2012

December 2012 to be exact. And what about may you ask? My supposed graduation date...my god....schools NEVER going to end...and when I finally get out, the world is supposdly going to end...what a crappy life that will be if it actually happens. It's never going to end...It's never going to end...ahhhh

So much for school free

Well I did it, I decided to take my statistics class this summer on-line so I can get it out of the way. I really don't want to have to keep putting it off, hopefully the load really shouldn't be bad since it's only two credits. well that's about it! Today is Advisment Day here meaning...NO CLASSES (yes another work day!) Well that's sbout it.....adios!

P.S. It's clam on a half shell day...I'm not sure what this means but happy clam on half shell day anyway

Well I'll Be!

Well I'll be I guess I haven't updated in a long time. Well for those of you who don't know, though I doubt there isn't anyone who doesn't know, MY JACKET WON!!!! I'M GOING TO TEXAS!!!!! Let me tell you I'm excited! Even though I do have to pay for half the trip (suck!) But I'm excited nonetheless! It's strange how fast the second semester is flying by, I mean it still feels like forever until summer but everythings so much more fast paced this semester, some of it probably being from taking more credits, but still I think from now until summer it's going to be pretty packed with work, some of which I'm sure will be fun, others.......not so much. And I know I should have my nose to the grindstone all the time but really, I'm procrastinating, which is NOT GOOD! I can't wait until summer though! I'm going to miss not living with Annie in the summer, but I will enjoy only worrying about work and making stuff for my own enjoyment because this is going to be my last school free summer. From next summer till I graduate I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay up at school and take classes while working so I don't have such a heavy load during the year, and while I'm interning I can take on-line courses. (I'm slightly tempted to take on-line courses this summer but registration already happened) Anyways I can't really think of much right now, nothing that's important at least. I just feel like mush...lazy creamy mush.

Plant A Flower Day

Today is Plant A Flower Day! So plant a flower!!! (or at least stop to smell one!)

Whew!

well after practically four sleepless days, I DID IT!!! I finished my jacket last night at 2 a.m. I couldn't believe how long it took me! I realized how much detail work I put in and counted 7 different fabrics that comprised my jacket. I really love it! It was so much hard work, especially since I was just making most of the stuff up as I went. It was really frustrating having to stay up late to work on it but totally worth it. So here's the really hard part. All of jackets from every Pattern class are being evaluated. ONLY 5 will be chosen to go on in competition in Texas where it will be walked down a runway and auctioned off to help raise funds for a cure for aids. I really want to go becuase it's such a great opporunity and feeling like an underdog this would give me a sign that this is truly my calling, however I'm not going to hold to my breath. The construction wasn't really the best and I kinda want to keep my jacket. I don't know. I'm just going to trust what in fate for me. so here are some pics!

here's what I started with



and here's what I finished with





YaY!

Just A Reminder

I know it's still 18 days away but Earth Hour is coming fast! Be part of the revolution! On March 28th at 8:30 p.m. make the effort to power down for an hour. I know it's hard for college students because we use a lot of technology and candles aren't allowed in dorms. Here's MY suggestion. It might be frustrating but if you have to do homework, read (I KNOW you have reading to do) and do it by flashlight! Have a campout, build a fort! Go for a walk, walks are both good for your health and think if you can inspire enough people around you to power down as well how beautiful the and bright the sky is when down here it's all dark. The earth has been our home and has provided us with life for a long time, so do your part and give back by protecting and taking care of her. As I will be trying to do too, get others inspired, SPREAD THE WORD!!! anyway you can!!! Think of how amazing it would be if the entire world finally came together for a cause. Being earth-friendly is something we can ALL agree on!!! Some people are probably thinking "HIPPIE" right now but listen to me, our bodies are organic right? So why do feel the need to constantly pollute it with chemicals and preservatives? I dare you to go shopping, by the food you normally do and when you get home look at ALL the nutrition labels now DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE CALORIES!!! examine the ingrediants, how much of that is acutal food(?!!!) look at the percent values for different vitamins, proteins, carbs. In the case of our bodies and our world IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS!!!! get informed (not from food companies) about the real (and updated) facts about our body and nutrition. Calories are the enemys, FAT is not always an enemy. Take care of yourself and take care of the world!!! I know as of right now I'm a total hypocrite, and I also know how hard it is as a college student (especially in the dorms) to eat healthy and exercise and practice earth happy habits but it's NOT impossible. Do what you can now, but get informed so you can transition into a healthier life. AND REMEMBER EARTH HOUR!!!

If you click the on the words EARTH HOUR it will bring you to the website for it SIGN UP!!! (it's free! no consequence!)

puh!!

well it's 9:30 p.m. I've been working on my jacket since 11:30 am, nonstop (except to run and go piddle) I've even been eating and working (crackers are a great sewing snack. and you know what PUH! I'm not done yet, not even close. I think you'll understand when I put before and after pictures up, but really whew! this is a lot of work and ya know what ^_^ I like it! I really want it to be done, but I'm enjoying working on it (except for when I do something stupid like...sew the sleeve on the wrong armhole!) Well I should get back to working, I'm preparing to pull an all nighter (fingers crossed I won't have to)

Oh! quick update, I missed going to Milk yesterday cuz Annie went to see another movie beforehand that ended up running two hours late BUT Carissa, Matt, and her SURPRISED me! (literally it was pretty late at night and everyone was tired so she called me to come over to her room and when I got there it was really dark and everyone went "surprise" and I screamed and hid in the corner and they got some cake I cut it had a piece and that was pretty much it but it was nice nonetheless! I didn't even expect anyone to remember my birthday!) well that's REALLY it because I really have to get back to work now

byes!

I'm 20???!!!!

Holy Crap! I'm 20! I can't believe it! I shouldn't be this old. It was a really relaxing birthday and today I'm going to see Milk for free. I just can't wait to go home and see my family and have CAKE! ohhhhh cake! Well errr...I think that's it for now, Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, you made my day!
