I'm avoiding studying for the hardest test of my life. Hello, blog. Haven't updated you in a week. Let me fill you in on some stories so I can keep trying to hold onto this unstressed bliss before I dive into microeconomics.

Last Friday was the first band party at my boyfriend's frat. They had a local rapper that goes by Jackie Chain perform. It was quite amusing--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osuY809zd5U

It was fun for awhile. But as it was getting better, damn my bladder, I just had to go to the bathroom. When I came out, I couldn't find my boyfriend. A pledge grabbed my attention just outside of the bathroom door. He wanted me to call a guy he was with a p****. I said 'No, that's mean'. The music was loud, he couldn't hear me, he put his arm around me to get closer so he could hear, I pushed his arm away, he made a mean face, i think he might have said an ugly word right around here too but it's hard for me to remember that night, I asked him if he knew where Collier was, he flicked me off in my face and stormed off, and i went into the bathroom and broke down. Needless to say he was beyond drunk. If that happened to me right here and now, I would not react nearly as bad as I did that night. I was just upset someone would be so mean to me. I was upset nobody was there to see it but that boy he wanted me to call the p word. I was upset I couldn't find my boyfriend. And I was upset that my makeup was ruined; I worked hard to have a look for that night. Some girls came into the bathroom just after I did, and helped my find my boyfriend, who wasn't far from away, just not close enough to see. They were nice. Drunk girls are always way nicer than sober ones. Collier talked to the pledge and he apologized to me the next day. It was just a dumb situation.


The next day was my second UA game day and it was fun. I did wear the black dress and I liked it. Collier got to meet my uncle and cousins and my feet got to meet a world of pain.


Not much has happened this week. I'm almost through with the second season of Dexter, due to a marathon Collier and I had Tuesday night. I bought this dress=http://bit.ly/K6Nxn. It's Anna Sui for target. She was inspired by Gossip Girl and created a line. That's a Blair dress, whom is my favorite character on the series. I'm wearing it tomorrow night when I go eat at a seafood restaurant in downtown B'ham with my parents and my boyfriend and his parents. I'm looking forward to that part of tomorrow. I can just do without the two exams part.


My Flat Pattern Design test was today and it went pretty well. I know I can do pretty well on American Literature too. I good at knowing stories. This microecon test is going to mess me up though. It will be nice to forget about it for the weekend, though. I'm trying my hardest not to eat everything in my apartment right now. Stressful situations call for more yummy food. But, I can't be feeling bloated for my third UA game.


I started designing a fashion line today based on a short story I read last spring semester. It was Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I can't explain why, but his writing is like eating warm soup. It just goes down good. This story is all about "public goodness and private wickedness" (Wikipedia). That is a theme I've been struggling with and questioning my whole life. It's the reason why I've lost many friends. It's the reason why I struggle with liking people. It's also the reason why I struggle with liking myself. Everyone on this planet is a hypocrite and that makes me feel like I can never trust anyone, not even myself. Anyways, back to this line. It's going to have looks based on all of the characters. Faith will have an outfit that represents what Young Goodman Brown sees in her and she will have an outfit that represents what he sees of her in the forest. And so on and so on. It will mostly be sell able stuff though, nothing too over the top. I'm taking my time to get into over the top stuff.


I'm also on the lookout for an internship for the summer. We'll see how that goes...

UYL.
