here we go!
Milan and I are taking a three day getaway to San Francisco!! :3
Right now I’m taking a break from packing. We decided to only use carry on handbags instead of checking luggage in…since we are only there for 3 days. This is my worst nightmare!! How do I fit everything in there? I hate planning outfits too!! haha girl problems.
My cute and chic handbag luggage broke on the zipper so...

Staying home and doing nothing is seriously great! This never happens to me and I love love it. I’m finally caught up with my guilty pleasure: Vampire Diaries and started watching New Girl. Seriously the best show ever. I have never laughed this hard watching a show! I’ve also been hitting the gym for 1.5 hours every day and I love feeling the burn on my body. Sweat dripping down like...

kind of having a mini panic attack about my test. i’m actually very worried about it, more than i’d actually like to admit… i honestly don’t think my chances of getting into tuebingen or goettingen are very high because i never took chem or physics in college and studying the books i bought are not really helping because i dont know what i’m doing. i definitely know...

misty-eyed asked: So what is it like to live in SoCal? What are people like? Ignorant? Friendly? Naive? Stuck up? Stubborn? I have been thinking about moving over there in the future but I feel like Cali people are very caught up on looks (since most of them are gorgeous).

thoughts
I’ve been going out too much lately and spending too much money on food & drinks haha. I’m addicted though — I love my friends and having fun!! I gotta cut back, especially on the late night calories. Also gotta start saving my money more because of all the bills I have. Went over my phone bill twice, car insurance, doctor’s appointments, etc. you name it, I pay it. not...

grants
My boss said that she would get our Grants Writer to start training me to help write grants for the company. I’m excited because this would double how much I earn per hour AND I have the option of working from home sometimes. I am excited! This is such a good skill to know and hopefully my writing will also improve.

still there.
I talked to one of my best friends today and he said to do what makes me happy. if it means forgetting everything and moving on, then that’s what I should do. I feel like a horrible person and I hope the guilt can go away soon. gahh! it’s when I’m alone that these lurking thoughts come. I just want to go to my room, blast some music, clean everything, put away all my clothes and...
moving on.
After all the crazy things that happened these past couple of weeks, I’m ready to just let it go. I don’t think about it anymore (as much) and sometimes I find myself forgetting about it. I’ve been feeling a little numb, emotional, very confused and distant from myself and my loved ones, but it’s all in the past now and I can’t wait to see him in a couple weeks....

clothing rant.
I forgot to mention in one of my resolutions for the new year. I want to expand my wardrobe. I feel like I kind of wear the same thing everyday — just different shirt/shoes combination. While shopping with my sister, she commented that I always pick out the same type of thing. This made me realize that I really do gravitate towards my “norm” and even looking back at all my outfit...
