Old Advice, Yet Still Good Advice

Remember this post?  I realized that I've needed the advice Lori gave me more now than ever.  So I'm reusing it again to remind mostly me but also the few of my readers that life is good.  You may not be where you want to be in life, but that's okay keep growing and love yourself through it all.  In the end you need to be your own cheerleader, because nobody is harder on you than you.  LOVE YOURSELF and good things will come.

"Love yourself, be proud of yourself, and be very gentle with yourself. If you love who you are, then you will be able to accomplish all your dreams.  Have no judgement with who you are or where you are at in your life.  Just be proud and gentle and loving towards yourself"

What I'm Listening To

It has been a long time since I've done one of these posts so I figure it's about time!  My new find of the month was Takenobu, and obviously, I'm a little obsessed with Takenobu.  The singing songs aren't as good as the instrumental but I've been liking it all lately.

Tracy Chapman- Paper and Ink
Takenobu-Thursday
Takenobu-Exposition
Penguin Cafe Orchestra- Music for a Found Harmonium 
Teddy Geiger-Hallelujah
Brett Dennen-By & By
The Section Quartet- Such Great Heights (I recommend any of their songs, they're legit!)
Break of Reality-Vintage

Maxence Cyri- Where is My Mind

Rosi Golan-Hazy

Someday I'll get flours

Baby Kicks

I thought I'd blog about this because my journaling abilities are seriously lacking.  Today was such a great day, and it was also one of those great moments that I don't want to forget.  I got to feel my little niece kick from within the womb.  I know to most people this isn't a big deal but to me it was one of those moments where everything got really really real!  I'm going to be an aunt.  This is REALLY happening.  My heart is so full of love for this little nugget that hasn't even been born yet, its just amazing!

Hating on Comic Sans

There are probably only a few people who will get why I think this is funny.  It has nothing to do with the dogs.  I'm not a dog lover of any sort, but I do just hate Comic Sans.

The Best I Can Be is Jamaican

These past few weeks have been SO hard for me.  I've been running a day late and a dollar short and that's not usually how I have things done.  This chem class I'm in is TOUGH.  I've been doing so much just to keep my head above water and I'm getting burned out.  Since the beginning of the semester, I've been trying so hard to focus in on this chemistry stuff and block out the distractions that I stopped having fun a long time ago.  Somehow I've forced myself to become this robostudent and I honestly don't like it.  I keep thinking about this scene in Cool Runnings.  I've been trying too hard to be the "Swiss" (the kids that live at school and eat sleep and breath science.  Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly certain they don't ever sleep just compute).  The truth is I'm more of a Jamaican.  I like to watch TV while I do homework, I'm more of a home body, and I'm going to take a break every once in a while.  I've been trying so hard to figure out everything at once, but I'm going to take my time and decided on this transfer one day at a time.  I love my life and I wouldn't want to try being somebody else.  Hopefully, this new attitude will stick and I can regain some sort of happiness!
