A few things about today:
It seems that Thursdays have become my cleaning days. Last Thursday I ended up cleaning up my room because I felt ashamed of how messy it was when my mother saw it. I know. Ridiculous. Then again, I think I cleaned it just for myself because I always feel so much better in a neat environment.
Honestly, I don't understand how it can get so messy so fast. Just a few articles of clothing on the floor make it look like a train wreck.
You know what's more awkward than being in the other room while an argument is going on? Having that argument be in another language. Oy. I rushed out of there as soon as I could, which isn't fun when it's your own apartment.
Speaking of the apartment, I have no idea what I'm doing for a living situation next year. With study abroad, I'm going to be gone a term. I've been told that they have great ways to get roommates (like rooming with someone else who was in the program, for example), but now I'm nervous. Gaah.
My schedule is getting busier. Yah know what? I'm glad. I like to keep busy. It makes me prioritize my time a lot better. Still have a bit of trouble with that at times, but slowly getting better.
As far as my schedule went today, I had a lot of little chunks of time in between everything, and not one big long one. I think I like having a longer break better than a shorter break now that I think of it. You don't feel like you're rushing, and you can fit more things in during the long break.
On that note, let's talk about a moment I had today. I was talking to someone else who also happened to have a pretty hectic day. I mentioned that I had gone on a run and she replied, "Wow, I wish I had time to go on a run today."
That led me to this thought: I don't see if I have time for runs, I make time for runs. Running is a priority. I make sure I run at least every other day. If I take off anymore than that, I feel wrong somehow. I'm not quite sure, but I believe the last time I took two days off from running was December 2010. Yeah. I plan for runs. I make sure I have time to do them. I will go somewhere sweaty and gross if I have to, but I'll get that run in. If I know I'm not going to have anytime to run on a certain day, I change up the day I do that run. Can't run Thursday, and my last run was Tuesday? Run Wednesday. Just make sure you do it.
Finally, I have one more running thing to talk about. I know, I know. Lately my sister and I have been talking about how expensive races are, yet we still want to train for something. So with that, she has decided to map out a half marathon race for us both, and whoever wants to join us in about two months. I'm excited to have something new to train for. I have to admit though, the farthest I've ran in the past few weeks is five miles. Man, that kills me. Hey, but the whole point is that I've been running, and it's never less than three.
Welp, time for a new day. Friday is going to be the complete opposite of today. Only one class. Ah.
Do you prefer a lot of mini breaks or one long break?

Getting Back To The Schedule
I keep on thinking that it's Tuesday. That's not a good way to start off the week.
Today there are a few little things I learned.
How do you feel when you get back on a schedule?
Today there are a few little things I learned.
- I am terrible with grammar. I use the word anywho which isn't an actual word, but I acknowledge it. I shame myself.
- Apparently my body understands when I'm starting classes again, so it decides to wake me up every half hour after 3:00 AM until I finally decide to get up 20 minutes before my alarm.
- Hannah seems to be the only name my Theatre professor can't remember out of sixteen people. How insulting.
- Currently I'm still on vacation mentality, where being productive only happens later in the evening.
- I enjoy watching listening to people prepare food while cleaning. Hmm.
- The room in my apartment looks like a shrine to myself and running. I need pictures of other people.

The Clean Up Experience
Well, I'm here. Here as in sitting on the floor of the room of my apartment, trying not to get distracted by all of the things that still need to be done.
The transformation of becoming my mother is happening once again. I've become a crazed cleaning machine.
Since the last time I came up to the apartment, the pile of "do I actually need this?" grew and grew. Currently I have a couple of multiples of things that aren't that necessary while I'm missing things I use everyday. My organization skills were not up to par on this whole moving experience.
That leads to coming in to my apartment today, still not having anything organized, and having more random crap to bring in.
The bottom line is I've been cleaning for about 7 hours. It's not just organizing my stuff either. It's cleaning the bathroom floor, scrubbing the toilet, cleaning the kitchen counters... Goodness. I haven't even finished my room, nor decorated, nor gotten the kitchen supplies put away. Then again, I probably should have started before three...
People tend to not believe me when I say that I like to be organized. However, as you can probably tell by now, I do. I don't like to stop until everything's set up the way I like... but I'm about to pass out.
The organizing spree will continue tomorrow! And hopefully by then, I'll have everything done so pics can occur.

