I Fail At Keeping a Schedule + The Man In The Forest

Lol. So. Remember how I was all, "Yeah! Gonna stay on a normal schedule and update regularly!" NOPE. I'm not good at that, apparently. I got all involved with schoolwork, and Occupy Columbia, and then my awesome boyfriend flew me out to see him for the weekend, and in between all that I forgot to update. I was actually on the verge of deleting this account, cause I never update, when something caught my attention and  I though it was worth mentioning...

So, my mommy recently moved from the suburbs out to rural, western Massachusetts. The area is heavily wooded, and the house itself is right on a pond. As someone who was brought up in a fairly forest-y area, I think the whole place is beaudGlmdWwuDQpIb3dldmVyLCB0aGUgd29vZHMgYXJlIHJhdGhlciBjcmVlcHkuIC4uIG5vdCBleGFjdGx5IHRoZSBraW5kIG9mIHBsYWNlIGEgZ2lybCB3YW5kZXJzIGFyb3VuZCBpbiBhbG9uZS4gT24gbXkgcGFyZW50cycgcHJvcGVydHksIGFjdHVhbGx5LCB0aGVyZSBhcmUgYSBmZXcgZm91bmRhdGlvbnMgbGVmdCBvdmVyIGZyb20gb2xkIG9sZCBidWlsZGluZ3MgdGhhdCBlaXRoZXIgcm90dGVkIGF3YXkgb3IgYnVybmVkIGRvd24uIFlvdSBzZWUgdGhlc2UgdGhpbmdzIGFsbCB0aGUgdGltZSBpbiBOZXcgRW5nbGFuZC4NCg0KDQoNCkx1Y2tpbHkgSSBkaWRuJ3QgaGF2ZSB0byB3YW5kZXIgYXJvdW5kIHRoZSBmb3Jlc3Qgb24gbXkgb3duLCBJIGhhZCBhIHN1cGVyIGNvb2wgYm95ZnJpZW5kIHdpdGggbWUgdG8gY2hlY2sgdGhpbmdzIG91dC4gV2Ugd2FuZGVyZWQgYWNyb3NzIHRoZSByb2FkIHRvIHRoZSBmb3Jlc3QgKHdoZXJlIHRoYXQgb2xkIHN0b25lIHdhbGwgaXMpIGFuZCB3YW5kZXJlZCBkb3duIHRoZSByaXZlciBhIGJpdC4gSGVyZSdzIGhpbSBsb29raW5nIGN1dGUgWEQNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQpXZSBzcGxpdCB1cCBhIGJpdCBhbmQgSSB0b29rIGEgbWlsbGlvbiBhbmQgb25lIHBpY3R1cmVzIG9mIHRoZSByaXZlciwgdGhlIGZvbGlhZ2UgKGJlYXV0aWZ1bCBpbiBOZXcgRW5nbGFuZCwgb2YgY291cnNlKSBhbmQgY2hlY2tlZCBvdXQgdGhlIHJpdmVyLiBUaGVyZSB3YXMgc29tZSByYW5kb20gaHV0IHVwIG9uIGEgaGlsbCwgYnV0IHRoZW4gSSB0aGluayBJIGhhZCB3YWxrZWQgdG8gdGhlIGVkZ2Ugb2YgbXkgbW9tJ3MgcHJvcGVydHkgYXQgdGhhdCBwb2ludC4gDQoNCldlIHdhbGtlZCBiYWNrIHRvIG15IG1vbSdzIGhvdXNlIGFuZCBoYWQgbHVuY2ggYXQgdGhlIHBvbmQsIHdoaWxlIHNoZSBraW5kYSByYW4gZG93biB0aGUgbGlzdCBvZiBzdHVmZiB0aGF0IGhhZCB0byBiZSBkb25lIHRvIHRoZSBob3VzZS0gaXQgd2FzIHJlYWxseSBpbiBkaXNyZXBhaXIgd2hlbiBzaGUgYm91Z2h0IGl0LCBidXQgc2hlIGxpa2VzIGZpeGluZyB0aGluZ3MgdXAgYW5kIG1ha2luZyB0aGVtIGp1c3QgcGVyZmVjdCBmb3IgaGVyIHRhc3Rlcy4gU2hlIGhhZCBhbHdheXMgd2FudGVkIHRvIHJlbm92YXRlIG91ciBvbGQgaG91c2UgaW4gdGhlICdidXJicywgYnV0IG5ldmVyIGNvdWxkIGZpbmQgdGhlIHRpbWUuDQoNCkhlcmUncyB3aGVyZSBzdHVmZiBnb3Qgd2VpcmQuIEkgZGVjaWRlZCB0byBydW4gdXAgdG8gdGhlIGF0dGljIHRvIHNlZSBpZiBhbnl0aGluZyBvZiBtaW5lIHdhcyBiZWluZyBzdG9yZWQgdXAgdGhlcmUsIGFuZCBpZiBJIHdhbnRlZCBpdC4gQXMgaXQgdHVybmVkIG91dCBpdCB3YXMgYWxsIHN0dWZmZWQgdXAgYWdhaW5zdCBhIHdhbGwgYW5kIGJlaGluZCBldmVyeXRoaW5nIGVsc2UsIHNvIEkgZ2F2ZSB1cCBhbmQgd2VudCB0byBsb29rIG91dCB0aGUgd2luZG93LiBOb3QgbXVjaCBvZiBhIHZpZXcsIGp1c3QgdGhlIGd1ZXN0IGhvdXNlICh5ZXMsIHRoZXJlJ3MgYSBndWVzdCBob3VzZSEpIGFuZCB0aGUgd29vZHMsIGJ1dC0NCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KV2hvIElTIHRoYXQ/IFdobyB0aGUgaGVsbCB3YW5kZXJzIGFyb3VuZCB0aGUgZm9yZXN0IGluIChJIHRoaW5rKSBhIGJ1c2luZXNzIHN1aXQ/IEkgZ290IGEgYmV0dGVyIHBpY3R1cmUsIGJ1dCBhcyB5b3UgY2FuIHNlZSBpdCdzIHN0aWxsIHByZXR0eSBibHVycnku

