Blue Sky’s Shinning on Me!

I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been busy with spring break and being sick. Now I’m playing catch up with school work that I should have been getting caught up on over break. It’s really starting to feel like spring which is exciting. I think I actually become more motivated once spring arrives which is good. Most people say they loose their motivation around this time of year because they feel like summer is almost here. For me it’s like hibernation is over and I can finally come out of my cave. In a few weeks when it really starts to get warm and all these crazy college kids are out on their front porches playing beerpong, that’s when I start to say, the hell with class. But I think I have at least a good solid week of work first.

Final Thoughts:
…nothin’ but blue sky’s do I seeeee

Things I Would Never Give Up

In no specific order*

My own life, unless maybe to save a loved one
A member of my immediate family to the police
Bagels or any carbs for that matter
My dignity
My position on the beer pong list
My basic human rights
The punch line
A night with friends for a night of sleep
Poloroid film (if it were up to me)

Final Thoughts:
Do you think it’s better to have more or less on your list? Posses nothing, even your own sense of worth or be passionate and tied to many things in your life.

All About the Benjamins

Some bloggers are partaking in the Green Week where you post pictures and talk about things that are green…? Well anyways I haven’t been doing that obviously but today I would like to partake in festivities to say that I found a one hundred dollar bill on the ground.

That’s kinda crazy.

Final Thoughts:
I found $100

BONER!

Dave got a Dog from Lollipop Farms. He’s a six (?) year old Husky that Dave named Blizzard and that everyone else has named Boner. He seems to be very friendly and well behaved and I am very excited to play with him and pet him whenever I am there.

In my photo class tonight I experimented with some poloroid transfers and I am very excited to continue experimenting with that this weekend. Do you think it would be weird if I started carrying this camera around to party’s and doing poloroid transfers on the spot?

ID- check, camera- check, Brayer- check, watercolor paper and soaking tray- check

Final Thoughts:
I can’t wait for Spring

In like a lamb…

According to my car it was 67 degrees on my way to class today! It’s like I’m back in Florida! Of course I missed the entire morning sleeping and eating and showering. Perhaps I would have gotten out of bed earlier if I had actually believed that it was 60 degrees out but excuse me for thinking that was a little too good to be true in Rochester in early March. Although it really is too good to be true because tomorrow we are supposed to get a huge snow storm and the temperature will be back down to 20 or 30.

Balls.

On another note apparently March is the month for lists and seeing as though I have had a thousand things I should be doing I thought I would create something of a To Do List for myself.

Final Thoughts:

An ‘Ah Ha’ Moment?

Since I have been back from Florida I have been totally unproductive. And when I say unproductive I of course mean in anything school related. I have done some knitting and I started reading a new book called “A New Earth”. It was mentioned on Oprah so of course everyone and there mother is reading it.

I am only on chapter three and so far I can’t say I have learned a lot. But it does make you more aware of yourself. I think a lot of those self-help books that talk about being aware of your conscious and unconscious self and keeping your ego in check are things I already know but when you are in the actual situation where your ego gets the best of you you aren’t thinking about the book your thinking, “that bastard just cut me off!” So I think reading it works as repetition and practice to keep those ideas fresh in your mind so you have those ‘moments of weakness’ less and less. One of the things that I know I need to work on is me and my relation ship with the “world of things” as the book says it. With clothes particularly, I think they say something about who I am. This shirt is “me”. I have to have that dress. When I was in Florida looking in all the really expensive shops I kept thinking the women in the shops were judging me and thinking “Shes too poor to be shopping here” and the truth is I was. I don’t want to spend $125 on a tank top even if I was a millionaire but I still felt like I had to buy something to prove to them that they were wrong about me and that I was ‘worth’ a $450 shirt.

So speaking of clothes! Haha. I am almost done with my sweater. I just have the sleeves to do now. This sweater is modeled after a Free People sweater I liked online. I didn’t have a pattern of course so it has been something of a learning experience to make it and I have no clue how I am going to make the sleeves given that I have never even made sleeves when I did have a pattern. Also I am about to run out of my yarn and when I went to Micheal’s to get more they were out of the color I need. So it may be a little while before I can finish it. But here is what it looks like so far.

Final Thoughts:
I need cable. I’ve been watching golf all day because it’s the only channel I get.
