Yea...that's what I thought.

Random Thoughts.

 I love this. I wish I had my car so that I could drive and find a road/view/scene like this - but similarly, if you've ever gone up to Redbud Isle (it's here in Austin), and turn around so that you're facing towards the city, you'll see one of the most phenomenal panoramic views of Austin everrrr. For serious. It's beautiful. Go check it out..go go go!

 I'm also craving traveling - and speaking of, I cannot forget go by the office of International Travels or whatever it's called today...applications for France are due by March 2nd..yikes! It's already March 22nd! Whooops...where did the time go?!

Her hair..I want. The color is so pretty. I wish my pseudo-red hair would actually stay red. Sigh. Damn you brown roots.

This just kind of makes my heart smile.

 

And then imagine waking up to this view every morning - shit. And with a bottle of wine? Pretty sure my life would be amazing if this is what I got to look forward to on a daily basis.

Why don't we do it in the road?

Good morning everyone! I'm listening to the Beatles this morning, attempting to study a little for my ethical exam at 5:25 later today..the whole studying thing, not going too well right now. Actually, come to think of it, this entire semester I feel as though my studying habits get increasingly worse and worse, which is a trend I need to get out of it.



I have so much stuff going on these days, so many thoughts floating through my head... I'm not sure what's a healthy balance for me of everything. I've been playing so much guitar lately, and I've got 2 shows coming up within the next week. It's exciting, but it definitely takes a toll on me, especially when I'm taking 15 hours of classes, I'm trying to manage my time between 2 jobs, one full time and one part time, and then trying to deal with everything else going on in my life as well. I finally finished my marathon this past Sunday, so at least that's one thing I can check off my list of things to worry about from week to week. But on a side note, HELL YES I ran a marathon. I still can't believe it - it had been 4 and a half months of training coming to an end, and I can't believe that I  was actually able to run and complete it. Too crazy.


But so here I am, last minute trying to rush and study. Blackbird is now playing on my iTunes right now. At least I feel calm. I think we're going to get back our exam from my strategic intelligence class at 12:30. Yikes. I'm not sure how I did on it and I'm not really sure I want to get it back. Why did I have to choose such a hard major?! And I guess it really is relative to whoever is in what major, as some people might find Global Studies super, super easy... but just memorizing dates, people, historical events, peacekeeping resolutions, conferences, treaties, wars, etc...it gets to be a lot. 

"Happiness is a warm gun...." --> I'm definitely not studying right now. Sigh. Oh well. I suppose this is just life, and I'll live and learn as the days go by. 
OKAY. I'm done. I have got to get some studying done. Until next post...

Just a couple of pictures from yesterdays MARATHON. Which I totally ran. My first one, and hopefully not my last one either. Of course right now it kind of feels like it might be my last one for a while (I don't think anyone understands how sore my body is right now, unless you ran the marathon too). So, so, so proud of myself for accomplishing such a feat. Seriously. Who would have thought I could have come thsi far in just a 4 month time span? I'm overly grateful for all the support and encouragement I've gotten from everyone over the course of the past several months, and for the wonderful people who waited for me close to and at the finish line. I couldn't have asked for a better support system in my life - legit hands down, I've got the best friends/people in my life. Of all time. So many good vibes and love is flowing freely all around me, and it was very evident in the crowds of people that came out to support everyone running the half and full marathon yesterday morning. What an awesome thing to be a part of - and if I can run a marathon? Then pshhh.. there isn't anything you can't do. No joke. Want to take something on? Go for it. Don't ever give up... if I can run 26.2 miles, then surely you can do whatever you want and succeed at it. All it takes is a little willpower, love, and motivation :)

Cheers to a wonderful (but really, super sore) week ahead.

so tell me, do you feel like walking
on the edge?
or do you feel love
do you feel love?

tearing you up above

if i sing you a thousand lines
would you believe me and make me dry
but we never said a word before
it's like watching stars from telescopes
you watch them all collide

Happy Valentines Day, homies :)

 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

I just spent my entire weekend dipping and cutting close to over 1,000 strawberries, covering myself in chocolate, drizzling white chocolate all over some of the most delicious berries ever, and I even got to wear the cow suit for a small portion of my time earlier today. While I might complain about how tired I am, or how long the hours were, or how I feel about 3928409 million knots in my back right now, I can truly, honestly say that I have probably THE best job in the world, and I work with THE best people in the world as well. I'm pretty sure I couldn't find more awesome ladies and gentleman if I tried. For realz. And I even only was making $7.50 an hour at that but still...it was all worth it.

I love my life, I love my job, I love these crazy weekend where everything might seem so messed up and I feel like I'm going nuts but through it all, I wouldn't have wanted things to go any other way. Not at all. Life is good, and I appreciate it twofold more often these days.
