Happy Earth Day everyone! I don't think we need to have a day specifically dedicated to cherishing what Mother Earth does for us everyday. I saw a quote that I absolutely love and think is perfect for today: "Just remember that the earth doesn't need you to survive, but you need the earth to survive." Or at least it had something to that affect. But it's totally true. If anything we are the ones killing it. So please try to be conscious of how you treat our Mother Earth.
So I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been so behind on school work. Well not really behind, but I feel like I don't have enough time to do everything that I need to by the time classes are done. I still have yet to finish my history book that I wanted to have done by today. I still have 40 pages to go... I'm hoping that I can have it finished by tomorrow or Friday. Then I can work on the paper, and once that's done I can work on the other book and essay that I have to do. And during all of that, I also need to be working on putting together a presentation for my other history class. So far I think I can pull through with those but I'm very worried about my grammar class. I have never struggled so much with a class in my life. I'm not used to it so I've been really stressed about it. My first exam I got a low C and just received a 12/25 on my online exam. So tomorrow I'm going to have a meeting with my professor on how I'm doing overall in the class because I need to receive a high enough grade to keep up my GPA. I really don't want one class to bring down my entire GPA. Especially since I need that GPA for my GI Bill benefits. But I got a 100% on my history exam which I was not expecting! Not that I'm complaining. But that's why I haven't really been blogging or updating my social media. I just feel like I don't have time. I kind of forced myself to strategically have time to watch American Horror Story. So once I get my head on straight again, I will start hooping more and updating my social media.

| Well, I have finally experienced my first Netflix binge. I finished all 4 seasons of American Horror Story in a week. If you calculate that, that is a depressingly long amount of time. I could have been doing so much more with my life. I could probably be done with one of my essays by now. Nothing I can do about that now. I can definitely say that my favorite season by far was the first season. Although I wasn't a fan of how it ended. I think it could have been so much better. And the other seasons were entertaining, but they didn't hook me in and shock me like the |
first season. There were so many cliff hangers and shocking twists that I feel like the other 3 seasons were missing. I actually thought that the other 3 seasons were pretty predictable. But the first season is definitely worth watching! I would suggest it to everyone! And it's kind of all I've been talking about since I saw it. Truthfully I would re-watch it again right now if I could. But I did some research and found that there is going to be a season 5 which takes place in a hotel. I don't know what to expect
because most of the gossip sites that I've looked at say that season 5 is going to be reinvented. Let's see if that is a good thing. They also said that all of the seasons are somehow connected. I did notice that but I don't think it will make sense if they are just because they use all of the same actors; they're just different characters. If they're all connected, that means that all of the characters have some major doppelgangers. Which, I mean, that wouldn't be so weird for this show. They've had some pretty weird things that didn't make sense with the plot. But again, we'll have to see. I'm kind of excited that I can watch it with my roommate, Shelby, because she's pretty obsessed with this show. Last year she'd |
always watch it with our friend, Derek. My best friend, Emily, was actually the one who really convinced me to start watching it. I've told myself that once I get everything done for this semester, I'm going to start Breaking Bad. If I don't get into the first couple of episodes, I'm going to try Dexter since I've also always been curious about it and Deidre's watching it right now. She says that it's really good. I don't know what season she's on but it's probably 2 or 3. She first kept asking me what I'm going to do now that I finished American Horror Story and I kept telling her that now, "I can get sh*t done." Now she keeps saying that I'm going to find another show to binge watch. I'm not going to let that happen. I really do need to get this stuff done. And I'd like to gt it all done sooner than later so that I can still cherish my last bit of time during school to hang out with friends. Although I still won't really hang out with friends if I'm binge watching a show... We'll figure it out.
And I dyed my hair again! This time it actually came out as blue. I mean, I did really like the greenish color that it was before, but my original plan had been to go blue. I think both colors look really good on me though. I would have kept it for a little longer if it weren't for the fact that blonde was starting to come through and people kept asking me if I'd dyed it again. I think the new blue really brings out the blue in my eyes. I also started wearing makeup again. Well I guess I shouldn't say that because it's only been 2 days in a row that I've done it and I'm not sure if I'm going to tomorrow. I already have to wake up early to shower and go to my meeting. Although I've had a lot more energy lately because I've been sleeping through the night (minus last night). *Knock on wood.* That hasn't happened since I was a Sophomore in high school. Maybe the curse has finally been broken! But I should probably stop talking about it otherwise I'm not going to be able to sleep through the night again. I'm sorry this post is so late. I really wanted to do it sooner, but I kept getting distracted. Have a wonderful night loves.
