The Way I See It # 548

I just got back from the Jackie-O. So many people were there, it was insane. It was Shane and Ganesh's 21st birthdays, so it was a fun night. Surprisingly, Coppola was there! We caught up and talked about our semesters and what's been going on in our lives. It was really awesome to see an old friend. We found out we're both in a class next semester, and I can honestly say I'm pretty excited for that. Having another class with prof. Abse is one thing, but having another friend in there too? That's going to be awesome.

Buut other than that the place was PACKED. So many people there I had no idea who they were or how they knew anyone. but I did see some familiar faces, and I talked with Colleen for a while. I really like her, we don't really hang out much but she wants to, and I'm definitely going to take her up on it. I don't really have a lot of girl friends, so the more the merrier!

I'm still thinking about tattoos... dun dun dunnn.... I don't know if it will ever happen, but looking at pictures and semi-planning one is fun and takes up some of my free time. I've even thought about replicating the design I want into a henna tattoo. I think that would just be a fun project, and I could see if I liked having something on my skin, however temporary. Though the design I really want would be way too complicated for me to replicate on my own, I would definitely need some help...

In other news, I talked to my friend Brendan the other day and it was really great. He's doing a collaborative art project that I'm interested in participating in and so we talked a little bit about that and caught up on our lives and such (this seems to be a reoccuring theme). I'm excited about this project. He's going to make a graphic novel/narrative about childhood memories of the American people. So he's asking all of his friends to contribute a story for him to draw and put together into a book. I love the idea, and I'm excited to start writing my story.

I need to get some sleep.
Nova in the morning!

The Way I See It # 493

I'm wondering why it is so difficult to find stylish messenger bags. They all are either ugly or bulky, and they don't have nice prints. I just want something that goes across the body, is comfortable, and looks nice, and it seems that that is too much to ask for.
Oh well, my search continues.

I'm waiting around to eat at Shafer, and I'm currently in the library. It's beautiful outside, but the wind is seriously an issue with hair as long as mine. I have a head band on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have work at 5:30 tonight, and I realized that I really don't like working at the book store. It's incredibly boring, and all I do is fold shirts. Also, I'm barely authorized to do anything, and this makes me feel useless as an employee. I shouldn't complain because they could have booted me, I could be working ridiculous hours, and I'm not doing any of those things. So I work for..... 3.5 hours tonight? 5:30-9. yeah, 3.5 hours. That sucks! I guess it isn't too bad because the work is mind-numbing, and it's not like I'm there until 10. Tonight is guild, which should be fun, at least I have that to look forward to.

Michele mentioned something about going to DC on Monday to see a presentation about the Peace Core. I'm not sure if I'm going to go with her, as she asked, because I have class. Though I have yet to miss a class in either of my classes on Mondays, and Sarah could take notes for me in one of the classes. Maybe I will, I love DC.

I need to go home soon. I think I mention this every day to at least one person. I think that if Michele goes home next month I'll hit her up for a ride. It would be nice to come home for a bit and get some things taken cared of.

So I'm home, and while it's nice to be here, it's not as relaxing as I thought it would be. I did all my homework today while enjoying the weather outside. That was nice. I did run in to people I know, and I did go somewhere that I have in Richmond, but seriously fuck that. I was sitting outside in the middle of Vienna, and if that's not "Going Home" then what is?

I took a shower this morning, and I realized that my hair looks much better up here in Nova. Also everything in my house is immaculately clean because none of the girls live at home anymore. My bathroom was untouched and pristine, and so was my room. It was creepy, but comforting at the same time. Tomorrow I'm going to Tysons to do some much needed retail therapy. I need a new coat like crazy, so that's my mission for the day. Then tomorrow night we're celebrating Dad's birthday and going out to Dinner. That will be nice, I think.

Now I might cuddle in my Mom's room and eat ice cream out of a coffee mug.
