Focus on the reward

This weekend I finished the design for my client. And I absolutely love how it turns out. Love the color as well and the elements that was added to it. I just love it when my client gets excited on what I made for them. But anyway, I should be ready to install it this week and I will be starting another design. This next one will be sort of a country style due to the fact that the graphics she had chosen has the country elements. Though I'm not really sure if that's what she likes. I still have to find out. Just have to finish the other one first and before starting with the other. Before what I did was work on 2 projects at a time and it gets a little stressed out, specially I am not just designing, I also have to study for school, take care of my daughter, clean our house, do the laundry, cook, etc etc. Well, you know the usual work for a stay at home mom and a student.

It was a nice plan though when I haven't started school yet. For me to stay home and take care of our girl and then I got to a point where I am getting bored so I decided to go back to school and take up nursing. Totally the opposite of what I am doing... graphic designs...from computer science to nursing career.

For the most part the reason I am trying to get into nursing is because I still want to be able to stay with my daughter, maybe just work 2 or 3 days and still be able to have plenty of time to take care of her. And then of course, money wise I'll be earning more and help my husband with the bills. Well, I didn't really imagine that it will be difficult. See back in the days, I didn't really have a hard time with school... but I guess I really never taken into consideration that before I was single, not working and totally focused with school. Now, not only that I am married I also have a child and have responsibility in life. Whew! Too much stuff on my plate.

It almost feels like if I put all of these together, I can have the most stressful part of my life and the work nightmare at the same time if I can get through with this, I can also have the most rewarding part... I think I just need to channel my thinking with the reward so the difficulty will all be worth it.

It's like when you are trying different acne treatment. You keep on trying everything and hoping that the next one will be the best acne treatment you ever had. You keep on trying and not giving up and in the end hopefully you'll get the reward that you are supposed to have.

Oh well, it's life... its definitely not boring.

It's the second week

Tonight we had our first quiz and it's our second week for the class. This was actually the second time we meet in the class. Can you imagine, first quiz already. Oh, and did I mention that we have a quiz every class. I think with just the quizzes that we are having every time we have a class I don't need any weight loss diet supplements anymore. Just sleeping late and too much stress will make me loss weight already. I just can't imagine how I am going to get through this semester. And I am only taking 2 classes. Well, sort of 3 actually. With my microbiology I have lecture and lab and you get different grades for both and for your finals, it will be combined. So really I have to make sure that I do good on both.

I was thinking that maybe I can just sacrifice my online class since it is not really one of the class that I need if I am going to do the ADN program, but then again it will still affect my GPA, plus the good thing about this other subject that I have is that if I do decide to pursue the Bachelors degree it will be credited. It's one of the reason I am taking it really. Oh, and guess what! I have to finish 3 chapter quizzes and one test by February 7...whoah!

So I am getting my butt off the computer now and I need to read more on my microbiology class. I was getting really sleepy on the class tonight and my professor is lecturing really fast I can't keep up with the note taking. I was going to print out his slides but at the end of the class some of my classmates were complaining because the slides does not match what he was lecturing. He said that he did some changes on the slides that's why. Good thing I didn't print out the slides. So I just have to read some more on the book so I can actually grasp what he just lecture tonight.

I also have to study my lab. We did some staining tonight and I can't even pronounce the names of the specimen that we used. I have 2 different professor on this one and the lab professor is a bit strict so I have to make sure I study.

See you all on the nest post.

Muscle Milk?

I was browsing tonight and I came across this website and it talks about muscle milk review. I got curious as to what is this muscle milk. I was thinking maybe it's just a term that is being used for something else. Apparently, it is a protein supplement with no calorie and little fat.

Well, I guess right. It's a terminology or should I say a name for something to do with muscle.

Now come to think of it, I think I might have seen one before. My husband used to have some protein supplement but its a different brand. I really need to get more information about this stuff, it might be beneficial for my nutrition class.

Personal Benefits

I've noticed lately that women tend to gain weight after they get married and specially after giving birth. Personally, I've gained a few pounds after I got married. And of course during pregnancy eating habit change and after giving birth its a bit harder to go back to your previous diet. And loosing the extra pounds take some time and there are some that just have a hard time shedding those extra pounds.

Maybe due to lack of motivation and support. It could also be that they don't have time to do some exercise. But come to think of it, raising a child and if you are a stay at home mom, which means doing laundry and cleaning... it's a 24 hours job and a form of exercise. However, its still not as fast as using diet pills. Which by the way is still personal preference.

Personally, I still prefer regular exercise for the benefits I can get from it. Some of which is healthy skin. Regular exercise can promote circulation. People who do regular exercise has less stress. Which reminds me, I am having too much of it lately. Our body produce certain hormones that makes us feel relax and happy during regular exercise, better body and immune system. And most of all self confidence. You will look and feel more healthy and fit, you will become more confident.

