So my finals just ended Tuesday afternoon and I'm already going a little crazy.  I'm trying to stay focused on knitting, but also reading, cleaning, etc.  I just get so damn anxious when school is out.  It's a good thing right now, though.

Because I'm learning new things about knitting everyday, and getting into the advanced stuff, I'm totally ( Read more... )

 So, exciting/surprising news!  Blake has a sister that lives in Alexandria, Virginia (a few minutes outside D.C.), and she has invited Blake and I to move in with her and her b/f because their roomates are moving out.  This would of course happen after I graduate in May, if it does happen.  
So how do I feel about it?  Kind of excited.  But also ( Read more... )

 So I finally saw "The Darjeeling Limited"  It was less grandiose than Wes Anderson's previous films, but still very bittersweet and sad.  and Bill Murray is in it for like, a second.  He chases a train and misses it and when Blake and I saw it, Blake said, "Bill Murray was supposed to be in this movie, but he missed the train".  It was qute.  I ( Read more... )

 Last week was tricky.  Colombus Day is hard, because it was always the holiday that Dad and I considered "ours" I guess...we would always tell eachother that we missed one another most often on Colombus Day if we hadn't met up in awhile.  Not to say that I had a holiday with my dad and my siblings didn't, but i dunno, it just was special to our ( Read more... )

So far, this weekend has been horrible.  It's Fall Break!  It needs to be awesome.  but it isn't really.  All i want to do is hang out in Richmond with my mom because she is my favorite person and her house is clean and pretty.  I may do that tonight.  dunno ( Read more... )

I've been working out 5 times a week for the past 2 weeks, and i can already tell a difference.  I feel so much better all the time, and i get to sleep on time, feel motivated for my classes, and feel just generally pleasant.  I am rather sore though, in a good way.  Today I did a class that had pilates in it for the first time and DAMN i know why ( Read more... )

 this weekend was way different than i planned it to be.  i didn't end up going to Richmond to see Across the Universe with my mom, but i will next weekend, i think.  On Saturday I was so tired and feeling like I was getting a bit sick and didn't want to drive, so I just figured i'd go home, go to sleep, and call it a day.  but!  kt and bk ended up ( Read more... )

 so I'm trying not to feel like I'm 15 again and none of my thoughts, feelings, and tastes matter to anyone else but me, but it's difficult in certain situations.  I'm doing this new thing, see, where I don't sweat the small stuff and where i'm happy being myself, no matter what others think.  well, I didn't plan it that way.  it was just sort of ( Read more... )
