Finals experience Winter 2013

Holy moley... I got no sleep last week. Lol. I had so many papers and all sorts of things to do that I was so lazy and waited till the last minute for. It was kind of a terrible idea and I don't really recommend it, but I happen to work best when it is last minute and rushed and I'm under a lot of pressure. When it seems damn near impossible to get done, thats when I will start doing it!

And that pretty much works for me but it feels like crap when its happening because its like "ohhh my god I have to rush idk what to write about I'm not sure what to do, I can't stay awake." Bleehhhh type of nonsense. Once I finish all of that though, I feel like I just fought a dragon and like I am the smartest human being on earth.

Now I'm just going to brag a bit about the classes I took, because its not like these are blow off classes that are automatic A's these are quite difficult. And I'm not like a straight A student, but I'm a good student and like I said these are tough classes. I'm an English Major, so I had pretty much all English classes, so it was a lot of writing.

I took a tv writing class where you had to write an entire 60-page episode of a show you developed with a group whose idea you liked. I also had to write a short film, which wasn't quite as hard but it was still a little difficult. It ended up being 5 and a half-ish pages.

I also took a class where we analyzed the show the Wire. That was pretty cool. If you were to watch any episode with me I could probably analyze all of the characters and the entire season, as well as major themes as a whole.

The most impressive sounding thing that I've done is my Chaucer class. I had a 12 page term paper along with 4 other 3-4 page papers that I finished right before the final exam. Chaucer is not an easy person to read, but we also had to read it in Middle English and I did it and understood it! You have no idea how smart that makes me feel. It isn't really that difficult, its basically English in a German accent, but still it is something that I did and it happened lol.

So yeah like I said waiting till the last minute and pulling all nighters is bad.  Kids, don't try it at home... but for me I think it worked. Kind of bold of me to say before I got all of my grades back... but I think I did fine. My term paper for the Chaucer class was particularly Brilliant and I really want to know how I did on it. lol.

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
