Weekend Wrapup. :)

The weekend is over. :( This is terrible. It has been a great one too! Friday I had class and work until 4:30. Some friends and I headed to Target, Michaels, and the dollar store for a few things. After that I headed to Lori's house to spend the night! We partially watched Cadet Kelly, but we were both very tired.

Before...

Saturday, Lori and I ate mini donuts and apple juice for breakfast around 8 am. I made a birthday card for my momma since it was her birthday. At 11am, our school hosted the color rush for the third time. It is a 5k on campus for Homecoming! It was raining, windy, and cold (40 degrees). I wore so many layers! Below is the after picture with all our color! After that I cleaned up, went to the craft fair at school, and got Aurelio's pizza with mom! That evening, I went back to Lori's. We finished our movie!

...after!

Sunday, Lori and I got up around 8:30. We lounged for a while trying to figure out what to do for breakfast. We headed to Baker's Square for breakfast, and followed that by going to Michaels for more yarn! We then watched tv for a while including Stick It, The Parent Trap, and later on Once Upon A Time.

Hot cocoa for Lori.
Hot coffee for me. 

We both got omeletes!

It was a great, unproductive weekend spent with friends and my mom. I am excited for this week as it's only four days! Lori and I are going to her home for Reading Weekend! I love Michigan. It is just beautiful!

I hope you all have a lovely, fall week!

Happy Sunday!!! The sun is shining, it looks like fall, and Lori and I are curled up on the couch doing absolutely nothing. Homework isn't getting done, and I don't care. Because in two weeks time, I am going to be so busy with no time to relax or sleep in. It has been a great weekend! I will do a weekend wrap up tomorrow.

Here is what's going on currently..

Reading: Seventeen magazine, a jamberry catalog, and window shopping online. I didn't bring any homework to Lori's. 

Thinking: about the fact it is going to be a 4 day week! No school on Friday!!! 

Listening: to the tv. We are watching The Parent Trap! Always a classic. 

Writing: this post and that's it. 

Smelling: nothing. 

Wishing: this weekend didn't have to end. 

Hoping: I can crank out my journal assignment for psych tonight after Once Upon A Time. 

Wearing: a crew neck sweatshirt and yoga pants. My favorite outfit! 

Loving: the crisp air and colorful trees! 

Wanting: Friday to be here now. Lori and I are headed to Michigan next weekend for a short camping trip! 

Needing: more people to buy tshirts from me! Thank you to the people that already have! 

Feeling: sore from our 5k yesterday.
Clicking: Publish.

Have a great week!

Well, I am a nonexistent blogger...

Pe class: takes us off campus to the driving range!

My gorgeous RA, Sara, brought us banana choc-chip bread. :)

No comment.

My best friend!

Hey everyone, so if it wasn't obvious, I haven't blogged in over 15,000 days. Well, that's a lie; it's been more like a month. In the past month, I have moved back on campus, into my amazing dorm, bonded with my sweet,crazy, and loud roomies, and have seen my best friend (pictured above) 3 times. 

I am taking four actual classes, auditing two class, working three jobs, and trying to have a social life. It isn't really happening very well, but you know, I'll have a breakdown really soon. 

Today is Friday, and I am sitting down before getting ready for work. After work, a few friends of mine and I are going downtown for the evening. It's $4 for the cta, there is a free Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert at Millenium Park, and BOGO Chipotle!! Tomorrow Lori, Jen, and I (maybe more) are going to IKEA!

So that's whats going on right now. Hopefully I will begin blogging more. Yes I am a terrible person. Well, I'm gonna go be productive now. 

Happy Friday, 

Brit

Robin Williams.

To the man who has provided many laughs,

You have accomplished so much in your great lifetime. You grew up 20 minutes from where I live. You attended Julliard with Christopher Reeves. You have made history with spectacular films, comedy appearances, and fantastic interviews. I guess we could compare your career to a fine wine; which, only gets better as it ages. Not to mention entertaining thousands of military men and women.

