day 271

Today was a mightily productive/lazy day at the same time. Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm done with class by lunch time, so I have the rest of the day off to do whatever I want. So today I registered to vote, impressed boys by playing Halo and actually killed some aliens, went to a newspaper meeting (and actually get to do something really exciting that I can't wait to share with you guys), cleaned my room, and worked on some future blog posts! The days are long, but the weeks are short. I can't believe we are already almost done with our fifth week of college.

pick up that dirty crown

day 270

My Wednesdays look like this: I may or may not wake up early to go to breakfast. If I do, then I come back to my dorm to study or relax. If I don't, I sleep in and eat cereal in my room. Then I go to chapel. Then right after that it's college algebra, where I try not to fall asleep, and Bible where I start to wake up again. Then after that I go to a late lunch, where I either sit by myself or if I'm lucky I see someone I know (all my friends go to lunch when I have class). Then I have an hour to take photos or do any last minute psychology homework before class. After psychology I have twenty minutes to change/relax before it's off to work. I work for the set/scene shop in the theater department where I am helping build the set for the upcoming play. I use a power drill and power saw and power everything and cut up my hands and get bruises and sweat a lot and feel slightly intimidated by all the upperclassmen boys for an hour, but it's an awesome job and I'm really glad I got it instead of the sewing job. Then after work I go straight to dinner, and then after that it's resting time where I update my blog or do more homework or paint people's nails or watch episodes of Community with the gang.

It's a busy day (which is also repeated on Mondays and Fridays), but I love it so much. I mailed my first package today, signed some job paperwork, and filled out papers to become a registered voter. I'm planning a spring break trip with my friends and next year's living situation (we want to get our own house). I love life, I love my friends, I love my boyfriend, I love my family, I love school, I just love everything. You guys don't even know how happy I finally am.

smells like home

dress: thrifted // shirt: from Matt (boyfriend) // shoes: target




One thing I hate? Pajamas in public. If a person makes an effort to get out of bed, they have enough effort to put on real clothes. However, I am a firm believer in comfortable clothes, and if you're lucky enough, you have those pieces of clothing that literally feel like you're wearing pajamas. This dress is one of those things. I could just snuggle up in it all day. I bought it on a shopping trip with my friends for only $1. Welcome to thrift stores in the lower 48! I think I could get used to living in Oregon.




On days when I especially miss Matt, it's nice to wear one of his shirts that he gave me. I have another one that I wear occasionally, and I swear they still smell like him. So cheesy, but it feels like he's giving me a hug whenever I wear it.





Hope your day treats you well! You are awesome.

Blarg, two photo dumps in a row. It isn't a matter of me not having enough time to post things, it's just that 1. I am lazy and 2. ... nope, it's just that I'm lazy when it comes to actually editing photos. It's just that I have to find a nice balance between relaxing, doing homework, socializing, and doing my own personal projects. But I am ready to get on a good schedule and actually put forth effort. I'll have an outfit post up tomorrow and some other fun projects lined up, so stay tuned for awesomeness!
