I have never known such exhaustion as I’m feeling right now, and I still have a novel to speed-read and critique. I hate college.

while every other girl in the country is coming home to flowers and teddy bears, I came home to MY COLUMBIA COLLEGE CHICAGO ACCEPTANCE LETTER.

okay, Mac users… help!
last night, my iCal app suddenly started “updating” with no prompting from me or anything else. it’s been “updating” since then, and it won’t let me quit or delete the app, and it won’t even let me shut down my computer because the “update is still in progress.” wtf is this and what do I do?

grandma: so when are you finally going to have a boyfriend to introduce me to?
me: I have no idea!

me: what about Sunday nights?
grandma: you're a little young to be THAT promiscuous, don't you think?

I AM ALIVE! I’ve just been majorly majorly busy and stressed lately.
I definitely learned the hard way this semester that when I bite off more than I can chew in an effort to kick ass, I end up choking, not excelling. but it happened for a reason and I will certainly pick back up next semester, kick ass and raise my GPA.
stories of the past few weeks will come soon! for meow, I need to...

proof that my family is nuts: driving back from the airport, my sister suddenly goes “I’m hungry!” …and whips a burrito out of her purse.
tonight at work, this little kid came in who had to have the most energy I’ve ever encountered in a child. he was literally bouncing around while he spoke to me and I was running around the store with him and having a ball. after I checked him out, I went to give him a high-five and instead he wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a hug, and then gestured for me to bend down and gave...
I cannot wait for next week. 7 whole days without worrying about tests, homework or papers? what?

finally got my e.l.f. order today, and I’m so in love/impressed with everything that I’m currently stocking my cart with other colors or products I’d passed on last time, and I’m gonna wait for their Black Friday sale to get it all. if you were skeptical about $1-3 makeup, don’t be. it’s amazeballs.

today on the bus, I was making small talk with the girl next to me. I mentioned Harry Potter, and she said, “oh, you like Harry Potter? I don’t like fantasy books. I’m more into realistic fiction. my favorite is Twilight!”

my throat is super super sore and I can’t stop coughing + I ended up falling asleep and got no studying done for my test at 12:30. I can study through my three classes today, but I am so scared for this test it’s unreal. I need an A so so so so so badly. ugghhh why is this semester not over? :(
if I successfully pull off everything I need to in the next two weeks (booking these 2 shows, getting A’s on both of my tests + both of my papers, and not pulling my hair out at work), I will be demanding a Badassery Award. thank you very much. except I’m actually about to explode from the stress.

I can kiss sleep goodbye for the next two weeks. I have a huge test tomorrow that I’m pulling an all-nighter for, a huge test Thursday that I’ll be pulling an all-nighter for + my license test to study/practice for, then work all weekend and two 10-page papers due on Monday. and then next week, there’ll be two days where I work from 10 am to 9 pm, not to mention all the...
life is meant to be stressful, but I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to be this sad all the time.

you have a way of being able to break me down and make me feel worthless in 2.5 seconds or less.
I’m so fucking sick of crying over you. I don’t understand why I let you get to me this way.

this weekend looks like it’s gonna be perfect.
I just got back from a surprise party for one of my best friends (happy birthday, Dylan!). tomorrow, my mom and I are going to the green market and then I’m meeting up with a friend I haven’t seen in months, followed by three hours at the best job in the world and then making my teddy bears!
and all day Sunday will be spent...
