Haven’t been very active on CC over the past few days. I’ve kept up on reading everything, but just didn’t have the chance to post, but I’ll catch up a little later in the day.

So today’s going to be my first day back at school. I’ve got Acco 410 today, which is accounting for non-profit organizations. I’m at the point in my degree right now where screw getting the most of my education- I want OUT. So I’m taking all the easy classes, as much as possible. I also designed my schedule that way when I just started out. That way all the hard courses were taken care of in yrs 2 and 3. Ive got 4 acco’s and 3 electives yet that I need to take. So this semester, I took 2 electives (both interesting enough subjects, both Online web courses—so no need to actually GO to school for them), and two Accos- Accounting theory (oddly enough, a 400 level course that is a requirement to my degree) and acco for non profits (which, rumor has it, is pretty straightforward). I’ve got two days of school a week, and three days of work a week. On Tuesdays (today) I work during the day and my class is from 6pm-9pm. So a busy day. But I’ve got weekends off and my week pretty much ends at 2:30 on Thursday afternoons. A fantastic schedule, if I do say so myself. *Bows

I actually saw 214.8 on the scale this weekend! But I stepped on the scale for my usual Monday weigh-in to find 216.8. Not really surprised, because I ate a lot of salt over the weekend, so I was probably retaining water. But then imagine my surprise when I got my monthly this afternoon! Like, a week and a half early, too. But at least I’ve got a really good explanation for my weight gain! So I’m not going to step on the scale at all until this is over and done with.

This weekend I cheated a little, but well within my limits. Sunday, I went out for lunch with my aunt and grandma, and we went to an Asian buffet. I planned for it, though. So I had a smaller breakfast (only 200 cals) and my supper ended up being 500 cals. I had just over 1000 cals at the buffet (yes, I logged it all). The only bad thing I had was some fried calamari… I just couldn’t stay away (that alone was about 350cals). But the rest was healthy- steamed broccoli, some clams, Chinese noodles, and a won ton soup, basically. And no dessert. So that brought me to 1700-1800 cals in the day… more than usual, but still a 300 cal deficit. Would have liked to exercise but just couldn’t bring myself to do it, unfortunately. And about the same on Monday but I went down to the Old Port with some friends and we did a TON of walking. I had an ice cream as a treat- haven’t had one in over a month and a half- and that used to be my addiction. So I treated myself to a small strawberry cone and that was it. I savored it, instead of just gobbling.

My weekend was pretty great overall, and then I come to work today to find out that I’ve been filling out my timesheets wrong- so I’m missing an entire week on my paycheck, even though I just got paid for a full two weeks. But the way the system works, I get paid from the 1-15 and 16-31 of every month. And I’d been filling out my timesheets Mon- Frid, two weeks at a time. So I’m owed an entire week worth of hrs! That’s a ton of extra money in my pocket, when I need it most (tuition and textbooks are basically taking care of all the money I saved up over the summer).

I promise I’ll catch up on everyone’s posts/journals sometime today, its just difficult for me to get on from work sometimes.
