Its December

Holy geeze its December.

Still Here I suppose

So I'm still here, I'm just holding off on doing outfit posts for a while because of various things.
I'm sort of working on my health and the what not of it all.
But I didn't want to let November go all the way through and have NOTHING posted :)

Its my turn to be brave.

First of all, My initial thought started from my midterm.
My history of theater class was the only class I had a midterm in (IM SO LUCKY!)and we did get them back the other day. I got a 109% out of 100%. It amazed me. I can't remember the last time I got an A++ (yes, it deserves a plus plus!) on a final/midterm. Granted I've always been an A/B student, and received a C very seldom, but now, I'm shooting for ALL A's. But that's besides the point! I realized that History is my thing. I am so fascinated with it, and my teacher told us a quote at the beginning of the year that is true.

"History is the study of culture in a specific time"

Its so true, because if you look at how someone would react to something in the fifties, its different than they would have in the twenties or even father in the 18th century. Even fashion is thrown in there from time to time. There was a lawyer/political figure in the 17th century who had a wife known as Georgianna- who revolutionized fashion at the time, but she also knew what the heck she was talking about, and was a pretty well known figure for a female at the time. Its fascinating to me!

But I made the decision, which has been so hard by the way, to major in History. Once I do that I'm going to go to law school. When I get closer to Law School, I will finally make the decision of what I want to focus on exactly wise. But with this decision my gut feeling is really good, and I know I can do it! <3

I've decided on something that for one, will be financially secure, but at the same time I will get to help people! How fantastic is this idea? I'm just so happy right now Its literally seeping out of me!

Oh, and the song, listen to it. Its so inspiring and amazing. Idina Menzel is just magical. Not to mention there is a time in your life where its time to work for what you need, its a time for you to be BRAVE and rely on only you.

Wicked

So I was listening to the broadway Channel on my tv, and one of my favorite musical songs came on ever! It was for good from the musical Wicked, so I got this idea! If Elphaba & Glinda were in the real world sort of thing. I pictured Elphie was one of those kind of girls who wore cardigans and skirts.

If you've never seen Wicked, go see it, Now! Its an amazing musical.

We are a mess, we are failures, and we love it.

I Just had a major burst of energy.
I started laundry a while ago, and I need to finish a load before I could go to bed, but it was just like, bang! Burst of energy. If you had just walked in on my like three minutes ago, you would have seen my awesome white-girl dancing. Its way to late to be up right now, and THIS IS WHY I NEVER WANT TO GO TO CLASS.
not to mention its turned into a hell-hole.
It used to be awesome, then It got stressful and I hate it. Go figure, right?
Besides all that, I started watching skins again. Makes you feel good about the misfit inside of you plus the music is just fantastic.
This post wasn't much of well anything, but it just feels good to go at it for no reason I guess. It keeps you holding on.





The song is Dog Is Dead - Glockenspiel Song.

I think the show skins is fantastic. Generation three has been the most relate-able to me personally, because it's been a little more mellow than one and two, but Its also my generation (age wise, If I went to their school, I'd be with them right now)so its even more so. I think its interesting to put perspectives of people in your mind, and how easy something can make someone just, snap. Like in Generation one Cassie just went ape s-*. But I still loved her! In this that hasn't happened much, but Liv sort of just left, and didn't come back, and just escaped, which sounds pretty awesome if you think about it!

People are nuts, and they all do things different.
Its fascinating really.

The Hunger Games: Addicted.

I died. This video is hilarious.
With the release of Panem October, I feel like THG just blew up! Which isn't a bad thing, 'cause HP ended, and sure, I know there not the same by far, but it gives people something to waste time obsessing over when they should be doing something productive, haha.

BUT in seriousness, these people made an AWESOME Video. Its obviously Haymitch with the second quarter quell. Its a little bloody, just by the way.



LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES, thank you Suzanne Collins for my addiction <3

Skirt

Outfit Breakdown:
Shirt, Skirt, Tank: AE
ha.
That was easy!

Other than that, I got this outfit for a fraction of the original buying price! The skirt started at like 45 dollars, and I got it for just over 14! The shirt was on sale too, It was magical. <3

I don't really have much to inform other than the usual of stress over classes, no time to do anything, haha. I did learn that they've taken out my mocha coconut frappichino from starbucks for the season, BOO! But I did try the pumpkin spiced late, which they were more than happy to turn into a frappichino for me! I enjoyed it well enough, not as sweet as I had hoped for today, but it was still yummy!

Oh! and I think I finally got the Layout of the blog set up to where I like it!

Motivation Monday: Disney

My Favorites! I have the usual favorites that are from Aladdin and TLM, but these are love! <3

Treasure Planet


ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCORES EVER, from Tarzan <3

This song doesn't get enough credit! God Help the Outcasts!


Tarzan is my ALL Time favorite disney movie. Its just pretty much always been that way.


Tarzans Human mom is my favorite character, followed my Jane!


Then Tantor... Love.
I have a Tantor Stuffed animal that my Niece almost always has to sleep with, and sometimes she takes it to school with her, its adorable!

Pocahontas is that one movie that I want to watch when I'm sick. I love it tons, and the music is just...ohmylanta.

Not to mention I've always wanted this to happen


And Pocahontas is fierce.


Not to mention I've always wanted to do this...with the music that's involved!
Which leads me to this


I LOVE TREASURE PLANET.
Its just fantastic.




SO When I think Disney I think of the 90's classic princess movies, sure, but I think a lot of other movies too! Not only Disney actually, but Musical cartoons all over, like The Swan Princess and Quest for Camelot (Uh, BEST MOVIE EVER.) I have a sort of boy taste when It comes to them. That doesn't mean I wont sing my way though the little mermaid though! So I took this picture the other day, and It inspired this post actually! I took it and uploaded it and was like "That looks like Rapunzel! That should be my Motivation Post, 'cause Disney is amazing! You can't-not-sing to disney, and they are re-releasing a lot of the oldies into 3d (beauty and the beast, monsters inc, Nemo, & The Little Mermaid to be precise! ) for kids to see now, I think its fantastic!



Anyway, thats all for today! :]

Serendipity Sunday

I'm going to start, once a week, reflecting on the awesome things that have happened. The taken for granted moments that make up life. The good fortune we have on a regular day, like just getting up in the morning!

Curly Hair

So I have curly hair.

Which means Its either let natural or I straighten it. Whenever I sleep on it, sometimes it gets rats nests, and people always tell me
"Why don't you just brush your hair?"

Whelp folks.
It looks Ridiculousness thats why.

I've found that fighting mother nature is much harder than you think. Its inevitable. Sure you can go get treatments to chemically straighten your hair, but I don't want the chance of it going wrong and it making it look worse than is usually does.

So I brushed through my hair last night, because every once in a while IT HAS TO BE DONE. So after I brushed it I proceeded to straighten in, which means that if you ever see me with straight hair for no reason, then its probably because It got to ratted up, haha. But I ended up taking my camera out today and taking some pictures, I had my settings wrong, so it took a BUNCH of shots right after another than it doing its usual wait a few second then shoot, so I ended up with the interesting little reel at the top!

I personally thought it was nifty!
OH! And I finally got happy with my layout :)
Cheers!

Roses

I'm learning how to move my stuff around on here, its kind of exciting! anyway!
I love dresses and Cardigans and putting them together is just fantastic. I'm sad that it'll be too cold to do this soon. We've had some bi-polar weather where It was like 50 degrees last week and nearly eighty this week. Its all over the place, but I'm not complaining, I'm not quite ready to layer everything again!

Breakdown;
No shoes, ha. I wore a pair of AE flops earlier
Dress; Delias
Necklace;Icing
Tank;AE
Cardigan; Thrift,Vintage, aka my mom.

