Busyness in School

Image
So, everybody at my college kinda had a second winter break when we had one week of snow days (aka Snowmageddon). This, while it was very awesome, made my class assignments and stuff all wonky.  This week is "catch-up-week". I've got big design projects to work on and exams to study for and when I'm done for the day, I just need to relax and de-socialize and do nothing for a little bit.  SO, I'm sad to say it, but it looks like I'll be taking this week (and maybe more depending on schoolwork) off of blogging. LOVE YOU GUYS. Please hang on through the drought of posts. ;) I have some good stuff in store. 

K-Pop 101 (Guest Post by Ely)

Image
I recently developed a (healthy) obsession with K-pop, Korean pop music, and all the things that come with it like reality shows and dramas. :) I waste so many hours on it now (don't tell anyone I said that). I regret nothing.  When I started learning more about K-pop I remembered that Ely (whose blog I was already following) mentioned K-pop a lot and I was like *snaps fingers* She's an expert. I should ask her to do a post so my followers will know what I'm blabbing about.  So I did and she did and wallah! She's an awesome person/blogger and you should totally go check out her blog and  her twitter (because she tweets some hilarious/legit things).  #### Ely is a sleep-deprived blogger who has been writing this post for like four weeks (and by writing she means staring at a blank page mentally headdesking at the lack of inspiration). She likes Oreos (but can't eat them), anime and kpop (obviously), and is currently attending Bible Colleg...

Review: Rules of the Road

Rules of the Road  by Joan Bauer Publication date: July 7, 2005 Publisher: Corgi Childrens (this makes me think of corgi pups. aww.) Format: paperback Source: me! Pages: 224 Meet Jenna Boller, star employee at Gladstone Shoe Store in Chicago. Standing a gawky 5'11" at 16 years old, Jenna is the kind of girl most likely to stand out in the crowd for all the wrong reasons. But that doesn't stop Madeline Gladstone, the president of Gladstone's Shoes 176 outlets in 37 states, from hiring Jenna to drive her cross country in a last ditch effort to stop Elden Gladstone from taking over his mother's company and turning a quality business into a shop-and-schlock empire. Now Jenna Boller shoe salesperson is about to become a shoe-store spy as she joins her crusty old employer for an eye-opening adventure that will teach them both the rules of the road and the rules of life. #### So...PROPS TO ME. Rules of the Road  is officially the first book I've starte...