Summer Classes and Borders
One more day of Spanish 202! Yes! Three more weeks of Spanish, three more weeks...
Since we're talking about Spanish, I just have to say one thing: It's taking over. It always does the last week of class. (Then again, I'm not really sure I can say that because this is only the second part of a three part program. Still.)
Anywho, as I've said before when my life gets busy, my life gets messy. Random areas in the house are starting to have little piles build up. The bedroom just has things that need to be put away. The car? Terrible. And it's making me feel a little crazy. Still, I just need to concentrate on finishing up this "term", so as soon as I'm done tomorrow... it's time to get organized.
...After my run. And after work. Well, I'm guessing Friday is when organizing will occur.
I managed to stop by Borders today and take a look around. The depressing-ness of the liquidation finally hit home while I was finding a parking space. Giant yellow "Going out of business" banners everywhere...it's sad no matter what type of business it is. It's even more depressing when it's a store you used to spend hours reading and perusing the shelves.
Truth be told, even with sales the books were kind of pricey still. It was only stuff for about 10% off, but I did manage to snag a magazine for 40% off.
I wouldn't spend 5 bucks on a magazine normally, but getting that magazine for $3? Why not. Borders needs some love.
Although after I told my mom that, she replied, "Well what about when they were taking over all of the little businesses before?"
...I still like my Borders.
Have you visited Borders since the liquidation started? How do you feel about Borders?

Running Errands and Weighty Realizations
My phone has been saying an old post has been publishing all day... Ought to figure out what's going on there.
I can't believe it's already Wednesday. I'm getting all of my days mixed up. Not a good thing for the week to come.
Even though I haven't been in school this week, I've been keeping myself busy. Today was a day of running errands, cleaning, and determining what clothes are needed and for what seasons they are needed for. Because of this, I've been trying on clothes to see what fits. This has led me to realizing just how skinny I've gotten.
I have always been the one to mutter, "Damn skinny bitches" under my breath whenever I've seen some models flaunting about or something onscreen. The weird thing about that is I'm pretty thin myself. I don't think I'll ever let myself realize that, because for the longest time I was the biggest one out of the group.
I've never been overweight. I've been lucky enough to have pretty decent genes, a.k.a. the thin ones on my dad's side. (With the hips and thighs of my mom's side, but still.) I was always average. The only problem with being average is when you hang around with a bunch of dancers. Almost all of my really good friends were on the dance team, meaning they were all stick thin. Just because I wasn't overweight didn't mean I didn't feel fat in comparison.
Since then I've lost weight, and running helps me stay this size. If I quit running, my weight would probably explode. That makes things intimidating. For instance, what's my weight going to be in the future? Will people shamefully look at me and sadly say, "Oh, that Hannah. She used to be skinny, but now... How depressing."
Am I over thinking this? Probably. That's why for now I'll simply look in the mirror and exclaim, "Damn I look good!" Like they always say, it's better to live in the present than be overly stressed about things that might happen.
Other than those thoughts going through my mind, simply been thinking about school, cleaning, packing, money, summer... You know, a lot of things.
What do you tell yourself to keep from worrying about weight?

Televisions, Waxings, and Super 8
I can constantly hear the muffled sound of televisions at home. I forgot how nice it is to have quiet, but I suppose there's nothing I can do about it. It just feels like everyone is continuously watching TV in this house. Now, I know I love Hulu, but for some reason I'm not much for TV.
My room right now? It's disastrous. I wonder how on earth I was able to get so much stuff into my dorm, because my room is insanely full of things. Where did it all go? I have no idea. I'm currently in the process, or should be in the process of cleaning things up. I keep on doing other things, or getting other things done, ya know?
In random news, I got my lip waxed for the first time ever! I've always been terrified of the idea of waxing my lip, but it wasn't that bad. She did use this numbing stuff though...
And yesterday, I went to see Super 8 with my sister and dad. SO GOOD. If a movie can put me through a spectrum of emotions, I tend to think it's a good movie. I don't really want to go into film review mode though, so I'll just leave it at that. Even if it is a little predictable.
A bit of a ramble, but that's just how things are working out lately. A lot of random thoughts just strung together. Have a lovely evening!
Have you ever gotten anything waxed before?