Perspective

Ten points to anyone who can tell me what this songs from!

I'd like to say I was busy, because it makes it seem like things are more exciting than they really are, but its not true. I could have muddled some sort of post, and I took pictures of an outfit I really liked the other day, I just didn't get around to moving them, and what not. So your stuck with nothing, until well this. I've been going back and forth between school and work, and its almost like a void, one you get stopped in, and its just routine enough that it's boring. Granted, I don't like to NOT know what I'm doing, that makes me stressed out and worried over nothing, but most the time I'm like that anyway. But back to the void and what not. I've realized that walking seems to be one of the things that helps get me un-stuck, well sort of. Since I got my glasses before the summer start, everything looks different. I use the phrase "Its like seeing in HD" I mean before you have glasses, you don't know any better, but now I wont go out of the house without them. It just makes everything more fantastical. I mean I've always been an artistic person, yeah, but with my glasses I see even more detail, and even more beauty in things like grass, and trees. OH I LOVE TO LOOK AT TREES NOW. The fall has always been my favorite, its just beautiful, and our blueberry bushes are turning colors and I walked past them, on my walk, and the reddest leaves ever were on them, it was just so pretty!

Back to the walking thing. College can feel overwhelming when things change. They tell you that its normal for a student to change their major three times, well I started in the spring, and just now began as a full time student at the fall semester and I've already changed mine twice, and the third time will be in the spring, simply because I missed the ten day gap to change. Its just crazy, and your mind rushes with the thoughts of what should I do now, that wasn't a good idea, what should I do now with the REST of my life. Its stressful, and I know I can't be the only one! So I walk. I walk around the lake, every once in a while I'll take my camera, but always my glasses. Even the pavement on the streets looks prettier! I always stop at the creek, and go down the path, that obviously is always changing with the season, I watch. I see the change of trees falling, the water levels, and its just relaxing. I always have that moment when I'm like

"Maybe I should do that thing Emerson did, you know with the hut?"

But even then, he cheated and took his laundry to civilization. Besides that! I find myself loving the thought of being lost in the nature that I'm almost seeing for the first time again, even when you've looked at that same spot for over eight years. Everything is changing, and that is the only thing that does stay the same, change. Which brings me back to school. Its hard not to be stressed over things, and none of my stress has been with my actual courses, its been with picking my direction, odd huh? I was thinking about it in my Theater class when my professor talked about the student directed play, I had thought about it, because I love theater, its always been something I've been drawn too, that I'd like to look at it a bit more. She mentioned it slightly, and as I thought about it more, I thought it'd be a fantastic idea! To be involved in at least one production while I was there would be nice, a good way to meet some other people but then BAM, it hit me. I have no time. Between classes, and going to work, I have two days off in the week, and when I'm not at work, I'm in class. It kind of bummed me out a bit especially since the performance was a comedy! Maybe I should look more at it? Perhaps the only time they practice would be after Seven! That would be lucky, but highly unlikely. So I'll stick that in my back pocket for now!

Back to classes and stuff. I'd like a sign, you know. January of this year, I knew what I Was doing. BAM, decided. Planned it out. By the summer, little hazy, by the END of the summer, decision changed. By this time my hand are in the air, its very crazy. To be honest, I can't even think of what I want to do right now, There so many possibilities that nothing will narrow down for me. Like one thing, I could do Business, which sub-divides into like five different things. Then we have Arts. I love me some arts. Granted the qualification of "Associate of arts" Is from theater to a history degree, heck I've even thought about an English degree. I'd love to write books ;) But I've even considered doing digital media, I'd love to help make video games, AND get paid for it.

The only thing I can tell you I don't want to go into is a Math field, that's all. Its just so hard to decide! I can remember a year ago this time, I would have chose to be like one of my biggest role models at that time, and work with students. That at this point even still sounds good, despite the fact that I'd shut that idea out a while ago. Hopefully I can find something that strikes some inspiration, and I can figure this stuff out before I'm sixty!

