Slacker!

So, its official, I am a slacker. I have two weeks left in this term for school and its driving me cray cray! Interior design is a lot harder than one might think. Right now I'm playing catch up with my restaurant project which we have to design from floor to ceiling by the means of hand drafting. I actually don't mind the hand drafting so much, its the space planning! Space planning is definitely not my strong suit but I guess the more I practice the better I'll get. My restaurant style is pretty cool though, its based of of British Colonial South Africa (or upscale safari as I like to call it).

In other news, it's almost my birthday! I'm getting super excited to spend the evening having dinner with some close friends. I prefer nice and quiet birthdays and even though I'm only turning 23 I feel like I have outgrown the club scene (although I was never THAT in to it to begin with :P) Other than that my life is pretty boring. Oh! I made a "green" smoothie this morning and it wasn't horrible! Although, I think I may have to tweak how much water I use in it...

I best be off to do some homework! The next post will be MUCH better, I promise!

Pre Valentine's Day


       So, I'm sitting here searching through blogs, YouTube  etc and the main theme is Valentine's Day. I have never been fond of Valentine's day. Maybe its because I haven't ever had a great one or possibly it has to do with my general dislike of how materialistic holidays have become, not to mention I'm not exactly a huge fan of gifts (call me crazy). But this year, for some reason, feels different to me.
      I think my heart softens as I get older. As the days tick on by I am waiting for time to bring that special person to me. This year Valentine's day makes me hopeful. I'm enjoying seeing all the couples walking around and happily holding hands because it makes me think "One day I will have that". I think that the one thing we forget during our busy lives is that loving and caring about another is worth it. We need to remember that love  is not a one day thing, it is a way of life. When you carry around anger and resentment it only multiplies. I guess what I'm saying is to love with all your heart, even if it puts you at the risk of being hurt. When you find love, it will make all the trials worth it.
     Anyway, I will leave you with some lovey dovey pictures (I do not own any of these, they're just things I have found over the years) and a few songs! The songs are older but still great :)

xoxo,