Studying Time, Absurdly Disorganized, and Menacing Children on Bikes
Let's make it quick here, because I have to go back to some more studying before bed.
First of all, if I end up gaining the freshmen fifteen, or at least any weight, it's going to be during this week. At least the beginning of the week. Strangely enough, I haven't necessarily been feeling hungry, but I know that I should eat. So I do. My hunger gauge gets loopy after a cold. However, with the attempt of running my meal money out, it's been difficult balancing things out. I could be imagining things, I dunno.
Next, I have heard the phrase, "There's always Facebook," or a variation of that far too often in the last two days. It's sad seeing everyone go, especially since I won't be around next year. I don't think the fact that I won't be seeing any of the people 'round here anytime soon has hit me quite yet. All I know is that I'm almost all alone in the dorms. I suppose it wouldn't matter right now since all that I've been doing is studying for the past few days.
The room situation can be named "absurdly disorganized" currently. I can't help it! (Well, I'm not sure how true that is.) Still, I've been studying a lot, and the biggest reason things are scattered are because I haven't had enough time to organize everything to look pretty. I have packed away more things.
I guess the one thing I did other than studying and taking a final today was go for a run. For some reason, I keep on deciding that it would be best to run when the sun is at its peak. Every time, I curse myself and think, "I'll never do this again!" But I do. However, with the way my schedule is changing up, I'll be able to run either early morning or in the evenings.
Random thing: Apparently little kids really hate runners. Twice I was running and went to one side, but instead of going on the other side the kid would aim their bike directly at me. Seriously! Kids on bikes are mean.
Back to studying for me, but hopefully everyone else will have a lovely evening!
What part of your life gets pushed to the side when it's big event time? For me, it's definitely cleaning.

Dead Week, Packing, Clothes, and Remembering Where it All Began
So it's Tuesday? Yeah, I suppose so.
Dead Week really is dead. My interactions with others have shown me how ready everyone is to be done with school. I am too, but I'm also trying to figure out classes for the summer... not sure what the best plan is. Should I go here for summer classes, which would be cheaper class wise but involve a lot of driving? Or take it where there would be less driving, no extra help and it goes for longer into the summer. I'm leaning towards the classes I'm already signed up for, but perhaps that might change. Who knows.
What was I talking about again? Oh right, Dead Week!
I've been packing away my life, which includes trying to figure out what clothes are good to pack. My realization? I am not good at packing away clothes, because I can't figure out which outfits I want to save! Goodness, I'm such a stereotypical girl. I love my clothes, what can I say?
One of the biggest problems I'm trying to think about are weather issues. This week is supposed to be raining all week. Next week is supposed to be extremely sunny. Oh Oregon.
The effects of clearing out my room are finally starting to show up, and it's really weird. I'm getting flashbacks to the very beginning of the school year, when everything was fresh and new. Oh room, despite having some problems you will be missed.
I've been chewing gum again since yesterday. Bah.
How do you decide on outfits to pack/wear for non vacation/ non everyday purposes?

Feelings of the Week and Packing Up Part 2
So blogger was glitchy last night, meaning I wasn't able to get this post up last night. I tried! Anywho, there will another post tonight!
Lately I’ve been swearing like crazy. I know that it’s not very ladylike, but I simply can’t help it. I blame television.
Today was part two of the packing up situation. There was a good amount of work done, and there have been many drawers cleaned out. It may seem a bit crazy getting stuff put away already, but I know that it’s going to be a process. If I have some free time, I should use it being productive, right?
Ugh. For the past week I have been feeling bloated and ravenous all of the time. I can’t stand it. I’m hoping it’ll go away by next week…
Also, I think I did something to my wrist. I don’t know what, but whenever I move it certain ways, it gets a twinge of pain. Oh boy.
Not much to say for the day! Just been busy and productive!
What are some habits you’ve had lately?

