What a Wonderful Week

Remember my list of goals that I set on Monday for the week to run more smoothly? Well, here is an update! My week was so good. Best week I've had in a while!:)

1. no facebook....ok so maybe this one didn't go too well.. I still went on it.. but not very often! before, I would catch myself on there and hours would fly by and I still would have a big pile of homework waiting for me, but this week I still went on, but only a few minutes a day. Everything in moderation, right?:)
2. Starting homework right away instead of procrastinating till 8 or 9:00....this went so amazingly! I would start around 3 or 4 and by 7:00 I would be so confused because there was nothing else I needed to get done! haha that feeling is the best kind of high:) then I could relax and read a book (that I wasn't for my English class, haha) or just have leizure time, which on a school night, is rare for me to have without knowing I had homework waiting for me. I could also do the homework with more concentration and focus, because that's very difficult when you're drifting to sleep and you're trying to analyze a poem or multiply matrices. Ahhhh this one was best on my list.
3. Go to bed before 11...psh this one I didn't even have to think about! I was in bed no later than 9:30 every night. And it was all because of number 2:) And it's so amazing how my week was just better and I was just happier in general when I was running on 7 hours of sleep instead of like...4:)
4. Finish every homework assignmet....yes I finished everything! every night! and again, I'm tellin' ya! it was all because of number 2!!
5. Wash my face every night.... ehh yeah this went well for the most part. I think 1 or 2 days I didn't wash my face...but I'm just trying to get in the habit. and my face is starting to clear up a little:)
6. wash my hair at least every 2 days.... ahaha. nope, failed. I washed my hair on Sunday and then yesterday, on Friday. Don't judge me people. hahahaha. oh well, at least this didn't affect how my week went:)
7. No teasing my hair....another BAHAHAHAH moment. I lasted Monday without teasing it and after Monday, I couldn't do it again. Just one of those things.... but oh well, I'm sure if I followed through on this one, I would feel ugly and hideous every day and that would sorta make my week not as wonderful.

So there ya have it. My wonderful, productive week. Now I know that in order for mostly everything to go smoothly ALL THE TIME, I just need to do #2 every single day. I think my junior year is going to be soooo different if I do.

Some random thoughts.....

I have been loving my friend Alyssa's blog. We were best friends in middle school and she just left a couple weeks ago to be a foreign exchange student in FRANCE! yes I know, but if anyone can do it, it's her! she is so dang smart! Her blog is so entertaining and I love reading it. It makes me feel somewhat cultured, through all the culture she is soaking up:)

My school is doing Les Miserables for our spring play.:) I know, insane. You're probably thinking a high school could never put on Les Mis....And you're probably right:) haha but we'll see! and my choir has been working on a medley for it, so I've been sort of obsessing over it for the past couple weeks. I've never seen the actual play, but I watched the whole 10th anniversary concert on youtube and it is just amazzzzzzzzzzing. Ahhh. Here is my dream role...Fantine....I know I'm crazy.....:) watch this. Holy heavens, Ruthie Henshall.....amazing.

I'm playing a piano solo in church tomorrow, so I've been working on that a lot...hmmm

Oh and WE'RE MOVING in a couple weeks!!! I'm way excited because our new house is literally twice as big as our house now, and I'm so excited to be in my new ward!:) And the new house is only a couple miles down the road, so not too drastic of a change! But at the same time, I'm gonna miss my ward now, and It's going to be a big change, moving from the house you've known for the past 6 years! that's like about a third of my life! But oh well, the fact that Brinley and I get our own bathroom makes up for everything sad!:) ha jk, but seriously.

Well...that's about it! Hope everyone has a splendid weekend!:)

I need to set some goals this week. Last week was awful (see previous post. that was like my breaking point of stress). You'd think with having Monday off last week it wouldn't be bad, but it actually was. And I even missed school on Wednesday because I felt so overwhelmed by so much going on like... being behind of homework, not having done laundry in weeks, not washing my hair in days (you know it's bad when you don't have time for that), drama going on, and being so incredibly sleep deprived, like I've never been in my life.....

But now that I look back on last week, I could have done a lot more to prevent that. One thing was not getting my facebook back. Ahhhh. I'm so ashamed. Especially after I ranted on here a couple weeks ago about how my life was soooo good without it. So with facebook and not managing my time in general, me being soooo stressed out was pretty much my fault. So this week is going to be different. I'm going to come up with some goals. Just for this week. Then hopefully eventually I'll be able to make them habits and make them who I am and how I do things.

1. NO FACEBOOK
2. start homework RIGHT when I get home from school and only stop to teach piano
3. go to bed before 11. (this one is going to be hard but I know if I do it, it'll make a HUGE difference)
4. FINISH. EVERY. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT. there is nothing worse than going to school knowing there's some things you didn't get done. ahhh. maybe that's another reason last week gave me such bad vibes, because I was going into almost every, class every day, without having some assignment done or some test that I wasn't prepared for.
5. Wash my face every night. Last week, that definitely got away from me. And my poor, zitty face is definitely a result of that.
6. Wash my hair at least every 2 days. This is honestly going to be hard. I just can't explain how much time it takes when I wash it. Longer time in the shower (when i could be SLEEPING), then more time doing it in the morning (when I could be SLEEPING). and plus, when I don't wash it as much, it turns out soooo much cuter. So why waste time washing when it's even cuter dirty? well...because I want my hair to be healthy for once!
7. Another hair goal, no poofing hair. Today was the first day in probably 2 years I went out into public without it teased. And i wanted to throw up every time I looked in the mirror. Literally. I feel like it's so flat against my face and stringy and sickening and makes me look 50x fatter when it's not poofed, but I know it's all in my head. I'm going to try to go a week without teasing it to get myself used to it-visually- so i can eventually stop doing it all together so I can eventually get healthy hair again. Wow i sound like a drug addict! HAHA

Ok there are my goals. Most serious, some silly. I can't promise I'll blog anytime in the next week...actually I'm going to promise that i WON'T blog in the next week...so I don't get sidetracked...but I will promise to have an update next weekend how my goals went!

Wish me luck, I really need this to happen if I want to be able to balance my life for the next 9 months. (ok that sounds like I'm pregnant. I mean the next 9 months of my junior year). :)

Ultimate Goal = 4.0 all four years ............and temple marriage, of course:)

I'm tired. It's been a loooooong past couple weeks. And all I can say is....
-if freshman/sophomore year were 1's on the "stressful" scale, junior year is a 10
-why does every teacher expect THEIR class to be our #1 priority? does it have to be impossible to be successful at everything?!
-what would i do without sparknotes??
-sacrificing to go to the Temple to do baptisms WILL bring me blessings
-what is our society coming to where there is a brand of underwear with butt padding? ("booty-pop", look it up)

love, haylee
