Bad Ass! September 23, 2010

I was super bad ass today! I am so proud.

I got up early and went to talk with my college counselor. She was impressed with how much I had organized already. We figured out classes, so that I might even be able to go to grad school this fall! Otherwise it will be two years from right now before I get to grad school. I don’t want to rush things, but I’d much rather go in one year then two.

After that I was super motivated and went to the mall to find a new clubbing/salsa dancing shirt/outfit. Instead I got four camis. Normally 1 cami is $18. I got them at the 2 for $16 deal. Awesome! I also got sweater because I’ve needed something lighter then a jacket for fall. I went out of my black/white comfort zone and got red! I also got the most bad ass shoes. (Yes, bad ass is the word of the day) http://www.journeys.com/shi/product.aspx?id=171010&p=shoes&c=966&l=black&m=SM

I also got talked into a straightener by a very good businessman. I’m not going to tell you how much I paid for it, usually I’m smarter about large purchases. Like the shoes, I walked away, thought about it, and came back. But this I just bought…not like me. It’s a little hard to swallow how much I spent on it, but I have a lifetime guarantee, and if I really use it I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth. What really caught my attention was that he curled my hair with it, beautiful curls that actually stayed put. No, since I’ve been home I have not been able to replicate this. At the mall though I pictured myself actually doing my hair for going out and parties and whatnot.

I’ve been feeling like I look almost ‘unkept/sloppy’ with my hair lately. No matter what I do with it, it looks bad, like I don’t brush it our anything. So as long as I actually use it, this could be a very good purchase for me.

After the mall I took a nap, which was wonderful. Then I cleaned the bathroom. I cleaned everything; the sinks, the counter, the mirror, and the shower. I’m so proud, it hasn’t looked this clean since it was built.

After cleaning I realized I was sweaty, so I went to the gym and did kickboxing for an hour. NICE!

Then I came home. I was going to go salsa dancing for the first time in months, but I didn’t really want to go by myself and I was content to just relax at home.

See how awesome I was today! I really hope I can keep this up, because I have lots to accomplish.

But for now, it’s off to bed. Good night!

Good Weekend June 28, 2009

I thought my weekend was going to be exhausting. Friday, I had to clean the house, but instead decided to go to dinner with some friends, since one was in from out of town, who hung out until I kicked them out of my house so I can sleep. It was wonderful to see them, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t a good day. Then Sat was also very very stressful. I was slightly annoyed that I did not have time to finish my chores and destress before Hina and Ash got to my house. I had underestimated my friends though, they did their own thing while I took care of what I needed to and let me rest for a bit before starting our night.

We went to a restaruant, hit on a cute waiter, and had an intellegant conversation. I was so happy to actually think about what I’m saying. It’s so nice to have smart friends and be able to debate something. After dinner we all dressed up and went Salsa dancing. I had a blast! I’m pretty sure my friends did too. I’m getting better at dancing. Half the time we just watched everyone else, I can’t believe how some people can move their bodies.

The next morning (today) we slept in and then went to a little family run place for breakfast. Afterwhich we went to the art museum. I LOVE ART! It’s so amazing to look at art that I didn’t like before with a better (more artistic knowledge) eye. I not have a new respect for Pablo Picasso. We also saw Monte, some interesting Asian Art, some Impressionism (one of my favorite art types) and some Modern Art…..which we mostly skipped because we didn’t much care for it. I just don’t understand what makes some things art. Example A: a giant plastic model of a toothpaste tube. WTF? What makes that art? Why are people impressed with this? Cause no one’s ever done it before? So what, there’s a reason! I really wish someone who understood art better then me would explain some of these pieces I see in museums. I think I have an open mind…but this one I just don’t get.

Well, I have a date tomorrow, and a very long day, so I’m off to bed. Night!
