| Busy busy! |
I've been trucking through the last week or so, working hard on my samples for April's Phat Fiber box (I'm so excited about them! They've come out so nice!!) AND working hard on finishing my swap package! I'm nearly done, just waiting for a few last things to arrive in the mail. Ack, and I need to get my RAOKs out!! I'm putting the final touches on them and then I can send them out.
I've been suffering from squirrel syndrome a lot in the past week. I'll look at something that needs to get done, go over to it and pick it up to work on it, then my eye will catch something else even more urgent that needs to get done, and I go over to that instead, and again and again and again. I end up getting nothing done because I'm fretting over what needs to be done!
More spinning stuff, because I know you guys love it XD:
Yarn-y goodness
Rovng samples! Which I spritzed with some of my DKNY Be Delicious green apple perfume and they smell SO.GOOD. I wish to keep some for myself, but they have to go to Jessie haha!
Must go continue suffering squirrel syndrome!Labels: hsks7, package, photographs, spinning, yarn dying |

| First Day of School :3 |
My orientation starts today for University of Phoenix :) I involuntarily took last semester off when I got some bad personal news. I've changed schools three times now, and I've tried all different types. Kutztown University was a nice town-based school where I lived on campus. Burlington County College was a convenient community college that was right around the corner from my house. And University of Phoneix Axia College is the best yet - school online! Now I don't have to worry about changing my work schedule around and I can go to school where I want, when I want. It's intense work and faster paced than a 15 week semester (9 week course blocks), but I like it because it's only two classes at a time rather than 4-6 at a time.
I've also switched majors with each school I've gone to. At KU I was a Biology major, with dreams of becoming a doctor. Then at BCC I was a Nursing major. And now I'm happily a Web & Graphic Design major. I love it, I'm doing what makes me happy! (Not that science doesn't, but only genetics is my guilty nerdy pleasure)
I've been uploading the 1000+ photos from my Disney trip in January! If I can get a minute to breathe, I'll post a few pictures and a link to the album! I also have to make an album for my ski trip and my Canada trip from last summer!Labels: photographs, school |

That's my owl, Orpheus, my parents gave him to me as a gift. He's very loyal, but if you don't give him a treat he will nip you!
