Day 81

Hey all!

Today I spent the first half of the day (as well as all of yesterday) writing a paper which I originally thought was supposed to be 7-10 pages.  Apparently I made the 7 up, it was a 10 page paper people!  Needless to say, I was stressed and crazy, pumping out some extra pages.  Sorry I didn't blog yesterday but I was in the midst of this intense paper situation.  I'm back now!

I had a big dinner to go to and help out with tonight, so after I finished my paper I was working on that.  Then I hung out with friends, came back to my apartment where some more friends came to visit, and then cleaned my room.  I guess it was a pretty eventful day.  Oh, then of course I made some earrings.

Day 80

Hey all!

Today I spent most of the day working on my paper, but I did manage to waste a little time (would you expect anything less?).  I also bought Tina Fey's book, which I am dying to read.  As soon as I'm done blogging, that's what I'm going to do.  I'm pretty sure Tina Fey beats sleep on my life to-do list right now.

The earrings I made today use the same gold rings I bought and used yesterday.

Day 79

Hey all!

It's 2 am again, which is not surprising but means my blogging is going to be a little rushed.  I need to sleep, wake up kind of early, and get tons of work done tomorrow.  I hope I successfully complete these goals... we'll see.

The earrings I made today use some gold rings I just got from AC Moore today.  They may not be the fanciest rings I've ever used, but they certainly do the trick.

Day 78

Hey all!

Today I woke up early to finish the work that I hadn't finished the night before.  I got it all done literally minutes before class started.  It worked for this week but I don't think I can pull this last last last minute strategy again anytime soon, it was way too stressful.

The rest of the day consisted of class, job searching online, dinner with a friend, and a bowling game in the evening.  It's an exciting life I lead!

I tried something a little different with the earrings for today.

Day 77

Hey all!

Today I went to Starbucks with the intention of doing work all day.  Going there with two friends turned out to be a terribly misguided plan, and I am now trying to get all that procrastinated work done.  Other highlights of today included an intramural volleyball game (which we lost but enjoyed) and celebrating a friend's birthday.

I skipped blogging yesterday because I was just so tired.  I revealed to you my plan to make jewelry earlier in the day but I have not yet put this plan into action.  Instead, I'm here at 2 am blogging from my bed.

Here are today's lovely earrings:

Day 76

Hey all!

Ah, 2 am, we have got to stop meeting like this.  Right now I'm in bed, trying to blog as fast as possible so that I may get some sleep.  New goal:  make earrings and blog earlier in the day so I won't feel the need to rush, so I can stop feeling like the blog is the only thing standing between me and sleep.  As it is, that's sort of the feeling I'm having tonight.  Bear with me as I rush to tell you about my day and my earrings, this problem will be resolved soon enough!

Tonight was my gallery opening.  We worked really hard to put the whole exhibit together and it was very successful.  A lot of people came to see the exhibit, and many of my friends came and showed support.  It was just an overall lovely night and I'm so proud of the way it turned out.

That's just a view of part of the exhibit, to give you a little taste of what it was like.

On to the earrings!  Tonight I went simple and classic (well, my kind of classic).  Top bead plain, second bead wrapped in wire.

Day 75

Hey all!

Tonight's post is going to be short because, let's face it, I need some sleep.  Regardless, blogging is a pretty important part of my day so I am pushing to get this done before my head hits the pillow.

Today I was in the gallery for a lot of the day and didn't really accomplish all that much.  Our show is tomorrow!  I hope lots of people will come to the opening and it will be a lot of fun.  It's going to be a push to get everything done tomorrow but I'm sure it will all be worth it, it's a really cool experience and I'm glad I got to take part in it.

Onto the earrings.  Today I made some blue-green earrings to match the teal dress I think I'm going to wear tomorrow night.