Its hard to decide things, but I should walk around a bit in my day without my glasses on, then put 'em on, and see things in a clearer way, maybe it'll help me make some choices. This was more of a rant post, but hey, that's okay. I'll do an outfit later.

Gleek Week:Heather

I know she's not the main Voice, but I don't care for the tribute episode songs, boo.


I missed a day, whoops. Got busy!
The outfit that I based off of wasn't actually in the show, but I love Brittany/Heather's outfits, they are always gorgeous! I used this video though :)

Gleek Week: Darren

Okay!
So I love Darren Criss in glee, he's my second favorite character! So I did the blazer for obvious reasons, and since I didn't have a red tie I decided to well, use my Gryffindor for those who know the AVPM, I thought it suited it so well. Anyway, I haven't watched the episode yet tonight, but I'm gonna do it sometime tonight hopefully!

Back to homework I go!


Love this song, I could have used any of the Darren Scenes when he's a warbler, but I really liked this one! <3

Gleek Week: Lea

So!Glee starts this week, so I decided to do something different with my outfit posts. This week I'll stick 'em all to glee. Such as today, I decided to do my favorite character Lea Micheles Rachel Berry. I got inspired to do this because of this:

The dress she wears is kind of similar!
So i'll do a picture, the inspiration, and my favorite song sung by that character. Wish me luck!

BlackBird

For first, I found a new script I'm in love with! Look at the fantastic yellow-ey effect it has~ Second, New spot for pictures. I have to move the Tiko though (Chinchilla).

Okay, So I've had an interesting weekend, Friday I went out with one of my friends, which is older than me, and we realized that going out on homecoming weekend, on campus, was a bit silly, because there would be NO way to get me into anywhere, because Eighteen doesn't let you do anything, its so lame. We ended up staying out until like three or so, and It ended up being a really interesting and pretty fun night! But it made for the next day to be really long. I was out again all day on saturday, and I swear It all caught up to me today, the new classes, the lack of sleep, because saturday I fell asleep at Seven o clock, yes, I'm serious. It was still day time outside. Crazy stuff. I got up today and despite having a full night of sleep, felt like a slug all day, it was so long!

Positive? Glee starts on tuesday, how exciting is that?! :D

So I'm going to start ending with quotes! Because honestly, The whole picture thing as I'd hoped isn't helping as much as I'd wanted to, so lets kick it up a notch, yeah?!

“Know yourself. Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.” - Ann Landers

Little too Much

“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”

I've been feeling really nostalgic lately...

Faux

Music is therapeutic and helpful in so many ways, anyway, I didn't do a outfit post today, because well, I wore a hoodie around all day, and not even a cute one, just a flat out boring one. But I am always messing with my hair, trying to find ways to tame the beast, and last night I decided to try the Faux Bob again, I'd done it a few times and it just didn't work right, but this time is worked pretty well! So I posted the pictures.
Anyway, that's all.

Be Ok

Dreams

So i've been having connecting dreams lately, that I remember. I don't often remember my dreams unless I'm sick, and i've kind of been sick, sure, but usually when I'm sick I have to dreams, and the ones I've been having aren't either. It's about people, and it's really interesting. I'm the kind of person who thinks dreams have a way of telling your subconscious things, and in a way they do a lot of the time. My dreams produce that Deja Vu feeling a lot, and that's interesting enough in itself. But back to the dreams! There was one night where I was with people at this house, in my neighbors garage, and i was taking pictures while we were all hanging out there. The odd thing was that I don't hang out with any of these people in reality, and I never have. It was peculiar. Then the next night I had a dream about people I used to hang out with, and don't, and that was just, odd. It's said that these things are here to tell you something, and they say that if you dream about people that your going through a time in your life where your mind takes you back to the "good old days" Or that person you might be dreaming about is in need of help. I think it's ironic that they say that, because stuff happened recently that makes the second reason pretty legitimate. I wish you could just know what your dreams mean, right off the bat, and it be mapped out for you, but I guess nothing is that easy is it?

