A.D.D.

Hello! Long time no update. October is and has been such a busy month -yet one full of many beginnings, birthdays and blessings! It's already almost halfway into fall quarter already! Things are progressing so quickly I need time to catch my breath, eat potatoes and de-stress by bellowing to "Love on Top" by Beyonce. o_o

Thoughts:
1) I think I may have or potentially may have a mild case of A.D.D...
2) I am so sad because I still have yet to watch a full game of my beloved yellow and purple play...
3) But I love that the season opener is at the end of October because once the season begins I know that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!
4) Work is crazy. I feel like I am a mother of 20 kids. But even though they fart, tickle, scratch and nag at me constantly I love them more everyday!
5) Currently living off of hot pockets, carrot sticks and Starbucks.
6) Calculus sucks... Urban Dictionary explains my thoughts perfectly.
AP Calculus92 up33 down
The most ridiculous math class you'll ever take in high school in which the lowest grades you'll ever make you're happy to receive. Side effects include: lack of sleep, absence of a life, and/or loss of a soul.
"Dude, I have my AP Calculus final tomorrow; FML..."
"I got a 56!"
"Way to go!" (insert high five here)
7) I'm having Disneyland withdrawals!!! :(
8) Happy 21st Birthday Matthew!

Surprise! :)
=))
Roomies in height order. lol. They love me. Except Chris :'(
<3
matching chocolate mole! :) 
I just re-read my post and realized that I proved my own #1 point. Sigh. Ok time to eat my hotpocket, crackers, carrots and avocado and tumble to work! :)

Au revoir!

What a Week!

Hello friends!
 Starting my second week of school! I've probably enriched my mind cognitively more in the past few months than all of sophomore year. Things are going at a quick pace, but I've never loved learning so much. (What the nerdface?) I'm loving school more and more-- and I'm so motivated and inspired by encountering more of the cognitive and psychological world of the brain. I have so much ahead of me! So much to learn... Cognitively, Emotionally, Physically?.. Spiritually. Even though I know I'll get owned in the face and humbled to the max, it's so exciting.

In case you ever thought, "I wonder what Erin is doing right now?" Here's what the daily grind looks like for me lately!
7:00 a.m. awaken therefrom thy bed
7:30 devotions
7:45 walketh to campus
8-1:50 class
2-6:00 work
6:30 dinner prep
7:00 p.m. miscellaneous
10:00 p.m. exercise (Thank you Janice)

It's kinda crazy but I secretly love it. I think I run on a busy schedule. I'm trying to cook every day instead of eating out or not eating at all. I'm finding that cooking has been almost therapeutic to my busy bee body. Reminds me of home! Definitely 100x more grateful for home cooking. I hope to be as good a cook as my mother one day. I'm using my sweet Saturday mornings and/or evenings to do fun and active things like scrap booking, running, hiking, biking etc. Speaking of hiking, I think I'm hiking Mount Baldy this Friday! Sigh... I don't know why I still do things when I know it'll be painful. Oh and speaking of biking, enjoyed a nice bike ride to Corona del Mar with these friends... but then I realized how out of shape I was. =(
Ridin' our way into October =)
Both sick the same day =( ... love bug?? Jk. 
Home this past weekend :) Cured my sickness.. I love being home!
Here's to a new week :) Thank you Lord!
