Crash Course

"Haste makes waste," my high school witch of an English teacher always said.  I hated that class and vowed that I would never take her opinion without a grain of salt.  But, I did learn at least one thing from her-  that if you slow down and pay attention to what you're doing, everything will go a lot smoother.  I know that it is a true standard to live by, but I can't ever seem to get my self to apply it!  It's so frustrating.  I know time management skills, but I'm just so dang forgetful.  At work, I'm partly in charge of the outreaches, one on ones, test administrations, and email.  So, this week I was assigned to administer a test in the library.  Guess what I did!  I forgot!  The professor was mad, I was mad, and people were flustered.  What a day. I've been working at the CASC for 1.5 years and I still just today had a crash course.  I felt like I couldn't stop apologizing.  Everything was fine.  Everyong but 2 finished their test on time... even though I didn't even have the right website for them to go to and had to call the office again.  UGH.  loser time.  Nothing makes you feel worse than when you fail to do well what you normally do best.

So, today, I am committing to do better at not making waste by being haste.
                                         Thank  you high school.

A new favorite- it gets me everytime.

Hear You Me (by Jimmy Eat World)
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

Some of my sold headbands... More to come!

Sorry the picture quality is horrible... The colors are pretty true to the real colors.

Crocheted Headbands... the extreme fad.

They're cute, they're fun, they're colorful.

  If you want one, or know anyone who wants one, let me know!  I'm selling them for $15 each, $25 if you buy 2!

Uninspired

I feel uninspired lately. I think that school is bogging me down. I have no time to dwell on what my mind is thinking. No time to let my heart create words to express what she is feeling. No time to explore the music that is struggling inside me. Life gets so crazy sometimes- we all have these times. But I don't want to accept it. I will not fall into the machine. I will not let myself become a monster. I am an artist- an artist of my own life. Test scores, red ink, this is not learning. Learning is not cheap, not lazy, not given. We must learn. We must learn even if our body does not want to. We must learn even if our body does not allow us to. We must learn despite what society hinders us with. We must learn in order to be inspired. I feel uninspired lately. But, I feel I am learning. Is this inspiration? Maybe I am inspired... just differently. Maybe I will be able to get a breathing moment soon, and I will allow myself to be inspired in my own way again... my artist's way.

Can you believe it?

First of all, Halloween morning (i think...) I ran a 5k with my sister, Kelli. It was hard (since it was only the 2nd time I had run 3 miles in the past 6 months!) but sooo worth it! And I ran it in 27 minutes. Kelli ran it in 26 min 43 seconds, I think. I was really excited about my accomplishment.

As for school, we only have 5 weeks of classes left! (6 including thanksgiving week, I think). Yay! I'm so tired of this semester, I'm ready for next semester... new classes, new start, new new new. I'm also excited because I'm probably going to be graduating in August of next year! Can you believe it?! I barely can. I'm so excited!!

I'm growin up I guess...
