Two weeks left in the semester and I feel like it's JUST starting to get good, ahhh

This is the first time in quite a while where I felt like I actually ENJOYED studying. It sucks because learning has always been something I'm super passionate about. I used to LOVE studying. But, better late than never I guess.

Finals week is coming. Finals week is scary. Homework does not enter the blanket fort.

I didn't want to take too many pictures because I had friends over, but LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THAT IS!

I made pie the other day, and conveniently we got the first snowfall of the year immediately after, which made for a very lovely study session.

Garden of the Gods

Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States

If you're ever in Colorado, swing by! It's a city park, so it's totally free to enter. I recommend showing up early in the day because it's huge.

I have been sick for the past week and put myself in a very bad spot in terms of schoolwork, but I'm finally feeling better, so I took a little trip on Sunday!

Last New Year, I resolved to read some classic novels this year.

I promptly forgot about that until I was sitting in the airport to go visit my grandparents this year.

Luckily, it wasn't too late. I had plenty of books I wanted to get through, since I didn't really do any pleasure reading last semester, but when I got home from school, I got the random itch to finally read Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik. I finished it on the flight home -- just barely making it in time for the New Year.

I highly recommend this book! Chuck Palahnuik is an absolute freak of a man with a very unique style. I love the way he develops Tyler as sort of a cult leader figure -- it's very unnerving how he makes his awful suggestions sound so appealing.

I think it was a risky move to leave the narrator completely nameless, but I think he pulled it off really well. It's easy to project onto the narrator, and as the story goes on, you see how the narrator dehumanizes himself and others (such as the Space Monkeys, who are referred to as a mass, or the Mechanic, who's a sort of prophet figure.)

I loved Marla as a character. I didn't see the twist coming. It was a quick read. Highly recommend.

Oooh, ahhh

Big mountains (my father for scale)

So, just on impulse, my friends and I decided to study in the science center, just for a change of pace. And it was a great decision, because turns out they just decorated it yesterday. I never knew it could be so cozy in there.

It's getting to the really tough part of the semester, and one lesson I've learned in college is just how much the environment can affect me.

Hey folks and fellas, do you ever get a considerable way into a project before you realize that it's... Maybe a little bit silly?

Would That I - Hozier

Hey! This is a super uncomfortable thing for me to post, but I’m in a voice class and trying to break into theater. I really need to get used to performing. This isn’t a proper cover, but I recorded myself practicing and I’m putting it out there.
