So Close I Can Taste It.

There is a light is at the end of the tunnel and I can finally see it. 

I have been in school for a exhausting 11 semesters (including the one that has just begun).

I will be graduating in only 7 months and I can not wait. 

I only have full time internship and one class left and I am completely burnt out.

I eventually intend on pursuing my doctoral degree, but I have to take a year or two off for my own sanity. 

However, my life basically consists of Internship all morning and work all night, or work all morning and internship all night.

I have a 70 hour week coming this week and I am worried about if I will have enough energy to make it.

I have no idea where I will be able to fit in a run, blog or even see my fiance for that matter.

However, on the bright side yesterday the fiance and I spent all day shopping for groceries, new internship clothes and fun things like that. 

I bought a couple more cute items including these:

 Gray Blazer: New York and Company

 White Bodysuit Button Up (I also purchased this in black): Victoria Secret

I also bought a couple new workout shorts and sportsbras. 

I also got my new Ulta Magazine and fell in love with the new OPI Katy Perry Splatter Nail Polish.

I tried to find it yesterday but couldn't but will be returning to get it!!
Does anyone have this yet?

Ugh I love it!!

♥

I have also been working out alot and trying to eat healthy and be healthy which is fun. 
I am trying to lose 5lbs, which really isn't needed but is absolutely wanted.

Well, I may be absent while I try to create a new routine for myself.
But I will be trying to post some outfit of the days and fun posts as much as possible

Retail Therapy

A not so happy day today.

If you remember from a few post back, I had a huuuuge test today for my program.

Ugh, I don't even want to write about it because it will make me think about it again, but it didn't go so well..

At least i don't think it did, but I won't find out for a few weeks.

However, I can retake it if I did poorly so that is a plus.

...

So after a little bumming today, i decided to do a little shopping.

Old Navy is currently having a sale of 30% off everything in store, so I picked up a cardigan and a couple tank tops.

Gah, I am pretty much obsessed with this color. Its like a robins egg blue.

So fun for spring. 

I intend on doing a little more shopping tomorrow and will post what I get.
♥
Also, I have been religiously living at the website Hautelook lately, which is a fun website with tons of huge deals on some great items. Although some things are a bit out of my price range not all of them are unaffordable. Tthere are a few things I want so bad this being one of them:

Glam Rock Women's Miami Watch

Wedding Wednesday # 7

 The other day, I attended my first Bridal Show.

My maid of honor, drove all the way down to come with me and I was absolutely so excited. 

We arrived at the event, which was free, to find about 300 or so people there. It was quite packed but we were still able to move around quite freely.

There were so many different vendors, raffles & fun things to do that I felt completely overwhelmed. 

So K and I went to each vendor to see what everyone offered and to try and win all the fun raffles!

To my surprise, I actually won. 

I wont a gift certificate for 100 dollars to a health and fitness spa!!

I am super excited to use it, but intend on waiting until the middle of this semester when I become quite stressed!
I also got a free oven mit, which is super cute & they had a free photobooth to take pictures in.
I am hoping to attend many more of these as it was so fun & the prizes were amazing!!

♥ 

While there, I also picked up a new gorgeous palette by Laura Mercier. 

 The colors look bad here because this was taken with my phone, but it is absolutley gorgeous.

Here is a picture of it taken off Sephora, you can purchase this for 48 dollars!

I love it. The eye shadows are a perfect mix of colors and the blushes are so pretty, it is such a perfect spring palette!!

Back to studying!!

xoxo.

Breathe, Breathe, Breathe

Okay, just breathe. 

In 6 days I will be taking the most important test of my life.  

I am kind of freaking out because of course I procrastinate, however, I still have 6 days of studying left. 

I purchased a huge study guide to study from and as soon as I finish this post I will be muting Sex in the City on E and reading my little tush off. 

Hopefully I can pull of some of this if I get stuck:

My test is multiple choice, so I really do no think it will come to that, but I am still very nervous. It is like the regent of my program to put it into comparison.

♥

Tonight, I ran a wonderful 2.5 miles. 

