factoid of the day

when people ask me what i want to be, i say “Benjamin Franklin.  …er, without chlamydia.”

well, mostly i just say “i want to write and i want to be a professor.”  a lot of people surprisingly don’t understand the allure of being irresistable to the French, making history, being incredibly intelligent, and having one’s image printed on a large denomination of money.  get with it, Americans!

the pinings of a poor college girl

…oh how she pines!  e-window shopping is both a blessing and a curse.

the famed Ashish Platform Wedge (http://www.topshop.com). they come in more interesting prints, however i really just want them in black.

 

good oxfords are hard to find, especially if you have narrow feets like me. these would be perfect... if only Oak would restock them! (http://www.oaknyc.com)

the perfect oversized cable knit to keep cozy in (http://www.pixiemarket.com)

the Canon EOS XSi. all i want is a little entry-level DSLR- is that much to ask? (http://www.bestbuy.com)

this is basically all i’ve been thinking about.  the weather here is unusually warm- even for Vegas.  that just buys me time to find the perfect outerwear for winter.  i’m having a hell of a time finding said perfect outerwear though!  wherever i look, there is always something amiss- wrong color, wrong sleeve length, wrong fabric…  boo and hiss.  in good news, though, i found a pair of Ksubi jeans for $99 at Nordstrom the other day.  thank you, Twice Yearly Sale

i’m alive i swear

no really!  nothing much to report except that my boyfriend vomited all over the passenger side door of my dad’s SUV last Saturday after drinking over 3 liters of beer at the Hofbrauhaus, i went to a Renaissance Fair (and loved it), school is kicking my ass, the weather is amazing, and i bought 2 pairs of over-the-knee boots for cheaps.

today was the very first day

that i wore a tunic to school with only a pair of leggings underneath, and no actual jeans/pants!  it went well, and i looked cute.  yes, i am lame.  i also got my nails done.  not nail-art, but i was inspired by Rihanna’s long dark nails that she usually has.  in any case, i hate the acrylics on me and i can’t wait to get them removed.  i feel like a wild animal, and not in a sexy way.

various items

1. it frustrates me to no end that i cannot maintain this, so i’m going to actually SCHEDULE time for me to at least post anything at all.

2. i took the MBTI, and i’m an ENTP.  the description was flattering hahaha.

3. i’m poor for two more weeks.  i basically will not have gotten paid for an entire month from UNLV because of the time i decided to start work.  annoying, yes.  am i poor, totally.  i really like my job, so i’ll deal.

4. i’ve been contemplating studying abroad eventually, but i can’t decide whether to leave that for field study in grad school or what.  i don’t want to rush my graduation, but i’d like to be done no later than spring 2012.

5. i want bootz.

for those of you that have moved out…

either into a dorm or elsewhere: how’d you do it?

 

lol no really.  tell me.

you know who i’m talking about.

there is a girl in my journalism class who will be lucky if she escapes the semester unscathed.  she’s the type that raises their hand ALL THE TIME and think they have valuable information to share with the class ALL THE TIME.  this would be fine, if she actually did have anything intelligent and un-naive to contribute.  i want to trash-can her, although ripping her a new one in front of the class will probably have to make due.

it makes me feel incredibly catty, but even the girl next to me agreed.  luckily i don’t have my discussion class with her, or i would probably end up killing myself.

busy bee

i have barely even had time to update my Twitter, let alone breathe!  ughhhhh!  today is the first time i have been able to turn on my laptop since Wednesday evening.

school shoppangz

i always get excited when it comes to school shopping.  it makes me sad that i no longer really have much of an excuse to buy new clothes every school year- it’s not like i’ve gotten a growth spurt (I WISH!).  that doesn’t keep me from school shopping though.

J Brand 12" Pencil Legs in Ink (http://www.revolveclothing.com)

 

Silence & Noise Boyfriend Open Tweed Blazer (hello 40% employee discount at Urban Outfitters)

 

Hooded Tunic by Pony Attack!!! (please visit http://www.bonadrag.com for the full beauty of this shirt)

 

Loeffler Randall Beulah Ballet Flats (http://www.chickdowntown.com)

 

We Who See Fringe Rodeo Boot (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com)

 

Iwako Ice Cream and Desserts Eraser Set (http://www.shopkawaii.com)

 

i am seriously considering about all of these items… especially the dessert erasers.  i may be almost 23, but i will NEVER get too old for cute school/office supplies.  better yet, i will NEVER get too old for cute things in general.

anybody know where i can get a good oversized cardigan?  i’d really like a cashmere one (suprisingly willing to shell out the dough for it), but J. Crew is the only place i can find that has any and their cardigan is not oversized enough (although i think i can get it monogrammed which is pretty cool… haha).  i just want a nice cozy oversized cardi for those classes in buildings where the AC is set at “Alaska.”

things i love Thursday

the flattery of getting a job offer.  what i don’t love, though, is the fact that it was an opportunity i couldn’t miss so basically i’ve got two jobs now.  we’ll see how long this lasts haha.

blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins.  especially with honey whip!!

tights.  idk, i really like them.  i think i’m going to have a collection by autumn.

honey bbq wings.  (self-explanatory)

strawberry soda. 

 also, mall pretzels.
