Currently...


Hey everybody! I've seen people do these types of blog posts in the past and I would always love to see what people were currently up to. So why not do one for myself?! 

Reading: Right now I'm currently reading The Book Thief, which I have been reading forever it seems like! I seriously need to take time out and read the book instead of reading it when I have a break on my job haahaa, because that's seriously has been the only time I have been reading Dx The sad thing is that I'm really enjoying the book! Like it's really good! So I'm going to try and take some time out at the end of the day before I go to bed -as long as I don't have any homework or tests to study for- and read a bit!

Eating: SOOOO my Mama made some banana pudding on Sunday or Monday, I think it was Sunday, and girl lemme tell you.... it is so GOOD!! It's like always good, but I guess I just haven't had any in a while and I sure am enjoying it while it's here! because it's practically gone already and she made a big dish of it too! I wish you guys could try it! Someday I'll let her teach me how to make it -cuz she's been trying to show me how to make it a couple times now, but I always say I have something to do like homework...or something..I know...it's a shame...- and maybe I'll write a blog post with a recipe with it...MAYBE okay? haha!

Loving: I'm LOVING this MacBook my sister gave to me!! I know she's such a sweetheart but you would never hear me call her that to her face haha it's just weird! She gave me her old MacBook that she got back in 2011 for a church program we were in. She let me have it because she bought herself a new laptop from Wal-Mart at a really good price- I was literally so close to buying one for myself, but I decided it is best to save up and wait for a better deal or computer Now don't get me wrong, this MacBook is not new at all and it has to be plugged in at all times or else it will not work so if the laptop gets unplugged, it'll shut off immediately, which is frustrating, but I'm super careful with it so it's not that big of an issue. But it has been so nice to have this!! As you can (hopefully) see, I'm trying to blog more and it's just so much more convenient for me, with my schoolwork and everything! So thank you Andrea! :)

Listening To: I've been listening to so much from Coldplay recently! Like every since the SuperBowl even though I didn't even watch the Superbowl at all...I just heard that they were performing and I forgot how much I love Coldplay!! My new favorite song by them is "Fix You" you can listen to it here if you want to :)



Watching: I started watching New Girl about three weeks ago! That show is so funny! I love Jess so much! She's just so funny and quirky! I haven't watched any episodes for about a week because I usually watch it in the morning before I go to school, but lately I have been going to been pretty late, so I haven't gotten up earlier like I had been. But I'm going to try to go to bed earlier today since I don't have a test to study for and I haven't taken a nap! haha

Looking Forward To: I'm looking forward to this Saturday because it's my friend Brittany's 18th birthday and she's also having her birthday party on the same day! She literally always has the best birthday parties! Last year for her birthday party it was a mall race, where it was basically like a scavenger hunt in the mall to find certain things and take pictures of the item you're trying to find! It was so much fun! Now this year we're going to this place downtown called Room Escape-- your team has to solve clues and riddles in a certain amount of time in a "seemingly normal room" to make your escape! It seems super fun because I've never done anything like this. I'm thinking about if I should Google some riddles or something for practice, because I don't have much experience with them but hopefully I'll be okay!

Thinking About: Along with what I'm looking forward to, I'm also thinking about what I'm going to get for her birthday! I just got her something for Christmas which was a pretty nice gift and I knew she would like it, but I feel like I'm always giving her the same theme of gift which I don't think she minds at all so I want to try and switch it up. I usually get her something anime related or something book related, but I seriously need to think outside of the box because this may literally be the last time I can be at one of her birthday parties because she's going to go to college in a different country :( So I seriously need to think about what I should get her because time is ticking!!!

Well I hope you guys enjoyed that! I sure did enjoy writing about it! I'll probably try to do these every so often, maybe like once a month or so :D Thanks for stopping by! What are you guys currently doing? Feel free to let me know :)

School Update!! | February Goals :D

Hey guys!

So I just wanted to come on here and talk about my spring 2016 semester of college! I'm not sure if I explained how I have to drive around 30 minutes from home each day to get to my college, but yeah that's what's up.

At first I was a little eerie about having to drive 30 minutes away from home each day, because last semester, I only had to do that three times a week. But you know I am really enjoying it! I changed my attitude about it and told myself that I'm going to have fun and not be discouraged -- and that's just what's happening!

Okay, now I have a confession to make... so on the first day of school I totally overslept and missed all of my classes for that day!! Dx I know terrible right?! I didn't go to bed until like 12 the night before and I didn't get back on a good sleeping schedule beforehand to get me prepared for the semester (because I have class at 8:00 am four times a week) and so when I woke up I looked at the time and it said 10:30am! I was so shocked and in denial, and I kept on asking questions like "Why didn't anybody wake me up?!!!!"

I was a mess ya'll... lets just say that. By the end of the day I was okay about it and I made sure I went to bed at an earlier time and had all my alarms set and the volume turned all the way up! haha that's never going to happen again!!

Overall, these first couple of weeks have been great :) it's been nice to see faces of people you know and made friends with in the previous semester and also to see new faces and create new friendships!

All my teachers are great and they all seem to really enjoy what they teach and what they do. It is always great to have teachers to love what they do :) I thank God for all my teachers and classmates that I have :D

Oh you guys might what to know what types of classes I'm taking right? I'm taking all my band classes (College band, Pep band, and Applied band -- private lessons), Chemistry, Psychology, and Literature! I have a total of 15 credit hours.

Now it's times for my February goals!!! yay #goals! jkjk

This month I want to focus on...

  • Cleaning the computer desk area in my room (get rid of the old computer because it's just hoarding up space now!!)
  • Read at least 1 book! yes I know...only one, but I've been on the same book for like 2 months now!
  • Do something for Black History month! :D even it's just watching Selma or something
  • Just organize and de-clutter your room of unnecessary things

The song that I was jamming to a lot in January was...



Thank you for stopping by!!! Have any of you overslept for school and freaked out like I did?? haha see ya in the next post!
