Alive!

It's okay I'm alive :D

I started a new job doing something that I graduated to do. I like it but there definately is a learning curve.

HOnestly, the older I get the less I realize I know.... Life is an endless food chain. Your at the bottom, you rise to the top... you go back to the bottom..

Currently my life is good. I've been thinking alot about why I do things. Why I want to be a certain way and be viewed a certain way. Sometimes I realize I do things just because I'm told not to....

What have you recently realized?

Sense? Cents...

Nothing makes sense and the world revolves around cents....

Growing up is good...

Figuring out what to do with your life, as far as a career is concerned, is horribly stressful.

I just want to get a job I'll love and be able to make the cents I need.....

I want to start a video blog... but I'm trying to think of a good name...

SOS

URGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

talk talk

I've been applying for jobs and internships. Usually I stay up late hanging out with friends and doing fun activities but today.... (well tonight... or tomorrow since it's 2:00 am)

I had to be a grownup and apply for a few more jobs. Side thought: I have to admit I was highly impressed with the "Open Think Group" and their facebook response rate....

I love how advertising is so prevelant!!!

While I've been working on applying for jobs I've been listening to the Cosby show in the background. The first few episodes had a few media references...

And now this episode is revolving around an Ad company...

OOOOOooohhh I can't wait to get a job in the AD WORLD! :D

Play Catch Up

Well you haven't heard from me...

Recently I've been trying to figure out being a grownup. Thus far, I've been failing miserably.

What does is mean to know exactly what you want and need and should do? And how do you go about obtaining it?

Yeah I'm just ignoring the problem currently.

Other than that I'm good. Currently I'm working a job for a bit just so I can bring in a little bit of income. I've been applying for real jobs online. Let's just say it's far easier to sell yourself for a job in person.

I AM ZIM

I have always enjoyed cartoons....

I was introduced to this one a few months ago....



Invader Zim is brilliant and witty! I highly recommend it....

Now I have watched all episodes....

Alas!

I really really adore the show and I want a T-shirt sooooooooooooo bad! Ohhhhhh!!!!!!

I want one with Zim on it....!!!! I also want the show to come out with a second season!

Disclose....

I haven't blogged in FOREVER. Primarily because I've been thinking perhaps I shouldn't disclose so much on the WWW. Oh well, I'll share anyway ;P. So here are a few snapshots.....

Life
I'm a plannner. I like things mapped out... I like to have a tenitive mind set of what it going to happen. (Yes, yes I've told you this all before)

I had decided I was headed to SLC, now that plan is changing..... WHY???? I honestly have NO idea.

No... idea..... Okay okay... some idea. ;D

Thus far this is the plan:

Stay in Cedar for the summer... and then... then I have no clue. (Most likely SLC) However, why am I suppose to stay in Cedar for the summer...? -SHRUG-

What ever I do, it is going to be an excellent adventure. You know why? Because I've decided that is how it is going to be! :D

p.s.
I got a hair cut and my bangs are way too short. Such a shame hair shrinks (transfer from wet to dry. All the girls should know what I'm talking about)....

Boys
Hmm... what to say

Everyone from my high school I believe has been married or is married except for three of us... CRAZY. However I am from a small town, so I need to take that into account. It's not like a want to get married right now. It's just wierd getting all the announcements and hearing about second and third babies.... CRAZY!

Dating has been going swell. I have been hanging out with someone in particular, who is really sweet, so that's been nice. Although, I don't want a relationship right now. So the plan this summer is to just date a lot and have tons of fun.

Jobs
I'm on the look for a career. Shesh... so much more difficult than a job.

I've been applying and starting to work on my professional "stuff". I have a brilliant idea that I've wanted to do FOREVER so I'm going to start doing that. However, it will require me to save up for a cheap video recorder. But I will prevail!

Stress
OOHHH man... stress. Stress is crazy. This last school year I didn't deal with things well but I'm getting a grip on everything.

The truth is, as we get older, stress is just different... (and sometimes bigger). Luckily I'm finally figuring out how to handle it a bit better. ...I think.... :P Ha HA...

Music
I'm a perfectionist so I've found it hard to finish any of my songs...... I get frustrated that I still haven't progressed dramatically with my guitar skills. I guess you actually have to work on becoming better huh? ;P

The goal this summer is to finish two... and so I'll post them after they are completed. :D

Modern Da Vinci

Last night I was working on part of my final and I created a master piece. So around twelve thiry at night I was being quite loud and happy where most people refer to as the "Nerd Lab".

