Damn! I can’t believe it’s already been more than two weeks since my last post! I hate how I always do this! I should just schedule out some specific time every day to make my blogging more regular…
I’ve mostly been super busy with school work and getting everything done for this semester. I had two final art projects that took me a while- sadly, I wasn’t really completely happy with how either of them turned out 
… I focused on the word ‘Compression’ and went with the idea of women being compressed by corsets and how we are supposed to fit into this very narrow definition of ‘female’. Originally this was just going to be for my Illustration project, but then my Papermaking professor told me I should work with the same concept. So I ended up attempting to make a corset out of paper… Which is a lot harder than it sounds! I spent a lot of time on the damn thing, and it just didn’t come out the way I had thought it would… And for Illustration I didn’t really do what the professor was looking for (although he said most of us didn’t)… I guess I was just disappointed in myself that neither of my final projects were as good as my earlier ones. Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of it, but once I go back next semester and get a chance I will take one.
But, on the positive side, I have gotten all A’s in all of my classes (still waiting for the Papermaking grade, but I’m pretty sure based on the fact that I had As on all my projects, I’ll do the same there).
So yeah, last Monday was the last day of the semester, I had one final on Tuesday and worked on Wednesday, and came home Thursday night, and Sunday night had my first day back working at Target! Talk about crazy- I was there till 11:30 pm last night. Whole damn store is open till midnight until Thursday- it’s ridiculous! Seriously people go buy your shit at a normal time! But at least I only have to work two more days before Christmas, then normal hours will be back and hopefully some of the crazyness will die down….
Other news: I’ve been seeing my ex a few times… I guess after I went on my last date afterward i just thought how much I missed my ex. I broke up with him for a few reasons- one biggie being the whole school business, but now that is not as much of an issue since I’m not a crazy nursing major anymore. I know there were some small things he did that would annoy me, but I never spoke up about anything, and I think I’ve done a good job of changing that. I guess I just feel like the off time was necessary, but now I wouldn’t mind giving it another shot- I feel like we’ve both changed and I just feel better about everything.
Then the other half of me feels like I’m being a bad person for wanting to try again or that some of my friends tells me it won’t work (although others are very supportive so that’s kind of a toss up- my negative side just clings to the naysayers)… I don’t know. Right now I just feel happy spending time with him, trying not to rush anything, not being afraid to state my opinion or talk about things. (Maybe I’m just happy with the fact that he got me a unicorn pillow pet for Christmas and that he said he would read this feminism book that I bought… and he took me to see Harry Potter again. lol. All good marks!) But we’ll see where it goes.
hmmm… Not much else too exciting going on. Got most of my Holiday gift shopping down, saving my school friend shopping until after Christmas when I’ll have, um, more money to actually spend lol. Funds are getting lowwww. But I actually got all of my immediate family something, and got Emily and Nikki’s gifts (though Emily’s probably won’t be here in time :/).. Also just bought all of my textbooks for next semester and spent UNDER $100! It’s a fucking miracle! Last semester for all the nursing books put me over $1,000, and most previous semesters averaged around $300 I would say. I’ll still have to buy some art supplies, but not too much. So I’m really happy about that!
So that’s life for now.
Oh! Also dyed my hair darker!
… Not really the greatest picture, but it’s the best I’ve got as of right now!
Since, knowing me, I won’t post anything until after the 26th probably, I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday (or at least a good winter!). Ciao for now!
