I Wonder if it is Worth it...

After taking 3 tests this week I have decided that sometimes studying doesn't help. I feel like that questions that I knew on the test I knew before I studied and the questions that I did not know were nowhere in the material that I used to study with. Perhaps I have a slight advantage seeing as how I have a partially photographic memory, nonetheless, I feel as though hours of the time that I spent studying could have been put to better more productive use. However, studying does serve one important task. It makes me feel as though I am more prepared than if I had not studied, whether this is true or not is still up for debate. I at least feel this way about my classes that are theoretical in nature rather than fact driven.

CAUTIONARY TALE ABOUT LATE NIGHT READING!

PREFACE: This week I have had 3 huge tests and a Spanish paper due. This means that my sleep time has been almost non-existent.
         Last night at around 3 a.m. while writing a Spanish paper I decided to kill time that I didn't have to read proposal stories, because after all who doesn't love them? I was reading this adorable story of his this woman's boyfriend proposed to her in one of the cutest ways that I have ever heard of. After her proposal story came to an abrupt end she wrote that her fiance was killed in action in Iraq before they had a chance to get married. To this I cried, I cried so hard in fact that I had to call someone so that I could stop. For a while there I think he thought that something was terribly wrong, and I mean terribly wrong. I proceeded to cry for about the next 45 minutes over this 2 paragraph story. Lets just say that late-night reading is risky business!

LETS REVIEW:

• Risk factors for what I will call late night hysterical reading episodes are as follows:
• Lack of Sleep
• Reading at a late hour
• Reading while alone
• When you are over-worked or over-stressed
• Reading things like proposal stories, wedding stories, anything that has to do with military men and their families, Haiti ect... 

A Bachelor Confession...

There is a chance that I may be a tad obsessed with The Bachelor this season. I almost feel like I am seeking out people to talk to about the weeks past and speculating about the upcoming week. My best girlfriend informed me that she loved The Bachelor this past week, i proceeded to get high and squeaky. Not the least of her concern was the fact that I wasn't breathing, I was just way to excited for essential body functions. I have even started saying a new word that I have never used before to describe my excitement and enthusiasm for The Bachelor, WICKED!!! While I understand that this is not a new word it is a word that i have never used before when describing, it somehow makes me feel like the little boy on the tricycle in The Incredibles. "That was totally WICKED!" However, there are many reasons why The Bachelor is not a waste of my time. I will justify my obsession now:

• It helps me relax after a long day of class, practice and studying.
• At business meetings I bond with some of the other ladies over, you guessed it, The Bachelor.
• My obsession has allowed me to form a WICKED special bond with some ladies I did not know very well pre-bachelor. 
• I get to share my love with my best gal pal
• Which leads to weekly Bachelor parties, where we make nachos and get WICKED excited when Jake gives Tenley a rose!!
• A WORD OF CAUTION: To much of this WICKED excitement may lead to a nacho mess on the floor, which your dog may eat. While he may enjoy jalapenos at the time, he wont later :(
• It makes me ridiculously happy, which makes me smile. 
• Studies have shown that smiling is good for your health.
