The Fashion Citizen!

Hello, mini break from never ending bio homework and prelabs. I just wanted to take the time to show everyone my favorite youtubers! I used to never watch youtube videos, but my sister and cousin introduced me to the fashion side of youtube! Now I can't get enough. The Fashion Citizen girls are such great advice givers when it comes to fashion and their videos. I wish that I had the skills they do of picking out gems at thrift stores!

Terra Nova and editing essays.

Helloo there!
I really really like this show Terra Nova. It's a great show and I need to watch it more. Regarding my last post. I HAVE APPLIED TO 5 COLLEGES. My nails look gross and my hair is repulsive,but hey I'm a college applicant! :) The 1st marking period of school is over friday. WOOOT.30 weeks left of senior year. I really hope that my grades are decent. I'm only worried about Spanish. Anywho check out these awesome earrings! They were from a little store in my town. The greatest place ever. :)

English is far more important than writing this, although i wish it wasn't.
TOODLES :-)

i'm listening to Christmas music.

But only because it's the new She&Him album.  SO, haven't blogged in a million years.  That's what happens when I take 4 AP classes and apply to college. But on the bright side, tomorrow I should be sending off my first 3 applications. :) That brings me so much joy.  It's been a rough past few weeks trying to get all these silly college things taken care of. I also had to write 18 logs for English this week, we are reading personal narratives. Marching Band regular season finishes up on Sunday! I'm so excited for our show! Anyhow, this a blog post to swear to myself and anyone who reads this. I will blog. OFTEN.

until next time,
MT

this always cheers up my stressed out self.

i like reading.

Hello, hope all is well!
Summer vaction is coming to a close, how exciting. I'm a senior this year, the big girl in town. I just finished my summer reading/ writing for AP English last week when it was due, and I thought I would share my own personal summer reading list, which is wayyyy better than the one assigned to me. (Don't worry, I read all the boring books too.)

Books!
1. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larson
2. Smashed by Koren Zailckas
3. The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
4. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Those titles were some of my favorites, but for sure not all of the books I read this summer.

best night ever.

Hello!  Quick post, and then it's back to college applications and research.
Yesterday, I went to the Gavin DeGraw, Train, and Maroon 5 concert at my State Fair. OH my goodness, it was amazing. Train is one of my favorite bands and they were so fantastic I just about cried. The show was outstanding, and I danced and sang my life away. It was the perfect definition of summer. Ahh. I made a playlist of all the songs they sang so I can come back to it in the winter and reminisce. Now, listen to these and tell me you don't want to smile.

saturdays

Hi to you lovely people! I hope you had a great week. Week 1 of band camp is officially over and I am extremely happy to say it was a success. Of course we got yelled at multiple times, did far to many push ups and listened to a fantastic story about Tinkerbell (twice) but we also learned half of our show! It's coming along quite swimmingly. Also in the news, I got a Christmas gift (I'm aware, its January) from family friends and It is wonderful! It's a Vera Bradley "Taxi Wallet" and its about everything a teenage girl  could ask for in a small wallet. Saturdays are one of the two days I don't have band in the summer, so I worked 8-2, went to the thrift store for 15 minutes and then came home expecting to go to my boyfriends house. Unfortunately, plans don't always work out around here, so I stayed home and studied for ACTS and (wait for it, wait for it) cleaned my closet! Two hours later it looks great, and I even got a " Great use of time" from my momma :). It is all organized and fancy, which is quite opposite of my personality, so I can only imagine how long it will remain like this. Then I decided to work on my AP English homework and update my blog and Tumblr. So here I am. I will blog again shortly!

major slacking.

HELLO, I am so busy it is crazy. Two weeks ago I made a crazy trip to Boston and visited 9 colleges. It was lovely. And then I worked everyday the next week, and I also had marching band everyday. Tomorrow starts Band Camp, the most wonderful two weeks of summer. Sarcasm, if you can't tell. It's gonna be a party. I also will have to work in between 3 hour practices and write a letter to my AP English teacher, fill out a college application, write an essay, and get a parking pass for school. This is really just a Landry list for my own use. Also, memorize marching band music. WOOOOT. so I will leave you with the wonders of Foster the People. Good day to you.
