V-Day
Valentine’s Day is (not really) soonish. I don’t expect anything out of the ordinary. It’s just another day in the year. Always has, always will be.
All Bad Things
- I have to take 12 hours
- I am tired
- I have had three meetings for three days this week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
- I don’t want to go to class
- My art history and management classes both have online text books and my eyes hurt
Blah, blah, blah…
All Good Things
Some good things about my day this morning and yesterday:
+ I might take 9 hours instead of 12…let’s hope this works
+ Got out of methods two hours early
+ Found a dollar on the street (haha, I dunno! That hadn’t happened to me in a while…)
+ Went to Spiderhouse and read for classss
+ Ate a breakfast of oatmeal, yogurt with frozen fruit and toast! Mmm…
+ It...
WatchI don’t think I ate meat today…egads.
Hmm...
Weird mood. Weird mood. Weird mood.
Par-tay Weekend
Hmm…I haven’t been very productive this weekend. Here’s why:
1. Beauty Bar on Friday (thus, no work was done)
2. Woodland with UAHA crowd for drinks/food and then the CRL where there were TONS of people and it was a tad claustrophobic
3. Party at some friends’ house tonight
Sunday shall be for reading and emailing people AKA another work day. Yes, I do enjoy having...
Rooome
I dropped Rise of Christianity and am now in Life and Art of Ancient Rome with John Clarke. That man is hilarious. I am pretty sure he is also gay. It’s awesome. He was going to say something about Sarah Palin and the Ara Pacis, but then he stopped himself. I believe his lectures will be interesting, to say the least.
Drop It Like It's Hawt
So, I dropped my ancient philosophy course. Yeah. I thought about it (for like 10 minutes) and thought, “Do I really want to read all those heavy ancient readings for an entire semester? Um. No.” And I’m not. Instead, I switched into a class about the rise of Christianity. Maybe it’ll help me become more in touch with my religion or something. Who knows. I might...

Ancient Philosophy
Today I only have one class at 10 AM which is ancient philosophy. I hope to the Greek gods that he doesn’t lecture today. I am so tired. I went to bed late last night (I really don’t know why) and am now paying for it. But it’s okay. Because this is my only class and I can sleep after that. Yessss. Wednesdays and Fridays will be the greatest.
Back To The Chalkboard
First day of school post! Wheeee! Uhh…was 5 minutes late to my Modernism in American Design & Architecture class. I would have been on time, but alas, I wasn’t. I found out they got rid of that spiral staircase that you can use to sneak in through the back of the ART 1.110 and 1.120 classrooms…so I had to walk in through the front door. Bleh. Not cool. Went to the SSB...
sexismandthecity:
The next time you are out walking in a public place, try this: Look directly into the eyes of each person you pass. You don’t have to stare. Just make brief eye contact. Then look down at the ground as you walk past. Repeat this a few times.
Next, try looking at people, then looking away—not down, just away. Keep your eyes on the same level and look at something else. I don’t...
Dogs
There is a dog right outside my window, that probably resides in the house behind our apartment complex, that I just want to punch in the face every morning. Every. Single. Morning. He wakes me up with his incessant barking. I HATE it. Dogs can suck it. Cats are way more bearable. They can take care of themselves for goodness sakes. And they are never as loud. God bless cats. They are...
A Cupcake Cake
I am baking a cupcake cake for my friend’s birthday party on Friday (aka tomorrow night). I hope it turns out well. It’s the first time I am using my cupcake cake pan. I am super excited. It is going to look like a GIANT CUPCAKE! This is the best invention ever.
No Rest
I can’t go to sleep right now. My body is physically tired, but there are a million thoughts zooming through my brain at warp speed. I want to go to sleep, but I can’t. I don’t know why. Part of it was because I was super super hungry. Now I am going to try to fall asleep on the couch. Maybe it will work. Maybe not. If not, I’ll be here again.
In Between
I hate the time in between waiting for school to start. I’m still on “winter break” technically, but it just feels like I am in limbo. Everything feels like it’s building up to this one intense moment of…DUN DUN DUN…SCHOOL. Why do I feel so anxious to start? I don’t want to feel this way. I need to feel calm and ready for my last semester. I need to...
Austin Again
I am back in Austin again. I’ve unpacked most of my things and am ready to do nothing for yet another week. I kind of just want school to start so I can get through with it and not have to think about it ever again.
Ch-ch-changes
I’d thought I’d change things up for the new year. New year, new…theme? Or something like that. I went to some art openings tonight. Four actually. They were all located in one building, haha. It reminded me of New York a lot. How there were entire buildings of galleries or artist’s work spaces just clustered together in one giant molecule, I guess you could say. ...
Just Desserts
Hanging out with a really good friend and eating fancy cake is a surefire way to have a great time. I wish life could always be like that. Oh and cute Japanese stores make life better too.
Thangs
Some things I have been up to:
1. Dentist
2. Goodwill shopping
3. Finding paid internships in NY
4. Workin’ on my resume
5. Trivia night + pie
6. Listening to music that makes me want to dance
New Year Thoughts
I guess I’ll make some “resolutions.” I am reluctant to call them that though (thus, the quotation marks) because that makes them so formal and serious. Instead, I’ll call them New Year Thoughts because it sounds less intense and more friendly. So here are some things I am going to think about for 2010:
1. Push the limits of my baking skills. Remember to try new...
