Busy week, man.

And here we are again. Whoops about the no blogging, but things have been busy this week. I finished my final project a couple hours ago for my class so now I'm done with school work for three weeks, which is a nice vacation. The final project actually came together really well because each piece of the research proposal we had to draft had been required of us earlier in the semester, so I basically just had to do the same thing on a different topic. I guess the professor knew what he was doing after all. Whomp whomp.

But yes, this week was busy what with school and work and softball and doctor's appointments, but now I get a bit of a break. The students aren't in class anymore until the first week of September and I don't even have to work next Saturday. Of course, I've basically used this free time to cram in every possible thing I need to do for the rest of my life, so there's that. I have PT and softball tomorrow and an exercise class scheduled every day from Tuesday through the following Tuesday. Yikes! I guess we'll see what happens. My Google calendar looks a little crazyface.

Ugh, craziness going on with my paycheck, though, which may keep me from doing anything fun for a while. Basically, I'm getting taxed on my tuition because GWU views it as income, which wouldn't be a problem, except that instead of adding $150 to my taxes, it's adding $400+ to my taxes, and since I'm not actually making any more money, all that money is coming out of what was already too small of a paycheck. So I guess real personal training is out for the foreseeable future. Good thing I have some Groupons. (Also, saving for a down payment is out, paying my credit card bill, paying my phone bill, storage unit rental, car insurance, gas money....) Yeah, I'm really not sure how this is going to work.

I was featured in my company's newsletter this week. There's a picture and everything. Several of my coworkers commented on it. I found it awkward.

But I also get to hang out with my awesome coworkers at softball tomorrow night! It's our last game of the season and we've done pretty well. I, personally, have done very well the last couple of games, including the game-winning RBI in the rain in our last game. We're having an after-party post-game tomorrow night so that should be fun. I actually really like my coworkers. It would be cool to, you know, be work friends with them and maybe go out for happy hour like a normal 20-something and not go immediately home to my parents' house every night where I watch NCIS and go to bed.

And, because Sarah specifically requested more nail polish pictures, China Glaze Pink Voltage.

My camera could only seem to capture this as a regular pink, but my cell phone got the full neon effect, so I'm putting up the lower quality picture. Gorgeous.

Oh, and I promise I don't take pictures of my nail polish while I'm driving. I was sitting in my car waiting for softball to start so I decided to take a picture. Just to reassure everyone.
