The Truth

I have failed my resolution to become better at blogging here, and I apologize for this. My humblest apologies for all whom I've led on to believe that I will be a totally awesome blogger for this site.

The fact of the matter is that I am currently focused on new site for more "professional" (or so I'd hope) writing -- a project that will hopefully teach me to write on a regular basis (I've already failed and must write one post per day for the next three days since I've been so busy this week) and to showcase my skills (or something as pretentious as that).

Furthermore, my friends and I have created a new project which is in the process of maturation. However, we plan to keep it a secret until we're all good and ready, so please be patient with me if I fall off the face of the planet. With any luck, we will have our project up and running by the end of the summer! I've been busy planning for this and letting it keep me from falling asleep (first grad schools, and now this! What to do?).

In the meantime, I'll leave you with today's to-do list!

1. Blog
2. Have lunch with the sister
   
3. Laundry?
4. Sketches
5. Make iced (strawberry green) tea
6. Prepare for sleepover at my friend's
   
7. Check for Borders package
   

GAH (June 6, 2011)

So it's been a while since my last post. But I swear I'm trying to get better at this.

In recent news, I've been thinking hard about grad schools and trying to figure out my plans to get in. This plan mainly comprises poison-dipped shuriken which I shall use to prevent all other applicants in my year from sending in their submissions. This means that I will not only be the only student applying for graduate studies in my year (and that all universities shall then clamor over me with delicious offers) but also that I am guaranteed the spot of valedictorian (if they have that or something similar for graduate schools).
This plan seems foolproof, yes?

Actually... all joking aside, I've been thinking a lot about the things I need to do. I've made a list of things I should consider/accomplish:

• Research
• Publish
• Write articles for magazines/newspapers
• Blog
• Research graduate schools
• Volunteer
  

As you can see, I'm thinking mainly of things for experience and for my résumé. I've been keeping really busy with these endeavors. Hopefully, all will work out well. In any case, I think I should take things one step at a time and stop over-thinking (this is my goal of the week, actually).

I'm very excited for tomorrow; my friend is roadtripping and will stay for the night. The sad parts of this story are that she'll arrive pretty late and leave rather early the next day and that I have work tomorrow evening. However, 'twould be nice to see her for even a little bit since I've not seen her in about a year and a half. It's nice to think that we're still good even though we've not seen each other in that long. I miss her and will hopefully be baking delicious cookies for her arrival. These cookies should also find their way to my friend, whose birthday is on Wednesday (the other two friends who share this birthday are out of town, so I guess I'll just have to eat their share, haha).

That's pretty much it for now. :]
Peace

P. S. Here's the link to TheDailyCanvas, my new blog. I will probably be using it as my main blog from now on. However, it's more "professional," so this blog may get an update once in a while, but posts will be more informal.

Been a While... (5/22)

Things have, as always, been busy, which explains my 13-month hiatus from blogging (and the many-month hiatus preceding that). Of course, I have no one to blame but myself for being lazy and negligent -- this is a true story.
However, I'm trying to start over now that it's the summer! Therefore, I will not do a full recap of everything that has happened to me since my last post (I am neither too dramatic to say that a lot has happened since then nor too dishonest to lie that nothing has really occurred) but will provide some highlights or momentous incidents.

I met some great friends within the past year and have been really enjoying my time with them. An unfortunate amount of drama also happened, which was a bit of a bummer. Still, I love my friends and will accept them, drama and all.
Summer's here! I'm waiting to hear back from an internship which has been trying to set up an interview with me for two weeks (before the person got sick... So now I'm waiting).
In the meantime, I'm starting a part-time job tomorrow at a retail store (I'm not allowed to post the name on blogs and such since the company's really serious about not having bad employees who might make a verbal or written boo-boo). Technically, I'm just starting training tomorrow, but it's still exciting since it'll be my first job. Also, I'll be working with my friend, so I'll have a support system. This is exciting, yeah?

Actually, that's pretty much it. Well, clearly more has happened than what I've mentioned. However, I'm going to take this getting-back-into-blogging thing slowly, so please bear with me for now. :]
I'm sure I'll have more to share later.

Ciao

P.S. Lady Gaga's third album drops tomorrow! I'm so excited, GAAAAAAAH.
