Thinking Positively

Since my life will be spent studying, I need to make my study environment much more welcoming.

My goal for this week is to make it look more like this:

I'll definitely post before and after pics :)

A Preview of my Life

...for the next 12 months (hopefully not more). Saweeeet.

Yesssss

Something to look forward to besides the 24/7 studying that will begin tomorrow: the Renegade Craft Fair.

Now I've just gotta decide whether to go for the day or the weekend. Thank you CPA exam. It will probably be just the day.

First CPA exam: Oct. 4th. YIKES. Goodbye whatever little piece of social life I had.

The Moment You've Been Waiting for...

...the unveiling of my "secret project."

Surprise! It's another blog I've been doing. I've been cheating on this one with my other blog called "Brand New Hoosier." You can read through it all. I've been working on it since April I think? It's pretty self explanatory. I chose today to share it with all my friends and family because it was a deadline for me to work towards. You can read more of the explanation on this post.

As for this blog...you can probably tell I've been slacking. I will still probably post things as I come across them, but my other blog will definitely be updated much more regularly :)

I Suck.

Ya, I suck at posting on here. I finished my first week of work and couldn't be happier it's the weekend! Sunday is the unveiling of my "secret project" which is 1/3 done.

This weekend will consist of farmers markets, going to the gym, and car shopping :)

First Day: Done

First day as an "adult" is over. I don't feel too much different. Now I just need to plan trips to see all my friends and they should plan trips to see me :)

Haircut Thursday. Short or keep long. That is the question. We shall see...

Sorry for the short post, but it's past my bedtime. 6am comes fast!

Vanilla Cupcakes :)

Yum yum yum. Mom made these with the shredded zucchini my bff brought over from her fam's garden.
Who would think they are kinda healthy??  She got the recipe from Cook Yourself Thin --> here.

I didn't make the chocolate ones yet (maybe next weekend) but these were a good replacement!

Self-reminder

Self: make these muffins!

One day left before I begin the big girl job. I'm staying busy getting ready.  One thing on my list to do tomorrow is make these amazing-looking chocolate zucchini muffins. I found the recipe on Everybody Likes Sandwiches.

Moving day!

I'm moving out of my apartment today. Done with college :'(

I also kind of unexpectedly am starting my job on monday!

All this means: Updates will be sparse this next week. Until I reveal the super secret awesome project next Sunday.

I've gotta lotta shopping and organizing to do!

Heat Warning

As I'm waiting to go to tennis class, I keep hearing on tv that there is a heat warning for Bloomington. Lovely.

Since I painted my bedroom at home white and I'm moving back into it in a few days, I've been searching for a bedspread. It's time for me to grow up. No more bright pink. I found an awesome bedspread from Anthro but it's a little $$$$.

So I hopped over to Anthro's little punky sister, Urban Outfitters, and found this lovely duvet:

I'm in love.

The Bloomington Dress!!!

During my boredom I was just browsing Modcloth and came across the Bloomington Dress!!!

I thought, surely this can't be the same Btown I know and love and am currently living in...but it was!!

SO CUTE.

SO BORED!

One week left as a student at IU. 

My apartment is almost empty.

Going to paint my room at home this weekend.  White.

Maybe it'll look something like this. If only I had a bigger window!

Time to watch more Wife Swap and look at the new Ikea catalog.  Oh my life is so exciting.

These shoes want me

...and I want them.

Fair Time :)

I took this picture last night at the county fair. It was fun and felt like I was at the county fair where my cousins show their animals.   Unfortunately this is not from my new Polaroid camera. I used a program called Poladroid (google it) which turns jpegs into Polaroids <----I LOVE IT.  Many more faux-polaroids to come!

Unexpected Find

What an interesting weekend. Class was cancelled Friday so I headed home Thursday night...after a little stop in Broadripple. Friday I took my sisters to the Monon Center which is basically a small little water park. Then it was "game night" with my best friend from high school and her college friends. It was so much fun and gave me the perfect idea for my sign language presentation! 


Well, I was planning on heading back to school Saturday morning but instead, I got dragged to northern Indiana to help my mom clean out my grandpa's house and get it ready to be sold.  It ended up being way more fun than I thought because I had to clean out drawers and closets and ended up finding TEETH! False teeth...multiple pairs. 


But that is not the highlight of my finds. I was taking things to his garage when I saw a dirty black bag. I opened it up and found an old Polaroid camera!!!!! It took me a second to figure out how to get it opened, but after I did, I pressed the button and it took a polaroid picture. The film was super old and not good anymore, but it got me super excited to order some online and try it out. Since Polaroid stopped making film, I've gotta order it and it's running about $25 for 8 pictures. Ughhhh


Here it is:

I can't wait to get some film! Now Holga has a buddy :)
