Friday Night's Alright for Vegging

I have finished my classes for the semester.  One week and I'll be halfway done with undergrad (hooray for high school credits!)!  Remember when I blogged about dead week a few days ago?  Funny thing.  This past dead week was the most low-stress one I've had yet.  It has also left me the most "dead."    So dead that I completely forgot to take a picture of a sun-flare for the 30 Day Photo Challenge.  I was too busy focusing on staying awake while walking.  Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot...

My intentions when I got home from school around 3:45 were to throw on some PJs, watch Gilmore Girls, do some laundry and eventually go to the store to get more ingredients for crack dip (Because I am having withdrawals).  Instead, I put on my pajamas, watched about 10 minutes of Gilmore Girls, and apparently fell dead asleep because suddenly it was 6:45 and I was waking up wondering where I was and how I got there (Don't you love those naps?).  I think I would have gladly stayed in bed in that "What?" state for the rest of the evening but I had to pee (I know, lovely blog topic. My brain still hasn't really flipped from nap mode to writing-for-all-the-interwebz-to-see mode).

Does anyone else ever feel sick after a really good nap?  I had a post nap headache and my tummy and sense of balance were not pleased about having been woken up.  Thank goodness for funny looking gel eye masks that you can keep in the fridge.  They make you look ridiculous but they do wonders on a headache.

Headaches make me loopy.

Oh, look.  There is a face under that mask...

This post nap haze made laundry doing a bit dangerous.  Too much risk of accidentally washing red and whites together and pink is just not my color.  And if laundry is dangerous, driving to the grocery store is definitely out of the question.  Which really only leaves one viable option: Jimmy Johns. Never mind the fact that I had Jimmy John's for dinner last night  and that I really should be saving money for Christmas present instead of sandwiches.

If you haven't had Jimmy John's, I pity you.  And think that you should find your nearest Jimmy Johns and digest the delicious glory.  I would definitely recommend the Turkey Tom.  Extra Mayo. YUM.  And the best part is that they bring this deliciousness right to your doorstep, so you don't even have to put on real people clothes or brush your hair.  Yes, ladies and gents, I answered the door looking like this: 

Poor, unsuspecting delivery guy.  Don't worry, he got a good tip.

At least I took the mask off.

And within 30 seconds, I looked like this:

And shortly after, I looked like this because I was done with my sandwich:

So there you have it.  My Friday night.  And it has been absolutely perfect.  Nights out with friends and family are always fun.  But at the end of a long week, there's really nothing better than spending an evening alone wearing pajamas, watching TV, eating Jimmy John's and vegging in a post-nap haze.  And Pinterest.  It's really not a properl veg night without Pinterest. :)

And now, I plan to spend the rest of my night watching Gilmore Girls and debating whether or not I should eat this blowpop.  And then I will top off the night by going to bed early.  I know, you're so jealous :)

Goodnight, all :)

Stupid Walls

Dead Week has arrived at good ol' L.S. of U. And for the first time in the history of ever, I actually have a dead "Dead Week"—No tests, no projects due, nothing stressful on my calendar for the next 7 days.  It's wonderful!  So today, I went to my 8:30 class, came home immediately after because the rest of my classes were canceled, and gave my body one last day of rest before I go into full-fledged psycho-studying-for-finals mode.  I took a nap, I watched some Gilmore Girls and vegged. It was glorious.  And I arose ready to face the world and a project that I have due next Tuesday.

Then that lovely wall that always somehow rears its ugly head made its ugly entrance.

You want to know what a huge pet peeve of mine is? (Warning: Tangent Ahead!)  Teachers that require fancy software for classes.  Take this semester, for example:  I had a teacher that required fancy software that you absolutely needed if you wanted to complete your midterm or final project.  Sure, we meet in a lab that has the software once a week, but that lab time needs to be used to actually learn the things you will need to apply to these projects.  So really, you need this (Windows Only) software to succeed in this class, which, if you were a Mac person like me, meant either tainting your Mac with Windows and opening it up to viruses or buying a freaking PC.  I ended up buying a PC, which has worked out just fine because some of my other class's textbooks included supplemental CDs that were only PC compatible.   BUT this software is a student edition of a full-fledged transcription software, meaning you can't actually install it onto your PC.  So when the information you need for this project is posted in the format of the software, you can't actually open the information because your computer doesn't recognize the program as one that can open files because you can't install the software onto the computer because it is a student edition.  And the free lab to work on this final project was cancelled for one reason or another leaving me (and I'm sure a ton of other students) stuck. *Insert explicative here*

Stupid Wall.

So what does this mean for you?  Nothing much other than the fact that I am now blogging out my frustrations because I can't work on my project.

It also means that it's time for 30 Day Photo Challenge Day 21: Pretty Pattern!


I absolutely adore scarves.  They're adorable,  they're versatile and they're warm!  My scarf obsession started my junior year of high school when I went to Spain with my choir  and there were street vendors selling scarves all over the place for 4 or 5 euros apiece.  I've been hooked ever since.

This is about 1/3 or my scarf collection.  See the one in the middle?  I got that one at a Rest Stop in Spain and it's one of my favorites!  It doesn't keep me as warm as some of the others do but it's so pretty!

Well, I guess it's time for me to put on my big girl pants and start studying for exams.  I've been given the gift of a real "Dead Week."  I should probably take advantage of it
