So, I know I haven't been on lately. I do know I have been incredibly stressed due to school and issues with the beau. I don't really want to go into it, but this whole experience has shown me what some deal breakers are and has also alighted the issue of what happens when I hold my stress in my shoulders.
I get tense. That's what happens.
Then a masseuse has to kneed my skin to the point where I'm sore the next day to clear anything up.
But, you all know how life is. It's stressful. I guess my poor shoulders will just have to deal.
Anyway, that was a small update on why I've been away. This here, what I'm writing about next, is a small update about why there won't be much of me on here in November.
I am going to do National November Writing Month.
For those of you who don't know what that is, that is a month where one attempts to write 50,000 words throughout the course of November.
My novel is going to be a story of made up of short stories. Some will be on the "main course" and some will be on completely different tangents that don't seem to have anything to do with the story except for the fact that they're in the same general area that the story is taking place in.
I'm sort of excited for it, and I know it's going to take a lot of my time up. But, I mean, that's good. Especially when the only things I'm doing really, are work and school.
Perhaps I've found my "thing," my niche. Perhaps I'm a writer, and perhaps I'm a rider. Maybe both.
Either way, I'm excited for the near future.
I'm off to study now! Love and Peace!

New habits forming
This week will be different. This week, I'll actually sit down and get my shit DONE.
I know I say that every week, but I really need to turn myself around so I'm really going to follow through with this. If I don't, grades will sink, I'll get depressed, and the world will end. So it really is just better to get disciplined and do this.
Also, I've found a new project and that is drawing. Just like Chelsea (you should check out her blogs, I'm following most of them), but I'll never be as good as her. I'd just like my doodles to not suck and something to do with my hands when I'm bored. Especially in class when my psych prof keeps going on and I've been lost completely in a sea of things I can just read the book for.
Finally, the boyfriend and I are acting like an old married couple already. We got in an argument about finances. You see, I want horses and our job choices don't exactly pay the best. However, combined, I think we'd be able to live a pretty decent life. Especially if we board out some stalls and budget accordingly. Even with kids.
I'm really happy that he's thinking about the future with me and that we can argue openly over stuff like this. Because he's so serious about stuff like this, he balances me out when it comes to me making emotional decisions.
Uh... what else can I update you on... Oh! I get to see my mom before Thanksgiving! She's coming up next Friday! Which is amazing, but it'll make it that much harder to leave Friday night. Why does work have to get in the way of everything? Oh well, more money more me and Japan.
Something else that is really interesting, is that I have been meditating a lot and I'm slowly seeing a difference in myself. I feel a lot calmer and a lot less stressed after I quiet my mind for a little bit. Finally, things seem to be falling into place. Even if school doesn't let up until a break.
I'm off to study for Psych. I was going to do science, but I feel like it's one of those subjects that you either know or don't. It's not something you can really study for if you get my drift.
Love and Peace!

Positivity
Things are looking up. I've learned a few things these past few days.
The first: I'm not the one messing up my register. I know this because yesterday, when I was the only one using it, I was spot on. Not off by anything. Which tells me that it's one of the other gazillion people who use my register when I can't.
The second: The beau and I made up. It was very nice and I miss him tons... as usual. Thankfully time keeps on moving forward so slowly, I'm being ushered into his arms.
The third: I got my hair trimmed again and bought some of this oil stuff that keeps it soft and conditioned. I'm not sure if my hair is soft today because of that, or because of the deep moisturizer I used today. I'll just have to keep experimenting.
The fourth: I got to see Courage and meet her beau FINALLY. He's really nice. Not my taste, but perfect for her. I'm glad they're really happy together. But poor Kara. She's not so excited. However, she'll understand the need to spend every spare minute you have with this person when she gets her own boyfriend.
I'm not sure what else to say. But I'm really glad things are starting to look up. Maybe this week won't suck so much.
Love and Peace

Proper Update
I suppose I should give all of you a proper update seeing as how I haven't been doing that lately, and how I have the time right now.
Things are alright enough. I mean, I'm recovering from a pretty stressful week.
It was stressful in the fact that I didn't get to sleep much and felt like I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. A lot of that had to do with the fact that it took me forever to fall asleep and I kept waking up early. Getting roughly four hours of sleep a night. Maybe a little more or less. I wasn't exactly keeping track.
Well, apparently, I am one of those people that needs to sleep nightly. I sort of turned neurotic and crazy. Thank God for the types of people my friends are. They're so patient. Even when I'm just a hot mess they shake it off and continue to me there.
This weekend was really nice even though it was busy. I didn't start off this week as strong as I'd have liked to due to being busy and such a procrastinator, but I think it'll be a lot better than last week. Even if I do have to work this weekend.
Looking forward, I know I have to work three weekends in a row, but I need the money. I'm very frustrated with Kleiner at the moment, but I really need the money so I'll get through it. Hopefully I'll get to the end of this semester with just a few cuts and scrapes. Nothing like getting fired from your job or failing a class to put a damper on the holiday spirits.
Speaking of holidays, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I'm surprised at how fast the months are going by. It's strange because it feels like the days are inching by, but when the week is through, it feels like the end came very fast. Hopefully, this doesn't happen in Japan. I want the days to go by as slow as possible so I can enjoy every minute I have with the boyfriend.
Tonight is going to be busy-ish. I mean, I have to come home after my 6-9 and write a french paper and journal. Then tomorrow and Wednesday will be a lot easier because I'll have more time to get things done and unwind. Anyway you look at it, this week is certainly looking up.
Alright, I'm going to go figure out what I want to make for dinner.
Much Love!
Elie

Sleep
It's amazing how much a little sleep can do for a person. Like a good night's rest.
On a different, but slightly related note, I love my boyfriend!!

Quick update
Hey my wonderful readers!
A couple of things.
1. When I post comments on your blogger blogs, they just disappear. So I don't know if you need to check your comments sections to see them or if there's something wrong with my computer.
2. There's a Ren Faire at school this weekend that I'm drumming in! If you're in the area please come check it out!
3. I cleaned my room! It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I'm always amazed at how much better I feel once it's done.
That is all!
Love and Peace
Elie

Feeling Down
I'm feeling a little down today, and I'm not really sure why.
Maybe because it's rainy, maybe because I'm tired, maybe because Rick broke my heart with his latest book, maybe because I miss the boyfriend.
That's too many maybes for me, and none of them change the fact that I feel so "ugh."
Oh well, hopefully this will clear up soon.
Love,
Elle

MY LIFE JUST ENDED
SERIOUSLY, WHY DO AUTHORS LOVE TO PUNISH THEIR READERS!
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME RICK?! I TRUSTED YOU! I PUT MY HEART IN YOUR HANDS AND TRUSTED YOU WOULDN'T STOP ON IT AND TURN IT INTO LITTLE BITS OF DUST AFTER GIVING IT A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS.
THIS IS BULLSHIT. BECAUSE OF YOU, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY LIFE ANYMORE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT SUCKS ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION?!
I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE GODDAMNED YEAR UNTIL I GET THE NEXT BIT OF THIS LONG ASS STORY.
FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH.
I'm going to bed.
