I'm dreading tomorrow

I'm starting to hate Tuesday and Thursday, not because of my classes but because I have to be at work practically all day. It is going to be a long day.

I bought new shampoo the other day and it is 98% natural. My hair is growing a lot. Right now I have it braided up in a protective style. Ok about this shampoo, I got it for a really good deal. That was one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place. I went to Sprout's (which is an organic store) to buy some fruits and veggies. I decided since I was there to stop by their Health and Beauty aisle and I notice that they had Burt's Bees shampoo and conditioner on sale. I've been wanting to try their shampoo out for a while, and these were only like 4 bucks a piece compared to their usual 9 dollars. So I picked up the More Moisture Raspberry and Brazil Nut shampoo and conditioner, because my hair has been dry and I thought this would be a nice change for my hair. I have been co washing my hair and I haven't found a shampoo that I liked and the co washing with the conditioner has been keeping my hair clean so I felt like if I didn't like the shampoo I could just give it to someone else. Well anyway I get home and I decide to try these two products out. The shampoo has a nice smell, and it doesn't really lather up. That isn't really a bad thing but I  felt paranoid, it felt like my scalp and hair wasn't getting clean and then I probably ended up using too much shampoo to over compensate for the lack of suds. When I rinsed the shampoo out my hair felt like crap, it literally felt so dry and so brittle. I don't know why????? I then used the conditioner just like recommended on the bottle. The consistency of the conditioner was thick and creamy, which I loved. The smell was wonderful and after rinsing out made my hair feel healthy and soft. I will add this conditioner to my hair regimen but as far as the shampoo I'm not too sure about. Maybe I will look on the internet for things I can mix with it or dilute it with something, I have no idea. I do know that I will continue to used the conditioner in the future.

see the thing is....

I need a redo...seriously. I am trying to keep up with this blog starting today. My day started out really bad but then it turned out really great.

The day started out just like any other Tuesday. I actually woke up pretty refreshed, figured out what I was going to where and headed out to work because I didn't have class until 2:00pm. Me and Nisha are driving along about to pull into the commuter west parking lot when all of a sudden one of her tires busted. We immediately decided to call a mechanic and we found a lovely one, a nice guy who I had fix my car when one of the sensors went out. At the shop they fixed the car for cheap... well it was like 160 bucks and then we went on our way. I felt bad because we noticed her tire was a little flat and we went to Discount Tire to have them put more air in it and they told us to have it replaced, but we didn't so it cost us in the end. On the plus side I didn't go to work or class.

Later the Fed Ex guy shows up at our door and does the little knock and drop thing I open the package he left and it was the book that I ordered for my Macro Theory class. I was trying to save money and my professor said that I could order the past edition because the only thing that was different were the page numbers essentially. I find the 6th edition of the text book for 21 bucks on Amazon, but when I opened the box I found that I was staring at the cover of the 7th edition which happens to be the current edition. I just saved 180 dollars. I'm hoping that this will continue with the other books I purchased.

Ok now I am extremely content with my day and the Fed Ex guy comes back to my porch and tells me that he forgot one of my boxes and it was my new laptop. I've been waiting a while for it but finally it is here, so maybe my posts will be more frequent. I've been spending much of the time trying to transfer my pictures and files so I can't wait till that is all complete.

Things are going to change for me

I feel like the time has come for me to make a change in my life...health wise. I've set goals for myself and I know I will achieve them soon. I also will be later in this blog trying to keep up with my progress. I've taken the beginning steps by taking some before pictures as well as my measurements, because I think it will be helpful to me as a source of encouragement to myself and others. I can do it. I am also in the process of growing my nails so there might be some product reviews on that, as well as some natural products for my skin, hair, and nails. I am excited about my future and I can't believe I waited this long to do healthy things for myself.

Oh I'm also challenging myself to only drink water this entire week and nothing else... So I will hopefully blog about my journey with my new lifestyle daily as well as my new workout regime.

276... What

I haven't posted in some time now... I've just been down in the dumps lately. I don't know if it's because I'm stressed about school or what. I've been kind of depressed and I have no confidence in myself about anything. I have absolutely no energy and I really want to make a positive change in my attitude and the way I think of myself. I feel like no one loves me and my mind always goes to this thought every couple of months. I don't want to be alone, I shouldn't feel like this.

Fall is here

Well technically it's the second day of fall and the high is still 94 today but I know temperatures are going to dip down soon. I love fall weather. I get to wear cute jackets, beautiful scarfs, and boots. I can't wait. I decided to get a new hairstyle two weeks ago and I now have a huge twist out Afro it is so cute, big hair all the way. I've been getting alot of compliments from people so that makes me happy. I also redecorated my room and our bathroom a tiny bit. More floral and colorful. Work is ok, my classes are extremely hard...econometrics is going to be the death of me. Oh tomorrow is Nisha's 21st birthday so we are going out to eat and going out for drinks (thanks mom) so it will be great, and shoe shopping that's always fun. I need to stop Internet shopping. I keep stumbling upon cool websites and I end up spending all of my money on make-up, shoes, and natural hair care products. I have to save for my India trip. What am I going to do when I'm out on my own and in the real world.

So little to say.....

But so much time, despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Well my summer is technically over and the fall semester starts this Thursday, how sad. This past summer session I made a B and a B+, so that wasn't bad.

I'm going to India in July! Bangalore and if I'm lucky Mumbai,I'm so lucky. I plan on stuffing my face with delicious food, shopping, visiting amazing temples and visiting the financial sectors of both cities (I need to sort of make this educational) I plan on using money from christmas and my birthday to fund this trip as well as possibly money from family members that might want to sponsor me.

I am currently at work, my boss left to do an interview, he should be back any minute. My computer is still broken so I will be getting a new one soon, in the meantime this iPhone will have to suffice. This makes blogging a little more difficult

I FAIL....

I have come to the realization that I will never be a professional blogger, or even a semi-professional blogger. I guess I am more content with my bench warmer approach to this blog, every month or so I will contribute a sprinkle of madness that I will so happen to jot down while my laptop is infront of me. I don't know.

I am so confused with things right now, I've decided I will be moving when the spring semester is over, no matter what. Goodbye Texas Tech University hello some school somewhere on the east coast, I have yet to decide where exactly, but I have 10 months to figure this out.

I didn't get that internship, but thats not going to keep me down, I'm still going to be an acomplished economist by the time i'm 30.

I also am vowing now to not spend any money on things that I don't need. I waste so much money and now I need to buy a new computer, pay for my summer 2 classes, and eventually have money for when I move. So it's going to be hard but I can do it, besides I've been working more and I should have the money for Tech in Aug and the computer....

Being an adult sucks... and I haven't asked my parents for any money in months. I like being independent, and I now think that everything that I want now and in the future I can achieve all by myself.

I need to get back to studying
