organizing

well i've never been the most organized person in the world but i've always admired those who had the time to even organize their homes and make it pretty! i've always thought about that TIME problem that everyone has. I am currently in school and working full time (or the full time they allow me to work which is 30hrs...boo) so I never have TIME to do anything, so I say. But of course i have time to watch netflix or tv x] SO ive been obsessed with Pinterest lately and Blog lovin' with all their wonderful organization posts! and I was reading one of my favorite organization blogs called "I Heart Organization" and she posted a quote from one of her favorite bloggers, dont remember the name of that blog, and it was about organizing and time. she explains that the reason why she organizes, even if it takes so much time to do, is so she wont waste time later looking for whatever she needs. All of us waste time looking for that something that we remember putting somewhere but isnt there anymore, which is SUPER annoying. So i have decided to start organizing certain areas in my house (i am currently living with my mom and bro). my first project ever was the "junk drawer' in the kitchen which my mom & i totally trashed out and organized with tiny boxes. it has so far stayed like that for quite some time so i've been very happy about that. and that has motivated me to organize other parts & rooms in my house, yay! 

TODAY I plan to kick-off the organization train in my garage! We have a huge garage, so huge that we have split it in half- a couple living on one side and the other half is ours for storage. But when ever we open it, it stinks and looks like a disaster so we have to close it right away. my mom has attempted to organize it once, and it worked for about a month. our family travels, and camps a lot so we take things out and back in a lot. and it's always a pain to look for something we need and climb over other things to find something. which is why i plan to start organizing it today! I will post some pictures of before and after sometime in the future.

have a good day!

New Year calls for a new blog!~

ok, not really, it's still the same blog name & blog person, me, but it's technically a new blog cuz it'll actually have posts for you to read! :) some may wonder why I would want to write so much when my Literature major expects me to write 5-6 pages once a month already haha good question, but one of the many goals for the year of 2013 is to blog more often ~

the cousin & I - Wendy at Don't Lose a Moment - have been following a couple of new blogs since the start of this new year - 12 days & counting - that have inspired us to blog & blog & blog! The blogs I am following all share moments of their lives, special projects, & anything & everything. Many blogs I've read have mentioned that the reason to blog is to do exactly that. To share special moments in your life you want to remember later in life. I love that idea because I have a bad memory & I later want to look back at all my fun, happy moments. So here's to a new year and posting more! *cheers*

I am so excited to use this somewhat as a diary, no, journal sounds more adult ;) I will mostly share about my days at work with awesome coworkers
             at school learning about Literature and other interesting topics
             at church gaining more and more of the Lord
             & with family who I couldn't live without :)

so let us beginnnnn

My  name is Leslie, middle name is Josephine, as you might have guessed. & today is January 12th 2013, as you already might know....

I am currently recovering from a cold, I like to say, because I am able to breathe  through both my nostrils - yes!-  I am stuck in my room at the moment. My brother has friends over & I don't intend to have them see me in the sick mess that I am right now...


Today I will probably stay home all day because I would like to clean for tomorrow's college meeting here at my house. I loove cleaning...I have never said. But one of my goals for this new year is to get clean & organized & stay that way! I've been reading lots of blogs on how to stay organized & get organized! I am loving it so far!
My first project of the year was my work desk. It was a huge disaster! I had papers in drawers from 2008-2009! How crazy & lazy is that?! One day I decided to look through some of the folders & THROW AWAY (recycle) papers I didn't need anymore! It felt soooo awesome! so I couldn't stop there. I continued to a different folder until I cleaned out the whole drawer of papers I didn't need. So then I moved on to the papers I had on my desk & organized those too. I have been loving going to work this past week, except for the fact that I was sick & wish I was in bed.

My next project is my room....TUN TUN TUN. I am rarely in my room. I love hanging out with my mom & chatting with her about everything - she's my best friend & I love her so dearly! So I'm only in my room at night with the lights off on my phone or Nook, & in the morning getting ready for the day. If there's a mess, I usually don't see it. BUT from now on, I want to be clean & organized, like I've mentioned. So my next mini project is my closet! I have shoes I don't wear anymore and clothes I've forgotten about, so I will clean that out! so excited ~ just gotta start...oneday.

