- I took a little unannounced blogging break, mainly because I worked all last weekend on my law term paper (about a topic I was clueless on) and finishing up some law journals to hand in on Thursday. And then I was busy with that little magazine project you might have heard me mention a time or two. The semester is slowwwly winding down (only 10 days left!) so I’ll be blogging less until I get my feet back from under me.
- In completely awesome news, I finished my magazine today! It has to be the best feeling ever to know I am done and still have over a week to tweak it until it’s due. I’m going to send the file to my professor so he can give me his opinion and critique so I know exactly what I need to fix. This project caused me so much stress and tension but once I found out that my professor liked my magazine, it became so much fun! It didn’t feel like I was doing homework when I was working on this project. And I’m super happy with the way it’s turned out.
- I signed up for 4 courses over the summer, forgetting that my scholarship doesn’t pay for summer classes and my financial aid still hasn’t been reinstated. So I might have freaked out a little bit when I saw my tuition would be around $2,500 which is just a little unaffordable. So I’ll be taking two classes and then hoping to get my scholarship back/financial reinstated for fall so I can take 5 classes and finish up my undergraduate degree!
- I’ve made a lot of changes to this blog while on my “break.” First off, I changed the layout and I love, love, love it! And since I paid money for it, I’m hoping I don’t get bored with it in a month. I tend to do that. I also fixed my blogroll and made a new 101 days list. I loved how clean and simple Lauren’s looked and went for one like hers with the categories which makes it so much easier for me to look at. I had to make some new goals for the ones I already completed, since I started my 1,001 days over, so check it out!
- I have a short three-day workweek next week which I’m thrilled about! That’s two days where I don’t have to wake up before 5am! I took those two days to help with getting everything completed before finals weeks starts and I think I’m going to manage to do everything. Wow! (And the week after that, I took Friday off to recuperate from this semester. I can’t wait!)
- In May, I’m taking on The 30-Day Shred challenge. I think I need a challenge for my exercise life, since I do everything in my power to get out of it. Anyone up to doing the challenge with me? Pretty please?

I did the 30 day shred yesterday! I've done i maybe like 15 times in total at random times and never gotten past leve l1. i like it but i think i would definitely get burnt out if i did it for 30 days straight. Maybe if i didn't have my gym membership I wouldn't though.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely keep at it though because I want to see level 2!! I want to start doing it atleast once a week because my butt is SO sore today which obviously means that I'm not working these muscles well enough at the gym haha
Can I see the magazine?? :D
ReplyDeleteLove the new look :) I would totally be interested in doing the challenge with you!
ReplyDeleteWow, you accomplished a lot in a week. I'm glad your magazine is going so well, because I know you were stressed about that. I'm sure the summer school thing will work out. I can't believe it's almost summer! Crazy! I absolutely love your new layout. I think it suits you really well. It's def. you. I've seen delicious design studio before and thought about buying a premade. They're so darn cute!!! She designs beautiful blogs. I love yours!
ReplyDeleteLoving the new look! I recently changed up my blog too, as you probably know.. also wanted to simplify it and make it look more grown up (just like my maturity level)
ReplyDeleteSo glad yo here you're done with your magazine! You've been working on that since pretty much the beginning of time.
Glad you had a good week! Summer summer summer is coming, I'm pumped :)
Love the new layout! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new look, it's really pretty. And good luck with the Shred... I started it and gave up. I think I need to try again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new look!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the magazine project you keep talking about. What exactly was it? Was it actually a full, real magazine? At any rate, congrats and good job on finishing! I'm sure that's a huge load off :)
Oooh maybe I'll do the challenge with you! I've been thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the layout. And best of luck with the end of the semester!!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually embarking on the 30 Day Shred myself, but I am positive I won't actually complete it in 30 days only because I have a hectic schedule. Otherwise, I'd definitely challenge myself with you. I just know I can't complete it in one month. =/
May GOD Bless you Steph!!! Mark
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your magazine -- still anxious to see it (that is if you ever show us, haha). Cute layout by the way!
ReplyDeleteLoving your layout! And congrats on finishing the mag!! I'm so sorry I didn't stick with helping edit the rest, but I'm glad it became fun in the end!
ReplyDeleteAnd gooooood luck with the 30 day shred! I tried it out for literally 2 days before I knew I was not ready for it at all. But I'm nowhere near as far as you are in the running/jogging/exercising, so I know you can do it :)
Love the new design!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how your 30 day shred challenge goes!
