A Fangirl Emerges

I have been watching a web show called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries that is a modern adaption of Pride and Prejudice. It is in the form of a vlog. It is amazing! All the characters have twitter/facebook/tumblr! And today William Darcy, Gigi Darcy and Lizzie Bennet are out exploring San Fran. And it so happens that Gigi is live twitting pictures of the outing! THANK HEAVENS FOR GIGI DARCY! I can't wait for Monday's episode! It is going to be fantastic!

In other news, I just got the $500 charged to my school account for my study abroad! EEEKKK! I am so excited! Working at Dairy Queen isn't so bad anymore. Now all I have to worry about is not eating too much ice cream. Man oh man are blizzards tasty and quite hard to resist! :)

I also cleaned my room today! WOW!!! And I did laundry! I also worked out today! I am just on a roll! I went to Target this morning to buy a new sports bra, because Kacey lost the one that she borrowed before I went to school, so I needed a new one! And I fell victim to Target, and bought some more lipstick and some boot socks while I was there!

So ya, that's been my weekend so far!

As of lately

I have been working and doing pretty much nothing else. I am house sitting/ kid watching for a friend's family, which has been pretty fun. With my work schedule and my mom's work schedule I feel like I never see my mom. But neither of us work on Monday, so we will get to hang out then! :) I have to keep reminding myself that this job (no matter my feelings of dislike for it) will help pay for me to go to the UK and continue my education. The co-workers are nice, but the work is so mundane. I feel like I am going nowhere. That is why I want even more to get my degree and become a teacher. I love learning and teaching and progression.I finally finished knitting the scarf I started last Christmas! It's pretty awesome! 1 N.Y.R (new year's resolution) completed! :)