I'm sure those stressed out were quite irritated at me... ba haaa... Sorry, I do appologize if any one was offended by my outbursts.

I'm the kind of individual who enjoys a good pat on the back. So let's just say I've asked several people to look at it.. that way I could recieve satisfactory "pats on the back". Yes, I'm aware I'm weak.

Today I don't feel like accomplishing much... I think I might take a short nap...

Sigh*

How could I be so productive yesterday and then today not care about anything.... Guess that's the curse of senioritis....

I also fear the closer I reach finishing everything, the more it will sink in that life will change as I know it..... I don't think I'm quite ready for it.

Just wondering

It's slowly dawning on me... I'm growing up. I'm entering the "real" world.

School has been my life for the past 16 years.... How I'm I suppose to figure everything out...?

...just wondering.

SWEET!

So the dreaded capstone is finally done!!! Woot! Well... at least my paper in finished. Now I just have to present my work and I'll be done.

Sweet!

I've been looking forward to graduating but now I'm starting to freak out. What am I going to do now that I'm basically "Grown Up"?

... Sick!!

I'm starting to feel nauseous.

PINK

(Let's hope for this poor child's sake this dye is temporary... or photoshopped [which is more likely])



I've been debating whether to dye my hair pink. If I do, I'll merely have a few streaks here and there.....

I had decided prior if I wasn't chosen to speak at graduation I would HAVE to do it. So... sad day I didn't get it. :(

So here is my internal debate:

1)I told myself I would do it as a form of rebellion if they didn't pick me. Ergo: Now, I feel kind of obligated to.

2) Do I want to present my capstone paper with pink in my hair... yeah I'm aware I'm a nerd. So this statement rises the issue of NOT getting it done, or getting it done AFTER.

3) Do I really want to graduate with pink hair? I could get it done and then fixed normal (but that is just expensive and ridiculous)... or I could use temporary dye....

4) Do I really want pink in my hair? YES... and NO...

5) Since I don't have a job right after I graduate it wouldn't be very problematic to put pink in my hair for a bit. However what about when I go apply for jobs?

When I say I'm going to do something, I do it. So due to obligation I feel it necessary.

So perhaps I'll just get temporary. However I have light hair... what if it won't come out? Then I'll have to pay to get it fixed again... (and again the issue of "wasting money").

"Go BIG or go home"... right? And so if I do it... how much do I actually put in?

SIGH!!!


On a second note: Someone find me this outfit...

Three Little Birds

Three little birds sat on my window and they told me I don't need to worry.... Yesterday.... I smiled because.... I dressed up for a presentation that I had to give in my first class. I think I looked pretty fabulous and then I started getting a cold sore. Sick! (I'm sooooo irriated! I try not to be vain but I really hate coldsores... okay... and pimples... and... sigh... But everyone does.... Right?) Anyway so I went to the grocery store feeling kind of lame and wallowing in self pitty. I had this mass of white goop smothering my lip in hopes to destroyed the stupid thing (which I still have). As I passed a random man... He exclaimed "Dang!" (however that wasn't the exact verbage he used) and then included a little wistle. The little girl next to him then exclaimed "Uncle!!!" Do you like when guys/girls cat call??? I know it's silly but it always makes me feel better... like someone at least notices me... I was all ready looking down and away but I could hear him explaining something to the little girl.... What fools these mortals be... Today... I smiled because... Today: 1) My cold sores is slowly but surely going away! Huza!!! 2) I'm feeling better about my capstone paper... 3) I cleaned my room yesterday and vacumed. My need for orientation is becoming fullfilled. 4) I recieved plenty of sleep and then took a nap.... I don't know why I've been so tired as of recently... oh yeah I remember why. 5) I've at least established where I'm going after I graduate for the first little bit... (even though I have no clue what I'm actually going to do....) 6) I had a good study group.... 7) I located all of my notes for my comprehensive test.... 8) It was warmer today.... 9) I bought some icecream.... 10) I have a new blog follower.... :D P.S. Why isn't bloggers formatting working?

I NEED YOU!!! Please!!!

I'm doing this for my comm theory class so if you want to participate feel free ;D....

