Sweetie, it's school, not a club. I can't count how many times I've watched a girl go by with a skirt, high heels, full makeup and hair done. Seriously?! I applaud myself if I'm able to remember socks in the morning. It makes me wonder how early they have to get up in the morning in order to get all of this done before their classes. You're not impressing anyone, so stop trying so hard. I don't even have time to eat breakfast and pack food. And I have half a mind to go to school with pjamas underneath my sweatpants. I live in leggings and yoga pants. Most comfortable articles of clothing ever. I can't even remember the last time I wore real pants. Maybe back in September? Probably. If I'm feeling really adventureous, I'll wear my leather boots ;). I think the majority of the school has completely given up on trying to dress to impress. As long as we make it to our classes on time, what does it matter? Althought I suppose the buisness kids have to dress nicer...
Speaking of dressing for school, I am currently stuck wearing all black for the next 2 and a half weeks. Why? Because I'm stage crew for a Drama production my school is putting on. It's mandatory work, and is worth 25% of my Drama class's final mark. But it's not too bad. For the first act, I stand back stage right and make sure that the actors get their props and hold the curtain for them. It's dark and I'm by myself, but not too bad. For the second act, I'm working the trap. This means that I am under the stage wearing a headset and opening a trap door that leads up to the stage floor. Again, easy work. This happens every day from 5:30pm to 11pm, 6 days a week. Which means that I currently don't have any time to work on my projects or study a lot for classes (I need my textbooks with me but they're too heavy to bring to school). Not that I'm complaining. The people on the crew are super nice and the actors are really friendly too, which makes everything a lot easier when I'm at school for 15 hours. And the play itself is awesome. I wish I could see it with all the effects.
I think the real tragedy here is I don't have time to paint my nails. My poor chipped nail polish.
I am really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, skipping my morning class (fingers crossed we're watchinga movie) and going in late. Hopefully that helps with my sleep deprivation.

Pretentious Princess
I realize how this must seem to everyone. As cliche as it is, I have started to blog. Why? Beause I don't have people to talk to about my day, and it's too cold to go running. Let's pretend I don't have an important Archaeology midterm tomorrow, and that I actually have time to do this.
It's been over 9 weeks so far since I've started University, and there are only 3 weeks remaining. Have we really made it over 2 months? Bravo ladies and gentlemen. As crazy as it sounds, I'm starting to get attatched to the people in my classes. Mainly my 3 hour Geology lab, as I work with 5 guys and they are honestly the funniest and most interesting people to talk to. And I might be falling for one of them, but let's just keep that between us. It's been so different being at this huge campus. Did you know there are over 30,000 students studying at my school? Crazy. Through these past 9 weeks, I've come to realize what I want to do with my life. I am either going to major in Anthropology (studying Gorillas in Guana or diseases) or Archaeology with a focus in Osteology. I will most likely minor in the other. I always thought that when I was younger, I would grow up to be rich and live in a huge house. What kid wouldn't fantasize about that? But now I'm putting my foot down. I am currently on par to get my BA in another 3 years (maybe 4 if I travel abroad, volunteer or do the coop program) and then move out of the rent's house. After that, I would LOVE to be able to work for a couple years in my field and then go to Graduate school to get my Masters! Then perhaps a PhD? Who knows. If I DID get my PhD in Anthropology or Archaeology, I would most likely strive to be a professor and set up a research facility somewhere. I've always had somewhat of an interest in teaching, whether it be at my dance school or helping people in class. I would also love to be able to volunteer. Christmas is coming up, so I'm going to try to find somewhere to help out. Maybe the mustard seed? I need to do my part for the community and it will look good on my resume.
Look at me sounding all grown up. I feel proud of myself for being able to accomplish as much as I currently have, and have my fingers crossed to getting some more scholarships and pay my way through more school. Now let's come back to reality. It's gotten so cold here that I've been unable to do anything outside for more than 5 minutes. Thank god I know all of the indoor routes at school. Snow is the apotheosis of winter. This means that I have had to put running aside for the time being. I tried to go on Sunday, but running in shorts when it's 0 celcius means that after 10 minutes, I am unable to feel my legs. I feel myself getting fatter and fatter as the days go by. Might have to bundle up and go for a run while I still have some sunshine. On a side note, I've managed to spill dark blue nail polish on my leggings and a yellow shirt I happened to be wearing. I thought it would come out in the wash (or with nail polish remover) but alas I was unsuccessful. I'm too cheap to buy new leggings (or get a haircut for that matter) but let's hope that 'santa' will get the memo.
I leave you with these thoughts, and a new song that I've discovered: Mother Sea by Bat for Lashes.
