Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! :)

I didn't have a special someone to spend time with this Valentines Day (boohoo lol who cares. just have fun!!) but I helped my roommate with a surprise birthday party for her friend. I feel like I did almost all of the work getting our dorm room ready though... she wasn't even home till noon. Oh well there was good chocolate cake so it's ok. The ganache we made did not work out properly since my roommate put in too much cream when I wasn't looking, so it's more of a glaze now. I swear I told her we're only making 2/3 of the recipe... but she never listens to me when it comes to following directions. But we figured out it goes great with clementines/tangerines whatever those little oranges are called. (I seriously can't tell the difference between them) Interesting combo that we will enjoy for a few more days.

I have a lot of homework left now that I finished most of the cleaning up afterwards. Time to cram for exams!!

longboard!

I recently bought myself a new longboard for cruising around campus and such (who knows, I might learn some tricks when the weather gets nice) and I can't wait for it to come in the mail!!!!! I'm a complete beginner when it comes to skateboarding in general but hopefully longboarding will be more forgiving. The head of the longboarding club at my college was nice enough to help me choose my first board. He really is a great guy, he's been so patient with me asking so many questions.

Here's what I'm expecting to get!! An Earthwing Superglider ! Now the thing is there's a little story behind me choosing this board. At first I really wanted a Bigfish V-lam, but it was way out of my price range. I really loved looking through the boards, and giving up on the Bigfish was a bit of a dilemma for a poor college kid like me. I eventually chose the superglider and ordered it, but the guy from the longboarding club came back with an offer with some people selling a used Bigfish for a great price.

...

:[ I think you can imagine my surprise. My Superglider had already shipped at that point, and I've decided to take that as a sign that maybe the Bigfish just wasn't meant for me. Goodbye v-lam, we just weren't meant for each other right now. Maybe in the future when I have a few hundred bucks to spend I'll see you again. lol

So... I'm a bit broke at the moment as you can tell. I'm still sick, and I SHOULD be typing my essay. But my professors don't need to know that. I may upload photos of me falling off while practicing on my new board once it arrives. It's scheduled to come next week.

I'm having a very hard time being patient right now. ;)

From my Tegaki account. It's really relaxing to doodle every now and then. :)

Wow, I feel like I've been neglecting a lot of things lately. I started having an itchy throat a few days ago and now it's a fully-developed cold. I think I'll be down in bed for a while longer. My headache is not getting better with the partying neighbors in my dorm slamming the doors so often. (and screaming happy birthday, that doesn't help either)

I've decided I want to try and get a skateboard when I can afford it to ride to class. I don't think I can afford a bike and leave it outside in the snow, but skateboards are allowed to be stored in the dorm rooms. I can't wait!

Moved in!

Okay, so all my stuff is in my new room now. (well, not quite lol I noticed I forgot some things like my umbrella so I'll have to have them sent later...) I'd love to share photos but I haven't met my roommate yet (weird, huh?) and I think she probably won't appreciate me taking pictures without her being here.

SO here's a partial pic of my bed with my new Snoopy plushie that a friend gave me for Christmas. ^^

Ah, I miss my little Petey... I'm too used to having him wake me up in the morning. I hope he's doing well with my parents back at home.

Missing my kitties...

引っ越しの日まであと三日！　あぁ～、出来れば猫たちも連れて行きたい！　大学の寮に入って一番寂しいのはペットがいないこと。 クラフトの材料も持っていくか迷ってます。　夏にはまた荷物を全部まとめて家に持って返らなきゃいけないのがちょっと問題。　無理やりでも毛糸は少し持っていくつもりです。　荷物が多すぎる～！！！
Ah, only a few more days till I move to my new dorm room. I'm already missing my house with all my little fuzzballs running around. If I could afford an apartment I would definitely take one or two of my cats with me. I'm also having issues with what craft supplies to bring. I'm giving up on my jewelry supplies but I'll try to bring some yarn and my crochet needles with me along with my art supplies.

My cat Panther playing with the faucet again. He never quits!





義理姉からもらった古着。ちょっと隙を見せたらパンサー君のベッドに早代わり。
I was looking through some clothes my sister-in-law gave me. I think Panther likes her fashion-sense lol.

Panther loves Victoria's Secret! My dog cookie does not approve...

Happy New Year everyone!!! Sorry for not uploading anything lately, but I've been a tad busy.

I'll be moving to my new dorm later this month and starting classes at a whole new university. I'm so excited but anxious at the same time. I'll be shopping next week for a few things that I'll need. One of my friends was thoughtful enough to get me an adorable new shoulder bag for books and such for my Christmas present. (Now if only it was about an inch wider it would have fit my laptop lol but of course I shouldn't be picky.) I don't know how my friend figured out I love owls in a vintage style illustration, because that was the pattern on the bag! I'll post a photo soon for all to see. :)

only one more final and I'm done with school for the semester!!! woohoo!
