Impatience. It's a common trait in my typical day currently. But it's joined by the feeling of not wanting time to pass. I feel like this is the typical feeling of most college kids when the end of the semester is in sight, but there are still a multitude of projects, papers, and tests standing in the way. This semester is worse for me though. Not because I'm graduating, but instead it's because a mere 3 weeks or so after (maybe a little less?) the end of the semester I'm leaving the country. I'm spending a bit over two months studying abroad this summer, and this is of course stressing me out for all kinds of reasons.
There are all sorts of things that can go wrong with study abroad. From plane delays to creepy homestay families, I don't really know where to start on my list of worries. Although the big one is probably "WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF MONEY?" Because I mean, being abroad is really expensive. And not only that, but I'm going to be staying in Paris and London which are some of the most expensive cities in the world. But it's also exciting. But first I have to finish paying for it, and then there's the whole figuring out what to pack and... Let's just say I have pretty far to go before I leave.
I feel like some of my professors are bored with these projects, and it's kind of hard for me to be interested if they aren't. I can handle a lot, but how can I focus on making logos when I have to focus on building the perfect Parisian wardrobe?
I'm dragging my feet, and I can't seem to focus. I've done nothing outside of play pokemon, pet my cat, and look at some illustrator documents that I haven't worked on since last weekend even though I have a full ad campaign, catalog cover, contents, and sample spread, invitation, and website due for this project. I haven't even been to the letterpress studio since class, and I have to have my first color printed by tuesday. And I still don't even have a name for my beer app.
Basically I suck, and I'm currently a horrifically unmotivated student.

Actual Weekend Adventures?
Wow. This was successfully my least productive weekend I've had probably since the beginning of this semester. I went into the city to take pictures and get stuff done. Somehow that turned into crashing on a friends couch, eating pizza, zoo adventures, fish tacos, sneaking cheesecake into a theater, and spending too much money in the new Lush store.
I can't exactly complain though. It was probably also one of the best weekends I've had in too long. Sometimes I forget all the friend time I miss out on by living at home with my parents and taking school so seriously. I wouldn't change the way I'm going through school, but sometimes I enjoy a break. I've been a full time student for the last three years straight, and even though the end is in sight I still get tired. And not only that, but it's looking like I might have to push off my graduation until August because of trying to fit an internship in? Great.
But anyways. Other things. I went to a Lush store for the first time ever! It was slammed because they've barely been open a week, but we got two different store tours and several product demos. They were out of EVERY fresh face mask AND lip scrub. So obviously, I had to spend my money elsewhere, like on some solid shampoo. It's meant to help your hair grow really long and amazing, so hopefully that will do it's thang. I haven't really be washing my hair on the regular, so it will still be an occasional thing. If I like it I might also look into buying some of the Jungle conditioner for travelling this summer because it will be way easier to take onto the plane. I also managed to get a tangerine bubble bar (an Easter special I think?) and a sex bomb bath bomb which smells amazing. All this means I have to find time to take a bath this week, right? That's what I was thinking. Maybe thursday to celebrate the surviving of the week, if I make it to then.
I've been acting crazy (or responsible?) and getting up at 5:30 most days to go swimming before my 8 am's. It's wearing me out, but it's a good kind of worn out. I'm thinking about incorporating some running into my weekly routine as well? I've decided that I should be in good enough shape that I could survive an apocalypse. And also maybe run/swim/bike a triathlon. I'll let you know how the running thing goes. Or maybe I won't, because I might just forget that I ever had the idea. Because I really real life hate running. Any suggestions on how to stop hating it? Because I'd be glad to hear them.
