A cold, rainy day... And free Jimmy Johns!

Hello there,

Today was cold... and wet.  I woke up (somewhat) late so I threw on some clothes, put my crazy curly hair into a disgusting bun, covered it with a baseball cap, and dashed out the door.  Luckily, when I finally realized just how terrible the rain was outside, I remembered that my new umbrella was conveniently snuggled in the side pocket of my backpack.  I had just bought it (my old one was broken), and, I admit, was a little excited to use it.  I like new things!  I'm spoiled!  But, of course, the wind was so terrible that it completely destroyed my new umbrella and I came to class with soaked jeans anyway.  Even though the majority of my morning was terrible, I got a free mini sandwich from Jimmy Johns just as my stomach was starting to grumble!  Yay!

I feel like I'm super busy this week!  I wrote down (most) of the important things I have to do on this adorable sandwich post-it, scratching off what gets done with a blue pen.  But whenever I remove something from my list, I have to add another!  Never ending!

Sadly enough, I just can't seem to only focus on my homework.  After doing it all day, my mind began to wonder.  I did my nails, putting on a gray base and then applying purple sparkles on top.  Normally, I'm not a big fan of sparkles, but it made me pretty happy to see them shine today.  As you can see, I positively have superb nail skills.  I'll probably pick it all off tomorrow.

My abundant plethora of colored pencils!  As soon as I start working again and have money (oh, I can't wait), I want---no, need---to buy more!  I love admiring and using all the different shades of colors, and the names they come up with crack me up.  It isn't just red, it's wildfire.  Duh!  Get it right!

This is my little Finn doll from my overstuffed shelf!  (I have way too much crap, but I kind of like the feeling of clutter.  Makes me feel cozy.)  His big goofy smile makes my day brighter every time! :-)

Best Wishes,

Katie

P.S.  Thank you boyfriend of mine for getting me this amazing camera!  I've literally used it everyday since you've entrusted it to my untrustable hands!  Love you!
