Cowboy Kitty

Hello friends,

Today is the last day before anxiety month, actually I could probably stretch it to Sunday being the last day but I'm gonna try to actually not procrastinate this weekend.

What I mean is, today is the last day before I NEED to start studying for midterms and working on group/final projects. And let me tell you, I've got a lot of group projects to work on and midterms to study for. Frick I hate this semester.

In honour of the last day before anxiety month (by which I mean now til April), I'm throwing a party! Some friends are down for reading break and we're gonna have some nice social time at my house playing good natured board games, drinking warm milk and snacking on tea cookies.

Yup.

This party definitely will NOT involve jello shots, drinking games, or potentially racist costumes. That's just not how we roll...

And now the cutest picture I have ever drawn that has nothing to do with a certain costume party I may or may not be throwing:

That is one bad ass cowboy kitty. Just look at that scowl, so cute and angry at the same time!

R-R-R-Reading Break!!

So I just got back from Florida and have since decided that I will become one of those people that lives in Florida during the winter.

I am very upset that I came home and it is still February.

Even though it was like unseasonably cold while we were in Florida, it was still warmer than it is here and I want it to at least be spring now. I can't handle any more winter.

Also, while in Florida me and my super-cool crew went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter A.K.A. Harry Potter Land and we totally rocked the nerds. It was a very good time, lots of rides, lots of shopping and tons of quoting and showing off how nerdy we are. 

We drank ButterBeer! And the Triwizard Cup was purchased for future use as an epic King's Cup. It glows.

Anyways, onto my latest masterpiece. This little baby was drawn during CheerFest or as I liked to call it: The Cheerpocalypse. 

Oh and Happy Valentine's Day everyone, I hope you're all as awesome as me and spending it watching tv and eating Harry Potter candy from Honeydukes with your family.

Award Winning Social Skills

So, you know how everyone is always like "OMG I am so awkward! Awkward Turtle! LOLZ" and they think that it's all cute and endearing to other people and that they are some kind of Zooey Deschanel-esque awkward-but-awesome-and-totally-hot girl because of it?

That is not me. I sincerely wish that could be me but you would have to take off the "cute and endearing" part and replace it with "weird and no one wants to be my friend".

A Puppy Studying-Cute and Endearing like I will Never Be

Examples:

The second week of school my E-Marketing class was put into groups with an e-mailed list of who was in what group and told to do an assignment (SIDENOTE: we had a week of snow days(awesome) so no one really knew who each other was). So, we e-mailed each other and completed the assignment without every seeing each others faces.

Last week, in class, I sit down at my computer and start preparing myself for 3 hours of learning about stuff I see/do every day on the internets. Slowly the room starts filling up and some girl sits down beside me with a boy on her other side and some high school-looking BFFS from other classes all sit around me and they all seem to know each other and dress like models and remind me of the cast from The O.C.

WELL, the class starts and I totally wasn't jealous that the girl beside me kept talking to the guy on her other side while no one would talk to me and I thought to myself "hmm that guy looks really familiar, I think his name is LightBulb and he is in my group...maybe I should say something to him about the assignment. Nahhhh"

Later:

"LightBulb seems to know this girl beside me from some other class, wait, are they talking about group projects? I've never seen her before and there was a girl in my group who hasn't made it to class yet, maybe that's her..."

Later:

"I think my group has been sitting beside me for the last two hours and I haven't said one word to them! If I say something now I'll look like a total douche for not talking to them at the break!"

Teacher tells everyone to get in their groups and start working on an assignment:

"Ohhhh crap how am I supposed to tell them I'm in their group now! Oh god they're looking around for me! What do I do??"

I then proceeded to turn to my right and say "Oh I'm in your group by the way" and then smile as nicely(creepily) as I could because I'm stuck with this group for the rest of the semester and I want to be included in their fun little O.C. club.

THANKFULLY they actually were my group and I was spared the awful torment of working with them for awhile and then finding out that whoops my group is actually on the other side of the room!

And please, if there was some way I could have turned that into something cute and endearing, please, please let me know because, if I'm being honest, that was definitely not the first time that has happened to me.