So it begun...

Yes, last night was the first day of school... and its the beginning of a long term for me. For this semester I am taking nutrition and microbiology. And its only the first week and I am already stressed out. It feels like I am going to hit a huge wall and I don't know how to stop... well maybe because there is no way to stop now.

Just for instance with my microbiology class, we have a quiz for next week and if we didn't pass this quiz we cant go through with the class. Can you imagine that? But I guess it's a must to know the material for safety reason.

It's just like knowing what's the best food to eat, the best school for your kids, the best neighborhood, the best people to mingle with or maybe even best colon cleanse to use.

Speaking of colon cleansing, there are a lot of people that are not aware of such. I for once just started finding out information about this but my mom actually had one of this when I was young. And there are many different methods and procedures that can be done at home or at the doctors office. And of course each has its own advantage and disadvantage.

It's going to be very interesting semester. Learning about nutrition and at the same time virus and bacteria. Lol. Great combination!

Been Thinking...

One of the place that I really like when I first got here in the US is Georgia. I just fell in love with the hilly part, the trees and the climate when I visited the first time. It's also the first state that I visited different tourist spot. There's some good memories as well that like going up on the stone mountain wearing a clogs shoes. What was I thinking right? I wasn't really thinking. See the plan for that day was just to see the mountain, but when we got there we saw some few people that were hiking. And well, we didn't have a lot of time to go back so we just decided to hike... with me wearing clogs shoes. By the end of the hike, my feet got blisters. But the view was amazing. It was also in Georgia where I had my first skating lesson. It was fun! At the end of the day, I have bruises all over my knee, legs, elbow and hands. I had the bruises for 3-4 days, but the fun was worth it.

And lately I have been thinking about moving to Georgia. I'm just tired of the heat here in Texas and I want a different atmosphere. Although we can't really move until me and my husband is done with school. But in the near future if we are going to move Georgia is definitely one of the state that I am considering. I don't know exactly where in Georgia but we got plenty of time to search for that perfect place. That will be considered a cross country moving right?

I wonder how much is that going to cost? Were probably not taking most of the stuff that we have. I mean we don't have a lot... but then again I think we have more stuff now compare to when we just move it to our house. Oh well, like I said there's plenty of time to think about that.

Luxury Bed and Breakfast

I know a lot of you are probably starting to make some plans for their summer vacation now. And some may not even be thinking of having one due to the some financial issues. I don't blame you. It's been a while since we really had a long and nice vacation and to tell you the truth I am ready for one. Like right now, lets go.

I've always wanted to check out new orleans louisiana. I've always wanted to check out the Mardi Gras. I've heard a lot of people that went there and they said it was just amazing. I love festivities and anything that goes with it. And I bet that there are going to be a lot of great deals to get more people to visit.

When I was browsing online I saw this Magnolia Mansion which is a Historic Luxury Bed and Breakfast place and their charging $83 per night. Not to bad and not bad looking either. I've always wanted to stay on a historic house. Can't wait to check it out.

Creative Display

Are you looking for POP Displays and Specialty Packaging for your business? If you are then CreativeDisplaysNow.com is the place that you can check out.

They can customized packaging according to your needs. Take for example this uniquely heart shaped custom packaging piece. The corrugated structure provides the rigidity necessary to hold the contents and to keep its shape. Provides a high quality graphics and functionality.

The offer products from cardboard display, counter displays, pop displayes, cd and dvd displays as well as corrugated displays. They also do brand promotions.

What I like about this company is their goal which is to create sustainable packaging and displays by using less material, using recycled materials, recycling their waste, and promoting energy saving techniques within the company.

Crazy Weather

I don't know how long has it been since the last time we got out of the house... I think a few days ago. It's crazy. It's been really cold and freezing outside and there is no way that I am dragging my daughter outside. And I thought I can live somewhere there is snow. I am taking it back. I don't know how people can take the freezing weather. I am just thankful that we have heat to keep us warm and my daughter don't get cold that easy.

I know I am complaining... when its too hot I am complaining as well. Oh well, I guess that makes me human... we can't just make up our mind.

But anyway, school is almost here again. I haven't even finish the books that I was reserving for the break. Although I did finish one. I was hoping to finish at least two books though.

I am a bit anxious also because I just applied for the nursing program. And then I have some immunizations that I have to have. And then I have to make sure that I have a good insurance coverage. Not the term life insurance but got to have an insurance. I guess its for protection or something. So much stuff to do and finish. I am just crossing my finger and hope I get in.

Tomorrow, its another cold day... but according to report weather is going to get better next week. I can't wait.