Oh, and to that person that was in my second dream, and something happened, I hope your alright even though we don't chill anymore and I don't really like you, hahahaa. :]

Dots

I need to invest in some more fall frendly shoes.
Have you ever noticed that just wearing your hair different makes you feel like you've gotten a new hair cut or something like that? Yup, got that feeling. Anyway, its been busy lately and I still don't have all my homework done. Awesome, right? Not. Its depressing as all get out. I feel like I'm still in high school a lot of the time, just with old people, and you know, a more mix of ethnicity. It pretty unfortunate, how stuck you can feel even though your moving forward.

Rumblings

Ever feel like you can't catch your breath, even though your breathing this very second?

Ever feel like your traveling the same way and there is no escape from the rigorous patter?

Do you ever feel like your life is just stuck, going no where. But yet your too afraid for it to actually go somewhere for the fear of change, and the next moment your so anxious to leave the world you know behind with nothing but the clothes on your back?

Its terribly frustrating, not to mention I don't feel any better now than I did this morning. I'm not going to be a happy camper if I have to go to class tomorrow sick. Because missing class is a no. oh, that's another thought. The idea of if your sick the world just might com-bust. But I know that's not true, Its just the fear of missing a class and miraculously failing simply because i'd missed ONE day. Lovely thoughts right?

I'm going to try and got to bed now, despite the headache that's pounding louder than a few hours ago. Being sick makes me Grumpy.

SkinsFive

I'm sick, which means I am watching Tv and movies and what not. I started Season Five of Skins and A lot of fans have given it some crap, but I think it's fantastic so far! There really good at keeping it really Skins. Things I've noticed, or thought so far:

Mini is like Cassie. In looks at least. Mini is more a bitch.

I love Grace. She's fantastic.

I don't know who the guy is who came up to Franky and was like BANG. but I love him and they should be married.

This would be kids my age right now, this season five is my generation of 1992/1993 freshmen. How awesome is that?

Other than that, I've got nothing more interesting to say!

Scrapbooks in time.

Its odd when you read something, and know the person who wrote it & still feel bad for them even if you dislike them. Its peculiar how the human emotion can have you feel something that you'd never think you'd feel for a person after years of not really wanted to speak to them. Whats even weirder to me is in stead of thinking "Well she deserved it" I actually found myself thinking "I hope she's alright"

Hm.
Whelp. That's all in a nut shell. I guess I'll have something more interesting later on in the day. Maybe.

Musings

I'd like to be more Vivacious.
I'm the sort of person who will be sitting in a room, and something will be going on and I see different situations go on in my mind, But I never act or do anything remotely like that. I guess you might say I just let things slip through my fingers from time to time, but I am generally a sociable person when I feel comfortable enough to well, be myself. Its just a thought.

Anyway, in other news that's not my own musing...I've had an amazing weekend. I love when we have people from out of town come in because It makes me feel loved, its fantastic. Its just awesome. I know I'm rambling on and on about how lovely it is, but Its just a breath of fresh air even for a few days something different than the usual boring drawl of it all.

Oh, as a last random thing, I'd love to make rainbow cupcakes. There so cute!

RaRa Riot

New Addiction.
Love 'em.

Picture drop

I have nothing more interesting to say, so I took some random pictures, ha. Class is, well it's class. There's no good or bad to report. Its just there, and it's going well enough that I'm not going to mess with it. Oh, have some music :]

I really like underground music. Fat Segal might be topping Skrillix though, shame.

To read

"To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.”

