I really like my new nail polish color;

it is very pretty.I'm trying really hard to grow my nails out right now. Hopefully the new colors I bought this week will help make that happen. It'd sure be nice if it did.I am very excited for 2011. I suppose I go into every new year with a positive mindset, but there's obviously a few reasons I'm especially looking forward to this upcoming one. I'm also very excited that I don't really have to...

christmas break

So I've technically been done with school since Monday, but now that I'm done with graduation it officially feels like break.I am super horrible at keeping gifts a secret, and I hate having to wait extra time to give them to people. Therefore, Emily already got to open part of her Christmas present (which was hand-crafted, of course).Emily's SWECA...

Michelle, have you been crafting again?

Why, yes. Yes, I have been.Since Alexis has threatened to steal my owl artwork, and I had her for secret santa, I decided to make her one out of scrapbooking paper.Alexis' OwlsI had intentions of finishing some other projects this week since my finals ended early, but that hasn't happened. That's okay; it's been a good week otherwise, so I'm not...

stumblin'

I've been stumbling pretty frequently lately. Which is a horrible, horrible, horrible waste of time right now. But I've been finding some great stuff.I've also found an excellent site for delegated chores amongst roommates (much needed!) and site to make lists and earn points for completed tasks. 10 points FTW. now I just need to accomplish the other...

break

As expected, I've thoroughly been enjoying break. I accidentally crawled into bed around 6.30PM last night and didn't get up until 8 or so this morning. Brilliant. That was the second time I've slept 12+ hours in one night. I probably should not make this a habit...Today I started "cleaning" my closet. Basically, I relocated half of the giant pile of junk that built up on the closet floor to the entirety...

writing a paper

So I have a rough draft of a group paper due this week, and I have been very very very unmotivated about writing it. It's literally the ONLY thing I have left to before finals (false: I need to do a movie review for my leadership class, but that seems like more fun than actual work).Today, I am going to conquer my lack of motivation. I plan to buckle...

rebranding

Earlier this weekend I attended the Griffith's Leadership Society fall conference. I'm really glad I went. I've been to my fair share of conferences in college, but most of them were muddled with information to improve other things. This one was basically just about improving myself, which was very refreshing. I felt like I learned a lot and have some things to focus on to create a better me.One session...

frazzled.

I opened the page for a new blog entry, because I haven't written anything for awhile.After staring mindlessly at the blank text box, I'm not sure why I even came here. I really don't have anything to write about, other than the fact that I am overwhelmingly busy. But everyone who's actually seen me this semester already knows that (and the people...

more insomnia

Hello 3AM.I'm not quite sure why we're hanging out, but it seems we are. I really don't know what my deal is lately with not being able to go to sleep at night. It's obviously not working out very well for me since I constantly feel like I'm going to pass out in class. I should work on getting my sleep schedule rearranged.But right now I'm not really tired, and I'm being (semi) productive so I'm just...

History

Now that it's my last year of college, stuff is starting to sink in. Like the fact that I have to leave all of this in just a few months.I hate thinking about it.However, it's fun to reminisce all the great experiences I've had at Mizzou. This weekend will undoubtedly be one I remember FOREVER. Yes, forever.I attended one of the most EPIC games in...

guacamole.

avocados were $0.50 at walmart today. and you know I couldn't resist. they were already super ripe, so I figured I better use them immediately. I was too lazy to get cilantro this time, so this mix was definitely missing some flavor. it's still delicious, but not my best batch.I really cannot bring myself to do my airport homework. I hate how much I procrastinate in that class. facebook, last.fm,...

a little perspective

so i have decided that i really don't need more hours in the day. honestly, i just need there to be less things i need to do. well, duhhh. that's incredibly obvious. if only there was a way i could make that happen. i think i'm going to start trying a lot harder to not do everything myself. it's not my job to control absolutely everything, so i need to take a step back and let others do work too....

Productivity

so i did a pretty fabulous job of cleaning my room today, but i haven't gotten much else done. i would REALLY like to get ahead on some things. who knows if i am even capable of doing that. i think i might just be programmed to do stuff hours before it's due.on a completely different subject, one republic is so far proving to be an excellent tag for my last.fm radio station. maybe i'll light my new...

insomnia

i just whipped out a very long email for NAESC. that was probably very unnecessary for 2AM, but now I don't have to deal with it later this week. i'm kind of tired, but not really. it's getting more difficult to breathe out of my nose, so that may be why i don't really care to fall asleep right now. I have a letter that I can write, but I think I might leave that for tomorrow.i am going to forgot...

I've always been a fan of Razzmatazz

“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does...

FALLLLLLL

It's cold outside and I'm wearing a hoodie and I love it.On a less exciting note, this semester is successfully wearing me down. I'm tired of constantly feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel, but I can't see it yet. My schedule's constantly jammed-pack and I'm falling behind. Sigh... Thanksgiving Break is sounding better and better everyday.Now I should...

two days in a row?

new record? check. I'm going to work on being more consistent with updating to this.I've given up on my bedtime. 9 weeks is too long to have one anyway. I am not handling being phoneless very well. I wish I didn't rely on that stupid thing so much. it's a very good thing I'll be back to normal tomorrow...

sad day

I lost my phone. I think someone stole it from Hi Boy. And by stole, I mean I probably left it on the curb and they picked it up and kept it for themselves. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle the next 17+ hours without a cell phone. Ahhhhhh.On a less sad note, I have some countdowns:10 days until vacation12 days of work left this summer25 days until I'm back in CoMo"You'll sit alone forever, If...

another week over

it's weird how fast and slow time can move. this past week seemed to drag on and fly by at the same time. going back to work was strange. it really felt like I'd been gone for a week or two -not months. but seeing everyone excited about all of us coming back was a lot of fun. this summer looks like it'll have a lot of potential, so we'll see how it all pans out.so I managed to FINALLY convince myself...

summa time

I still cannot believe it's actually summer already. I know I still haven't quite grasped the fact that a lot of my friends have graduated and will be going their own ways :(and I'm going to be a senior. in college. When did that happen?Tomorrow marks my first day of my co-op. For the third time. haha. I'm still antsy about it though. The fact that this could possibly be a "3 month interview" for...

My 101 in 1001

So this is copied from the original blog I posted it on (2-21-2010). I'd like to keep it updated on here:I just recently came across an idea called 101 in 1001. It's a list of 101 goals you set for yourself that you have 1001 days to complete. Since I've been too busy to physically create something to put on this blog this week, I'm going to start this list. To keep myself accountable:0. Finish this...
