I'm trying that milk/lemon juice solution to making your skin fairer/smoother. Let's see how it goes! As much as I hate milk, I'm willing to wipe it all over my face for the opportunity to have clearer skin. I'm 22.. I shouldn't have acne anymore ffs.
I had such a cool dream last night.
Not worrying about things or having stress always makes me able to sleep really well and have really creative, adventurous dreams. When I'm stressed I have horrible nightmares. But when I'm not my dreams always are so colorful and scenic with really extraordinary storylines. It's really great.
Reading now!

I figured I might as well blog a bit, since I've got a lot of spare time today. I'm so glad it's finally Friday. I've been feeling so depressed and lonely all week. I dunno what's wrong with me. I just miss Lars a lot while he's at work, and he's had to stay late for the past few days so I see him even less.
I like being here alone during the day.. I always find tons of stuff to do, but that's just the thing.. I wish I could be doing them with my friends. I can't wait till Maria gets here.
I've been trying to work out consistently, and I definitely see more tone in my abs. My biggest problem I think is my legs. I feel so insecure about them because I'm so short and they're never going to be a mile long and super slim, but I've been doing tons of squats and lunges to try and just get them to be more muscular. I like my body but I want to get rid of some of the unnecessary curves here and there. Plus just the fact that working out gives you more energy, endorphins, etc. Running is the biggest chore. I wish I could be one of those people who just loves to run religiously, and does it for like an hour straight every day, but I have to force myself to do it now and then, and then I just want to get it over with so I run through the park and when I've listened to most of my good songs I'm done.
My mom had to have her gallbladder removed 2 days ago. She's thankfully back and home and doing better, but it hurts me so much to know how much she has to go through every day. If it's not one thing making her sick, it's another. Nobody deserves to be in that much pain. She's not even a bad person. She's made more mistakes than most probably, but she genuinely has learned from them and is sorry and has tried her absolute best to remedy them. I can't say that for anybody else.
Some guy sold me a CD yesterday on the street. I think he might have been flirting with me but at least I got it for only 3 euro instead of the 15 he originally wanted. He was American too. The best part is that it's actually a really really good CD. Tons of downtempo, reggae/hip-hip influenced stuff. It's great background music. Really groovy. The name of the band was Audiopharmacy.. he said they were touring throughout Europe. Maybe they'll become famous and I'll have a rare CD! That would be pretty sweet.
The past 2 times I bought magoes they were overripe. I hope that lady fixes her sh!t at the fruit market. At least they're only 33 cents each. Sometimes she sells them 4 for a euro, but they're usually really bad by then. Oh well, I'll figure something out.
Ok I'm going to go sunbathe and read or something.

I found my iPod. I have 3 now including my new one whose battery lasts about 24 hours. Much better than the 2-3 of the old ones.

So busy for the past month... school is awesome, I love my classes and professors and going downtown in the morning. It was such a good decision to transfer to Roosevelt.

Lars came and went. It was the best week of my life, as usual when he's around. Everything is so complete and whole and homey when he's around.

Stuff to do. The weather is quite nice out.

Still haven't found my ipod. But best weekend ever. I'll post longer about it later.

Suchhhhh a long day. Spent all afternoon downtown, buying books, getting CTA bus pass (my picture turned out good, not like a mugshot for once). I did make a friend tho! Her name is Melissa, and we immediately connected because we both love to talk and get to know people around us and don't feel uncomfortable blabbing out our first thoughts. She was hilarious.. when she got her picture taken in front of me, the lady with the camera was like 'oo you have such a perfect smile!' and she was like 'Pff.. I better have one, I paid enough money for it' HAHAHA. So cute. So anyway we walked down Jackson to State just talking about random things, and it was really really awesome to feel like I already made a friend after being there for only 30 mins. We got each other's numbers, and she said she loves Japanese food (w00t), so hopefully we will be able to get together and hang out.
So yeah, overall it was a good day. Oh and I also got my contacts finally!! It feels so great to not have my glasses sitting on my nose again. And now I can wear my sunglasses <333333>
I'm so freaking thirsty.
Working out without music SUCKS, but I started reading my 5th Anne Rice novel.. the Witching Hour. My sister said it's one of her favorite books ever, and I'm about 105 pages in and it's really good so far.. I can feel it slowly building to some incredible story that will make me never forget it. Before this, I think the Queen of the Damned was my favorite Rice novel. Let's see how this one is. If I ever finish it.. its easily over 1000 pages.. I'll check it later. But anyway, the point is, I really want a Zune mp3 player. They look lovely, and my dad is giving me $40 for the drawing I'm doing for him, so I think I can put $60 on my credit card without it doing too much damage. I like the red color. We'll see though. I'll give my iPod until this weekend to turn up. Otherwise I'm just going to assume I got pickpocketed or I dropped it somewhere in public, in which case I will never see it again. That sucks, but I didn't pay for it anyway.. so I'm not too upset over the loss.
Alright, bed time.

WHERE THE EFF IS MY IPOD?!??!??

Obama's speech was amazing. He said everything that needed to be said, and made every word count. I was crying like a baby, needless to say.
So I went over to Macy's and got free mascara!! It's really nice. I'll be using it later today most likely. I'm thinking I'll go to the mall later again and get something else.. maybe that shower gel or something. Anyway, it should be nice. Here's a picture, and some of when I had done my makeup really prettily ^^