Making Things Tidy, Messy and Organized All at the Same Time
So opposite effects are happening in the rooming situation as of late. Well, maybe just today.
The room mate spent the day tidying everything up. I spend part of the day tearing it apart like it was Christmas morning.
The reasoning behind this? I don't recall if I've mentioned this, but my last final happens to be on the last Friday of school. This is also the day that we are meant to move out of the dorms. My final ends at two. We need to be out of here at five. Personally, I don't want to be running around like a madman for three hours trying to get my rear out of here. Honestly, it took me about three weeks to finally get all of my things in my room to my liking. ...Yeah.
The results of that were that I happend to get a full box of things out to my car already! Plus my gift for my birthday from my room mate.If you don't remember, she bought me a goose. For some reason, all of my home town friends like to buy me random things they find in thrift stores.
It may not look like much was removed from the room, but I was able to clear out most of three drawers:
Plus, that box had been under my bed. and it had quite of bit of stuff in there to begin with. Feelin' productive!
Honestly, today was extremely productive, but it just felt like I wanted to get so much more done! The days... far too short.
How soon do you get started when moving out of somewhere?

Guilty Pleasures and Cleaning Up Online
It's Friday Night! Alright!
People of the world, I have a confession to make. Lately I've been enjoying the guilty pleasure that is Perez Hilton.
One of the things that I think is kind of curious about Perez Hilton is how he talks yet still is known as a credible source. Many of his posts you see him say things like, "LOL! So sexie!" of "Omg SO SAD!" When one thinks about credible sources, they don't usually type in chat speak.
Anyway, I've been reading Perez to get news on pop culture. I feel like I need to be informed if I'm interested in working with pop culture maybe someday.
...Although I just skip over the Charlie Sheen articles. I was over it before it even started.
Today I decided to do some cleaning, but it wasn't the type of cleaning you would expect. I hopped around the web and cleaned up my past. You see, I've had many different usernames on different websites, and I've decided that I want to have nothing online that could be odd for something to find. Paranoid? Sure, but at least I don't have things for a boss to even question me about. I used to have a Tumblr, but now it's gone. I haven't used it in ages, so why have it? I'd rather have my online reputation be not about a failed attempt at a journal comic.
I'm going to try to start making a more professional name for myself online... but I'm still not sure how.
Well, I'm off for the night. I hope everyone has a lovely evening!

Messy Buns, Room mate Interactions and Fashion Habits
Can I just say that I should not be allowed to write anything when distracted by outside sources? Agreed? Good. Now let's move on.
For the past two weeks, I have been rockin' the messy bun all of the time. All my girls out there with the long hair, seriously consider it. The messy bun is the perfect mix of laziness yet looking put together. Plus, all of your hair is out of your way. Awesome. (Underneath it all, buns always kind of give me the dancer vibe, which I love.)
One of the strangest occurrences since I have been at college has happened. My room mate CLEANED. Not just pushed a few things under her bed, no. She literally cleaned. It's almost a little terrifying that our dorm is so neat, but I'm not gonna complain. Hey, if this new guy in her life is going to get her to clean, he's good in my book.
There are times that the room mate ticks me off, and there are times that she's cool in my book. However, there was something that she did today that most definitely did not put her on my good side. The funny thing is, she didn't do anything to me. She did it to her parents.
So, the room mate's parents stopped by to drop some things off for her. She also happened to be trying to keep this new guy in her life a secret from her parents... Doesn't work well when there's flowers from him in the room, but I digress. The thing that just ticked me off was how rude she was to them. She snapped at everything they said, didn't say thank you for anything and... Ugh! Here are some examples of what I heard:
"Oh, who are those flowers from?"
"None of your BUSINESS."
"So what have you been up to."
"School and whatever."
"Here, we brought you these!"
"Yeah, cool. Did you get that other thing?"
Now, I get that sometimes parents can get on your nerves and all of that. But geez, they're the ones who birthed you! Treat them with respect! I love my mom, and even though she can get on my last nerve I still at least try to be polite. Plus, the more you keep from your parents, the less they will want to trust you. Maybe that's why my room mate is so paranoid. My mom may say that you should look for a guy that respects his mom, because then he'll respect you. I believe that could work for girls too. If they don't respect their parents, will they respect their friends?
I know that my family already doesn't like my room mate, and I try to defend her all of the time. Alas, my argument is slowly starting to falter.
On the fashion side of the world, the last few days I have not been wearing very much color. What is this madness!? Usually, I tend to wear a lot of color. If I'm wearing a lot of black, I throw in some bright pink tights or something. That's something I try to avoid a lot. Unfortunately, that's what I've been doing so much. I need colors, dangit!
Well, time to prepare for another week at school. Woo.
Do you treat your parents with respect? and What's your favorite fashion habit?
For the past two weeks, I have been rockin' the messy bun all of the time. All my girls out there with the long hair, seriously consider it. The messy bun is the perfect mix of laziness yet looking put together. Plus, all of your hair is out of your way. Awesome. (Underneath it all, buns always kind of give me the dancer vibe, which I love.)

