Nothing interesting happened today. It rained earlier, but it’s sunny out. It’s also about 70 degrees out, which is unusual for winter here. But I’m not complaining. I love it!!The first day of spring is tomorrow. Even though this has been a very mild winter, I’m glad it’s over. I don’t really care for winter. Although, the last week or so has been very warm. Summer like weather warm. If winter could be like this all the time, I would love winter more.
The Hunger Games movie comes to theaters on Friday. I’m really looking forward to it. I have read the books, and can’t wait to see the movie. I might go with a friend or two, depending on how things work out. I don’t mind going to the movies by myself, though. It’s kinda nice, because I don’t have to wait for others to arrive, and be late for the movie.
But it’s nice to be with friends, too. I can hang out with them afterwards, and not be bored. So either way is fine with me. I’m not picky.
Last week on Monday, I got my ears pierced at Claire’s. I can’t believe it’s been a week already. Time went by fast. I have to keep the earrings in, and clean the piercings for six weeks. That’s a long time for me. I kinda want to take the earrings in and put other ones in, but surprisingly, I can’t handle not doing that.
These are the second set of piercings I have. The first set, also ear piercings, I got when I was thirteen. That was thirteen years ago. I’ve been wanting to get my ears pierced again for years. Probably soon after I got the first ones. But things didn’t work out like I wanted to, so I had to wait.
But I was able to get the second piercings now, and I was able to pay for it myself. I am really happy now. I’m debating whether or not I want a third piercing now. Although, I’m pretty happy with the ones I have now, so I won’t be disappointed if I don’t get any more.
Last Tuesday, I saw The Lorax in theaters. That was a really good movie. I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD, so I can buy it. If you haven’t seen it yet, I think you should. You would love it.
Well, that’s all for now. More to come later!

Spring is Finally Here!!!

Finally, spring has arrived. Winter was brutal this year. We got a ton of snow, and it was really cold out. With spring here, we don't have to deal with all that stuff for a while.
Not much is going on now. I'm looking for a job. I have applied at about 5 or 6 places so far. I have also applied for volunteer work, as well. I really hope I get a job soon, because I really need the money.
For St. Patrick's Day, I went to Molly Malone's Irish Pub to celebrate with a friend. I wore a camp t-shirt (which was green), and a headband with four-leaf clover decorations on the top. I had a pub burger and a Lady Diva for my meal. It was pretty good. We then walked around town, looking at all the shops, and the stuff they sell. I had a good time.
I am planning on going to visit a couple of my cousins, possibly next month, or in May. It's been a while since I've seen them, so it will be nice to see them again.
Other than that, not much is going on. I'm doing a little knitting. I love to knit now, although I'm not very good right now. But I want to get better. So far, I've made a teddy bear (for charity), a scarf, and a hat.
A few days ago, I started a bucket list. I love making lists, so this was perfect for me. My bucket list is about 10 pages long so far. I don't know if I will have much more to add to it. But I have a good amount of stuff on it, that I want to do. I have a hold on the movie The Bucket List. I've never seen it before, so I thought that since I made a list, I'd watch the movie.
Well, that's all for now. More to come later.

Snow Day

Today, we're supposed to have a really bad snowstorm, which ends tomorrow. We're supposed to get about a foot of snow in the end. We got a few inches so far, but right now, it looks like it's just barely snowing. I hate winter, and can't wait for spring to come.

I just hope I can get to school on time tomorrow. I take the bus, so I don't know if it will be on time. I hope so. But I am also hoping that classes will be cancelled tomorrow. At least I don't have any homework to turn in.

But I'm not going to be too hopefully. When I was in high school, we NEVER had a snow day, which I was not happy about.

Today, I just relaxed, since I did not have school today. Which is good, since it is probably really bad out. I might watch a movie later. Either Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince or Twilight.

Speaking of Twilight, the second movie in the series, New Moon, comes out next month, on the 20th. I can't wait until then.

This Friday is the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. I don't like winter, but I love watching the Olympics. I will definitely be watching on Friday.

Sunday is Valentine's Day, though I don't have any plans yet. I hope I will soon. I really want to do stuff with friends. I don't have a boyfriend yet, but I don't need one to celebrate Valentine's Day. It can also be a day to have fun with friends.

Well, that's it for now. More to come soon.

Today

I had my Success in College class today. There was a quiz in today's class, so there wasn't any homework. I am glad about that, because I've been tired pretty much the whole day. I need a day where I can just relax, without worrying about what's due the next day.

What got me mad was when I got on the bus this morning and when I sat down in the seat, the person next to me got up immediately and moved to another seat. He did not want to sit next to me for some reason, and that got me really mad, and upset.

I don't know why he did that, but to me, he was a jerk. I wish there weren't ignorant people like him in the world. Then I wouldn't be as upset as I am now.

We're supposed to get about a foot of snow in the next couple of days, which I am really not looking forward to. I hate snow, and I hate winter. When I can live on my own, I will live somewhere warm all the time, like Hawaii. Though, I do love my hometown of Chicago. A beautiful city; the most wonderful city in the U.S.

This Friday is the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics. I don't like winter, but I do like watching the olympics. I can't wait for it to start.

Then, this Sunday is Valentine's Day. I don't have any plans yet, but I might do something with some friends. I do not have a boyfriend, but I don't need one to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Well, that's it for now. More to come soon.

New Year, New Decade

So far, my new year is going fine. I am planning a birthday party for this Saturday. It will be to celebrate my 24th birthday. My actual birthday was on December 14th, but I didn't get to celebrate it with friends. I have quite a few ideas for what I want to do.
On January 20th, I start back at school. I can't wait to go back. I'm starting classes for a new major, Hospitality. I love to bake, and someday I would like to open my own bakery. I am so excited about this!
I wish it was spring already. Winter here is extremely cold. It is below freezing, and I am not happy about it. I am not a winter person at all. I've lived in Chicago my whole life, and I have never gotten used to the cold winters we've had.
I am really hoping to get a job soon, so I can get my own place, and hopefully move somewhere warmer someday.

My Day

Today, I went to the library, to pick up some pastry/cooking books I put on hold. I had to leave some there, because there were a lot of books, and some of them were quite big. I'll get the others another day. So, I pretty much got all the exercise I needed for the day.
We got some more snow today, which I'm not happy about. I do not like winter at all. I can't wait until spring comes, and the snow and ice melts.
As far as I know, for New Year's, my family and I are staying home, having appetizers, and watching New Year's shows on TV.
