One down!

That applies to two things. I have one day of the UFE behind me, not too bad so far, I'm hoping the next two days go well too. And then I never have to do it again, or take a test ever. Unless I really feel like it. Highly unlikely.

The title also applies to my goals - I finished one! I can now do two hundred sit-ups. Go me, I get a badge!

Still working on the push-ups. That one will be much slower, I'm only at around 30. But that's way better than I was when I started. And I've kept up with it, also good.

Only a few more days until I get to go to Spain! Man, I am so ready to be done studying. I'm even looking forward to going back to work (but I like my job so that's ok). Wish me luck for the next two days!

Cleaning is contagious

Seriously. As soon as you clean one thing, you notice another two that are dirty and also need cleaning. I just moved into my new place (thanks big sis for helping me move!), so I bought a bunch of cleaning supplies cause I didn't have any. I wanted to try them out so I was only going to clean the tub, since it was mostly clean but had some plaster dust in the bottom. Wrong. I ended up cleaning the tub, shower, sink, counter, toilet, and half my closet. And I had to force myself to stop and start putting stuff away again. Only now, I can't put more stuff away until I clean more. But I can't get at the stuff that needs to be cleaned because there are piles of boxes and stuff in the way. It's a vicious cycle. I decided the only solution was to take a break. Because otherwise I will spend my entire day cleaning instead of studying, and knowing me, I will end up cleaning things like windows and blinds, which don't really help me put stuff away at all. Overall though, I am enjoying my big new room. And I fully plan to take advantage of all my new storage space. As soon as it's clean.

Only two weeks till UFE and I am starting to realize that it is no longer way far away. Crap.
