What I'm Up To

Right now I'm currently writing a paper for the play A Raisin in the Sun and I'm continuously getting writer's block. While I'm watching 500 Days of Summer! I finally saw that movie and I'm in complete adoration of it. Have I said that I really want Summer's wardrobe. I'm thinking that I have but I don't mind saying it again!

Even though I finally did a post yesterday I spaced out and forgot what to write about what I'm thankful for. So when I was gathered around the huge feast I had with my family I came up with the greatest conclusions. I'm surrounded by loving family members, (like my wonderful parents) what could be any better? Blessed with all of the things I have now and all of the opportunities I can gain. Friends who can put up with my madness. Imperfect eyesight so I can wear cute glasses and stand out from all of the contacts people at school (not that there isn't anything wrong with contacts because I occasionally wear them). My own computer. My loving dog/baby Tyler who puts up with my insanity and is always there. Music that synchronizes with my feelings. Along with clothes that help express myself. These are all of the things I'm thankful for along with you special followers that tolerate my tardiness from the blog world. I'll try not to disappoint in the future I promise.

I just love the holidays; a chance to relax and be with family along with celebrating. Its probably one of the most relaxing and important times of the year. Too bad I'll always have work during those breaks well I'm off to finish this paper and start another one.
So Love & Thanks,

I'll be back!

Alright, I've been gone for a total of 2 months without saying something and I haven't posted any photos of me for a total of 3 months. Let me say, "I feel like a failure blogger." I've wanted to post but I haven't had time or haven't had anything decent to share, which isn't an excuse because a lot has happened to me in the past 3 months that I haven't shared with the few amount of people who read this blog so thank you for following me.

1. I have purchased a number of variously great things from Urban Outfitters (my favorite store), Forever21, and H&M. I've had a huge clothing haul from all of those stores from wedges and heels (which I've NEVER WORN prior to this) to cardigans and graphic shirts. I will admit that I've worn some of them but most I haven't because the numerous occasions in which I get up at 5:30 in the morning and have to catch a bus at 6 o'clock doesn't really allow me time to think of great outfits and put them together. But I have been receiving tons of inspiration and will be posting pictures of them (I've gotten a new photographer, my tripod).

2. On October 2nd of this year I went to my first homecoming dance and it was a success. I loved every minute of it and wish that I could relive it! Everyone loved my dress and I'm definetly posting pictures I just haven't been able to locate my camera's adaptor (my room is worse than messy). But the pictures are gorgeous and I can't wait to show them to you!

3. School has been crazy. For the first month in English we had to write 5 analysis papers on these short stories (the teacher loved my writing but took five points off for my messed up works cited page). Then we had to read this book Of Mice and Men, which I didn't really like, and watch this movie La Strada that I thought was pretty interesting all in the same month. Now I have to write a 4 to 7 page paper on archetypal comparisons between this book and movie that is due on December 2nd. While also reading the book The Tempest by Shakespeare and writing annotations on it. Pretty much my work life has been crazy and I'm not really appreciating it right now.

4. I got casted in my school's Drama Production A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry in which I had to play the very zany character Mrs. Johnson. Let me say the character was a nut and everyone applauded me for being such a great nut/nosy neighbor. I was the comic relief in this play, which I think is pretty comical itself because I don't really think of myself as "funny." My grandparents even drove down to see it which I thought was so great of them. Plus I also helped with costumes in which I had to hand sew an African robe; I put the robe together in 1 day and everyone said I did such a good job putting it together on such short notice (the robe did look really good). Now I kinda want to start sewing clothes for myself now.

5. I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and I'm in love with this final installment! I had a lot of dark colors which made it so much different for the previous ones in a GOOD WAY (specifically the 3rd and 6th ones, I didn't really like those). My brother thought it was boring, but I loved every minute of it! I'm starting to get into the films that concentrate on the actual emotions of the characters and all of the scenic, costume, and lighting designs that effect the movie (I'm really getting into my technical theatre class at school which talks about all of these things).

I may even post up a vlog post because I'm discovering those may be faster to make for the near future. You'll probably see my messy room but like I said I've been SO busy lately and hopefully I'll be even more busy coming up. However, break is here and I do promise that I'll post some more posts because for once I don't have that much homework (well besides my papers to write). So I will be back!
Love & rockets,
