so I was going to take a nap...everything was set perfect...lights off..acid rock playing and my eyelids were feeling extremely heavy....I was finally going to sleep after about 48 hours of being awake...then just as I was about to close my laptop the unthinkable happened---I hit my lip with my bedpost and the little ball that closes my ring came off! OMG no!!!I know, just put it back on right? well the only problem with that is that I never learned to put it on. Every time I wanted to change my piercing, I would just go to Avi and he would change it...I never even saw how he did it...so now I could not sleep because if I did my piercing would come off...but I did not know how to put it back on, so what to do? I attempted to put it back on...it was too difficult..like the ball does not even have holes, just dent-like things on polar ends...i could not do it on my own...i got my tweezers and attempted to do it..but it was unsuccessful..finally I decided that i would temporarily put on the stud while I figured out how to close the ring...so i took out the ring...it was the first time I had ever done so on my own..I freaked out...I thought I was going to rip my lip in half...luckily that did not happen....I took it out and I looked at myself in my huge bright bathroom mirror...me--with a huge hole...it was trippyyyy..since I have been having trouble with my ear piercings and every time I put in new earrings it hurts, i figured that putting in a new piercing would hurt...but I did not even feel it...it was as if just went through a hole--then I realized--IT DID JUST GO THROUGH A HOLE!!!! yeah ...there is more to it but i just tripped out....maybe it's because of my current state...no sleep in like 72 hours---maybe 2 hours combined....and about 8 energy drinks in that span....it is just terrible...i feel sooo bad...like I am damaging my body so much...depriving it from sleep and intoxicating it with disgusting chemicals.....
..but it needs to be done...it's part of college life babyyy..
like NO MATTER WHO you are, you have to admit, there is such a thrill in deadlines and just barely meeting them...I am a deadline type of girl--if you want something done, you give me a strict deadline..and I'll do it...I work more efficiently with a crammed amount of time...
I figure this is good practice for my career in journalism...I want to deal with current events, whether it be fashion or international affairs, and these deadlines will be present. I figure by practicing in college, it will make it easier later on.
I do however need to learn to be better organized and more responsible...
i will do it...
so I finished my two papers due yesterday about 4 hours before they were due...
paper 1: class: Political Science 3--International Relations
question: Should the U.S. leave the United Nations?
--I took the CRAZY IMPOSSIBLE OPTIMISTIC side of NO!
the U.S. needs the UN blah blah blah..basically I came off a tad unamerican [though I am not] and I let emotion and supposition get in the way of an extremely strong paper...I do however make exellent points and I am hoping for a B+
paper 2: class: Textiles and Clothing 7--Style and Culture Studies.
My topics: Intersectionality My example: hipsters!!!
--this paper was great because I needed to explore intersectionality within a subculture and incorporate topics of hegemonic discourse and appropriation, articulation, agency, habitus, etc. The intersectionalities I focused on were of gender, culture, class, race, style. I used the trickle down/up theory and emphasized on our globalization and the capitalistic undertakes that are evident in hipsters...my main example: [extremely obvious] but Sarah Morrison, Mark "the cobrasnake" Hunter, Cory Kennedy, and Steve Aoki
They are the exaggerated mainstream versions, but I figured they would be the easiest in order to make more sense to my TA, who by the way was a professor at Parsons<3.
So I want to got to the beach this summer, but I do not feel confident in a swimsuit...I need to shed the pounds I have gained..
my solution? a black slimming one piece Urban Outfitters statussss...
anywhoo...my roomies and I went out by the pool the other day, it was so nice...
cute huh?
anywayssss so I was thinking about awkward moments or situations..like for example, one stupid night, I drank wayy too much and blacked out...ends up that I made out with my neighbor...I slightly remember, and from what I do..it was nice:P
anywho, it became so awkward after that...I HATE when guys are like that...i wanted to be mature..[as lame as that sounds, cause I should have been more responsible with my drinking habits, but hey, it was the beginning of my freshman year] I wish he weren't that awkward..i wish he would come over and just talk to me, but he is being lame..uhh..
so I signed up for my new classes, and they are going to be amazing:
1) Economics 1B--Principles of Macroeconomics!!!
2) Political Science 2--Intro to Comparative Politics<3
3) Communications 101--communication theories..
4) Arabic--Elementary Arabic
oh yeah, I'm taking arabic..I'm so excited!!
