Things I desperately want...

...but can't afford. Yet.

Yesterday the weather was bad, but today takes the cake. It's barely 40 degrees, random showers of hail and snow, cloudy, and did I mention miserable?

This is the worst sinus infection I've ever had. I would upload pictures of real life, but I'm too lazy today. 

I did, however, make the best vegetarian chili I've ever tasted. MMMmm...

Ok, back to reality. Stupid final exams and papers.

Only 2 more days until I visit my perfect boyfriend.  I've missed him so.

The weather today is absolutely atrocious. All I want to do is sleep, but alas! Finals start in two weeks. I got my new shoes in the mail today. I couldn't wear them, though. Too cold. I bundled up and braved the rain to get to class early for the first time all semester! Ironically, my professor is sick as well and we listened to a guest speaker from career development instead. Wish I'd stayed in bed.

Summer is soon. I can't wait.

Three of my favorite living artists, and a dead one for kicks.

"High Society" by Cecily Brown, "Presentation" by Dana Schutz, "Hybrid" by Jenny Saville (my fucking hero), and "Self Portrait" by Edwin Dickinson, respectively.

Rainy Sunday

I'm missing a certain someone so much that my heart hurts.

Once upon a time, I had quite a collection of nice jewelry. The collection included various necklaces and earrings from Italy and Mexico, my favorite bracelet, which had been passed down from my great grandmother, glass pendants from the Virgin Islands, and so on. Then, in either Madrid or Paris, all of it got stolen. I still miss those things. I'd had them since I was little.

Later that year, my Grandma on Dad's side died and I inherited all

 of her costume jewelry. I took many of the necklaces apart and put them back together in new ways to make them my own.

Also, some earrings I made last night because I couldn't sleep:

My favorite Sunday morning activity is to read PostSecret while I eat breakfast. This morning I discovered something awful: Sunday Secrets no longer exist! What?!? One has to buy the books to see any of them now. Another disheartening sellout. 

A student got stabbed on campus this morning, according to the crime alert message I just received. 

Lastly, I love you, TasteSpotting:

I've been drinking tea and gargling salt water all day in hopes of soothing the painful edema that has overcome my throat...but...no luck so far. In an effort to feel better, I took a walk around the block. I found perfect pink tulips that reminded me of Erin!

I spent the rest of the day organizing, running, cooking, and trying to figure out a schedule for the rest of this semester. I loathe school right now.

In other news, I finally gave in and bought a pair of jodhpur-esque pants a couple weeks ago.

I'm thinking of wearing them with a skinny belt and my new Steve Madden platforms that I should be receiving on Monday (fingers crossed).

I adore anyone who understands the Sophie Mol reference without the aid of a search engine...

That's all for now.
