so yeah, i think i need motivation. i think while trying to get into the groove of getting back in to studying, i need some self motivation. i got in about 1 hour of studying yesterday. told myself all day at work that i need to spend the night studying,  and not go on a bike ride w/ lou. hmm well, i transferred all my books to the guest room/craft room..hehe whatever you'd like to call it. i worked on a problem, i checked facebook. i worked on problem, i checked my email. i worked on a problem, then started listening to the colbert report on tv from the living room. yeah, i have a problem getting motivated right now. i was SO good last time when i had studied for another portion of my exam. if i stayed home to study i'd only use my phone for the alarm to go off  when to take a break, i'd put on my earplugs or some classical music to block out anything that might distract me, or i'd leave the house to study. bah, motivation come back...please? geez i sound like such a freaking whiner.

and then after dinner..i was weak. hehe gave in to watching more of the big bang theory season2 until our thursday shows come on. c'mon, thursdays have the best lineup!!! hmm maybe hubby's right...we've been watching too much tv lately...but seriously, the shows have gotten way better. for sure it ain't no TGIF days=P..but they're good! good thing we finished our anime's before i got into this new regime. i better stay away from looking up new j-dorama's to watch too!

*sigh* it's slowly hitting me that we won't get our annual march/april vacay. boo! my fault i know. but i really want to go somewhere already. heheh yes we did just get back from a mini east coast trip..but going international is on a whole new level! geez that sounds snotty huh? though i did love boston, way more than i though i would. i've been putting off visiting boston bc of their dang sports teams..ugh, yuck, blehhhhhhh! but, ate & bro-in-law keep telling us how beautiful boston is and that we'd really like it. guess it was a plus that since the carreon's were out in jersey now, we can see them too! so we went, and i looooooved it. the only bad thing was being there the weekend after the colts lost to the jets=(..and then being surrounded by pats fans on the weekend of their first playoff game, ehhh. but it was a great trip. such a different vibe over there.

the people were way more friendly than i had thought. guess sports just gives us a jaded attituted towards the locals=P. what i really loved though was just roaming through the city and seeing how historical that city is. i guess i got the same feeling when we first visited philly. i dunno, it's crazy how much history took place in those cities. and then to see all the historical sites/buildings surrounded by the high rises and more modern buildings was pretty sweet. i'm dorky like that. totally loved staring at the architecture of the buildings. when we were at the boston library we walked through the halls and got glimpses of the courtyard. sooo pretty bc of the snow that had fallen a few days earlier..but what i really liked were the archways=P. just reminded me of our trip to italy and visiting the doge's palace. hehe. sillies. but yeah..maybe i'll put up some pics later of the trip.

i loved our amtrak ride from boston to ny too! i love trains in general, y'know must be the engineering nerd in me i guess? i mean i've only taken metrolink & amtrak from work to home so the views i've seen were nothing compared to passing through rhode island and connecticut (why is the "c" silent? i always wondered that. same as arkansas..why not spell it arkansaw!..heheh i digress..). our nj/ny visit was pretty relaxing. it's a good thing we had previously visited ny before bc we got all the touristy stuff out of the way. i told danielle that our visit w/ them just felt like a relaxing sleepover=P. so much hustle and bustle visiting boston, and we finally got to slow it down and sleep in when we stayed with them. hehe thanks again you guys!=).

wow, long post...lunch is over..time to finish up the work..bleh, before the storm hits next monday=(..not gonna be fun w/ all these rush projects coming in. but hey, lucky to have a job right? yup.
