Tonight she's out to lose herself.

So I haven't written in this thing for a long, long time. I've always liked blogging- it's just much easier to get in a habit of not writing in it than of writing in it. :P But it's spring break now, so I think it's as good a time as any to try and get this blog going again. Plus Courtney wrote in her's recently, so of course I thought I should do the same. ;)

As of today I am officially on spring break (save one online quiz)! Winter quarter is always the roughest of them all, so surviving it is most def a cause for celebration. :) It's nice to be home for the first time in three months, and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family, but I'm already kind of in the "okay . . so now what?" state of mind. Hmm . . seems just a few days ago I was complaining about how much work I had and how allll I wanted to do was do nothing. Typical. :P

I'm gonna do my best to make the most of this mini vacation, but I'm crazy stoked about spring quarter starting here in a couple weeks. With it comes soccer games, greek week, SUN, and the great co-op search (!!!!!). I have no doubt that it's gonna go by just as fast as the rest of the year has, so it's time to live it up before I'm out in the real world. :)

Baby, baby, babyy oooohh

I hate how I love every single song Justin Bieber makes. ;) ;)

Welll, this past week . . . was busy, and fun, and sad, and I felt like the human snot-machine for most of it. Yeah, gross. :P But I think I would call it an overall success so far! On wednesday morning we had a big critique for my textiles class; we had to stand in a stage in front of a panel of teachers and showcase our two quarter projects for the course. The first was to make a garment out of a material not usually used to make clothing and the second was to create an outfit dyed with something that would usually be considered a stain. For my projects, I made a dress out of umbrellas and a skirt and top get-up dyed with food coloring using a marbling/paint splatter kind of effect. I was actually really nervous about the crit, because I didn't know what to expect from the teachers or how my limited construction experience would match up against some other students'. But it actually went really well :) And best of all, I had a lot of fun. The teacher's were all very positive and Jacqueline (my crazy british textiles professor, haha) asked to keep one of my garments for show.

It sounds cheesy, but I kinda had a moment looking at everyone's projects where I was like ' this is so AWESOME. I'm in school for FASHION. Sick.' Like I thought I was one project runway or something hahaha. But I was seriously blown away by some peoples' creativity. Jacqueline took pictures of all of us during the crit, and I want to post some of my favorites on here as soon as she uploads them. :)

This post is getting way longer than I thought it would. I guess I don't have much else to say right now other than that I am feeling really, really lucky these days. :) I've decided to leave the appearances of miss mopey pants back in winter quarter. haha.

Alright, I've got a date with 'Project Runway' and thin mints here in a few. Thinking I might do this again tomorrow. ;)

<3 Bee.

-Edit-

Forgot to mention that Janel and I rented "The Time Traveller's Wife" and "The Princess and The Frog" last night. Both really good movies. Prince Naveen is definitely up there on the hottest Disney princes list.;) If you're a girl, puh-lease don't even pretend you haven't had that conversation.