Black Swan and Rainy Day Cleaning
The sky is grey and rain has been coming down all day. Good thing I spent the day indoors!
Before I talk about today, I'd just like to say that last night I went to Black Swan at the Midnight movies. That movies is very bizarre. The whole time you're trying to figure out what is actually going on, but by the end of it you still don't actually know what just happened. Another thing I noticed was how incredibly sexual it was. I heard it was sensual, but I didn't know how sensual. Just... don't watch this with a parent. It will get awkward. Despite having no idea what was really happening, the movie drew me in. I wanted to know how the performance was going to turn out, I wanted to see the Black Swan! Oh, and there were a few scenes that gave me the heebie jeebies. I had difficulty trusting Nina around any object that could cause physical harm.
What I did today was clean my side of the dorm, and it was pretty in depth cleaning. I organized drawers, and managed to clear the cluttered space under my bed. Nice.
While working through the cave underneath my bed, I found some interesting things. One thing, that I knew was under there were my lovely roller skates.
I can't wait until the weather's nice to roll around in them again. Yes, I am a college student who has a pair of roller skates. It's what I wanted for Christmas when I was seventeen. Yeah, I am that cool.
I also stumbled upon a pair of shoes that I thought I threw away, but instead stowed under my bed. I think I wanted to try saving them, but look at these things:
It's time to let them go. They lived a good life.
Last two things I discovered were:
That is not a good thing. I think starting now I'm going to use the eco-friendly grocery bags. I have some that were just given to me for free, so why not?
Now, my side of the room is looking pretty spiffy.
I do need to vacuum still though. I just haven't had a chance to get my hands on the vacuum. Perhaps tomorrow, but tonight I'm off to eat some pasta with the fam for tomorrow!
What habits do you have when you do serious cleaning?

Last two things I discovered were:
- I always stumble upon some intense lipstick when I really dig deep into my cleaning, and I always end up putting it on. Why? I have no idea.
- I have been using way too many plastic bags. I never throw them away because I think, "Oh, I'll use them again and it's bad for the enviroment. But this?
Now, my side of the room is looking pretty spiffy.

Colder Weather, Pizza and Wishlists
Today was a colder day. What is this madness?
I need to wake up earlier to go to Valsets for breakfast because I am running out of breakfast foods. Today I ate my last Bagel Thin and I have no more Peanut Butter Crunch. Only Cheerios, but still. Besides, I need to use my money on my food card.
One thing that I've been seeing today are that the cleaning people are ALWAYS cleaning. Both times I sat down at a table in the hall today the cleaning guy had to come in RIGHT then. I kind of snapped at him, which I feel bad about now. It's just a little annoying.
What else happened today... Went to the coffee shop on campus, had classes, had this pizza thing in the common area with our residential professor... It was a good day.
I've noticed I've been really negative lately and it's got to stop. When I write, I seem to write only about the bad things. However, life is awesome!
Another thing that makes life awesome? My birthday is on the 22nd of this month! I'm excited, even though nothing happens when you turn 19. It's just you last year of teenagerdom. Even though I've received my birthday presents via school clothes, I still have a wish list:
Last thing on my wishlist was this cookbook for single serving cupcakes you can make in a microwave with a mug! How fun is that?
Even though I know I won't get all of these things, it's always fun to make wish lists. See you all tomorrow!

About the Artist Dress
I love Modcloth stuff. My favorite pair of shoes is from modcloth!
You've Got it Jade Dress
Another dress from ModCloth. Cute!
Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Edition
I think this book looks really interesting. I browsed through the restaurant version in a bookstore, and it was fun to look at.
Itunes Giftcards
I've been wanting new music, but I'm a good little kid and don't want to steal it!
Wireless Headphones
During my runs, my headphone wires are always bouncing around obnoxiously. It would be really cool to have wireless ones! Since I'm mentioning running, I ran another short run 1.73 miles in 15 minutes due to lack of time.
Even though I know I won't get all of these things, it's always fun to make wish lists. See you all tomorrow!
Do you have a wish list? What's on your wishlist?