I think that's all for today...enough writing for one day. Hope you all have a great weekend!

ttyl,

Leslie Josephine

volleyball

volleyball has been a HUGE part of my life since I was in 8th grade. I love it, i forget about everything else when I'm playing. I not only love it but I'm also good at it, and know I can get far with it. But the Lord has a whole different plan for me. and I totally understand. So i know not playing volleyball at LBCC this season is the best choice for me. I feel guilty for leading the coaches in with me playing, but I really thought i was going to play this season. I was super excited. Until a coworker from a different department wanted me to work with her. she asked if i was looking for a promotion, and i said yes, and she said shell give it to me. Good and bad. Good cuz i get a promotion...bad cuz i can't do volleyball. Obviously work is more important than volleyball...so I chose work. now i'm kinda depressed but I know i'll get over it. anyways time to go bye

11:09pm

hello hello

it's kinda late so i'll make this a quickie! ;]

classes began about 2 weeks ago, so i've been going to school every wednesdsay. which reminds me, I need to read 2 chapters before tmrw's class but I don't have my book! i ordered it last week and it was supposed to arrive today! hopefully I get it tomorrow before class ugh

wendy is almost done moving! tomorrow she gets all her furniture and will start unpacking! yay i'm so excited! her bday is coming up too, gotta get her present! ahhh i have some ideas though. hopefully she likes em!

been playing vb the past couple wknds, and now I'm starting a league this Sunday night! so excited. went to open gym with one of my teammates and I think i did pretty well! still got it~

been really into blogs lately. they're fun to read and inspire me to continue writing. sometimes i feel like writing is a waste of time, but it helps me so much! it's good to say things i'm feeling out loud

anywho, i'm getting sleepy, goodnight!

FIRST DAY OF NOTHING!

ugh kinda annoyed right now. I was hoping to get a Bio class at 3:30pm today but it was full and I didn't get to add it :( so I go back to work and decide to try the class at 6:50pm! wow that was a huge mistake! I left work at 6pm, go to yoshinoya, which is like 4 min from elac. I get my food and get in my car at 6:33 and don't make it to the parking structure till 7Pm! so I think to myself, ok maybe I'll just be a few minutes late. BUT i don't find parking so i give up and head home at 7:20. so now I'm home class-less. I could try again next week. maybe some people dropped. or I could try the 7:15am class tmrw ughhh I really DO NOT want a super early class. I would be late to every class. So I might just try for a Thursday night class. or just go till next week. we'll see if I wake up tmrw morning! hehe

now I'm home bored. I had deactivated my facebook because I kept going to his page. but I just activated. and first thing I do was go to his page. NOTHING SPECIAL -__- of course.

anyways, I'm gna watch the girl with the dragon tattoo now. on my laptop cuz it doesn't work on my tv :( I still have one class tomorrow which I'm looking forward to :) it has to do with my major! yay! ok goodday.

new major: comparative literature with an emphasis on cultural studies!

yayyy can't wait to finish and graduate and gtfo of this time in my life! so over it.


good-day.

change of plans!

so i've been going crazy lately cuz I wasn't happy with my major! i was doing business management and that ish is intense! I've never been interested in businesses or their stock value stuff. It never interested mostly because I didn't understand it. And I don't want to understand because I don't feel like it's my thing. My brother and cousin are into that stuff but I'm not. so i dreaded going to class! I've been told all my life to do what I want, what I desire. But at the same time, I've been pushed and forced toward business management because it's the best way to get rich. I totally understand that, but who cares! it's not the only way to make money! I can just marry someone who is rich. jk.

anywho, I've put so much thought into this and have decided to major in Literature! wooooo! then go to the FTTA! GOODDAY!

COLLEGE CONFERENCE THIS WEEKEND! YAY

too bad I won't see my bf :( he's leaving to Santa Barbara!! OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!

jk. I'll survive :] i think.
