Don't Spring Clean During Finals

Dress - JCPenney // Cardigan - Old Navy (Thrifted) // Shoes - Body Central

Well, I finally finished finals! I was planning to blog as I didn't have too much work to do, but I was favoring going to bed early and trying to get a good night's sleep over spending time blogging. I think finals went well, but I won't know for sure until I get all my grades back.

So, for some strange reason I decided to start Spring cleaning in the middle of finals. I don't know why this struck me as a good idea, but it did. After everything was all nice and clean I decided to do something even dumber thing (during finals week, that is) and bring up everything I owned from the basement and sort through it. It didn't really affect the amount of time I spent working on final projects, but that was still a rather dumb idea. My dining room now is completely full of containers and stuff I'm getting rid of. I must say, it's nice to not have all that unwanted junk laying around (and bothering me 'cause even though it's in the basement and I can't see it . . . I know it's there). But I still think I could have picked a better time to do this. The job is still unfinished and I'm planning to spend a few days back at my house next week finishing everything up. The sad thing is that I am going to need to Spring clean the upstairs again after this just 'cause all the basement stuff was so nasty and dusty.

Anyways, I'm definitely glad to be done with school for the summer!

The Week Before . . .

I tell you what. Finals week ain't got nothing on the week before finals. It's so much crazier and there's just so much more to do. But I did it! Finished my last class for the semester! I still have to go in for two finals next week and turn some stuff in, but other than that . . . I am very much done. You know what my favorite part of being done is? Not setting my alarm for tomorrow. NOT SETTING AN ALARM. People, I do not have to get up tomorrow. And most likely won't be.

Welp, in celebration of the end of the semester I am going to Netflix binge for a bit. Oh! And I'll probably waste a bit of time on Pinterest. I . . I can't believe I've avoided Pinterest for so many years. It's awesome! The amount of homework I was avoiding may have contributed to an increased interest in Pinterest. But still, I think it's pretty cool!

Anyways, if any of you have finals soon, I hope they go well! Have a great weekend!

Hello, Sweetie

I've posted my Doctor Who costumes before, but I had yet to buy actual everyday wear related to Doctor Who. That, my friends, is no more. I was at Hot Topic a few weeks ago with one of my friends from Akron and I saw this dress. Normally I'm hesitant to buy fandom shirts and such 'cause well . . . I don't really wear t-shirts that much. (side note: I did, however, buy a Supernatural shirt too. I have no idea when I'll wear it but . . . it was half off and . . . it was Supernatural.) But yeah, a dress I will definitely wear! I love that the colors are black and white too 'cause it should be easy to remix. Of course, I feel like the only color I should wear it with is Tardis blue, haha.

Anyways, if you haven't checked out Doctor Who yet . . . do it. Granted the first season is not my favorite, but if you prefer continuity I'd start with the first season (trust me it just gets more and more awesome). I actually found this show 'cause I'd been watching Primeval (another British show) and Doctor Who was supposedly a competitor show. Honestly, I'm not sure which show I like better 'cause they're both pretty awesome! Although, I'm only halfway through season 7 of Doctor Who at this point so no spoilers!

Probably my favorite episodes are the ones with the weeping angels (or basically anything written by Steven Moffat). I can't decide on a favorite Doctor though. What about you guys? Any favorite episodes?

Update: I just found the Just Being Molly and I'm linking up with her #fundaymonday link-up!

Easter Sunday

So it's a few days after Easter now--I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This was probably the funnest holiday I've enjoyed in awhile! There was a great service in the morning. And the ham for dinner was fantastic . . . aaand, that's basically all I remember. The ham. It was good. Anyways, I did have to do a bit of homework, but the rest of the day I spent playing dutch blitz with my mom and my aunt. If you haven't played before, it's pretty fun (you can check out the website here). I think it's funny though 'cause every time I play I completely forget the rules and the game has to be completely re-explained to me. I usually catch on pretty quickly though (I would hope so since I've played before!). So yeah, fun game.

How was your holiday weekend? Tell me about it!

Good Friday

Not the best picture, yesterday was a bit crazy and I didn't get back 'til after dark. Anyways, I don't want to detract from how important of a day yesterday was. I went home for the weekend and was able to go to church with my family for the Good Friday service there. It was a wonderful service with very worshipful songs! I hope y'all enjoy your Easter weekend :)

Summer Plans

Believe it or not I'm still working on Spring cleaning. Last week it was warm and I had time to clean . . . and now there's a random snow storm. I do not feel like doing anything. Or anything besides curling up under a blanket with a heater, a cat, hot chocolate, and Netflix. Strangely I've actually been fairly productive today. Been working on finding a summer job. Maybe if I get one out in Akron I can keep working there through next semester. Although . . . I would love to get a job in Geneva-on-the-Lake since it's such a kitschy, but cute place. 

Oh! I did actually have a job this past semester. I don't think I really talked about it here. Anyways, I taught Akron After School programs at a few different school in Akron. So for a few months I was a Kitchen Art Teacher. The program ended for the semester (just in time for finals too!) and now I need to find something for this summer! Because I have . . . no money. 

Well, I'm happy to make summer plans especially 'cause it's so dang cold and nasty outside :( Hope the weather's better you all are!

Spring Cleaning

So guess what I've been up to . . . Spring cleaning! It's gonna take awhile to get through everything, but I want to make sure I'm doing a good job. I'm not just cleaning though, I'm also organizing everything. And throwing a lot of stuff away. (Of course I'm passing usable items on to people who can use them) Is it sad that I'm actually really enjoying this? I LOVE THROWING STUFF AWAY! Last week I went maybe a little overboard and had to dig something I actually needed out of the trash can this morning. That's right, I went dumpster diving in my own backyard. Well, driveway.

I don't know what it is about Spring (or...you know, not Winter) but I just feel so much more productive and energized! Usually I don't get much done on Tuesdays and Thursdays just 'cause I'm so tired. But with the weather getting warmer I'm just getting so much more done!

I'll leave you with a picture of my un-brushed, un-bathed horse in his totally gorgeous winter coat :)
