Almost July Currently!

Linking up with Farley a day early for the July Currently! (Hey, Hey this month I'm not late with it!)


Listening: For some reason Elf is on TV right now; maybe they have the whole "Christmas in July" Theory, but it's okay because I love this movie! Also, my boyfriend has been dog sitting his sister's dogs for the the past 10 days and we're getting ready to take them back to his sister's now! They're too cute though :-(

Loving: For 2 months I was debating what gym to join! I finally decided to go back to Lifetime (for some reason I always end up back there-it's just amazing, and I can't wait to start! I have my health and  fitness assessment on Tuesday-that should be interesting!!

Thinking: I really need to get my butt in gear! I have so much that I want to organize for work and home! And definitely a lot more purging to be done! Especially so I can set up one of the spare rooms and an office and creation station for myself and then the other space I want as a nice, neat, organized storage area for all the stuff I don't need to unpack (i.e. kitchen stuff).  For work I have just bags and bags of stuff that I bought for my classroom and NOTHING is organized or set up with it! AND I still haven't sorted through everything I brought home to purge, organized any of it, created anything I wanted to for school, or feel like I'm any where near ready to go back in 6 weeks!! Hopefully they'll call soon saying my new classroom is ready; I feel like that'll get me motivated to get off my butt and get moving!!

Wanting: My master's to be done! It is driving me crazy! Okay not really crazy, but it's almost like I have super bad senioritis, making me procrastinate && not want to work on it! lol I have 4 weeks until my graduation ceremony, 5 weeks until all my internship stuff is due, and 7 weeks until I finish my final class! I have 1 week left of my class I'm in now, then 5 weeks of the other class (my last one), and I'm officially done with Master's #1! Just have to try and keep the half full attitude....and keep going to starbucks away from some distractions to get this work done!

Needing: Like I said before I need to get motivated to get all the purging, cleaning, organizing, and project making done for both my home life and my school life. I'm also needing to get working on my master's work right now...

Tips, Tricks, or Hints:  I only started a blog a few months ago, and only just recently really had time to start using it.  I'm still definitely learning as I go, and often get frustrated, but have definitely gotten better with that! Leading into my tip: Just go with it! It doesn't have to be perfect and it definitely won't be when you first start so just roll with it! I take any suggests and go with them because they will only help me become a better blogger! Am I where I want to be right now with blogging? No but I know I will get there with it!

Second Tip: Join Linky Parties!  I have learned so much from even just participating in the Currently linky. I do have about 4 more posts you'll be seeing after this because I found more to join!  Plus they are tons of fun to participate in and you get to meet new people in the blogging world!  Just make sure you follow the requirements! :-)

  1. You're almost there -congratulations on being nearly finished with your Masters! And have fun at the gym. We need a way to work off the challenges of our profession - it's amazingly rewarding and amazingly challenging!

    1. Thanks! I can't wait to be done with it! Just wish I wouldn't have procrastinated on my internship activities because now I have to try and get them all done! I am so glad I rejoined a gym. I was a hard decision which one to join, but for some reason I always get drawn back to Lifetime so I just bit the bullet on the price and went with it! Hopefully it'll have help the stress again - especially this summer!

    1. Thanks! I just have fun with them! Plus when I feel like I don't have something to blog about (i.e. since I'm not on TPT making things yet - maybe after I get this whole blogging thing down), they give me an idea!
