In a good place

Right now things are going pretty well for me. I really feel like I am in a good place. Summer school classes are starting, so I am getting ready for that. I am developing a workout plan and am trying to make better choices when I eat, and eat SMALLER PORTIONS!! i think that is going to help out a ton. I am still waiting to hear back from the interview that I had last week. I am really hoping that I get the job. or at least get some of the weeks.
I also discovered this wonderful artist, and learned that she uses encaustic technique when creating her collages. I really want to get into doing that and am looking at taking a summer class on that.
Also got my hair done ( I LOVE IT ) it looks awesome I think next time I might want even more blond in it but it looks super cute. Picture to be posted soon! as soon as i get my straightener back from michelle.
One more little note I am trying to buy the blackberry world edition from ebay. I think i can get one pretty cheap and i will just use it to see if i like it better than my storm. And if i don't i can just resell it on ebay. I just dunno i mean the storm is awesome 75% of the time i just dont know if the world edition will be even better.

What to do, what to do

As I was laying in bed last night, I was remembering this time last year. It was a struggle for me I had not heard from my boyfriend in a week and was basically breaking up with him at this time. So I was looking for something to distract me and get really involved in. I decided that I wanted to design dog bowls for people and sell them. Trying to start my own little business. I came up with designs, researched places to get supplies and where I could fire the ceramic bowls. I even had a title for my business.... And then I started dating Robby. And that became a happy summer distraction and slowly I was too busy with him and school work to really put the time into my "business" that it needed.
Well as I was about to fall asleep I really wished that I had some sort of business to run. I know that I am about to receive my degree in education and then my masters. So I know that ultimately I am going to be teaching for some time. Which will be great because I will have benefits and a steady salary.
But I feel that even then I am going to want more. I am going to want to do something creative. I want to make money designing and selling things for people. I just need to figure out exactly what it is I want to do. As I was falling asleep listening to the announcers saying how impressive Lebron James was doing and he was only 24! i just turned 22 and I want to have that i want to be making money and doing something impressive for someone my age.

p.s. Yay! for selling books back and getting money!!!!

Something like this?

Wow...another semester ends


Super cute necklace via here

Finally I am almost done with this semester and a wonderful 3 days off before i start my summer classes! whoot!

So much to talk about but first Kelsey, Robby's little sis, is graduating HS this year. I have been looking for something cute to get her as a gift. I just found this necklace on etsy.com its super cute and her style I think.. i just dont know if thats what i want to get her yet. I also want to get myself a hand stamped necklace, not sure what I want on it though. Thinking "stella" on one "c&r" on the other? my initials on it instead? So still thinking about that.

I have my hair appointment is friday! super excited. cant wait to post before/after photos. Hopefully it will be super cute!

Lately I have this desire to just up and move to southern california (after i graduate of course) get a small appartment, a teaching job, and live there with stella and just enjoy my surroundings. I dunno it just feels sometimes like that was where I was always supost to be. I mean i love virginia Beach but sometimes i just want to get away. I am thinking that next summer I might take some vacations by myself.. or with courtney just as a break i could just relax and do whatever I want.
I think that most of these feelings are brought on because I feel like Robby and I are so final. We basically live together, but dont. Which is very trying for me I am constantly moved around not feeling truely settled at either location.
Also I wonder if I am ready to be so close to living with someone, I always thought I would have my own place after I graduated and decorate it the way I wanted to, not having to make compromises, or get permission to have something. I just feel like that step is going to be the next step in my life. I am going to go straight from graduating to offically living with robby. I dont know If i am ready for that, I dont know if he is ready for that. Granted this is all still at least a year away but still. Its just that feeling. I guess time will tell.. hopefully it will all work out.
