always hit em with a new style


Photobucket
so i like my blog but i want to love it. i think the problem is that it's too self-centered. it's boring. i don't like talking about myself so much...it gets really dull. i'm not that interesting that i can update this blog everyday (or even every week) with some new and exciting stuff about my life. and even if i were, who's really that interested in my life? i know i have a lot to say, but i think i've been saying it in the wrong way. now don't get me wrong...this blog is still MY blog. so of course it's going to be more me than anything else. but i think i just need to mix things up a little bit. music, fashion, literature, pop culture...i love that ish. so it's time to start incorporating it into my blog somehow someway. be on the lookout yall. TBSJ is about to get a makeover!

happiness is a warm gun

i feel SO good right now. it's probably because i'm done with midterms. i only had one and it was chem...and it actually went well! so now i'm just celebrating by relaxing...though there are more productive things i could be doing. but ah what the hey! midterm break is wednesday, i've been working hard and am going to shamelessly indulge myself in laziness as reward. i can't wait for home. i miss my family and chicago, break is going to be nice. but in other news, i deactivated my facebook last week. it's not because i get on it too much and it's a huge distraction or anything...i just think it's kind of silly for the time being. i can log back in and reactivate it at any point, but for right now i think it's better that i just not deal with it--maybe i'm growing out of it. speaking of growing, i've had a couple people bring to my attention that i'll be turning 20 soon. when you're young, you count down the days (shoot even the months) until your birthday. but now it's just not a big deal anymore. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'm excited. i love that i'm getting a year older, it's pretty cool. my mum asked me what i wanted and i said nothing..but now that i think of it, i kind of want a new phone (blackberry!). it's not a must have, but my phone has just been acting so crappy lately..horrible service blah blah blah. blackberrys are so legit and smooth and sophisticated. i feel like that's the next step. so hopefully over break i can make that happen. woo! i'm excited..for life. haha. have you guys seen willow smith's video for whip my hair? it's amazing and so is she. i love that song! what a talented little beast. i whip my hair back and forth i whip my hair back and forth

friday night/saturday morning

Photobucket
chill night. i shouldn't be up, i've got to get up early in the morning (rugby fundraiser!) and then library for majority of the evening. which is why i'm trying to enjoy my last bits of relaxation/me time. i've got tons of new magazines to catch up on! and i watched a little hannah montana on netflix whilst eating chinese food..nom nom. i'd call that a solid night. i got a little headache earlier and took a nap to make it go away...ended up sleeping for two hours. thus, i'm pretty awake right now. any who, tomorrow is going to be fun and productive. i should get some sleep, but i'd rather play a little mall world on facebook first. night night

hey guys!

so i had to document myself today because (for once) i didn't look like a bum. my first class of the day got canceled so i didn't have class until 2. which meant plenty of time to get ready. so i actually did my hair and all that jazz...and this was the final product. it doesn't happen too often...so when it does, it may call for a little photoboothing. which is of course what took place today. i honestly feel like i have nothing else to say though. today was charming. the rest of my night shall consist of a little bit of chem lab, physics, and some nylon if i'm not too sleepy by then. adieu!

academics, dances, and some rugby

Photobucket
so i'm getting back into the flow of school and that's nice. my schedule is pretty good this year and my classes are going well thus far (chem, microbio, physics, masterpieces of early spanish lit, and anthropology). i've decided to take the mcat next summer, so classes for that will be coming up soon. as far as extracurricular, i'm in black student council, hype (our hip hop dance team), and women's rugby (YEAH!). and not to mention the evans scholar stuff i gotta do...needless to say, i'm a busy girl! but i really couldn't have it any other way. like i said before, i'm just really excited for this year. but on another kind of note, last night was our scholarship dance (fall alumni). it was too much fun. lots of dancing, good food and company, AND chocolate covered strawberries...mmmm. i had a really good time. for those interested, i wore: a black and gold american apparel dress, black forever 21 heels, and my personal favorite accessory of the night? RED LIPSTICK! specifically, ruby woo by mac. sigh. it was great. this afternoon was quite the different story as far as apparel goes. i traded my heels for cleats, my dress for a rugby jersey and shorts, and my lipstick for a mouthguard. haha. today was our first rugby game of the season...and we kind of dominated. 105-0 was the final score. i really don't enjoy playing any other sport as much as i do rugby. it's so much fun. i love the contact, the running, the team, the songs...haha. it's all just good fun and this season is looking really promising for us. well, this is kind of a longer post (sorry about that). it's been a while so i had a little more to say/talk about. i'll TRY to post more often...but that is in no way guaranteed. welp, guess that's all for now.

oh! and the sunglasses in the picture was my party favor from the dance. cool, huh?

just some snippets of the room! i love it so much. three of us in here, we've got a lot of space to work with. i've finally had some free time on my hands, so i just finished unpacking all my randoms and snapped a couple of pictures. the whole room's not shown because i didn't feel like taking pictures of beds, closets, and desks that aren't mine. haha. from top to bottom: a little poster section of mine (from the angle of the picture, the audrey poster looks crooked...this is not the case in real life), my bed, my closet and our tv area, our sitting area (and one of my roomie's beds). i finally feel settled in. i can't wait for school to start. i've only got one more day left of staffing orientation. it's been fun, as usual, but taxing nonetheless. sn: i think i'm going to the beach tomorrow. YAY

back to school

i'm all packed up for school (with the exception of my computer). this is exciting! i feel like junior year is going to be my year...i haven't really had one of those yet. we should be hitting the road anytime now. i figured while i'm waiting, i'll just do a post. i might not have another one for a little while seeing as that i'll have to unpack and all that fun stuff once i get to school. not to mention i'm on the orientation staff--so i'll be helping freshmen for a week before actual classes start. i'm anxious and excited and ready and happy! wisconsin, here i come

how neat is this bag? i am such a sucker for green shopping bags. i buy them from almost every store i shop at. and they're great for traveling too!

my little chanel bag

it's kind of like having a little black dress. this bag is actually older than me...a true testament to the fact that chanel is timeless.

for the love of technology

Photobucket
my itouch is dying. i've had it since '07 and it's finally starting to fail. i knew this was coming but i'm still in denial. first the headphone jack was acting up...now it completely doesn't work. so technically i don't even have an ipod. i was using it for games and such with all those marvelous apps...but now when i try to sync it to my computer, it won't even finish! it says there's an error. so my ipod isn't charged, isn't synced, nor playing music. and i am NOT buying another one of these itouches! i think i'll just get a classic video or something because these touch thingies are too sensitive for my liking (which is why you'll never see me with an iphone...or any touch screen phone for that matter). just a load of rubbish! but really, this is quite sad..

back!

so i was in st. louis for a couple of days on business. just kidding. it was for a family reunion. but i enjoyed myself! glad to be back home though where the weather isn't 100+ degrees. hopefully i'll have some interesting/fun pics up soon (not of st. louis though :( silly me didn't bring my camera). but all is well..i'm still going through my computer's photo album and have some more random pictures to put up...and a new purchases post might be coming soon