Anyway, he was gone when I went back outside, and I didn't have time to look around for him cause Andrew and I were already late for a 6 Flags trip!!!!!! It ended up being a pretty uneventful trip, as a few of the rides were shut down, and we just ended up waiting in line for like, an hour to go on a haunted tour in the weeWoods. It ended up not really being scary, but I've worked haunted houses before, and when you have to give birth to demon babies for 3 hours every night for a week, things just don't scare you the same anymore.

However, it was worth it to go cause Andrew surprised me with an early Hanukkah present- Season Passes to 6 Flags for next year! I am excite!

So it was a really great weekend. It's just too bad that I got back to Chicago and immediately got sick. Lame.

 Well, I'm off to do some grocery shopping! See ya!

Monday Update

So I didn't update on Saturday like I said I would. Whoops.

Saturday update: did lots of stuff this week.Whoo. Roommate's Birthday @Cheesecake factory. Delicious!

Monday:

So, I have about 50 million projects due this week. SUPER FUN TIMES. First off, the thing I'm working on now (literally) is another Fashion Design project... Relatively easy, but it's artistic and requires a lot of exacto-knife-ing and gluing, something I'm not really an expert on.

Second, I have a midterm paper due tomorrow for English. I whipped out the draft in about an hour, and my teacher loved it, so I guess I'll be okay. I just have a few edits to make, which I can do in the library between classes. I DO have a three-hour gap in there, after all. Thank GOD.

Third, I have a Fashion Business media report due on Wednesday. This is par for the course, we have one due every week... and I usually do mine right before class anyway.

Fourth, I have to come up with and submit an idea for a project for my History final. the class is about the ancient world, I figured I'd do something about ancient Judaism, since that's a pretty accessible topic for me... Still, it's a big project to contemplate, and I'm not looking forward to crunch time on actually completing it.

And last, I have a myriad of catching up to do in Management, cause I am SO behind in that class. not only do I have to complete a questionnaire about a company, I then have to research and discuss that company at great length... and I have no idea when that project is due. Ugh. Im thinking about dropping that class...

In OTHER, much happier news, I am GOING HOME FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!! A certain awesome boyfriend bought me a ticket home, and I can't freaking WAIT to see him :) I also can't wait to get out of the city; as much as I love it, it's loud and unsettling, and I'll always prefer the suburbs. So this'll be a really nice, relaxing end to a stressful midterms week :D

Ciao for now!

Schedule

So, to keep myself from losing track of my blog here, I'm going to try sticking with a fairly regular schedule of posts. So here's the line-up:

Sundays: A preview for the week ahead. I'l try to keep this interesting and not just about school stuff, although it's been most of what's on my mind.

Tuesday/Wednesday: I'll post a mid-week update on one of these days. It'll  probably just be a few lines long, just to jot down what I've been doing.

Saturday: Weekend update. Pretty self-explanatory, I'll let you know how things are looking for the weekend as a whole! :)

Bonus: Fashion Fridays- every couple Fridays I'll post about something fab from the world of fashion, a designer, a new line, etc. This will be kinda random from one week to the next

See you soon.

Busy Busy Busy

Ugh. I PROMISED myself I wouldn't let this happen. I didn't want to start ANOTHER blog and let it go without  warning. So I won't.

I have excuses for my absence, I swear. First of all, I have school (Duh) and have had sooo much work to do... but more than that, I've been incredibly sick. I know that shouldn't be an excuse- I can just update while I'm home in bed, right? Nope. I'm only sick when I'm AT home. Even now that I'm feeling somewhat better  (I assume because my stress has gone down) I still feel crappy when I get home. It's like... like I can't get enough air. Plus I'm nauseous a lot, but I've always had a sensitive stomach.

It's so strange. All it takes is a quick walk around the block to feel better, but as soon as I get back to my apartment, I feel dead again. Anyway, the reason I'm saying this is because I haven't felt like doing anything... I've been doing all my homework in the computer lab, but I like to work on my blog when I'm at home, so I can get up and walk away without the possibility of losing my computer.

But anyway, for now, with less stress, I should be able to keep up on it regularly... at least until the next round of projects.

Until next time!