I have worked out for 8 days straight & I feel incredible! 

I am really trying to get back into my half marathon shape & even better.

I would love to lose about 5lbs and have abs.

What a wonderful thought!

However, I also just made the most delicious chocolate chip cookies ever!

♥ 

Also, at work yesterday my gorgeous fiance surprised me with the cutest surprise ever. 

 He walked right into my work and gave me a single orange rose. 

It was so adorable, spontaneous and just adorable.

He made me blush so much!! 

♥ 

Well better get off to studying!! Tomorrow I am headed to a Bridal show & am very excited. Lots of details on that next time!

Complete and Utter Frustration

As a blogger I tend to try to keep my posts happy and fun.

However, once in a while I use this as an outlet to some of my frustrations.

Kind of like a diary, and mostly because I love all of your input and truly value what you all have to say.

Well today is one of those times that I must use this as a way to distress or I am going to explode!!
Alright.
So as most of you know I am finishing up my last few credits of graduate school.
I can not wait to be done for many reasons.
Consisting of not wanting any more debt, ready to be done with purchasing textbooks and long classes, late nights and stress. Most of all I am ready to move out of college housing. 
My fiance and I live together but due to the fact that we are both students and have to work limited hours during the semester, college housing is the option that made most sense. We live in a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house which is awesome, but the sharing with other people is not so awesome.
Last semester it worked out great. 
My fiance and I lived with a really good friend of mine and another kid who hardly ever leaves his room and is quiet and keeps to himself and is clean!
However, my friend got an internship in her hometown and moved back leaving a bedroom open.
Well my awesome landlord, although doing the best job that he could filled the room with someone he thought would be appropriate for our needs.
Our needs being someone who understands that we have to wake up early for internship, go to bed early, are not partiers & people who keep the apartment very clean.
Well this new roommate said this was no problem and stated that these needs described his needs as well. 
Let me start of by saying, we are in no way unreasonable. We aren't people who go to bed at like 9pm, or anything like that. Just people who go to bed at a reasonable hour and take school seriously. 
Also I am not like ridiculously obsessed with a clean apartment.
Just do you dishes in a reasonable time, don't mess with my things, and if you make a mess on the counter clean it up.
Does anyone think I am sounding unreasonable?

So move in new roommate.

The very first night he started off by telling my fiance and I how he loves to buy expensive beers & typically has a beer a night to unwind. Oh and also that he intends to brew his own beer in our apartment.. awesome.  

We explain to him we are really not drinkers and although we do drink once in a while it is more for celebrations and once in a while occasions. Here we also explain our early schedules and how we keep our apartment clean.

So from here on he:

Doesn't take his shoes off at the door tracking in all the salt and dirty snow all over my JUST vacuumed carpets and floors.

Removes my just washed still wet dishes from MY strainer and puts them all on the counter including my silverware and cups rims down so where our mouths go on the counter tops he just dirtied.

Leaves a mess all of the counter without wiping it down.

Decided to make bread and did a shotty job at wiping up the flower and missed cleaning it up off the floor and left if all over my crock pot.

When I asked him not to take my dishes out of the strainer when they are wet and if he does take them out when they are dry to make sure he doesnt put the part where our mouths touch on the counter, he decided to not use the strainer any more and use all of OUR paper towels to dry his dishes.

Takes all our dishcloths and leaves them randomly all over the kitchen without putting them away.

Sets off the smoke detector everytime he cooks.

Yells on the phone until late hours of the night and sleeps with his tv on super loud. 

I have tried talking to him a few times however, things are not getting much better.

I end up having to clean up after him because I am unwilling to let the kitchen be disgusting for more than 3 days.

I am thinking about talking to the landlord because I am not going to deal with getting no sleep during internship and will absolutley not pay for the stains hes causing to our carpets with is shoes. 

He makes me wanna freakkkkk out!!!

Well any advice, comments, similar stories or empathy will be greatly appreciated!!

Mostly I just needed a place to vent. 

Thanks♥

xoxo!
