cooper. Finally, I just got back from Swimming at Emily (my roommates) grandparents house...they live in Lake Country.

Michael is in his last few days of Basic Training and currently in FTX (Victory Forge). He's doing great! I'm so proud of him. He never fails to remind me how much he misses me and loves me :) nor do I. I Love Him So Much and I Cannot Wait to See him again, no matter how long it takes I'm waiting! :)

Well not much else to say..I'm going to go read the Bible for religion.

Peath haha :)

Please Excuse My Neglect

I've not been refusing to write on my blogger, college life is just very busy and stressful. I still need to somehow work in 2 hours of voice practice and at least an hour and half of flute practice a day into my schedule. Yes, I'm unfortunately one of those kids who as soon as classes are over, reports to their room and locks themselves in doing homework, only stepping out of hibernation for a few hours on the weekend. If you were wondering....Music is that labor intensive. I couldn't imagine if I were taking more than 2 core classes. It seems my workload has been coming out of mostly Religion and History. I think I'm getting the hang of it though.

From what I know, Michael's doing well. He's starting up a rap group with 2 guys who are going to AIT training with him. He goes to Victory Forge this week and then graduates in two weeks! He's been really busy lately so we have not heard from him in over 2 weeks, but his mom and I have both received more letters here recently. :) I'm still really upset that I can't go to his graduation.

Today, I have my first Symphonic Band rehearsal and tomorrow I have my first voice lesson with Ms. Mallette! :) We're almost finished with the opener in Marching Band!

Last weekend was FUN. I smoked Hookah for the first time! :) This weekend, Amanda, Natalie and I are going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show! I also have Meet The Frogs Scrimmage this Saturday morning, I'm really excited to go to the Boswell Football game on Friday though! :)

My first class is at 8 and I've yet to do my make up yet...hope you enjoy your week and have a nice Labor Day Holiday if I don't update before then...doubt it.

I'm really missing Michael.