Instructions:
If you do this I will need you to watch the entire commercial list.

Format:
The whole process will take you roughly ten min.
At the bottom of the blog you can copy the format of the survey.
or you can grab it from: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&note_id=10150201052466882

Step One:
Please answer the following questions:
I) Are you male or female?
II) How old are you?

Step Two:
Next, answer the following questions for each commercial:

a) In the advertisement would you classify the female characterized in the main role as extra small, small, average, large or extra large?

b) If there was more than one female in the ad which size would you say the majority of the models were extra small, small, average, large or extra large?

Example: Your survey should look something like this...

I)Female
II) 21


1a)skinny
1b)not applicable... (or what ever you see it as)

2a)average...
2b)not applicable

(continued until question "18")

Aa)skinny
Ab)n/a

Ba)average...
Bb)average
(continued until "R")



So now you're thinking? Really Liz do I need to? Well... you don't need to... but I'll LOVE you forever!

So how do you go about doing this? You're going to email me your responses or post it as a comment.

If you email it to: overreacting.com@gmail.com

I suggest opening up a word document... inserting the info... and then just coping and pasting it.... I ALSO suggest saving it in case something DREADFUL happens. If you are going to email your answers... you can either paste it in the email or you can make an attachment.

Brilliant!

Thanks for your participation!!!! And good luck!

Go Ahead

Go ahead I Deee-Double-Dog DARE you!

Yesterday was a friends Birthday so I went over and gave him Nutella. Have you ever tasted the stuff it's pretty amazing....

What can I say do I know people or what....

I also am a brilliant actress... booYA

Tender Mercies

When I feel bad this song comes on.... seriously Heavenly Father loves me.....



So just know when you hear it... it's probably for me :P

And maybe for you... :P

Relate

I'm sure you all can relate....

Is anyone else really exhausted???

To do anything does it seem you have to waste time before and then after you do something. (ie... facebook, naps...) Now I'm using a reward system that benefits when I even attempt to do homework... ha ha

Is it just me or is there something you have to do but don't want to?

Does the dating world suck or what?

Why does everyone seem to get married after only a month or two of dating?

Flaw

Clearly my mapped out plan has a few major flaws.

I'll admit I'm headstrong. I want things to go a certain way. Ergo my current train thought is as follows: "Why the heck aren't things going the way I want them to????"

Just curious?!

Because apparently everything I want is wrong and I'm not suppose to have it....

I'm possitive the whole world isn't against me. I"m certain I'm loved. At the moment I'm being a bit radical and dramatic...... BUT COME ON!!! I was quite certain I was right....

What was the last thing you were frustrated at and it turned out to be in your best interest? Or are you still waiting for the silver lining like me?

Do YOU

"Do you just walk up to a rainbow or sunset and say hello?"

(Twenty points if you can figure out where that line is from....)

SPECIAL OFFER: CHAPTER 8 AD STRATEGIES

Commercial spot featuring Adam Riback and Liz Fischer on Friday March 11 is offering YOU a free prize!

During the Ad commercial when the song “Outta Your Mind” by LmFAO plays, get up and dance and win a prize.

This exclusive offer ends today so get up out of your chair and shake your tail feather!

A larger prize will be given to an individual who runs to the front of the classroom and shouts out “This campaign will run March 21!” at the end of the commercial spot!

Networking

This is what social networking has done to us....

This is what we consider and view as entertainment:

Someone posts this:



Which leads to this:


Baaaaha haa! I think it's funny... ;D

I just wonder why she had to pick the creepiest mask ever?

Note: Just so you know I found this while I was doing my homework... I am being productive... well mostly anyway :P.

Demand Compliments

I really like critiques but when people give negative criticism I like them to give at least one positive critique....

EX: You really suck but your shirt is nice today....

You see... slightly positive thoughts and words of affirmation add a little cushion to the blow.

I'm not saying you should say I'm amazing when I suck but isn't every teacher, professor and individual for that matter told to say something nice when they say something negative??

I was always taught the following concept:

Have individuals forgotten this basic theory?

What do you think do people deserve a portion of positive feedback if they receive negative criticism?

When relating to professors: Do you have that professor who always expects more from you and never gives positive reinforcement? Does it help push you or eventually do you give up because you feel the expectations are too high?

P.S.
NEVER GIVE UP!

