My Keurig

I really enjoy this machine. It takes little "kcups" of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. You don't have to clean anything other than the cup. You can adjust the temperature, the cup size, and it is easy to refill with water. It fits perfectly on my new coffee station. It is very cute, and makes brewing coffee in the morning very fun. Thanks Lucy!
The kcups are about .40 each when you buy a pack of 24. It came with about 5 boxes of 12. It was easy to set up, it looks fancy, and it is very fun to use. I created this little coffee station so I can provide a home for my Keurig, but I hope to move in a espresso machine at some point :) I am definitely going to be drinking a lot more coffee and tea now at home.

Mission Impossible

My mission this month was to survive my last stretch of classes.  Is it still not August 8th?

M-F Physics class and homework
TWR Abnormal 4:00pm to 6:00pm
TWR Physics Lab 7:15pm to 10:00pm
Saturday European History 1848 - all day writing papers

All of my classes are going great, minus physics. Physics is information overload in one month. I am far from confident I will survive. Last week I was called in to work 8-5pm. Bad idea. Could I swing this schedule somehow? I was able to do well on my first Abnormal Psychology exam and have been maintaining high B in Euro History, with plans to raise the grade... but I don't think I can fit electrical fields, magnetism, and 2 hour labs. I was doing well toward the beginning of the week, but once my midterm began to approach, the hours at work began to take a toll on me. Leaving my lab at 10pm, bouncing up in the morning to arrive to work by the lake by 8am, then bouncing to school, and then lab again and the whole cycle over and over for 4 days... that was my limit. The outcome, was negative...

I decided to take a break today, and clean up the house and spend time with the family. I am dreaming of the day that I could go on a road trip.

Quote of the day:


"Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?" 


On a good note, Herbie is so cute. I miss him, but I hope to spend more time with him soon.
