stress city

hi blog friends :)

life has, of course, been hectic with the school year (and my school career) finally winding down. my thesis is due in a few days and i still have more than a bit to do! but i'm taking a weekend break until sunday afternoon. tonight is a girl's night and then a boy night and tomorrow i'm going to a BALL. that's right, and i still don't know what i'm wearing because i've been too busy to go through my closet! i'll make it work somehow.

i'm so excited that in only a week (i say only but it feels miles away) i'll be free from school and have time to build a sewing room, get a new bike, read all day, etc etc insert more wonderful summer things!

new week

spring really is here :) the temperature is still fluttering around zero but the birds are coming back and the sun is getting warmer. i went shopping again yesterday and picked up some really lovely treats including a purse that looks like a picnic basket and some old cowboy boots. if i get around to it i might take pics later. i also just spent two hours driving to 4 malls around the city trying to exchange a shirt for a different size. extremely annoying but i got some kernels popcorn while i was at it :)

i spent most of my weekend being lazy and watching tv with my laptop in front of me. i got a twitter account because that seems to be the thing to do these days add me i also spent many minutes filling my heart on weheartit. i'm semi obsessed

dreams

i just woke up from a dream where i was shopping at my favorite store, young janes and i tried on a floral dress i saw on their blog and it fit so nice that the owners took polaroids of me wearing it and then i went looking for cute flats (as i plan to do this afternoon!) but the store grew and had a whole kind of metal/leather section like a hot topic and i was trying to get out of the area and get back to lace and sandals but there were creepy old men trying to talk to me and blocking me way. i ended up in a section where they sold exotic animals and i started playing with some very cuddly pigeons and noticed a large glass cage with some large animals including a man who had been raised by animals or as an animal or something and this man was a rugged version of james franco and i fell in love with him immediately. we kissed through the glass but it was closing time. i told him i'd come back for him and set him free after everyone else had left but things happened and i couldn't. i think i just woke up. i really like james franco though and i'm excited to go shopping today :)

ponies and good grades

what a week blog friends :) i spent most of it at the farm dog sitting again and working. luke came out and met oreo which was a lot of fun :) i love my little pony. on wednesday i got my midterm mark back from my bird taxonomy course and i got the highest mark in the class, 99%! :) i am still extremely excited and proud. the prof, who can be pretty harsh, even emailed me to congratulate me and said it's a pleasure to have such keen students in his course :) i feel confident that i will do well on the final too and look forward to the most satisfying A+ of my university career.

speaking of careers, i've been meeting with the school's career counselor over the past few weeks and am working on applying for summer jobs and thinking about what to do after that. i hope things work out because i really don't want to settle for anything mundane or unfulfilling. i'm sending out a bunch of resumes this weekend but i have a lot of cover letters to write. we'll see what happens.

i'm a bit stuck about designing this website for my thesis. i've never really designed a website before and i want it to look professional but feel a bit lost. hopefully i can work on that this weekend too. but tonight is all about fun :) bringing the date to meet the friends! i hope they adore each other as much as i adore them all :)

love that weekend

i've been a bit overwhelmed with busy-ness as of late and have therefore decided to take the whole weekend off. i'm going to tidy and organize, read for fun..maybe watch some movies. absolutely no homework though :) maybe i'll ride my pony tomorrow if it's really sunny. and maybe go out tomorrow night but i might just want to be alone :)

today i did a bit of shopping for myself and bought a bunch of spring tops, skirts and dresses. the only reason i'm tempted to go out tomorrow night is to show off a cute new outfit. also i got my bangs cut shorter and straighter.

tomorrow night is spring forward. this fact has made me endlessly excited all week long. i'm ready.

flashcards

i've combined studying with arts&crafts to make 135 flashcards for my birds midterm next tuesday. it's a lot of work so i hope it pays off with a juicy A+. i had to cut my favorite bird book into pieces in order to make these. besides the stresses of school work, my life is looking pretty perfect lately :) also, i want to learn how to do this lauren conrad updo. it's so pretty.