P.p.s
How many of you believe guys should dye their hair bleach blonde?

Perspective With Pimples

There are those individuals we all look up to who we think their lives must be perfect... we believe they have "everything going for them".

The truth is, most likely those individuals are only putting up a facade. Most likely they are just as stressed out as us...

Those individuals we idolize, who we think are "perfect"...

-have pimples like we do
-they occasionally have crushes on individuals who don't like them (or know they exist)
-they break down and cry
-they look up to other people and think someone else has it "all figured out" (maybe they look up to you)
-they procrastinate
-they have bad hair days
-they don't get perfect grades/scores
-their family lives/relationships probably aren't as easy or simple as they look
-things don't come as easily to them as it seems (at least not for everything)
-Their perfect outfit probably took a few attempts

So to those of you who I lionize... I hope things are running smoothly for you! :D

p.s.
Thanks Kelly for reading my paper!

Singing Out Loud and Getting Caught

Currently I live with three girls who are always doing stuff together.... They are kind of are inseparable.

Yesterday I started to sing out loud in my apartment and when i say loud I mean quite loud....

I had been in a rather frustrated mood so I decided to sing... and relieve some stress. I truly enjoy me some vocalics therapy. :P

...turns out my roommates had been sleeping and two of them came out rather grumpy.... (They had been having a slumber party of sorts in one of the girls rooms....)

OOOoops...

What did you do that was embarrassing today or yesterday?

Compliment

I love compliments....

Today I was asked to sing this song at someone's wedding....



So I'm going to start working on it and see how I feel about it.

WIDE EYED

The worst thing about being sick is when you sleep all day long and then you wake up really late at night (or early in morning which ever perspective you prefer) and can't fall back to sleep.

Perhaps your a little loopy from medication....

At this point your brain really isn't functioning so it's not likely you'll accomplish anything really worth while....

so you sit...
you TRY to sleep...
and you watch tv....

Sigh* It wouldn't be so bad if you had someone to hang out with... but in fear of spreading your potential "cooties" you stay clear of everyone.

So trapped in your bedroom you start to get ansy. The next day you wake up feeling, needless to say, much better. So you go crazy and stay out late....

The problem then lies in the issue that now your back to square one. Alas! Your body hasn't recovered so it's decided to crash again and you miss the game... you miss hangingout with people... you miss going to the library because you sleep untill 5:00 pm....

Simple words of advice:

Dear Self,
When you're a sicky just deal with it, or it lasts longer....

And for pitty sakes take the stupid cough liquid cough medicine even if you hate it and it makes you gag....

But... I'M BORED!!!!

Love,
YOU

The Morning With Out Make-UP

For those of you who know me... I'm addicted to make-up. Yes, addicted. It's one of my compulsions that I obsess about.

Yesterday I was a sicky and slept ALL day. I woke up about 1:00 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Sadly, I stayed awake till about six in the morning and when my alarm went off this morning I happily turned it off and went back to sleep.

At 9:10 I woke up at a start realizing... I was, in fact, late for class. I decided to throw on some clothes and head out the door.

Promptly doing so, I ran to my car and prayed for an open spot. Luckily Heavenly Father loves me so there was several areas to park. Jumping out of my car, I loudly clomped through the lot in my black and white galoshes to my destination.

Upon arriving at my 9:00 class roughly 17 min late I hung my head and took my rightful spot in the back of the classroom. When it came time to go to my second class my guts failed me and I retreated to the Communications department office and chit-chatted with the professors.

Currently, I'm sticking around in some lab just to prove to myself I CAN be without my makeup. However the truth is no one is in the lab except for one boy....

Alas... I need to purge myself of my addictions!

Make-up... and chocolate... Ha ha

Today

Today:

1) I discovered I kicked some wonderful gluteus maximus, medius and minimus on my test in Mass Comm Theory. Heck yes, I'm fantastic!

• I feel like bragging... so guess what... TOP SCORE
• I know you're all lionizing me right now :P (Don't worry it's just my word of the day and I hadn't use it yet. I'm really not that cocky... okay maybe I am ;P )

2) I finished my presentation for Ad Strategies...

• Boo Yah!
• I also realized I think I would quite like to teach college students. Oh no... ha ha
  

3) Sadly I feel SICK... BOOOOO!!!! Why do I always seem to get sick, ESPECIALLY when I'm under stress?

