Productivity Vibes

Shhhh...

I am sitting at my computer trying very hard to type quietly because my wonderful RA is rounding the ladies of the international floor to a meeting.
Our lights are off.
Our door is locked.
We're not here.
And I am CLEARLY not being productive.

HOWEVER...

It has been WAY too long since I have written... I have been busier than snot. You know those snot workers, always busy up in there, making snot. (?)

Things I SHOULD be doing:
Studying for my Management test
Working on sketches and prototypes for art
Practicing voice
Getting ahead on classwork
Filling out job and internship applications
...

SO TO ALL OF YOU "BEING PRODUCTIVE"
I am sending PRODUCTIVITY VIBES - - -

Riddle Me This and other weird sayings...

HAPPY NEW YEAR (almost)

How does it feel to know that today is the last day of 2010? You will never be in this year again... unless some genius comes up with a *contraption* that can move individuals through the *time-space continuum.*

Tis the season for SHARING:

I am *thoroughly* bored.

Fortunately for me, I have Vampire Weekend to keep me company. :)

Andddd... in other news. I am really sick of wrapping presents. I think about it way too much. I think about the present and the person in order to select the ideal paper and then make sure that the ribbon and bow perfectly match the paper. Then frequently make my own gift tag. What is my problem????

Today, the professor that is accompanying our class to the Canary Islands sent us an e-mail that suggested we bring *undies* and a change of clothes in a plastic bag in our back-packs. Sure, it makes sense - but he said "UNDIES." HA!

Love and New Year's Best!

In Your Eyes

Ever notice that when you look into someone's eyes... it's like your world stops? That there is a completely sacred and personal moment between you and that individual that no one else is sharing or will share?

I mean - it's really incredible...

If it happens, it's like that other person has let you into their universe; you see things that you've never seen before, or at least see things in a new light. And it fills your body with this nervous energy that either makes you look away really quickly or keep staring. AND if, for whatever reason, you have a number of moments like this with the same person; it's like having a conversation with your eyes... a completely silent, yet totally meaningful conversation - not stereotypical and bland, but full of depth, character, honesty, and beauty.

Having one of those moments (and I don't know that they do happen all that often) is SO rare, but it feels so amazing; that someone trusts you enough - or wants to - that they will give you 30 seconds of life from their perspective. It's a connection of souls; seeing deep into another person's being - and you feel so lucky.

I feel so lucky. Thanks for sharing with me.
Bummed I won't get to see you for a long time now...

Nervous Besmudger

Right now sucks.

Feeling like - I'm the crappiest friend ever...

Apparently I can't juggle things all that well...

I thought I was good at multitasking - maybe I am...

Just not when it comes to people...

Sorry.

To Scoot.

For those times when you have no idea what is going on. Or need to procrastinate. Or just want to go home and see your dog. You write in your blog... that I hope, for your sake, you have.

Last night I studied French with a friend and I learned an incredible amount. For example, the following is a list of vocabulary words and verbs that I need to know for tomorrow's test, followed by their definition.

un écran - to scoot
porter - to scoot
le gilet - to scoot


Apparently it is best, when you are doubting your second language abilities, to respond; to scoot. You are most certainly right if you respond "to scoot."


Last night I stayed up too late. This morning I got up too early. Right now I can't focus on studying because I genuinely do want to go home and see my dog. Who really cares about the "three different types of jealousy" or "Duck's Phases of Relationship Dissolution"? NOT ME, that's who.


So maybe, if I procrastinate till lunch, study for French, b.s. my way through my Coms. final... the world will be SPECTACULAR?


SHOW AND TELL!

To those that know:

"Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."

To those that know me:


The real me. The me that is too stubborn to tell you that I'm hurt or that I care more than I let on. The me that cares more than anything about you and everything in your life. The me that will be there for you no matter what. To those that know that side of me, remember that I struggle too - I'm not as strong as I let on. I may be stubborn, but I'm not made of stone; my heart is just as soft as yours. And what I want more than anything is for you to be just as willing to see the real me, as I have been to see the real you.

Wanna know something?

I love coffee.

Reason 1: it's warm
Reason 2: it smells good
Reason 3: it wakes me up
Reason 4: it reminds me of home (and my mom, who I miss lots right now)
Reason 5: it tastes good
Reason 6: it makes me feel educated and worldly
Reason 7: it makes me excited for the future
  (don't tell me that you've never fantasized about yourself; sitting in your future apartment on a comfy couch in your living room that's just how you want it, reading a good book and drinking out of a big mug filled with coffee)

Sure tea is warm and most of the time smells good - sometimes it smells like wet paper
Hot chocolate is great, but it's sweet - and I can only take so much of that

Coffee. The end.
