sigh.

This coming week is the last crazy week for me. yay. Work is as crazy as ever, but now I have the WORST schedule imaginable. kind of upset. actually, REALLY upset.
In other news, I finally started my picture per day chronicles. I decided to post it on my tumblr for ease. check it out! lifebylinley.tumblr.com

Goals for 2/15-2/20

Due to Presidents' Day, I only have three days of classes this week. However, that doesn't mean I have less work! Oodles of reading AND writing due in the next week.


This week's goals:
1. Get a good night's rest every night. aka, in bed by 12 (at the latest) so I can wake up for my 8am!
2. Try not to fall asleep in anime.
3. Do ALL readings for ALL classes. No skimming allowed.
4. Try to actively participate in both anime and history of comm recitations.
5. Continue fisheye experimentation!

2/7-2/13

Goals for this week:
1. Eat breakfast everyday, or at least M-Th.
2. Try not to fall asleep during Anime/World Cultures, even if Asian boy with massive amounts of curly hair (asian's don't have curly hair, but this kid does...) continues to sit in the front row, therefore blocking a quarter to a third of the subtitles (since we watch anime in Japanese).
3. Try to participate in every class at least once.
3b. ok, that was unrealistic. Try to participate in history of comm recitation. 
4. Experiment with new fisheye camera!


Also, this past weekend there was this hugely epic snowstorm on the east coast. Said storm did not hit Manhattan. me is not pleased.

Is it really so wrong that I enjoy painting my nails? no. Do I have a problem? likely

I'm actually obsessed with painting my nails. Everyone knows, or at least can deduce, that my favorite color is pink, so most of my colors are pink, but recently, I've decided to expand my horizons. I just got the uber-popular OPI color Lincoln Park After Dark, and I must say, I'm quite pleased. It's a dark, dark purple which, for some reason, reminds me of the Baroque period. Anyway, I just found this online earlier today: an OPI collection based on....Alice in Wonderland!! I'm so, so, so excited. It's coming out later this month, but I can't find the exact date. 

Absolutely Alice

Mad as a Hatter

[all images college fashion]

A blogger actually made the last color (the sparkly lilac/pink color) which happens to be the one I want the most!! Tragic, I know. Now I'm on the lookout for either a similar color or colors so I too may concoct my own shade! I'll definitely be buying the Mad as a Hatter shade, but I'm still unsure about the Absolutely Alice shade. I like the gold sparks in it, like her blonde locks, but I'm not sure how it'll look in person...or whether it's practical. 

On a side note, one of my unofficial resolutions is to get back into photography. I use a Nikon D-40 and I carried it with me almost everyday during senior year, mostly because I was editor of my school newspaper and I absolutely hated my photographers because they were awful so taking my own [amazing] pictures was the obvious solution. But, this semester, my camera has mostly been sitting on a shelf, collecting dust. I shall change this!!

In other news, my father just announced that it is currently three degrees outside. lovely.