• What's that you say?
  
• Oh they go hand in hand? Alas... such an unfortunate predicament.... I hate germs....
• Booo... I need some orange juice and someone to hold me...
• It's okay though, class is done and I'm going to head home to take a nap. Hopefully I'll feel better for tomorrow.
  

Does some one have a manual?

Speaking of manuals does someone have one I could borrow?

Manual....

1) Man-u-al

2) Man, You all

3) Man, you all suck!

4) Men, you all suck! Hhhmmm?

Strange how my mind works sometimes...

Someone Kissed My Hand

So today in the midst of my freaking out and trying to get a handle on all I "HAVE" to do... I was reminded of some of the fantastic things in life:

1) I was exiting out of one building when a group of individuals with mental challenges and disabilities started entering. One of the men called out to me and we talked briefly. He was sweet and kissed my hand. I'll admit I was sad when I had to wash my hands today.

2) At WalMart a woman stopped me to tell me I looked beautiful. I love individuals who aren't afraid to talk to people and especially people who give compliments. (Tomorrow, give someone a compliment)


3) I got a steamer at Cravings! MMMmm.... I go at least once a week ;D. (If your in Cedar go! It's located near Golden Spoon and Ninja)

4) I played my guitar....

5) Planned and held a successful study group.

In other news.... (*deep resonating voice*)

This weekend I should be going home! Hooray! I really could use a break. Sadly, I still will have a lot to accomplish over the weekend but Hallelujah for the three day weekend. Monday will be a good day to catch up on things...

If I don't get to go home because of the weather... someone will definitely have to give me a hug because I will be deeply depressed.

*Dramatic Groan*

...Back to work

"Ohh I really hate you right now "

So... I love this version and the aesthetics of the women in the leopard clothing is magical...



"Ooh I really hate you right now woman."

Happy Days:

It's Friday....

I'll still be doing a ton of homework but hey, it's FRIDAY!

So Brian Regan is coming to SUU but... it's going to be fairly expensive... But he is hilarious! I love his expressions!

The following clip is one of my favorites. It's just an audio but trust me, it will make you die laughing!




In this clip pay attention to his expression at segment 2:38.



If you wear glasses you have to watch this one... (just start at 1:25)


Speaking of comedians if anyone can locate a clip called "And the bear licked the honey" I really want it.... I think it's done by Brian Regan... but I'm not sure.

Oh yeah and subscribe for a $40 giveaway to a Cedar local bookstore. Yes... $40 need I say more?

Say It With Me "N-O"

It's nice to be able to say no.... "N-O!" Even if you don't or can't say it directly it's wonderful....

Try saying it directly with me...




I might not be say it frequently but it's nice to know I can. My mother passed on the innate ability to struggle with the pronounciation... so I've learned to get around it.

Try some of the following if you struggle:


-I wish I could...



-Unfortunately...



-Oh that sounds wonderful but I'm afraid...




So....

Dear Boy,
NO! NOT ANYMORE!

Dear Controling Man,
NOOOOOOO.... Soooo sooo sorry.... *Cough: not really*

Dear Girl,
N-O-P-E

Dear "Specific" Girls,
NNNNNOOOOOOO!


OH AND JUST FOR KICKS AND GIGGLES.....

YES!!

IGNITE

For all of you who are worried about Valentines... DON'T sweat it....



It's just another day...

This semester is going to be ridiculous! I don't know about any of you but I've been feeling overwhelmed.

Majorly overwhelmed....

I've always been one to make lists. I chart things by what I need to do. Recently I've been charting by the hour....

Silent

I know it's not my place so I'm just going to send this out into cyberspace.

1) You should be a little more wise.... Just thought I'd mention it because it's been driving me nuts....

2) That boy is utterly dense (and I mean intellectually)... I'm no longer attracted to him... sad day....

3) I have too much on my plate so I can't deal with that right now.... SSSHHHHHH!!!

4) You have no idea the effect you have on me.... It's okay because I didn't realize either.

5) Green....

Nonsense Color

I feel... ____ _____.... inwardly I want to ____ ___ _____ __ _____.

_____ __ ... some times need __ __ _____.... It's for ____ ___ ____. Is it ____ to want _________? ___ ____ _____ ______....

Boys are so _____. It's best to not ____ ___ _________ them .