Thank you for all you have done for those around you. I am sorry to say that I have only indulged in a handful of your humorous and awesome movies. I now have an itch to watch them all. You have left behind a world that adores you, friends that love you, and family that will always miss you. The world, including myself, was shocked yesterday by learning of your untimely departure from this earth. I'm sorry you had to suffer through inflicting pain and causing asphyxiation. It is hard to imagine a wonderfully, hilarious man such as yourself battling drug and alcohol abuse along side depression.

I pray for your family, friends, community, and fans comfort during this time of your tragic loss. I will always remember you as the man who embraced his femininity of Mrs. Doubtfire, his magical talents as a Genie, and extraterrestrial side in Happy Days. May you have peace in knowing your pain and sadness is no more.

Sincerely,
A fan in disbelief

RIP Robin Williams

A side note about myself and depression.

I don't really like to talk about myself and the private aspects of my emotions. I battled depression for a period of time this past year. After not passing my first nursing class correctly, I became depressed. People told me to suck it up, and just wait for the fall to start over. It is hard to hear those words, and be okay with how brutal their words were. 

I am a person who plans, and to have my plans ripped out from under me, I was devastated. You are talking about an entire year gone. I don't get to graduate when I planned or with the friends I have. I have to pay thousands dollars in extra tuition, fees, and books. I was depressed. 

The only thing keeping me going was knowing I have friends and family waiting for me at the end. I have people that love, support, and push me to be my best. I still have moments when I hate what happened, but I know that this was God's choosing. Now I need to accept what happened, be less upset, and find out why I wasn't meant to graduate in May of 2015. 

If anyone, friends, family, blogger friends, or people I don't know, are having problems; please talk to someone who will listen. Let them take what you say to heart and take it seriously. Depression isn't easy. It is a disease. It took a man that was brilliantly hilarious from this earth. 

*Thank you for reading my rant/story. I apologize if some of my grammar isn't good tonight. I am battling a migraine from this afternoon.

Currently, beach day.

I'm postponing my blogpost till tomorrow. Church was at the beach and now I'm at another beach soaking in the rays.

New haircut! 

Mom and I at a family get together. 

I'm currently sitting on the couch. I have worked 14 days in a row. My boss gave me the day off tomorrow, Thursday, and next Monday! I am just worn out from all the working. Panera isn't a hard job, but when you have to be on your feet the entire time it's just physically demanding/exhausting. 

I'm currently finalizing all my plans for my first "senior" year at school. I have made the decision to move back on campus, but I need to tell the aunt I lived with that I will not be living with her. It's emotionally stressful. I just need to dedicate as much time as possible as the class I am re-doing this semester is vital to continuing at school. 

I'm currently working on my plans for my day off tomorrow. I thought I would sleep in, but my mom has asked me to mow the lawn, do dishes, and clean the shower. I want to go to Ikea with Chris tomorrow too. That store is just awesome. 3 stories of Swedish home products, Swedish food, and Swedish fish... I'm there. 

I'm currently relaxing as much as possible because once school starts there is no stopping. Therefore, I'm gonna go lay on the couch watching whatever is on tv on Sunday nights. (It's very limited as I don't have cable.) 

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

I am currently relaxing and reading a boom. I had an ice cream cone for dinner and salad for breakfast at work. I am trying to survive right now as I am working 11 days in a row. I'm hoping to have a real post up next Sunday. Hope you all had a good weekend! I'm probably gonna fall asleep before 8pm let's be real. 

This week is/was the Lake County Fair! It was super good, but very expensive. We rode a couple rides. Ate junk food like corn, ice cream, and my fave: a deep fried Milky Way! Bella Cain (a local touring band) played for a couple hours. We had black cherry Mike's and danced the night away. (By we: myself and mom). It was a ton of fun! 

Have a good week!
