For your consideration...

So let's see.  Ive got so many tattoo ideas and no idea which ones im actually going to seriously get, except im pretty positive about one i want.

I know i want to get two blue birds chasing each other because my grandmother gave me these two little glass blue birds that were supposed to bring you good luck.  For awhile, i used to carry one in my purse, probably close to 2 years...  so they are really special.  Two because my mom ended up giving me hers as well.

I have always loved astrology, so i really want to get some sort of tribal kind of anklet tattoo that incorporates stars but i want it to be a very smply and cute design.  kind of like the whole wavy design where you can put the stars in a line and then weave in and out... its hard to explain exactly but hopefully you gettt it!

I think a tiger would be really cool but i havent been able to find something that i really like super a lot.  I want it to be like feminine and fierce but not like really like man scary... yet not super baby tiger cute (which is what ive always been looking at)

I also want to get a hummingbird at a flower at some point because they have alwasy been kind of a big thing in my house and they are just like these crazy little small buggers that are so cute and they have some like mysterious sort of mythical meaning behind them i guess (not entirely sure about that id have to look it up to be entirely certain) but yea.  :-P

I ALSO WANT TO GET MY NOSE PIERCED I THINK but im super super nervous lol :-D

Anyways. besides my tattoo adventures because ive been really craving one lately so its been on my mind.. 

Ive been working mornings and been pretty free during the nights.  I went out fo rice cram with jess one night, hung out with linds and bridget which was fun.  linds and i watched bride wars and were like LOL OH GOD HOPE THAT ISNT US because you know weve been best friends for awhile. haha, so that was pretty funny :-)  i went to bretts last night after he got out of work and then worked this morrrning, and im spending the night again..  and working tomorrow morning.. then i have 3 days off which im happy about! :-) 

Been beading again which is super fun, expensive, but its fun and worth it. i love it.

:-) life is pretty good right now.  except this sucky weather needs to leave and bring me back some friggin suuun maaanng!!! :-P

Honorss?, Woo hoo!

Officially got all of my grades back:

Business Statistics : A-
Marketing : A-
Philosophy : B+
Linguistics : B-
Accounting : B-

Overall, I am really satisfied with my grades :-)

For the summer, it looks like I will be working all morning shifts mostly at Walter's, which I am cool with because I don't make tips anymore hosting at night.. But I still make tips at lunch :-D Hooray!

So, my schedule will be 11:15-2:30 (more like 2:45ish) Monday-Saturday (except for holidays, ie. memorial day)

Once summer is in full swing, it will be 11:15-3:00.

Excited to start saving money and working more, it should be a good summer.. or so I hope!! Things are looking up right now and I'm counting on things to stay that way..

I am getting pretty into the gym thing, i like the feeling i get after i leave the gym so thats really a good motivation for me.. Plus it gives me something to do when everyone else is busy adn i have spare time// have nothing else to do with myself.. LOL..

Just need to get on my bead jewelry sellingness. The day i sell my first necklace, im seriously going to spaz out hardcore lol :-) love!!!


<3 so if anyone is interested.. let me know.. ;-)

So lets see. I had an eventful weekend, but not in a good sense.

In not wanting to dwell on the past, Lost some friends who were pretty close but apparently werent that close after all. I made some mistakes, I have learned those mistakes, and have moved on; thats it. nothing more or nothing less to this situation. I chose to move on and simply not talk to these people anymore because I know they do not want to speak to me (though i am not sure I would want to speak to some again regardless of if they wanted to speak to me).

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger, and I am a better person for it.

Moving on from that, I had a pretty decent weekend with Brett. We just kind of hung out and had some quality time together which was really nice and fun. I love nights like that.

I got my own month by month gym membership to Pfit in westbrook which is a long ass drive but it is worth it because I feel a lot better at the end of the day after I have been to the gym; thats what is really important.

After the gym today I returned my books to USM and got 106 for like 5 books which was kind of ridiculous but should have been expected (i jsut wanted some immediate cash for shopping). I have two books left that they wouldnt take so ill try online or wait until next semester for those ones..

After that, we had a great shopping trip.. Went up to freeport and spent about an hour at the beadin path, then headed back to south portland and went to target, AC Moore, and the mall for a little bit. I got some hair stuff, some crimp beads rom AC moore that i needed, and two shirts from forever 21 which are both super super super cute so im excited about that :-)

I have plans tomorrow to go to lunch with Katie, who i havent really talked to in ages and I am really excited about that because we used to be best friends and i havent seen or talked to her in so long. We were so close and i totally miss that.. Im hoping maybe we can get a friendship kind of back on track, that would make me super super happy.. we were so close, its just such a shame to see the point we are at now!!

I am also hopign to have a girls night with lindsey and jess this week which I am in DIRE need of.. Gosh, i totally misss just hanging out with them and being our crazy selfs. good times, but i dont ant to always reminise, i want some now good time moments!! I am really hoping that ends up working out with them one night! :-P

I have a few extra shifts at Walter's this week since summer has started (hence my little summer burst of shopping, though i still need to buy a solid pink bikini..).. This week I am working weds-sat morning and am hoping to start going to the gym before work, then showering at the gym and heading to work so i can get a nice work out in. My goal is to go 5 days a week.. the times may be skewed every day, but my goal is mornings when i can.. if not mornings, then whenever i can get my ass there!!

had a great work out today.. can still feel the burn in my abs, oh jesus!! :-P

(Dear Bridget, thank you for getting me hooked on the gym again. Love, Kristen)

I have officially completed one summer goal:

PASS BUSINESS STATISTICS!!
I am extremely proud to say I passed the class with an A-, my highest grade in a USM course so far!! (i am still waiting to hear back from 3 other classes for grades)

I also found out my Philosophy Grade, B+, which I am pretty excited about as well! :-)

I have to eventually do some crazy extra credit assignment for marketing and email it to my prof. by Monday so thats pretty cool. I felt pretty good about my Accounting Final and I also felt pretty good about Linguistics today (i hope!) so, we will see how things turn out :-)

Summer, Right around the Corner!!...

Well, actual class time is over for me, Now I have 4 finals left..

Statistics, Marketing, Accounting, and Linguistics.. HOORAY..

So, I have a butt load of studying to do this week/weekend (stats EXAM is monday morning at 8 and if any of you recall, that is the class i had to retake from last semester..)

So I've come up with some ideas/goals for myself for the summer and most probably should carry into the fall..:

• Make and SAVE (keyword SAVE) lots of money
• Start going to the gym again
  
• Learn to/Go kayaking
• Make lots of beautiful bead necklaces and other pieces of jewelry and try harder to get them out there to sell...
• Eat more fruits and veggies and to keep not soda very much
• Get a little tan?!!?
• Go campingg
• Spend lots of time with friends who have been gone at school//who i missss (and all friends in general of course..)
• PASS APPLIED BUSINESS ANALYSIS (which of course, comes after I pass Business stats, so I suppose i should say PASS BUSINESS STATS before anything else..)
• Have a girls weekend and go shopping somewhere not in maine. Like new hampshire or something.. because ive never done that!!!
• Go to Boston maybe?!!?

Thats it for now. maybe ill eventually come up with ssome more ideas later :-) :-P