I've been reading like a fish floats in water. Its crazy how much I've just wanted to read, I guess its just a comfort thing for me. I love to do it, and there is nothing better to do than stick your nose in a book when you don't want to socialize or meet new people. Yes, its lovely. I've nearly finished the Hunger Games in the last two days. I started it yesterday, finished the first book yesterday, today the second, and I've started the third. I'd be done with the third If we hadn't taken so much time in town today, but it was good, a long day though and alas as hard as I try not to, I'm not broke again. I'm not too happy about that, it actually frustrates me so much its not funny.

But aside that I finished all four Luxe books in the last week, as well as started the nine lives of chloe king, A vintage affair, and Little Dorrit. I've just been on a roll. I'll get through 'em, and then not read stuff for months on end and towards christmas it'll be the reading thing again, haha. Not much more interesting is going on. Classes are a piece of cake so far, but I know its only a matter of time until they start to get harder. I really enjoy them for the most part, I love the whole atmopshere of "I'm not your baby-sitter" that teachers have at the college level, not only that but there practical. My business 101 teacher flat out said that if you were fixing a refrigerator you weren't going to have over one thousand tools and tricks memorized you'd pull for a manual, and it's true. Its so refreshing.

Anyway, back to reading. :]

Oh....and its September.
holy geeze, can't believe that.

So, philosophical me, I'm always contemplating what the hell is the point, why are we here. Yadda yadda. Trying to figure out who I am, who I want to be that sort of thing. It makes for some weird thoughts. I was going to go somewhere with this...but now I don't remember where. So I'm going to change the subject.

Love yourself, seriously.
It makes things so much easier if you don't hate your reflection. It makes things seem more achievable! You have to have confidence to try, and with out it, its hard to do much of anything but sit and wonder, so don't sit around and wonder. Go do something amazing. Not just amazing but life changing for someone. I feel like if you can touch at least one person at least once in a good way in your life, it's a life well spent.

I'm to tired to do anything interesting, haha.

Still Here

“It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before” - Jane Austen




Experience makes you who you are, it also helps you grow as a person. A child is a child because well, they still are sheltered from the world. We grow into our own, some before others, some after. We form these figures, and for girls it seems like the older we get, the more we learn, the more beautiful we become. That the experience has made us stronger, helped us become a better person, and even at twenty nine a woman is more rich and beautiful in expeience than she was ever at the naive age of nineteen. It is hard to remember that things we stress and worry over at such a young age, really are little things. We fret and become nearly dependent on the chaos, with out it, it's like we don't know what to do. What would most of us do if we had an afternoon to just sit and do nothing? An afternoon to watch the clouds with nothing but yourself.

Its hard for us in the society we are, to take ourselves away, even for a moment from everything and just breath. We find it hard to be detached, when generations before us thought it was simple. Its funny, because we stop remembering what beautiful is. We forget that it's a smile on a face, that it might not be that size zero waist line, but the fact that you have some figure, and know how to be proud of it.

I am learning that specific lesson a hard way, I always have been. Its hard to accept your body, accept your hair, what ever it might be every woman wants to change something even if its just the way your hair flips, or the way your feet lay in flat shoes, its something, anything. These traits are often taken over by our minds, we obsess and spaz until the consume us, they become more important than the really important things. It is hard to remember that you have good things in you. I have a really hard time seeing this, its always a "Well maybe if I do this..." Or "Oh I should have said this instead, it was far more witty!" But this is not a good way to think.

You are who you are, and sure some things can be changed, but your foundation is you, the bricks that build your body are not meant to be changed that much. We are suppose to grow and evolve as people and we should always be reaching for something more than we are, but we also have to remember that we were made beautiful, for a reason. That we were meant to do something, that I was meant to do something greater. Its hard to remember in day to day, but it's important.

