waaaay to much math today...

lots of random things going through my mind right now. 

- i am the only girl at the gym wearing shorts. 

seriously, the last two days i have been the only woman wearing shorts. do irish women not wear them to the gym? every other woman was dressed in cute pants and a matching top. here i am in a pair of shorts and a wac rowing t-shirt. these women are even fancy at the gym... uuugh! not that i'm going to it bother me, becuase seriously i get WAY too hot to wear pants.

i'm enjoying getting back into working out. i was really good last spring/summer about going, so going to get back into that routine. i'm looking at doing an aerobics and a spinning class a week too. so that should help break it up, and then the other 3 days do my bike/eliptical/weights. but yay! for the gym. 

- work today...ugggh. 

so our office oversees 83 student societies. so 83 different bank accounts. to make things easier at the end of march/april my boss decided to balance the accounts for the first half of the year (last year we did a full year and it was redic crazy trying to match up our office accounts and the bank statements) so i got through about 10 in 4.5 hours. i had a killer headache at the end from trying to figure it all out. the societies banking is all online, so when they want a check they fill out a form, we get an email and write it. when they deposit money, they fill out a form, and bring it into the office. so the crazy part is sometimes they forget to fill out lodgement forms online, or checks aren't cashed. or who knows.... and a lot of the figures from last april (aka starting balances were off, because there were some uncashed checks...) so AHHHHHHHHHHH. though only having half the amount from last year is nicer, less to try to figure out. it was quite exciting when you figured out a really messed up one though!! 

- gossip girl on monday night. pretty funny. i watched it yesterday at work when it was quiet. the show just makes me laugh, it's crazy but addictive like crack. but the recap on gawker - omg had me laughing soooo hard. even if you don't watch the show, it will still be amusing.here is the link - sibling sex is better than candy. my favourite line from the gawker recap was - 

I don't know about you, but generally when I'm in large, open-planned, well-lit spaces, I tend to notice when a Japanese high school student in a silly uniform wearing large novelty spectacles that she bought at a circus is lurking behind candy and stealing cell phones. It's just not something that goes missed. 

ohhhh, gawker and gossip girl... you both are crack. 

- taylor swift ~ love story

do the lyrics drive anyone else crazy? i LOVE the song, but the more i hear it and sing it, the more i'm like wtf?!? and according to my itunes i've played it 145 times since i downloaded it september 29th. and that doesn't count radio/in the car.... (i've kinda been listening to fearless on major repeat the last two weeks)  anyway... the part i don't get

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo

I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet,"

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, "Please don't go,"

And I said

Romeo, take me

Somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting

All there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince

And I'll be the princess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

so the reference to the scarlet letter confuses me... like i get the begining, they met when they were younger, and she fell in love, some drama because dad didn't like him (romeo/juliet), they manage to sneek off together for a little, but then she is scared he won't come back/doesn't love her as much... and then all is happy/he proposes and they can live happily ever after. but the scarlet letter line!?! gaaaaaaah. the song is incredibly catchy and fabulous though. but i think my fav song on the cd is either change or fifteen. i just love her. all of her songs are just so catchy and real. 

-finished sense and sensibility at lunch today. (ugh, the weather here today is ireland in january, WET, windy and just disgusting) and i enjoyed it. though a few things stood out to me. first of all it is a classic (extremely well written) love story (which i love, i am a complete romantic), the setting is just early 19th century and it about two sisters trying to find love and the trials and tribulations. the things i had issues with was one of the sisters (i don't want to completely give it away) decides to marry the guy who was secertly engaged to another woman and of course she has no idea and finds out from the other woman... (ahhhh, hello - sound slightly familar to my life, except just dating, not engaged), hoooow can she do this? and also don't feel sorry for your sisters ex love interest just because he wanted you sister, but the other girl had more money so he went with her... he chose to do it. he made a decision. but i really enjoyed it because it has the life experiences any girl goes through with dating and having her heart broken, with the hopes of a happy ending... 

now on to pride and prejudice. 

- i really need to get working on details for showing her around ireland and spain, roomie is coming to visit sooo soon! YAY!!

- oh a big HI! to all my new readers. i'm working on a 101 things, but it is taking me forever! trying to think of 101 things about yourself is tough!

happy wednesday :)
