How bout some pink sunglasses?

Usually, seeing the world through rose-colored glasses is considered a bad thing. It means one is naive, sees too much good, and practically refuses to see bad things happen around them.
Normally, I'd agree-- even though I generally walk around with rose-colored glasses.
But outlook is sooooo very important.
So today, let's examine our outlooks and see how we see the world.


I don't know about you, but pink is one of my favorite shades!


Optimistically yours,
KT

Oh Happy Day!

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.


Yesterday was a bit rough- but it's in the past. Today's a whole new day, so let's all rejoice in it!!
Today's To-Do's:

• Tennis treatments + Practice
• School
• Read Cantos 31-34 of Dante's Inferno
• Read "Recapitulation" of Darwin's On the Origin of Species
• Read Chapter 5 of Strength and Conditioning
• Find tax stuff...
• Trip with the Honors Program
• Percy's House of Pancakes
• Read a bit more of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

And today, all that reading actually looks like fun! 
Happy Thursday,
KT

Ugghhh

I.Just.Wanna.Cry.
Because I accidentally turned in a copy of someone else's work in my Honors Forum class. I had saved it to a word doc in case I wanted to use it/read it/cite it some other time (because I had to join a website, but my access is limited and I could only read that article for 10 days from the time of joining). So yeah, instead of sending my awful paper (thanks to procrastination/being overloaded all the time) I sent someone else's work...


I mean, yes my amazing profs gave me the benefit of the doubt and let me send my actual paper. But STILL...
I just want to cry about it right now. I had thought I'd be all happy-go-lucky for the rest of my hump day... Maybe even work out and get ahead on things. Or at least do a journal entry for each of my Honors Forum classes so far so I won't have to do them at the end of the semester. But right now all I wanna do is wallow in self pity and cry.


:'(
It's been that kind of 1.5 weeks...
*sigh*


Later, I'm gonna pick my pseudo-depressed self back up and be optimistic.
And realize that it's okay. I obviously made an honest mistake and it's fixed now.
Yeah, and I also wanna laugh about it. 


Until I regain some since of the happy-laughateverything-me, I think I might just get that cry in to get over this.


Getting through this storm,
KT

COD

I stink at this game... But for some strange reason it's oh-so-fun!!!
Ooookay, I think it's time to leave the coffee house and get some sleep...


Thought for the night:
Why is college so darn intensive? On the way over here, I was thinking about how I rarely ever stayed up past 1am in high school (and yes, I graduated with a V-word on my sash) so why do I have so many late nights working on projects/studying now?? 
Is it poor time management (and just how do we define this?)
Or is it straight up procrastination? (Oh yeah, that's definitely a factor!)
But why do I procrastinate... Which leads up to the late nights?


Probably has something to do with compulsiveness... I mean, I know I should have gone home an hour ago, but instead I came to the coffee house and played Call Of Duty, which got me all amped up, and now I'm rambling.


Sleepy time folks,
KT

Happy Valentine's Day!

<3
Why yes, it's that day of the year that singles hate and [most] couples love.
But you know what? Being single on V-day ain't so bad.
Today, instead of moping about my single-state, I got to rejoice in my roomies new relationship, (this isn't gossip, they are as official as a whistle!) and spend time with some amazing friends. 
For lunch, one of my friends whom I call "my love" bought me a Valentine's cookie.. Too cute! It had pink icing + a pink sprinkle heart. <3 
Then for dinner, I enjoyed Mr. G's con tres amigos. 


Oh yea-- I made an A on my medical aspects test this morning.


Thank you, God for awesome Mondays!


Now, if you don't mind, please help me stay sane and have a productive Tuesday...


xoxo

Quote of the Day

A bit of a cop-out for today's post... I'm giving you a quote from a web page I'm reading at the moment. [Hopefully] there will be a Christ-inspired post to come, and it'll be edifying!

"A true Christian is someone in whom Christ dwells." -taken from Ray Stedman.org 

PA... Let's just do it later.

P.A. 
Procrastinator's Anonymous...


Yup, it's 1:07 am at the beginning of this blog post, and yes I am awake because I'm working on a power point project for class. It's due tomorrow at midnight, but I want to finish it before my 8 am class so I can go home before 4 pm.
(My inner, wiser voice) Come on now, KT if you're gonna wait until the night before something is due, you need to focus and just GET IT DONE!!!
(The real me) But I just keep thinking of all these things I wanna blog about!!!!!
Guess who won?
I know that's a toughy, but come one now... Just think for a second longer. That's right, the stupid me won!! I mean, I am wide awake right now, typing away on my blog instead of reading about IT band friction syndrome. I know you're thinking that I'm utterly nuts right now. And yes, to my sole reader, I might just be.
But to anyone reading this, what are your thoughts on procrastination?

• Do you really get your best work done when it's under pressure?
• All my power point projects from last semester were done like the one I'm about to get real on, and yes I actually got good marks on them!
• Is it the stupidest thing you've ever heard of because you're uber organized?
• If so, please lend me some of your tips/tricks, because I'm always up for some improvement!
• Is it bad work ethic, because I'm teaching myself bad habits?
• Because, yeah I'd actually agree with you... See 1st bullet point.
• Is it okay? 
• I mean, in the real world things aren't going to be organized all the time... Right?
• Or are you like this blog I love to follow and so organized you forgot/never even knew what the word procrastination means?

All thoughts/comments/etc... are totally welcome!

Until this power point's done,

KT

2.5 Hours Later...

So yes, I was in the middle of a would-be awesome post after losing an intramural basketball game. I didn't even mind losing that badly. But I somehow managed to get a virus on my laptop. I was devastated!!! I mean... A virus! I try to be oh so careful with what I download and click on, but I messed up this time. 


Thank God that my computer savvy friend happened to be at the coffee house I'm at... Annnnnd he managed to get all the buggy stuff off (while kindly dealing with my freaked-out/pseudo depressed self). 
This post goes out to you, JD. You officially ROCK!!!! 


And I promise that as soon as I get all these projects completed and turned in, there will be a happy post about something cool.. Maybe p90x. HA


Now to get all that work done that was delayed by my idicracy...
Thankful for amazing friends.
KT

ATL...

Right now I'm in ATL for a student athletic training conference! It's been a lot of fun so far. I feel like I've learned a lot and have thought critically about some things. However, I still feel like there are entirely too many choices for my career path. UGH!
But the good news is that we're supposed to go to an awesome exhibit tomorrow when the conference is over!
So all in all, I'm having a blast being away from school, learing lots, and hanging with my friends from my program (which doesn't happen much at school.) I even got my butt over to the hotel's gym and jogged on the treadmill for 30 mins tonight!
Enough accomplishment for the day?
I think yes. :)

From the Peach State,
KT

worship time!

Literally about to walk out the door and go to church Bible study/worship.
Rando thought:
Awesome Worship Song!
Just wanted to share.


Happy Tuesday,
KT
