I am feeling INCREDIBLY unmotivated

Ever since I put up my store I've been feeling extremely drained creatively. I have no desire to anything artistic. I take that back actually. I have the desire to do creative things but no drive or follow through. I'm taking a much needed break and when I delve back into the world of creating, I'll be doing it for enjoyment for a while because I think I really need to. When I find the motivation, I'm going to get a jump start on one of my 21 goals before 21. This is really silly because I am not done with my 20 before 20 yet but...that's life :). Here's a peek at what I want to do:


In other news...
I had my first class today and I really enjoyed it. It was Intro to Sales Promotion. I'm so excited about my new major but I have not given up on fashion just yet. I still keep a sketchbook handy where I can scribble out designs and I'm taking a sewing class this semester so I can start making my scribbles into actual pieces that I can wear. One of my friends from last year gave me the sweetest compliment last night. When I told him I had changed my major he told me that I shouldn't have because I was really good at design and I should keep doing what I'm doing even though it's not my major anymore. I am so flattered! I'm rather shy about my sketches (not the most talented illustrator) but maybe I'll be bold enough to share some with you someday :).

Finally... I'll be at Renegade this weekend in Chicago. If you see me, say hello! I'd love to meet you :). I have no idea what I'll be wearing but I'll look something like this:

hahaha That's all for today!

Back to School...

My first class was this morning..or..well...it was supposed to be this morning. I got all dressed up, curled my hair, threw on my favorite pair of black heels and set off for my first day of my sophomore year. The class I was headed to was art history. I'm not sure if I've shared here yet, but I decided to change my major months ago and never got around to officially changing it at the school. My new major is Marketing and as such, I am no longer required to take Art History II. Praise the lord!! I decided I'd give it a try anyways but from the moment the syllabus hit my hands I knew it was NOT a class I wanted to be in. Sooo... like the responsible student I am, I got the hell out of there, went immediately to the counseling office and changed my major. I also dropped two of my classes and picked up two major specific classes. I'm really excited about my schedule now and I can't wait to go to my actual first class tomorrow morning!

Yesterday everything that I've done this past week finally caught up to me. All of the long days of driving/moving/furnishing/unpacking/grocery shopping/organizing/not sleeping took it's toll and I spent most of the day in bed watching How I Met Your Mother. It was nice to relax and I think I really needed the break.

My goal for this week is to apply to as many jobs as possible and hope like hell that someone will hire me. I really need the money and it'd be a really productive way to fill my time. It's also nice to have the responsibility and somewhere I have to be that isn't my apartment or class. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Sorry this post was all text and not really cohesive. I have some things I want to share with you later in the week so things will get more exciting around here. No worries :).