Over all I'm content.... I'm finding myself and figuring out what NEEDS to be done. I can't believe I'm going to be entering the real world!?!

..............I'm Happy!

and I've got several... CRUSHES....

"So For Now"

And I Extend to YOU

Dear World,
Thanks for being so grand today. I appreciate your warmth and the extra love you given me. World, I accept your big hug and extend to you a hug and a kiss.

Thank you for your wonderful trees which I enjoy climbing in, especially with boys. I don't know why, but it makes it more fun.

Thank you for the sunshine, it has lifted my spirits as well as my body temperature.

Thank you for the crunchy leaves.... There is nothing quite like squishing a leaf when your annoyed or happy.

Thank you for the stars and especially Cassiopeia since she's my favorite.

Thank you for people. I know sometimes I get annoyed with some of the general population in my vicinity, but everyone is pretty fabulous aren't they? Yup...

However, I have a few favors to ask. That is, if you can comply...

Number one.... can you please make that boy stop staring at me in one of my classes. It's making me feel uncomfortable.

Number two... can winter be short this year and it just rain alot?

Number three... I don't know if you have any connection to health issues and such but if I could get completely healthy and stay healthy, I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!

Thanks again for the sunshine!

Love,
Liz

Mmm... Music!

Looks like I've found my next song to be obsessed with:

Comment The Fifth

I'm being extra needy today. So I'm going to ask my readers a favor. If you read this post... will you post something? :D

I recently read (Recently as in read it all in one day... aka: yesterday) "Hunger Games". Can you say fantabulous?!

I'm so thrilled to find another series I love. However, there are only three books. Alas, I'm sure I"ll be done with them by the end of next week. I'm open to any wonderful suggestions any of you might have.

Sadly, I have to wait untill Monday before I can borrow the second book. :(

I ADORE fantasy and fiction and I love the dark side of the first book(read them and you'll understand). I hope the author doesn't change the feel of the other books.

At the end of "Hunger Games" (don't worry I won't spoil it), there is a particular disturbing thought about these creatures with human eyes.... I know confusing, but I'm being vague for your sake. Any how when I was getting ready this morning I kept imagining a creature going to attack me. Of course it was the kind with human eyes so I kept "visualizing" it was this specific individual.... I don't even know the color of there eyes....

Anyhow...
I was freaking out in the shower.
I was freaking out blow drying my hair.
I was just freaking out....

My imagination really gets the better of me sometimes.... And I even try to change my thought process and say "Bbla bla really isn't happening... bla bla bla." However it takes me a long time to convice myself and sometimes it doesn't work so well.

In lieu of thinking of a good transition... -Transition-

I'm sitting in the library at the moment and I have to admit, I'm literally cringing from all the sick people around me. Sickies!!! They're surrounding me! Coughing, sneezing and sniffing....

Ack!

It's closing in.....

.....RUN

Green Tights

In case you were wondering... school has started again. Once again it's back to the drawing board.



I'm really depressed about the idea of being done with school. I'm goin to have to grow up.... Man-O-Man!

Has anyone located Never Never Land? I'd also be happy to be directed to Peter Pan. ;P

JUICY

I had decided before I started blogging that I would try to keep the drama out of my writing as well as the occasional sad thoughts.....

Ha ha....

Guess I am a drama diva.... (but I all ready knew that...)

Oh well.... deal with it, because I'm looking forward to a juicy 2011 LAST SEMESTER OF SCHOOL ... possibly the LAST SEMESTER OF SCHOOL FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE... okay okay I'm not sure yet. However, it is my last semester of my Bachelors degree. :D

So here's what I'm excited for during my last semester:

1)Knowing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so ready for something bigger! World, here I come!

2)Being President for CCG... ah it will run much more smoothly this year....

3)Boys... (Hopefully some possibly free food will come into account).

4)Being healthy. I'm taking on the tactic (once again) that, "I refuse to get sick!!"

5)My eight thirty classes.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT'S A LAUGH... I was just checking to see if you were paying attention.... ;P

I enjoy fresh starts and new beginnings. To be honest this last semester I was living in a shadow but I think I've started lifting out....

Sometimes I think the only way to learn a lesson, get over an issue or all of the above is to hibernate in a cave.

So here is to new beginnings. Here's to today! :D



P.s.
The light house is running again! Hooray!
