With the coming of reading week, assignments and midterms have hit. Luckily mine have been sort of spread out–two midterms, design charette, and a paper due this week and two midterms, a presentation and a literature review due the week after reading week. However, prepping for this design charette has taken up much of my study time. Had to add two extra meetings with my group this past week. One extra three and a half hour meeting on Thursday and one today. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do though to impress not only the prof but the people from the city who might select our designs for actual proposals in the future.

However, I have still managed to find some time this weekend to go out and do the things I love: catching up with a friend over brunch, shopping, mitts, pj shorts, shopping for gifts for loved ones, ice creamx2, wings and pizza, drinks all around, watching house, hanging with friends who don’t care at how badly I suck at video games, watching himym, having the heater fixed, and naps <3

“sometimes i need music to block out my own thoughts”

Even during the hustle and bustle of the school year when my mind should be filled with thoughts of assignments, tests and readings, I like to try to find comfort in my daily daydreams. So the current daydream is that we’ll have a house with a puppy palace (both of which i can decorate) for our dogs (a golden lab; a golden retriever; maybe a chocolate lab (all of these will be sweet and fearless puppies); a small, cute and dumb puppy and maybe a english sheep dog). On top of all this there will be a pond in the backyard for some ducks, a pen for a piggy and we’ll have deer and a kevin (from UP!) which will live in the wilderness around the house and come visit our backyard for some food. Seems like a lot of animals huh? Oh well I can’t wait if this ever comes true. I’ll be happily satisfied with just the puppy palace though. Puppies just seem to make me smile! Hopefully I can get away with just playing with them and cuddling with them while someone else takes them out for jogs and bathroom breaks hehe xP. Anyway I guess I shall return back to reality right now and start thinking about that load of readings I should get started on soon.

Later days