When I start to write something, I usually have a legitimate plan of what's going to be in it, but by the time I get around to writing it, It just becomes a lot of stuff, I mean just random stuff. But I just have a lot on my mind lately, and I did the outfit posts, like now-ish, and I realized that they might not be the best quality, but I looked at 'em, and for the first time in a bit I didn't look at them wish disdain! That's actually a really good thing. I am an observant person, I notice random details in the world with everything but myself. I probably couldn't pick my eyes or my lips out of a line up of people. It's just how I am, I never used to focus on what I looked like, and I'm trying to feel more of a person and realizing who I am, that kind of thing. I guess its a bit odd, but hey. Its me! :]

Oh! Before I forget, Outfit breakdown

Hai.

I'm tired,
but I think it's a good thing.

I got a lot done today, got a lot of frusterting stuff done with, and It's good. I finished my homework tonight, and I love that. Since I don't have class on tuesdays or thursdays I was smart, I have a lovely break. The only problem? Getting through the four/five classes (monday It's five, thanks to my Bus 101). It just seems a lot longer than it is, but I know it's not. I got so used to having my spring night class (two and a half hours) & my summer classes (Both two hours) that this 50 minute stuff? SIMPLE. It goes by pretty quickly. I just find my gaps less enjoyable than I thought they'd be. But I guess when I start actually getting more busy that will change and It will be more useful. But anyway, I have some really interesting people in some of my classes, and some people I had my Eng 101 with! She was amazing, and it's fun to have her in the same class. I sort of miss that lazy one. But I guess it holds a good part in my mind because It was my first college class, ha. I also realized that I have NO classes in the D wing, how sad! All my classes have been in the D wing so far, and now I have none! But the fun thing Is i'm really learning campus, bust the sucky part? SO MANY PEOPLE. I did night classes in the spring, so I didn't notice it cause campus goes dead around Five, and summer, the same, not many people. But the school year. SO MANY. Its annoying to find some where to sit, but I've luckily gotten places :]

Whelp, the important thing is to stay positive and realize that even though I get to class at nine, and are there till like three,I don't see many people I went to high school with. That's lovely!

Lalala.

Busy, have fun with a video instead :]

Day One-ish

So I'm to tired to do an inspiration post. But instead I'll break down my day.

I started my day thinking I was only going to Four classes today but by the end of the day I was taking Five!

I got up at 6 o'clock this morning.
Took a shower
wasted time
went to school, went to the bookstore to find that I couldn't get my other book today. But good news? I don't need the book for like two weeks, ha. Tried to return a book for a class that got canceled, but couldn't do that 'cause the system was jacked up. SO, kept the heavy books. Trucked to the councilors office, set up an appointment to change my major for a SECOND Time, ha. Set appointment, went to first class. I'm glad my first class the teacher is upbeat. Its a business management class and the teacher is cut and dry but in the good way. He doesn't sugar coat, and he makes the class extremely passable. Then, my computer class. GONNA BE A CAKE WALK. Oh my lanta, it will be so easy its not even funny. After that, I have a break from 10:50-12:00. First I went to the business office to see if I could get into a business 101 that was canceled last thursday, and luckily I could! I got that done, and went along my way. Instead of actually going to have lunch like I should have, I ate a pop tart and sat in the C wing of the school reading my management book and taking notes. Yay for nutrition! My next class is a Theatre History class, and it does NOTHING towards my degree, but I really wanted to take it anyway, so I am, and the teacher is really nice. I have another break after that, an hour. Then I got to my math class where the teacher is odd to say the least. After that I have another break this time it'd three freaking hours! that sucks, I'm telling you. But it's only on mondays and I got my class in! So in total after my first semester at the school I will have 21 credits thanks to my 2 summer classes :]

anyway, im beat. Bed time? Yes.

Walk a mile in my shoes, then you judge me. Before that you don't have a right to even imagine who I am. People are terrible, and its not cool. People feel if you poke them, and even if they don't show you, doesn't mean it didn't effect them. On a brighter note, I'm starting my fall classes tomorrow even though It's one less than I thought it was going to be, joy.

