daily routine: blog reading

blog reading (day 28 of the 30 day photo challenge: daily routine)

Although it pains me to admit it, one of my favorite daily routines is catching up with all my favorite blogs. I like to think that it keeps me inspired and will make me a better blogger… but it’s also procrastination. This is definitely a habit that I must avoid once school starts!

First day of classes is tomorrow and I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve been at school! I’m not looking forward to working so hard… wish me luck!

This photo is part of oh so lovely’s 30 Day Photo Challenge. Today is Day 28: Daily Routine.

my creative space this week…

…is a mess.

studying and shipping

I got to use my fancy new tape on that narwhal box! I’m in the midst of studying like crazy for my thermodynamics exam tomorrow… colored pens are the key to good equation sheets. I’ve also got a German exam, then I’m heading straight home for break. Cramming, studying, packing, shipping, sleeping, driving… it’s all got to get done somehow. let’s go!

home sweet home away from home

beautiful backpack & back-to-school shoesI’m all moved in to my fancy new apartment-style dorm. This may be the only perk of being an upperclassman, but it’s a good one! We (there are 4 of us in my suite) get air conditioning and a nifty little kitchen (with dishwasher!). I’m delighting in the freedom of cooking my own food; a challenge, sure, but I love it. It will become more difficult to keep myself well-fed once the work piles up, but hey, it’s day 3. Not much homework yet.

But I do have some homework today, which is probably why you’re hearing from me. I haven’t had anything to procrastinate from for a whole week plus some! Why blog??

I haven’t been taking enough pictures lately (shame, shame!) and my new camera feels quite neglected. I’ll have to take it for a Cleveland photo walk soon… but for now, here are small snapshots of my new room.

bobbins on the wall
My mini bulletin board full of bobbins on the wall… it makes me happy.

animals (whales!) closet curtain
I bought this curtain at a thrift store simply for the fabric… whales! Then I realized it was the exact size I needed for my closet. Perfect.

I made some windowseat cushions for the boys’ suite… they’re pretty awesome. Photos of those to come next!
