You know what I want to get into? Meditation. That sounds silly, I know but I've always enjoyed it when I have done it. It gives you a chance to focus, relax, and filter out everything else going on in your life. And at this point in my life, it's exactly what I probably need. Also: I'm too wimpy for yoga.
Part of this is fueled by Ashleigh telling me how into meditation she is. Everything I do in life is to become slightly more like Ashleigh. Also, studies have shown that those who meditate can focus better and I definitely need that. Cause it's not like I'm writing this while sitting in cell bio or anything... Seriously this class is so boring. We're learning right now that translation occurs in the cytosol- who doesn't know this?? But it's not just cell biology. This semester I'm having a really hard time paying attention in general.
Maybe it's because it's my last semester. Maybe it's just because I'm tired of school and I know it's almost over. I know I used to be able to sit through whole lectures and pay complete attention the whole time. I did it just a few months ago! Somehow though, I lost that. Distractions are everywhere. I can't even take notes without getting distracted and my attempts to stop myself from doodling is getting a little ridiculous.

 

 

(By the way everyone should read Nimona) 

What was this all about again? Oh yeah, meditation. I should start doing that. See how I'm even getting distracted on here? I have no sense of focus. There's a problem though- I don't exactly have a place to meditate. Our apartment is small and  there's no place I can really "get away" to. Cause there's no way I'm going to be able to meditate in my room or bathroom when Pancake, Ellie and my laptop are present. Please don't judge me if you start hearing rumors about me locking myself in my closet.
This was the first year in a long time that I did not buy valentines. (Not that I didn't try... Would have gotten those disney princess valentines but an adorable little girl stole them from my cart and I didn't have the heart to take them from her) didn't have the time to search for cool ones cause we were just that busy at work. Although I did have a guy propose to his girlfriend at my table valentines day night and it was super cute. She said yes, obviously. Otherwise it probably would have been less cute. But more entertaining.
Sarah visited last wednesday which marks the highlight for my week. We were able to find Sarah a fabulous dress for the oscars party we're having. When I say fabulous I mean fabulous. And I'm kinda jealous it fit her and not me. I mean, we're talking red carpet glamour. It's got beads- it's got pearls. It's got class. I don't think i'll be able to find one that compares.
Last week I also reread all of Sailor Moon. When I say all, I mean all  from beginning to end. It was a walk down memory lane. Pretty much my whole childhood and it was just as great as I remember it. Which is why I'm now forcing Robbie to watch the anime.

Sailor moon just gets me.
I feel like I relate to her a lot more now that I'm older. Which may not be the best thing to be honest. Ha!
