"i feel like such a waster of time!"

wow, i'm quite a slacker on this blog...
all of my free time is devoted to one of the following
1. sewing
i am trying to finish the last two dresses (of three) that i making for a recycled fashion show. the rules are that each thing much be made 70% out of recycled/recyclable material, and the other 30% can be fabric, closures,thread, etc. i of course decided to do way too much, and am late on the deadline. they are not too strict on that luckily! the show is on the 28th so i need to have them done by then. in addition to those recycled things, i have sewing to do for one of my classes. we're in the process of making a jacket. i chose to do a little gray blazer and i am looking forward to wearing it when i'm finished!

2. school/homework/projects/tests
luckily this semester is not too stressful! i have a pretty easy workload. every once in a while i have to spend extra hour working on computer designs for two classes, and i write papers about once a week for my comp. class, and of course i study for tests when they come around. all in all, homework doesn't take up nearly as much time as i would think! the only down fall of this is that when it is necessary to do homework, it is especially hard to get myself focused!

3. friendies
i absolutely love bonding with people, especially kind, genuine, fun, exciting, and in some case attractive people. i don't know if i've mentioned my friend amy, but she's just the best, and in her dorm i have met so many great people. every weekend i spend lots of time over there and i usually get closer to a different person every time. this weekend it was a boy from hawaii, who is good looking and fun and great, so basically that was enjoyable.

4.work
i got a job! i have only worked a few hours, but it is still sort of weird getting used to having a job in school. i work for the rocky mountain collegian, which is the school newspaper. i work for advertising as a designer. the designers are responsible for formatting, making changes to, and at times designing ads that go in the paper. i really enjoy it so far but i get overwhelmed with all the information that i need to learn, since i'm not super comfortable with different types of files and what works with which programs and what not. i will get it though, hopefully!

5. doing absolutely nothing
...by myself. i am really always doing something when im with people, even if it's only talking or playing video games. when im alone i feel like such a waster of time! like today i went to a barbeque with amy, but then i came home and i facebook-ed, and watched some tv, and laid around for 3 hours. my butt is numb from sitting for so long actually. i feel like this time in necessary for me though because i think i might go insane from being so busy all of the time! i just wish i wasn't sooo lazy sometimes though. i mean 3 hours? really? that's pushing it.



anyways, that's what's up.
my birfy is in 5 days! 19, yay!
i also really need to go to the grocery store, and i have needed to for probably a month, but i really don't want to walk there.
andddd, goodbye :)
