30 day shred day 3

OH MY GOD. Is it just me or does thirty seconds seem like an eternity sometimes, especially during the pushups and the jumprope. ARGH! I still can't do pushups. I mean I do the girly ones with my news bent and i still can only go down like an inch. And I cannot do them continously for thirty seconds.
Oh, and you know what really makes me mad. Is natalie. She totally cheats during the lunge bicep curl thing. And if wouldn't bother me so much, if later Jillian goes. See they don't cheat. YES YES NATALIE DOES. I get angry every time now.

30 day shred day 1

Holy cow. I was sweating like a pig. I would have to say this seems to be working by how hard I was breathing and sweating. But we shall see. Who knew that I couldn't keep moving for twenty minutes??? Seriously. I think I did pretty good for not really doing any working out other than the elliptical every once in awhile. I'm staring the shred at 137 and a size 7 pants. We shall see where this goes.

Check

So My former college just sent me a refund check. I was like, hmm... why would I be getting this? So I sent them an email asking just that. The standard reply came back, saying they would get back to me in 48 hours. I am not a very patient person, So I called them yesterday. I asked if it was a mistake, and they said No it is not. It is your money, you overpaid. WOOHOO. I get all excited thinking of the multiple bills and savings this money would be going to.
BAM. I arrive home and there is an email from them. Saying that they need to look into it forward and that I should NOT cash the check. BOOHOO.
While I do believe it is a mistake, it was so nice to be told that it was not. And then I got completely excited, and now I am let down. Only time will tell.

Weekend.

• This friday Meggo and I had a great time at the Sox game, even though they lost. It was kinda fun getting there super early. And I got a white sox tattoo on my cheek for a dollar, just because I'm that cool.
• We GOT MAIL!!! we got mail finally.
• SICK. i had a extra large headache on saturday and took a five hour nap.
• Sunday Oscar and I went to Great America. We had so much fun. There was no one there. We rode 7 roller coasters and the Rajun Cajun in 3 hours. 3HOURS people. that is such a short time. Last summer, we had to wait for 2 hours just to get on them! It was Amazing. It was also really chilly when you were going on the rides, it would have been perfect if it was like five degrees warmer. We also went to Gurnee Mills outlet. It took so long to walk through the whole thing. I got earrings to wear this friday. And Oscar got new shoes.
• I am trying, trying, trying, to find a store that sells the Reebok Easy Tone, because I want to try them on, before I spend 100 dollars on them. But alas, in that huge mall there was not one shoe store that carried them. And we know this cause we looked in all of them.

Broken Step

So apparently Oscar was right. They stopped delivering our mail because our stoop has a broken step on it. Which is fine. But why oh why didn't they tell us they were stopping our mail. We found out cause Oscar went to the post office and they told him. He either had to fix the stoop or put the mailbox on ground level. Since we are currently shopping around for someone to come and fix the stoop, Oscar moved the mailbox. But the Post Office refused to give him the two weeks of mail that is sitting at the post office. Hopefully they deliver it today when they come, if not Oscar is going to the post office again.
The post office supervisor said that they should have notified us, but we had no idea. I am planning on filing a complaint.
I hope after the Sox game tonight, I have mail!

Finally, it is complete.

So I have finally heard back from NTEC. My application is officially complete. WOOHOO. This means they will be sending my information to Quincy and then IF they accept me they will send me some more stuff I have to fill out. This should be sent out after the application deadline which is the 13th. They said it will take about two weeks to find out. Which means I should find out around my birthday. I am also taking the skills test I need for the special education certification. I am taking this in July. I've already passed the basic skills, so I just need this one. Then hopefully, I'll pass the first semester with flying colors, and pass the jumpstart program with flying colors, cause then I can try and get a teaching job this fall, as opposed to next fall.
Keep your fingers crossed!

Mail. where are you?

We have not gotten any mail for a week. It is driving me crazy. I know that there has to be some mail. We should have two netflix, and who knows what else. We are pretty sure that the bills we get in the mail, we have gotten. Please mail fairy figure this out. I'm pretty sure that the tenents have misplaced it in the house. But Oscar doesn't want to be rude and ask them again, since we have asked them like three times! ARGH....
