Schools out, I have the apartment to myself, theres nothing on tv. I still have a couple more days before I have to go back to work, and back into the real world, but for now I am enjoying my long weekend. The past couple of days I have been slouching around, reading and watching Gilmore Girls (of course) and a bunch of random shows online. But I think today is my day to be at least somewhat productive. So updating my blog is on my list of productive things to get done along with cleaning my room, cleaning the rest of my apartment, returning some letters, doing laundry – basically just things that are not as exciting as blogging.

So a while ago, after returning from a trip to one of my favorite city’s BERKELEY I went on a henna craze and me and my friends would get together every weekend and henna ourselves and each other. I would have continued decorating my skin with the stuff, if I hadn’t run out, but it was definitely fun while it lasted, and I will continue to try out new designs once I stock up on some more. Anyway, here are a few examples of some of the designs.

Day in the park at Berkeley with my friends Priya (left) and Johnalyn (right), I think all of these were done by Priya

I added the Egyptian eye myself.....

This is my handiwork (no pun intended) on my roommate Dayana's hand

Priya's design on my hand

My design on my own hand

A combo of mine and priyas on my hands, this is by far my favorite look, partly because of how dark they came out, and I believe it lasted for about a week, I remember this is how my hands looked for the first week of school Spring semester. Seems so long ago….

For the past 3 nights in a row I have gone to bed was between 5am and 6am for the first 2 nights it was to study for my final on Wednesday. Then Wednesday night after work I decided to take a night off from studying and hangout with friends, but we ended up talking until the wee hours of the night.

But here I am now, on campus studying for my last 2 finals which will be tomorrow. I’m sure I won’t actually post this until later, but I felt like typing it now just because I needed a slight diversion from studying for a few minutes ( I’m doing some extreme multitasking at the moment, I have like 9 different tabs open on my browser right now, switching back and forth between music and studying and more music and reminders and now this blog post)

Speaking of music, that’s the reason I wanted to blog anyway. Just in the past couple hours of sitting here and working on my final study guides, I have fallen in love with a new musician and a new band (well, they’re new to me) the band being AWOLNATION – which began with my obsession with they’re song sail, but I ended up listening to what I believe to be their entire cd and LOOOOOOVE IT! Also I just got into Hugo. I’ve been hearing his cover of jay z’s 99 problems on the radio (94.7) for a while now, but I just heard a bunch of his other songs now which turned out to be pretty fucking awesome.

Ok. I need to bring an end to this diversion and get back to studying