No one is alone :)

Inspirational thoughts for today?
No one is alone, remember that! With everyone going off to school, its a good thought to remember especially if your stuck in your home town going to a community college. I mean, it's saving me money, right? Oh, and I thought about this too; I won't fail out. I mean the community college I'm at is pretty much like a high school for adults & kids, so yeah, I've gotten an A in all the classes I've take (better than high school actually....) so I'm reminded of people who go to these big schools and can't end up handling it, fail out, and end up where I am. At least I'm stepping step by step, I mean I could do a university, but I chose for a few reasons to start at the community school I am at now. Its just always discouraging to say good bye to friends. Oh, and I found out on thursday that my Bus 101 class was canceled and the only one that is open is one that I have another class, boo. So that means I'm taking a THE 101,MGT 101, MAT 110 & CIS 101. I guess its not too bad since I've already got 6 credit hours, ha. But lets move on, yeah?

I wanted to close up the shirt, and when I did, I happened to be making a really stupid face. My camera was giving me hell all day with the automatic flash, and I thought it'd stopped. I got a few different up close shots too, but the fabric didn't fall as well as this one did, so I used it. Nothing much more interesting to say, ha.

Know My Name

SHANNON;
Shannon means "small, wise one".

Whelp, I'm short, and I'm pretty Wise, so that's legitimate, yeah?

The meaning of the name Shannon most probably refers to an ancient Celtic deity identified with a river in Ireland. The River Shannon is the principal river of Ireland. 240 mi. (386 km) long flowing SW from Northern Ireland to the Atlantic. The River Shannon presumably refers to the Goddess associated with the river, "Sionna" (pronounced SHAN-nen).[2] The Irish goddess sought out the hazelnuts of wisdom which were believed to contain éigse, the spirit and inspiration of poetry.

In Celtic mythology, the search for wisdom was usually made by a woman who found it in a river or well. Always, she is changed by the knowledge into a new being; a goddess.

There are several Irish legends accounting for the name Shannon. A well called Connla's Well existed under the sea that was filled with fish and either hazel or rowan trees, depending on which legend you are reading, dropped their nuts or berries, depending again on the legend, into the well. The salmon that ate the nuts or the berries were thought to gain great knowledge and wisdom. This made the fish very desirable and fishermen worked very hard to get and catch these.

Women were not allowed to eat these so-called "fish of knowledge or wisdom."

However, a brave rebel female named Shannon (spelled Sionnain in Gaelic), who some say is the daughter of the moon, ignored this rule and caught and ate one of the fish. Immediately upon this infraction, the well water rose up and carried Shannon to the Atlantic Ocean, creating the River Shannon.

I got that from Wiki 'cause I was too lazy to re-type it all.

But anyway, I've always thought this was really cool, the meanings behind names, zodiacs, that sort of thing.It's how how these things sort of are a part of you, and in some cases (like mine) really are legitimate. I love history, learning about the past, and philosophy, that sort of stuff just really interests me. Even some scientific stuff presented in the right context really draws me in too! But you know what I find is unfortunate? How people think they know you just because they know your name, yeah, how lame is that? I've learned a lot of the time that people grow; they change. Well, for the most part. Some asss-holes are just Ass-holes their whole life, but if you think about it, your learning, and forming yourself every day, now matter if your going to school or not. A day where you do not learn something, anything, is a day wasted!

Some people will always let their stubborn prideful selves get the better of them, and cause them to lose out on things, and that's always unfortunate!

Anyway, I really don't know where I was going with this today, I was just tired, and didn't wanna come up with an outfit post (I stayed in my jammies all day, haha.) so this is what came up!

I feel like our music is having another "British Invasion" Like when the beatles came out everyone went crazy about the UK, well today we have Harry Potter, & the growing fame of Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding, and a lot of UK artists. I really enjoy it! Plus my roots are from there. My grandpa said somehow down the line were related to Ben Franklin, how cool is that?
