Problem?

november is only halfway over and i have already listened to my maximum amount of free hours on pandora for the month. i had no idea that was even possible! i guess thats what happens when it asks you 4 times in one day if youre still listening. luckily, i only have to pay $0.99 to get the rest of the month!

the maximum number of free listening is 40 hours. i got an email telling me about my meeting of quota on sunday....this means that i listen to it an average of over 2 hours a day.....i think i have a problem...and also need new music.

love.

A Few Exciting Things

...well, for me anyway!!!!

first of all. i have been wanting some new nail polish colors. i never got them because spending 8.50 on nail polish is a lot and it seemed trivial. and yes, i will only buy opi nail polish. i dont like sacrificing quality. if im going to take time to paint my nails, they better be looking good! then, tracy pointed out to me that there isnt anything wrong with that since it makes me happy. and its not like i wont ever use it. my lincoln park after dark is all gone! but i guess wearing the same color for a year and a half will do that. and yes. that is right. i will no longer have my nails painted a singular color for a year and a half! my goal is to try and change it up pretty regularly. like every two weeks or so. which also means that my nails wont be so gross looking all the time! i think it will help increase hygiene points. haha!

well here they are, my new lovelies! the one on the left is called "pamplona purple" and the other one is "yoga-ta get this blue!" i love them so! (and isnt my pumpkin cute? im still working on a good name for it. blasphemy, i know! ill let you know when i figure it out)

i also got a candle called farmers market and love it as well! candles make every room more comfortable. and its orange and looks really cute next to my green lamp.

i also finally went to yoga on thursday night! and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! i am so glad i went and am sad i have had to miss it this whole semester so far. the meditation was extremely intense. to a point that i cant really explain. i felt like i was going to vomit for awhile and then felt like i disappeared or something. it was weird. and amazing. im planning on going to sadhana meditation at 530 sunday morning. i hope i can wake up!

i then enjoyed my first popcorn ball ever, courtesy of lindsey! it was kind of weird. but i enjoyed it. and callie got to watch me eat it via skype. im sure she liked it.

so, why am i smiling? because im wearing two of my new american apparel tank tops! and i wore them with my nice pants and a cardigan and looked all professional for when i had to meet and listen to formal patient discussions! it was perfect with its not matching matchingness. i like it when my normal attire can look professional with just a change of pants. and it didnt look weird! im sure i will be wearing this outfit again so maybe ill take a picture next time so you can see the cuteness!

All My Skills Are Gone.

i havent gone to yoga in what is an eternity. it seriously has been since the full moon meditation back in august. yesterday i had full intentions to go because i finally had time to just enjoy doing whatever i wanted (especially since i got an a on my infectious disease exam!) and all i wanted to do was relax, stretch, and meditate. however, this did not happen.

instead, i played my flute and piccolo for the first time in 3.5 years! i cant believe it has been that long. why did i do this? it was just a sudden urge i had. and let me tell you, its extremely hard! apparently i cant read music very well when the notes are above high e and also cant play in the key of g flat for the life of me. i dont understand how it used to be so easy. oh well, i guess i will work at bringing my skills back. etudes, here i come!

here is a picture of almost my last time playing

Lovely

this past week was absolutely beautiful! the sun was always out and it was the perfect fallesque temperature (only a tad too warm to be actual fall). it was topped off with missing an A by one question on my infectious disease exam on tuesday, getting pho for lunch with cristina and leon in the asian district on wednesday and getting a 100% on my communications exam on thursday (if i didnt, i think i would have cried because is was so ridiculously easy and felt like a waste of time).

after pho, we went to get some boba tea. just like our tradition, i got the best lid sticker thing! (mine is the yellow one). i branched out and tried pineapple. it was extremely sweet. pretty much to the point of being sugar overload. but it was still yummy!

thursday was also cristina's birthday! i made her a new pillow pal because her old one is completely falling apart. i think it came out pretty good if i do say so myself!

love.

My Arms...

...got a bit saggy towards the end of the night.

i learned that fishing line apparently stretches. i guess it has to have some sort of give in order to catch fish.

my stuffed arms are so talented that they can point for the chant too!

all i have to say is, leaving the game at half time to hang out with jessica while eating yummy queso and burgers and drinking swirls = best idea ever!


i could do nothing else but die laughing when i first opened the car door and saw brad.

based on this picture, i learned that the most amazing jello shots ever severely dye your tongue. and fingers. yes, i had to use my fingers. they were way too big to swallow whole! or even in half for that matter.

i also learned that you cant swing from a willow tree like tarzan. even if you hold onto thicker branches and bunch multiple together. the only thing that will come out of it is bark in your eye. and a broken branch in your hands. trust me, bark in your eye is not the most fun. dont worry, that weak willow tree didnt cause any severe damage. i still have my eye!

one thing i wish i got a picture of is my sequin/glitter things that i would throw around on unsuspecting people. those people being my friends because i didnt want to disturb others. at least directly that is. i would also rather them just see it and think its magical. because it was!

love.

Birthday!

i had almost all my friends together to celebrate my birthday and i had so much fun!

i was upset for a long while at the fact that pharm fest was on my birthday. however, i was pleasantly surprised that it was way more fun than any previous years! and this would be because people actually danced this time.

i. love. dancing. (even though im very aware that i lack any actual dancing skills)

we then went to the piano bar, which is normally way fun, but i was disappointed to find that it was very lame. it was the first time libby, cylen and i have been when it wasnt fun. i think it was because there were different people playing the pianos. basically, we did not stay long.

regardless of some speed bumps, it was a great day! love you guys!

love.

I Like My Legs

yes. my legs are my best asset/only asset and i am aware of that fact. i have accepted it and i love them. it is for this reason that i was excited to find some very nice and warm sweater type thigh high socks at target that will now allow me to wear my favorite pair of shorts even when its cold! i was so excited about them that when i got home i immediately put on what is now one of my favorite and most comfortable outfits! i wont actually wear it going out places. except for errands of course. and if im just hanging out. this picture is for tracy.

ridiculous? yes. but i still love it.

love.
