♪♫ American Woman (David Lynch Remix) - Muddy Magnolias
The last two weeks have been crazy busy! I'll begin with what happened a couple days after my last blog; I received my collector's edition Blu-ray copy of Wild at Heart in the mail! Its so beautiful! I also received (in a separate order); a faux leather portfolio (for school), plastic sheet covers, and lots of markers for coloring! I've been thinking a lot about getting back into coloring lately. I find it so relaxing!
I got my first credit card recently! I decided that its time to build good credit for myself, so that I can purchase a house in the future. I'm mostly going to be using it to pay off my phone bill every month (then paying off my credit card right away). I am going to be very careful to not use it too often. I don't want any debt! I'm hoping it goes well. Also... they gave me a limit of $2000, which seems like a lot for my first credit card. Most people I know only got $500 for their first one.
Last week was my school's March Break Camp. For anyone who doesn't know; I'm taking child and youth care in college. Our March Break Camp is basically like our exams. Our teacher observes us as we run the entire camp by ourselves. We have to plan activities, purchase supplies, book special guests, etc. Mostly, our teacher wants to see how we work with children. Anyways, it went really well! I found myself feeling really sad at the end of the week when it was over. When I took my camp shirt off after getting home, I took a look at all the signatures from the children and my classmates. I noticed a comment written by a 10 year old girl that I spent a lot of time with and I began to cry. Its just the sweetest thing ever!
Over the weekend, I did a lot of relaxing, but I also got to go out and enjoy myself a bit. I went to the farm market, Wal-mart, the dollar store, and Pizza Hut. I didn't get anything at the farm market, but I purchased over half my groceries at Wal-mart (its super cheap), got a cute sign for my bedroom at the dollar store, and ate garlic fingers at Pizza Hut (plus took home a mini veggie pizza for later). My favorite part of the weekend was eating my veggie pizza and watching That '70s Show in bed.
I heard two big pieces of news in the past week relating to things I'm a fan of. The first one is that Supernatural, my favorite show, is ending. Season 15 is their final season. Part of me is really sad, but I also feel like its time. The show has run out of story lines in my opinion. I will miss it so much and I can't wait to see what Jared and Jensen will do next, but for now, I have one more season to look forward to! I also need to begin re-watching all the seasons sometime soon. Its been a while!
The other piece of news is that Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams (my favorite YouTubers) are now engaged! Shane proposed to Ryland on their three year anniversary. I'm so happy for them! I can't wait to hear more details about it when they release a video. Now I'm just waiting for Jeffree Star and his boyfriend Nathan Schwandt to get engaged! Also, my best friend Kara told me that she is going to buy Jeffree's Blood Sugar eye shadow palette for me as a graduation gift!
Currently, I have a week off from school. Since we had to do a March Break Camp, we were given this week off instead to make up for it. So far, I've been doing homework, watching Netflix, and I made a big pot of spicy vegetarian chili! Tomorrow I have a therapy appointment, then I'm meeting my dad for dinner to give his birthday gift to him. I will also likely go to the book store too. In a couple days, I'm going to visit my boyfriend until Sunday afternoon. When I'm there, I will also be working on my quilt with his mom, doing more homework, and doing some volunteer work for school. I'll also fit some fun activities in there too.
Now I'm gonna go and enjoy the rest of my day. I hope everyone is doing well!

That is such an awesome collectors DVD you got! The cover of it is really pretty also. I love art, myself I have been trying to do more art lately :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really interesting exam for college, it reminds me of when me and my ex-best friend volunteered for the elementary school doing art, the teacher looked like Britney Spears lol. That's so sweet tho, and such a cute note on your shirt.
That sounds so fun, I love the farmer's market, unfortunately, there are no good ones where I live for some reason.
I'm not into supernatural but a lot of my friends are so I heard that a lot of them had been posting about it. It always sucks when a show you love is not continuing. I felt the same when Pretty Little Liars was not renewed even though it wasn't as good anymore and need to end at that point.
Good luck with graduation.
Have fun being off of school, the chili sounds amazing, I need to get some beefy crumbles and makes some because now I want too! lol.

I miss coloring. I used to color all the time at work when I worked in a call center. It was nice and relaxing and a good way to de-stress. I've been using coloring apps on my phone lately but it's just not the same.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first credit card :) Just a few pointers if you want them. It's much better to use the card for whatever (ie. phone bill each month as you said) but instead of paying it off right away (same day or anytime before statement prints) wait until the statement prints and then pay it between the time the statement prints and the due date just be sure to allow a few days before the due date if not transfering from a bank account at the same bank (payment vs. transfer) because otherwise it actually either negatively impacts your credit or doesn't really do anything at all if you pay it too soon. Also, you can request to have it reduced but keep in mind it would mean waiting 6 months and doing another credit check typically to increase it again and there is no guarentees). I used to work in the credit card department at a bank.
I love the note the little girl gave you! How sweet :) Hope you have fun with your dad and he enjoys his birthday!
