real life

mm back too soon from Florida! It was love. Even though it rained the first two days I was there, and I didn't get too much of a tan..it was love. Eating sea food and relaxing was the agenda. I turned off my phone for most of the time and didn't dare check my email. It was nice to let go of everything. Though, now it's back to real life and I feel refreshed today! The weather is nice which makes everything better. Hope it stays that way til' summer. I just can't understand why I didn't transfer to a school further down south? Or near the coast? Oh well...

So I've got a new favorite song! I heard it last night playing in a restaurant and it's been in my head ever since! I FINALLY found it this morning after looking forever for it! Listen to it...jon mclaughlin...v.good! :)

lots of love,,,

hurrah for quote wednesday!

 Thinking that I'm going to have to steal other blogger's "quote wednesday." How original, right? ;) Take this quote and let it better your life!


Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:25-34

Off to Florida then.

lots of love.

uno mas dia! (1 more day)

This Thursday I am taking off to the Florida Keys! I just wish I could already be there. Ahh...this is going to be such a much needed little get away. It's probably not the best time to go away since there's a million things I've got to do, but it's been planned for some time and sometimes you gotta put everything on hold. I think we worry too much about the tiniest little things and we forget to just relax and get away from the world for a few days. That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm a pretty laidback person but I feel like in the past two years I've become super organized women.(SOW? lol) Or something like that. I think I'll blame my ocd. I've got to have everything in order and I have to have everything done before deadline. Or else, I worry. I worry, worry, worry, stress, stress, stres. It's a never ending cyce!
I'm just getting anxious thinking about it........ sigh.

Here's what I'm going to do in Florida:
sleep. EAT (seafood yum:)) read (non-text books) tan. shop. run. swim.listen to bob marley. (repeat).
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. :))

In other Maggie news:
Remember my ipod that died? Well..it CAME BACK TO LIFE!!! I was about to buy another one off of amazon until I gave good ol' purple ipod one more try! Hooked it up to the computer and walah! It worked again, came back from the dead! Learned that you must never give up, on your ipod!

Lots of love.

windy wednesdayyyy

I'm not sure where everyone else is located, but where I'm located it's freeeeeeeeeeezinggggggg. :S I wimpered everytime I stepped outside.  Since it was warmer (like 50 degrees, HEAT UP!) yesterday I decided to go on a nice run in town. After about twenty minutes of running, rain began to pour. I'm not talking about a sprinkle, It felt like the drops were as big as my HAND! Okay...so I'm exaggerating. Anyways....now my millionth ipod is broke. I tried drying it with a blow dryer..but that technique didn't work so well. If I can keep an ipod for over a year, then I'm having a REALLY good year. I accidentally lose them or they get stolen...or in this case they get fried.

R.I.P. Nano. We had great times together. You were always there with me. Whether it was on our way to class, the gym or just those down times where I wanted to relax. Now you are gone and I miss you very much. You always kept me entertained and now I feel so lost without you. I am sorry I didn't treat you like I should have..I know you wanted that protective cover but at the time I didn't think it was so necessary. So I'm sorry. I know you would like it if I moved on, so that's what I will do. I'm already thinking about purchasing the itouch. bye, bye nano. You will always have a place in my heart. :(
(ps- I'm still going to put all my effort into making you come back to life. I won't give up on you!!)

In other news. I took a yogalites (?) class today. I didn't really see the difference between that and a regular yoga class..but I still accomplished an amazing task! There is a pose where you have to balance on your hands and pull your feet right up...okay I can't explain it..

There it is! This is what I did!!! I've been trying to do this for ages but today me and a friend got it!!! Of course... I didn't raise my self off the ground as much as the lady above but hey, I still did it!
I thought I would share it with everyone... :)

hope everyone is having a lovely day.

lots of love,,

the first!

February is here! Hurrah! School has been kicking my butt lately. Papers, test, essays every where I turnnnnn. That's alright though. I'll take the ten year undergraduate plan, college is great! :) Also... next Thursday I will be on my way to Florida....I wish I was there now. The weather has been so droopy and cold...today isn't so cold though. Warm enough to go run! Anyone who is part of a gym that offers spinning class, I recommend it! But be prepared, those classes will kick your ass. I thought I was going to die after the first ten minutes- it's a fifty minute class! Ha!

Also. Time to get deep. I learned alot about myself and other people in the last week. I realized that sometimes you gotta go own your own. You've got to look inside and know what is best for you. In the past, I've made alot of choices regarding what other people want of me. So today is a new day. It's February first and it's time for a change!

In the mean time I'll dream about the KEYS!!! :))

happy tuesday everyone.

lots of love,,,

Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday! :) I'm looking forward to tomorrow though! Thursday means it's almost Friday! I'm feeling so sore today though...last night I went to a yoga class and realized how (non) flexible I really am. I consider myself to be pretty atheletic, but I was amazed to see some people really stretch OUT! I always have a difficult time concentrating in those classes the first thirty minutes though. I can't hardly take the instructor serious (even though, I really need to). I hear "breathe through your soul and let all your worries vanish awayyyy, just let go." Which at first I am like "whhattttt?" and then I try to concentrate on what the instructor is saying. Millions of thoughts run through my head in thirty seconds like, "How do I even begin to breathe through my soul? Is the person beside me breathing through her soul? This stretch is really killing my back.How is this girl doing this?? I shouldn't of had that cookie today. Okay, breathing through the soul...Have I finished that one assignment yet? BREATH THROUGH THE SOUL MAGGS!!"
All in thirty seconds. But after about 30 minutes I really get the hang of yoga and I love it! One day I hope I can stretch like this............



But...for the mean time you'll probably see me stretching like this instead....

haha, happy wednesday everyone :))

lots of love,,

tea tuesday

I'm not much for coffee, so when I go into our Starbucks on campus I never know what to get... I'm always so tempted to get one of those yummy frappuccinos........but I try to avoid them since they're so freaking unhealthy. However, I've grown to like tea in the past year so I thought I'd try their tea. I ordered the Vanilla Rooibos Brewed Tea...sounds so fancy! It was pretty good though. I think from now on every Tuesday I will have that tea! Or...try different types.

So much for my 410 calorie double chocolaty chip frappuccino...

Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino® Blended Crème

How delicious does that look!

I also have a weakness for Dairy Queen's moolates. They are sooooo delicious. mmm.. getting hungry now.

lots of love.
