Easter/D.C.


So, I haven't had much time to write...again...School has been so crazy, then working isn't helping much. This past weekend I went to Washington D.C., but before I talk about that, I have to talk about my awesome Easter! It all started when we realized easter was here... So of course we went home, it's a must of course, and this year I was going to eat like there was no tomorrow! Last year I got the flu, and...well...let's just say that wasn't fun...at all! So, we had a great weekend, we got to spend quality time with both families, but the best part was coming home. I have to say, I have the best friends ever. we came in, and there was some note about our very own easter egg hunt, and two envelopes...well, thunda started looking for eggs, so neither of us finished reading the directions, but when we called Mrs. DQ (after finding all the eggs, then reading the riddles in the envelopes which revealved where our prizes were) she informed us that there were two prize eggs that we were supposed to find first...so the hunt was on again! we had so much fun. It was the best Easter surprise I've ever had, and we had so much fun, wich we don't do a lot anymore either. So then we were told there was something upstairs for us, and it was a "note from the cats" and it was awesome! So, thank you Mr. and Mrs. DQ. You're the best! So, now onto my D.C. trip. I didn't want to come back. It was everything I wanted in a city. A good history, good museums that are free, and you can walk everywhere! The people were so kind, and around the mall, people respected it so much. there were people walking thier kids in strollers at 11p at night, and felt comfertable. I felt so safe. My favorite part was the Lincoln Memorial. People sat on the steps and just talked, and it was so amazing looking upon this great sculpture. How I long to be back there on those steps enjoying the gentle breeze on a warm summer night. It was beautiful. We ate at China town with my Chinese professor, which was fun. He ordered in Chinese, and told the hostess thier food sucked...classic...just his personality. We laughed about it later when he told us what he said. "This my first time...and this my last time". He really made the trip...something...:) My new favorite museum(s) is the Smithsonian. I could just live in one. I saw a Leonardo Da Vinci...yes, that's right, I damn near put my nose to the glass (and got yelled at by a gaurd for it...to my defense...IT'S BEHIND A FRIGGIN GLASS!). It was beautiful. Nothing short of spactacular. I also got to see Van Gogh, Renior, Matisse, Rodin (the thinker!), and so many more! OOh, and I saw the hope diamond! And Dorothy's shoes! It was so incredible. I don't think anyone really wants to listen to me rant, so I won't continue too much longer.:) We stayed in the Hotel Harrington, which at first seemed wierd, but it's actually pretty cool. It was built in 1917, and still has that kind of look to it. It was fancy!:) we were only there long enough to sleep really, but it was cool. My friend wants to open a bakery, so we made sure to stop at a bakery while we were there. A cup cakery actually, and it was incredible!!! Red Velvet was the name, and everything is home made, and delicious! So, I highly recommend! well, that's all the awesomeness for now, I really needed a good feeling, so I thought I should blogg about these two special weekends of mine. I hope they will always over power all the stress in my life, like now, when life is dumb...yeah... (fin)

Springish...

Geese, I have so much going on in my life, and so much to write about, but I just don't ever have the time to write! Isn't that how life always is, it's kind of like finally getting a job. You finally have money to do the things you never did because you were broke, but now you have no time to do them. Anyways...

I'm trying to find a new apartment. I think I'm not allowed to stay in one place for more than a year, because something always happens and me and Thunda decide to move. The landlord isn't doing a very good job about keeping down the partying or enforcing the parking rules, so we're getting fed up. One of our neighbors had a party last night, and someone threw my bike in the ditch, and my landlord didn't seem too concern. Well, I am, because who knows, one night they could decide to start throwing beer bottles...at our vehicles...that would not be good. I think me and Thunda are above all this, and I'm tired of putting up with it, and our landlord. We've also got a drip in our ceiling that we told the maintenance about, and our landlord got huffy about that...so I guess we just won't bother him about it again until the ceiling falls through.

I thought Spring was here, but in actaulity, Spring is having a fight with it's arch nemosis Winter. Sunday was beautiful, and warm...Tuesday it's snowing. Unbeleivable! Today is nice again, and I'm excited again, but I feel a little sceptical...I don't know if I can trust weather right now.

I finally got a call back at Wal-Mart, and I do my orientation tonight! yay! I'm really excited to get in there and start working, and start getting paychecks! In celebration of getting a new job I'm going to get an i-phone, so I'm so excited! I will miss my razor, but it's time to move on...

I have a lot of work for school right now, and it almost seems like too much. I got overwhelmed thinking about my resume, and the lack of things to put on it, that I was volunteering to do stuff that I didn't have the time for, so, I've given up on those things, told myself there will be time later, and now I'm just focusing on the neccessities. Since I am a Senior, I am participating in my art programs anual senior show, and that is a female dog! when putting stuff in a gallery, you always want to put your best foot foward, but this is like a coming of age kind of thing. There's a sophomore and a senior show. The sophomore show is like a free-for-all, and anything you want to put in it goes. The Senior show is juried, and only two of your pieces make it, and there's a chance to win money! I'm also doing a competition (one of those things I didn't give up) and so far, no one has entered, so I hope I win...there's money involved again.:) It's for the environmental club, so I guess no one really knows about it. Oh well, their loss...no one say a word!

I've decided what I'm going to do with my life. I've always wanted my own cafe, and at the beggining of this semester I expressed to Thunda how much I really wanted that sometime down the line. well, as the days passed, I kept coming up with good ideas for it. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so the goals became more real, and my original anticipated date to start slowly kept lowering. Well...I have to do a cover letter for my senior capstone, and I have to find an actual job to apply for...I couldn't find one. Nothing, nada to do with my art major, so...I decided to go ahead with my cafe. I give myself two years to get my stuff together (business proposals, name, etc. etc.) and I'm going to start my business. Until then, I'll find a random 9-5 job that all you need is a batchelors degree for, and I'll save save save, so...that's what I'm going to do! It'll be great, i can do my own art, and sell it, and cook, and eat, and be happy!

Easter is this weekend, and I'm excited to enjoy it! Last year I caught the flu and was sick as soon as I woke up that morning, and that's the day Thunda's family has Easter dinner, so I was miserable, and by myself praying to the porcelain gods...then Thunda got sick too...double wammy. This year, I've been taking my echanasia, and I've been going to bed early every night,so, this year... I'm eating my deviled eggs!!!

Well, I hope everyone elses lives are as crazy as mine! leave me some feed back, I love to read the comments from you guys!

Long time no write...

I have neglected this blogg so much! Life has been crazy, like usual, but now it's crazy because I'm working on preparing myself for the future!!! I have to build up my resume, I'm scheduling classes for my last semester of college! some really exciting things happening. This weekend, I'm working to get ahead of all my work because I've got a job at Wal-Mart, and I'm going to have less time to waste. Oh yes, I'm excited about the new job too! I miss having money! so anywho, I don't have much to say, but that I'm extremely busy, and I felt bad for not blogging in such a long time...my thunda kat will be graduating in just a few weeks, and I'm so excited for him! Spring has finally sprung! It's beautiful outside! I think it's supposed to rain, but I hope that it's sunny long enough this weekend that I can enjoy it! I love spring. I always thought I'd want to live in a place that was sunny year round, but I think I would miss the feeling I get when the snow goes away, and the spring comes...it's a great feeling. You can see it everyone's moods. well...anywho, everyone enjoy the sun, and be happy, and get excited about easter, and summer vacation!
