Lately I am really happy

the weather is really really nice...

and today:

I worked on our project and gave our presentation at hayworth. They LOVED IT! They didn't have any comments really, but one lady said sarcastically : "can you guys work here?" It was awesome to hear! Our project really did look great compared to our class mates. I am really excited how interior design has been going for me lately. (Last year My teacher kept one of my projects for an accreditation this year...and this semester, my other teacher is keeping another one of my projects. I always felt like my stuff sucked compared to other people's. Its kinda nice to be recognized on top of today's comments, I think I can do this stuff!)

Second I went back to school and worked on my functional art project. of course I talked to Cory (and i felt myself turning bright red, it was soooo embarrassing....oh well. at least he feels he can still talk to me...haha.) And then I flirted with Dustin (the original wood worker guy i fell in love with in the basement. muhahaha) But overall, I am getting a long ways on my light and I am going to be ecstatic when I can install it somewhere around schooL! My second project will be fiberglass shelves to hang on your wall, shaped like stingrays. I am working with the concept of migration and movement on this one. (The light is soundwaves, and movements)

This weekend was phenomenal too. I got to go to Chicago and collaborate antics with Jillian. I miss laughing that hard all the time and analyzing things to death. Sun. Night I hung out with Rob and Katelyn, mikey and Jason. Sounds crappy, but it was a lot of fun. Got some drinks. drove to holland with music cranked like old times and then more drinks then home. Late night. but worthwhile.

I wish you all great vibes coming your way. Later!

Goals

In the near and or distant future, this is where my mind has been going.

little things, big things, abstract ideas:

-Pay off my bank of america credit card and cancel it

-Keep helping Joni with her house and build report with her friends enough to add up as a second summer job

-Grow a relationship with Cory, slowly, and have it turn into something great, deep and long lasting

-loose weight in my arms, stomach, tone my behind

-find a second summer job

-get all my projects at school done and kick ass doing it, but most of all focusing.

-travel somewhere cool this summer, like nashville or vegas or something

-sell some of my artwork

-learn how to smock

-have time to breathe and relax every now and then

-clean and finish painting my room

-move out on my own for good, hopefully this fall, given the second summer job thing...

-get better grades 

-try vegetarianism or veganism

-be happier

whirlwind

let me pitch my weekend to you:

Friday:

I had class until 3 then work at 4:30 I stopped down in the basement to flirt with cory (I mean work on my project) Sean called and was downtown so I gave him a mini tour of kcad. Fun.

After work I stopped over at lindsay's bf's appt. to hang out. pretty clean ole' fun and semi awkward. haha 

Sat. worked till 6. 

Katelyn and her old roomate from this summer called and said they were going out for drinks and invited me. this sounds more like it. So We get in Amy's car and start driving to gr. this girl is so typical i can't even explain it. totally rich preppy and typically boring. (whoops)

But She is drinking out of a nalgine bottle filled with what she tells us is like 5 inches of vodka mixed with cranberry juice. Never been in this experience before, most of my friends don't flirt with death that much. I was kind of scared cuz she was sucking it down all the way down to gr. I would never trust myself to do that and drive. Bad choices, I don't want her to drive again. Anyways...so we are almost there (Rockwell's (again) b.c Rob works there now) and amy hits the breaks after I am particpating in the nalgine. I get vodka cranberry up my nose and my shirt is white and now ruined.

I was ticked off at this point even tho it's probably half my fault.

So we head to the bathroom and I clean up. Thank goodness for black cardigans.

 We ended up standing on Republic's side by the bar and I didn't get a drink yet bc i am still a little erked and just want to go home. Mean while I am wearing that tan fedora all night. Apparently it gets you some great action. Some guy comes up to me and starts asking me about my hat and who I am so I feed him lines until he meets my friends and offers to buy me a drink. He's my height and not to bad looking, but def. not my type. He ended up sitting down at a table with us and talked with us for a while. He's from Chicago and does IT stuff. He gave me his business card "so the ball was in my court" he said he was 27. He moved back to his group of friends and before we were out the door i saw him flirting it up with another girl at the bar. muhahha. what a sucker. I wonder how much he spends on girl's drinks?

Then we move to Crush where we get some drinks and start dancing. That place is bump and grind central. Totally lame. So I just came to dance and I am moving around like i am drunk at we're at 80's night just to keep the creepers at bay. Many guys liked my hat and tried to grab it from me. (get yourself one... you'll be amazed) I was saucy so I got so sick of guys trying to hump me that I got to pushing guys off me and challenging them to dance offs. Quite a feisty time! I wish you guys could have been there. I was scaring them. I would do that more often if I could.

Then we went home.

Sun. meant work all day and baby/wedding shower at work for some co-workers. ugh. No time for myself which means 

This morning I am skipping class (b.c i have to work tonight again...) blogging and eating a grilled cheese sandwich for b-fast. ahhhh Mondays.....   ;)
