Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today is the day of love.... Romance.... Candy... Balloons.... Fine Dining....

Blah.  Blah.  Blah.

I would like to pretend that Valentine's Day means nothing but a day created to get people to spend money on things that they should be buying any other day.  But let's be real.  It's nice beingthat girl that get's flowers from her sweetie while at work or school.  And I guess since I don't really have a boyfriend, it's like "aww that's so cute..." but really I'm like "booo..."  I'm just saying.

But I will have to admit that I did participate with Valentine's.  I got my roommates some cards with some candy.  I'm not really expecting them to get me anything.  I got their stuff on a humbug while shopping at Target.  I only spent like $4 between the two of them.  I love giving out cards and stuff like that.  I guess I kind of just wish that I could spend Valentine's or something of that nature with someone I really like.

Yo!  But don't feel sorry, or think that I am looking for some kind of sympathy... blah blah blah.  I'm not.  I'm just being real and saying how I feel.  Tomorrow, this will all be a memory.

Anyway.  Since I don't have a sweetie, I was able to get quite a bit of work done today.  My day started off with my child development lab at the Child Development Center.  It was fun.  I'm in the two year old room and those kids are hilarious.  They are just all over the place.  And their imagination is amazing.  I really enjoy hanging out with those kids.

Afterwards, I went straight to the gym for my workout class.  And boy was it a workout.  I was sweating bullets.  Shoulders all sore from lifting.  Abs sore from crunching.  It was A LOT.  But I felt amazing afterwards.  Tomorrow I am running.  I'm a try to hit up a class too, but I'm not sure if I can.  I will definitely log the run though for the 30 day challenge.  I have to get on that.  The days are passing by.

After my workout, I went home to shower and grab a quick lunch before heading to Sociology.  In class we talked about immigration.  Very hot topic.  Even in my class you could see the division.  It was very interesting to hear people's views on the subject.  I, personally, am not really sure where I stand on it.  I feel like there are more pressing issues than immigration.  People complain that illegals are taking "our jobs".  But what about big businesses that send "our jobs" to other countries?  I'm not going to really go there.  I am not really a political person and I don't want to speak on things that I really am not versed on.  So, we will end this discussion here.

After class it was off to the Student Union for a Student Government meeting.  Now, that was entertaining.  There is currently a lot of controversy on campus because of possible tuition increases.  Well, actually not even possible.  It's going to happen.  It's just a matter of by how much.  I learned today that Missouri doesn't really support higher education as much as it's proud that we have the lowest cigarette tax.  How much sense does does that make?

Once the meeting was over, I stopped by my house to get some cake for my brother and his roommates.  I chilled out over at their place just for about 45 minutes, then headed to the library.  I did some reading for some classes and took some notes, had dinner, hit up Facebook and Twitter, and now here.

As I'm writing this post, I'm listening to some Pandora (Big Sean Radio) and snacking on some raisins.  The library is starting to clear out and I have like an hour before I can start to pack up.  I'm really excited about this weekend.  It's a 4 day weekend since I don't have class on Friday and Monday.  I'll be going to St. Louis to chill out.  I have downloaded the WordPress app for my phone so maybe I'll upload some pictures.  We'll see.

Till tomorrow....
