I sing about almost everything.- Manchester Orchestra
i decided i don't care much for the word 'should.'
and that i'm not blogging as much as i need to be.
but, there are several exciting updates, and i know for a fact
that a big reason i didn't blog last sunday was due to my lack of news.
update #1: in less than 96 hours, i'll be here: philadelphia. i'm going to visit Nabil and i honestly couldn't be more excited. i love cities and old campuses, so hanging out in philadelphia will be so neat, especially with him.
update #2: in less than 72 hours, i'll get to see dad! he has work in salt lake city, a coworker in golden, and me in fort collins. not only will i get to see him, which will be great since he didn't fly out to colorado with us when i moved out, but he's also going to take me to the airport, because we'll both be flying out the same morning, which is so much better than having to take a boring old shuttle. plus this means i miss school thursday and friday. double win.
update #3: in less than 144 hours, i'll be here: new york city. only a two hour bus ride from philadelphia, it's probably, hands down, one of my favorite places. Nabil has never been before, either, which means I get to introduce him to the magic of the city that never sleeps. we were able to get crazy cheap bus tickets too, so it won't be too bad on our college student budgets. i for sure want to visit times square and central park. even though i've been to new york city two other times, we have somehow managed to never make it to the famed park. so hopefully we'll get time to visit there, times square and wherever else we may end up. i'm going to try really hard to not make this a spending money kind of trip because, number one, i don't have a lot to spend and number two, i'm not flying to the east coast to spend my time in stores with nabil, but rather take everything in, because while fort collins and denver are certainly large cities, they pale in comparison to nyc. i'm really stoaked.
update #4: since i'm a nice person, i decided to buy myself some new snowboarding gear for my birthday, which just so happens to be tomorrow. i ended up scoring a burton winter jacket,
snowpants that look like jeans, a sweater, a hat, and a thermal shirt and pants for under $130. how's that for bargain shopping? since i know mom will ask for pictures anyway, i just beat her to the punch. so bam, pictures! i didn't take one of my snowpants because i had already put them away where i store things and it wasn't worth my hassle. but, i love the coat and the crazy thermal pants are super comfortable!
update #5: i think i'm beginning to develop martha stewart syndrome. i have always enjoyed crafting, making things, being creative, or just messing around, but in the last 48 hours, i've painted an alligator, decoupaged a frame, decoupaged a notebook, and am planning on making some killer stationary/cards. wooo. here are pictures, because i like pictures. and i've got this neat bracelet, two actually, that's just a friendship bracelet with neat designs and whatnot. it's made out of several different colors and is pretty intricate, and i've met a few people who know how to make them, so hopefully i'll be making bracelets soon too! haha, crafting was honestly all i did on friday night, besides go to michael's to buy craft supplies. best friday night i've had in a while.
update #6: i believe i am out of updates. classes are going alright, nothing too crazy, and snow should be here before i know it. i'm crazy excited, but nervous too because i haven't been out on the snow in a pretty long time. but things are going good and i'm in great spirits because of my quickly approaching adventure. also, the mountain's trees don't change colors during the fall. the leaves just tease us and get yellow tips and then the leaves fall to the ground, so an east coast visit will be so great to see what a real fall looks like, once again. i wont be posting next sunday, as i'll be gone, but hopefully i'll be able to put pictures up for you from new york city and philadelphia later that week.
