Busy Bee

In the last couple of weeks I have become so incredibly busy, at least compared to how "busy" I have been. I've joined a couple of organizations of campus and classes have really picked up. This week alone I have two tests, a 5 page research paper, and 5 psychology journals to take care of before I can even think about even getting any kind of good sleep. Plus I have meetings for the campus magazine I'm doing PR for, Ball Bearings, as well as the pre-professional PR organization I joined, PRSSA. So, needless to say I'm a busy bee lately, which is actually a very welcome change. The hardest part for me is staying focused, which I'm absolutely horrible at, but I'm working on it. I know there are many other people on campus way way way busier than I am, and I'm not really a stranger to cramming 50 things into a day (hello the last 2 years of working 35+ hours a week, 15+ hours of classes, campus organizations, etc...) so I'm really liking the pick up.

I'm nearing 21 and I'm getting really excited about it. Mostly because I think everyone else really hypes up turning 21. You know it's supposed to be this big, crazy, exciting, grown up, birthday and all. In preperation I purchased a pair of birthday shoes over the weekend.

Cue these super fun multi-color, glitter, Steve Madden flats that I'm IN LOVE with! I get way too into my birthday, and once there is a month or less leading up to it I'm in full anticipation mode. I'm really still a lot like my 5 year old self.

As for my apartment, it goes in and out of stages of cleanliness. Last weekend before I had a slew of visitors come down to see me it was spotless. Scrubbed, swept, dusted...the who shibang. A week later there are dirty dishes in the sink and clothes slewn all over my bedroom. Luckily my mom may be paying me a visit Saturday or Sunday so I'll have an excuse to get it cleaned up, and post some pictures of my lovely, humble, abode.

Someday I'll cut back on the lengthy personal updates and be more fun.



Score!

I just bought these cute little tennis shoes from Forever 21 for a sweet $7.80! I can't wait until they arrive!

It's Tuesday. It's rainy. I'm working. I need a nap.

I'm so sleepy right now. I feel like I could just lay my head down on my desk and be sound asleep in seconds. Rainy days always make me tired, and it isn't helping that work is dragging. It's a little upsetting because I really love rain and watching/listening to it fall, but not when I'm stuck at work trying everything to stay awake. I enjoy it much more when I'm home cuddled up in bed sipping tea and watching movies.

I really wish I had a cute little rain coat like this.

or a pair of puddle jumping rain boots.

But, I don't. So I will just have to deal with being tired, cold, and wet.

Urban Outfitters online store is mocking me

I want to, NEED to, buy clothes from Urban. I just got my early fall look book in the mail the other day and I can hardly keep myself from grabbing my credit card out of my purse and purchasing awesome clothes. Really, I need to excercise some self control here. I move out into my apartment in 27 days, I should be buying things to make my apartment cute as can be not to mention saving my money for rent and groceries. Yet I continuously log on to Urban's web site looking through pages of dresses and shoes and booties and tights and jackets and tops and jeans, pining over all of the wonderful options. I'm so pathetic that i have 5 items just sitting in my "shopping cart" should I decide to do something drastic and give in to temptation. I have spending issues. I just need to breathe in, breathe out, and sustain my excitement. Saving = good, spending ridiculous amounts of money on clothes = very bad.
