donuts

donuts always remind me of you.

hey december

i've been gone for over a month! here's an attempt to change that. i'll definitely be blogging more here after finals are through. yesterday i got a new camera, and i'm SO excited. that's probably an understatement. here's some pictures from my morning.

it was 38 degrees outside this morning when i woke up! that's the coldest it's been all season. i'm happy.

black on black on black today.

long's birthday party

these photos were from back in september. i finally got the film developed today!

a bunch of these photos are blurry, whoops!

i love this last picture right here.

overall, it was a fun night. i would write more, but i'm tired. i haven't been up this late in a while. (it's 5:12 am! >.<)

today i realized that i have no idea where my actual journal is... hm.

a post to come about saturday night. paul's surprise went really, really, really well. it was hands down one of the best days (nights) i've ever had. <3

neutral-colored life

with a splash of pink! i must say, i do love my neutrals. but i'm loving pink things lately, especially for school and especially for breast cancer awareness month.

better

a few weeks ago i started on this slow slope downwards into a rut that climaxed two wednesdays ago. i felt really bad and i didn't know where to place it or why i was feeling that way. everything was fine. school was alright, friends were awesome, family was okay, paul and i were doing wonderfully, but nonetheless i still felt sad. 

today was so beautiful outside, it was about 70 degrees, sunny, and with a breeze. i had a test in management today, and even though it was a little bit harder than i expected, i think it's safe to say i'm feeling leagues better. i have another test thursday which i'm pretty scared about, just because of the sheer volume of information that it's covering. hopefully i can pass that one. i need to. i'm scared though.

paul's birthday is also on thursday which i'm excited about, he's turning 23! i have a big surprise planned out for him on saturday, which i'm super super excited about and i just hope that it doesn't rain. i'm not gonna put any details on here either if in some case he's reading this (in which case... hi.). 

anyway, i'm excited about this weekend and hopefully i can be superwoman tomorrow and study a ton. today i got a new camera in the mail and i'm so stoked to start taking it everywhere with me. i also (as you can see) had a little self-portrait therapy at the end of my asthma study session. i like it, especially since i haven't taken proper photos of myself in a while.

cheers!

morning surprises

woke up early to go to the bank, buy you donuts (one glazed, one bavarian cream-filled) (i wanted to surprise you), and drop off this film. came by your house and you opened the door, eating a piece of toast with peanut butter smeared all over it. i walked into your kitchen and said "i got something for you!" and when i showed you the little bag of donuts, you looked so happy yet so upset that you already ate. i guess surprises don't always have to work our flawlessly, just the intent matters in the end.

summer, so far

one week ago, i took my last (graded) exam in probably the hardest semester of nursing i've had so far. mental health was seriously a force to be reckoned with, but after it all, i've learned so much and I wouldn't change a thing. it was the biggest 8-week learning experience, hands down. i have about 3 weeks of summer vacation before the next semester starts back up, and to be honest, i would rather have this short break rather than 2.5 months off. i wouldn't know what to do with myself. and really, having this break be so short just forces me to cherish all of the sweet time i do have.

here's some photos from the first week (give or take a few days).
