Munchies

Last Thursday my SO proposed to me and I said yes! We've already set a date, and I've started to make lists and spreadsheets of different things. Goal is to stay at 6K USD or less (including honey moon). 

Nay for stress and being a type A planner

In college I started off as a nursing student and then changed my major to addiction counseling. Now I'm looking to get my Master's degree and I have no idea what I want to get it in. 

I'm currently playing through Shadow of the Tomb Raider as well as casually playing Brawlhalla. 

I received a Florange and my pet's color changed from yellow to zombie.. and I'm okay with it (only because it fits with her outfit better). Unfortunately it's only temporary

Wow, I take my hat off to you for taking on a job like that. Big kudos and the very best of luck to you!

You've managed to cram a lot into just a few sentences there, you're clearly quite the achiever.

Thank you kindly Jelly  I tend to thrive under pressure and I'm definitely ready to be working again, two months without it has driven me crazy!

I've been away since a few days after the AC started, but in that time I found a job (YAY!!) which I actually start next Monday, June 25th. I'll be on the crisis hotlines for one of the local organizations! I somehow managed to finish off three crocheted blankets and start two new projects. Next week is the half way mark for my online class; I'm so excited for this, the  end is so close.

thats the top score on shootout showdown:)

Awesome, thank you  that's good to know. My inner perfectionist can rest now

Hey all, 

Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten higher than 1200 on Shootout Showdown?? So far that's the highest I've reached and no matter how hard I try I can't get a higher score..

OMG, you are talking to the BIGGEST procrastinator.  Add to it the fact that I am a perfectionist, and that is a recipe for disaster.  Meaning, when I do FINALLY get around to doing what I need to do, it is never good enough.  With my school assignments, I couldn't get them turned in, because I kept re-tweaking them until I felt they were perfect.  It got to the point where my mentor (I will get more into that in a sec) told me, you have to bite the bullet and just turn it in the way it is, because you can't afford to turn them in late either.

The online nursing school I went to was awesome because I had a mentor.  She called me every week.  I HAD to take her phone call or I was out of the program.  During the phone call, I had to tell her what I had accomplished during the previous week and what I planned to accomplish the next week.  Then, during the next call, if I didn't accomplish it, I better have a darn good excuse why I didn't.  And playing neopets wasn't a good excuse.  lol.  

When do you have to finish the class by?  My way of getting motivated was, I would say to myself, "ok, I am going to work on my schooling for 30-60 mins.  Then I will take 15-20mins break to eat, have coffee, do my dailies on neopets, etc. Then I will go back to another 30 mins and so on."  Usually, once I got going, I would work longer than the 30-60 mins.  It was just GETTING STARTED.  So, I told myself, just 30 mins.  And if you only do 30 mins, that's fine too.  At least you are doing something.  If you do 30 mins worth of work every hour for 4 or 5 hours, you have 2 to 2-1/2 hours of school work done!  Do that each day and that's 10-12 hrs per week.  Good luck.

Thank you! It's over on July 29th, so 7 more weeks! I'm using my system from when I was attending school full time, one discussion post and a portion of the assignment (formatting it counted  ) So far it's helping but I have a feeling when I start working, it's going to fail with flying colors. I'll definitely try to do just 30 minutes each day. Since I still have a few of the assignments from when I previously took it, I already have the paper formats and some references.

I have to make up a class for my diploma, and I'm really having a hard time staying motivated through it. It's online, which I don't mind. Any suggestions to decrease procrastination and increase motivation? 

That's so exciting, like others have mentioned, keep it clean and definitely be careful on snagging it! I snagged mine once, and it nearly tore my nostril (definitely learned my lesson there). But it shouldn't hurt too much, depending on your pain tolerance  you'll feel a pinch and a big ol' tear may come out while a little bleeding may occur.

My Favorite Show!!!!!! I would be disappointed if Rick left. I don't want to say why or add to much since you are trying to catch up. I read that article (wish I hadn't). Looks like Maggie is going to leave as well. She's pregnant and  I was hoping for the birth of the baby this coming season. That migth happen and the baby may survive but it won't be the same with to small kids and both have no parents. I don't know, this is upsetting to me.

Even though I'm a couple of seasons behind, I know some of the bigger things that happen. It's definitely upsetting since Rick and Maggie are major characters; but kudos to them for wanting to broaden their horizons and to the writers for wanting to end a major character's story line. Not many want to do that, but it fits with the Walking Dead, no one is safe. Hopefully it won't be dragged out like some other character deaths, yet still be meaningful in a way (if that makes any sense). 

I'm currently catching up on the Walking Dead, roughly two seasons behind now. In one of the Facebook groups I'm in someone shared this article:

 http://collider.com/andrew-lincoln-leaving-walking-dead-season-9/ 

which states that Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) will more than likely leaving after season 9. For those of you who still watch the Walking Dead what are your feelings about this? I'm not exactly sure how to feel, it'll be interesting to see where the show goes from there. There's endless content to use since the comic is still being published..

I joined Terror Mountain this year. They were my team wayy back when the Altador Cup first started and I really like the cold and the snow (despite living in a desert).

I really like the new outfit. It reminds me of Ash from the movie Sing

I decided I want to learn to code, specifically HTML or PHP. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any site or places to learn with. Thank you in advanced  

Didn't there used to be a way to use the page source to find the time, like it was hidden within the code?

I finally found the energy to schedule all of my doctor's appointments today; PCP, psych, and gastro.. I see my PCP this week and the psych in a couple of weeks. The kicker is that I have to wait until the end of July to see the gastro doctor. I don't want to wait that long to see him, especially since I can't eat anything without getting sick.. but hopefully my PCP will help me figure something out until I my gastro appointment.. *sigh* curse medical problems.

UPDATE: I'm able to eat again without getting sick! I wonder if it was mostly due to anxiety. I saw the psychiatrist yesterday and was put on Lexapro and Abilify. Now just gotta push through the terrible side effects for the next two weeks until I go back.

Boo, that's gonna take a while then. But thank you for looking into it!

I thought so too. I checked and my score is 6,188 but I'm not on the high score table.. I'm wondering if it'll update at the end of the month like the other quests..

I've been doing the Brain Tree's quests consistently for the past few weeks, attempting to work towards a trophy. Does anyone have an idea about how the scoring works? When I complete the quest, it tells me my neopoint value has been recorded on the Hi-score table. But is it my overall neopoint value or is it the neopoint value I've received that day?

Has the baby found a home? If not I would love to have him. I have been wanting a baby pet! Please neomail me if he is still available. Thank you!

He's found a home! I'm so sorry for responding so late. 

Thank you! I'll reach out to you if no one takes him and repost in the adoption thread

Hey Friends, I have a baby Draik I'm looking to transfer. His name is Rinneth.

This is him: http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Rinneth

Hey all! Would anyone like a baby Draik? I'm looking to transfer mine, Rinneth, rather than place him in the pound.
