Struggle b/w Leisure & Finals ~ Daily Log 3/4

My university is a part of the quarter system, which has its ups and downs. The main con to it for me is that after midterms I get a false sense of security... I feel like chilling out and enjoying my time because it seems like there is plenty of time between midterms and finals... but there's not.  This entire last week, I've been focusing on leisure over my studies; in consequence, I'm going to have to kick ass this week.

One major thing I did not realize is that I also happen to be On Call this week, Monday through Thursday. This means that as I'm trying to get things done, I simultaneously have to have a phone on me 24/7 and respond to emergency calls (which happen more often than you'd think).  However, I know I can do it.  I have faith that coffee and good old fashioned determination will get me through.  If I can get some exercise in (along with my healthy eating), I'll be golden!

Some updates on the last few days that I have not written... I have actually not been doing too badly with my healthy eating. I've had a lot of delicious seafood, such as a Cajun seafood medley, seared ahi tacos, oysters, and steamed mussels.  At one point I had a piece of pizza, beer, and some chicken wings, but don't judge (shh!).

I'm going to try to keep healthy food readily available in these next couple of weeks as I crack down on my studies so that instead of grabbing those hot pockets I have in my fridge, perhaps I'll grab a salad instead. I'd also love to get a few work outs in (fingers crossed!).

"What Went Well" Exercise
1. I sat myself down and read, determined to get the bulk of my reading out of the way.

• Why did this happen? I took a look at everything that is due this week and my timeline, and decided that the time I had would be best spent downing some coffee and reading.

2. I started a new blog that I've been wanting to for awhile.  Visit it at drinkmedivine.blogspot.com

• Why did this happen? I love to wine and beer taste, and I wanted to keep track of my experiences. What better way than through the lovely internets?
