It's finally Thursday, which means two things: I'm done with classes for this semester, and it's time for another awkward and awesome post. So, here it goes...

Awkward:

• How lost I got on the way to school this morning. You would think that if the ramp back onto the highway is closed, they would let you know before you got off on that exit.
• Being late for class the for the first time this semester...on my last day of classes.
• Being really excited about getting a cherry ICEE float from BK, then getting home and realizing they forgot to put in ice cream, so it was just a regular ICEE. The BK here is kind of horrible.
• The fact that I have accounting homework due tomorrow even though the last class was yesterday.
• Realizing I'm allergic to OxiClean...while using OxiClean. My hands look ridiculous.
• How dark my hair looks in these pictures. I need to go home and get this taken care of, like right now.
• My Mom making me try to teach her to hula hoop in the middle of Target last week.

Awesome:

• Getting three pairs of shoes for $40. (That's what happens when I have to run to Target to get OxiClean)
• Being done with classes, and only having to go to campus two days next week for exams.
• Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips. I'm thinking about doing a post about them soon.
• Haagen Daaz Zesty Lemon Sorbet.
• The fact that you can close the top on Monster Lite energy drinks now. It makes carrying them around all day so much easier. I don't know if this is a new thing or not, but I hadn't had one in a while and I was excited when I noticed that this morning.
• My Mom learned to hula hoop. I'm so proud. Really though, she has been trying to hula hoop for as long as I can remember, and she was never able to do it.
• Realizing there is a Zara 15-ish minutes from my mom's house. I am making her go shopping with me next time I go visit her.

Awkward, Awesome, and Cardigan Free!

These shoes are the most uncomfortable things in the entire world. I've worn them two days in a row trying to convince myself otherwise, but that didn't work. When I bought them I thought they were just going to be one of those pairs of shoes that you had to wear a few times before they started to get more comfortable. Not the case considering I got these the summer before I started high school. Wow, that makes me feel old.

Anyway, awkward and awesome is back this week. Even though this week wasn't really very awesome or awkward.

Awesome:

• My mom is coming to visit this weekend.
• She just called me and told me that she is bringing me a bag of coffee from Caribou. 
• There are only two weeks of classes and one week of exams left in this semester.
• The weather is supposed to be in the 70's one day this week. (It's going to be pouring though)
• Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. So easy to use, and they look amazing!

Awkward:

• The amount of elderly men "running" in the tightest pants ever made I see on my drive to school every day.
• The looks I got when I stood in the aisle at target staring at the bleach for what seemed like hours trying to find one that was chlorine free. Why couldn't they write "Chlorine Free" in big letters to make it easier?
• The fact that I have to try and figure out a way to fit all of my clothes in my closet tonight/tomorrow before my mom gets here on Saturday. I need a dresser.
• Girls that walk around campus in sheer leggings. Do they not check to see if their tush is visible before they leave the house?

Alright, I'm off to clean the house. 

Hope everyone has had a great week so far!

P.S. You will probably never hear me say that I am going to clean ever again.

P.P.S. Any one who knows me probably just had a heart attack when they read that I was going to clean.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone! 

Now, before you go getting your pinchers out, let me tell you that I carried all my books in an emerald green tote bag today. So, I wasn't a complete rebel.

Awkward:

• The middle-aged man in the car behind me getting out of his car at a red light to change his shirt and belt.
• The light turning green while the man was changing.
• Only like 10 people showing up to each of my classes today. With about 6 people in each class being drunk, or part way there.
• Working on a burn test assignment for my textiles class in a study room on campus and causing the entire hallway to smell like burnt popcorn.
• The girl sitting in front of me in class wearing a glittery headband, complete with giant shamrocks on springs. That stopped being cute about 15 years ago.

Awesome:

• There's only six weeks left in this semester, then I'm free of everything education-related until August.
• It is in the 60's today, and sunny. Spring has finally arrived in Michigan.
• My teachers letting me turn in assignments online so that I don't have to drive 40 minutes to campus tomorrow.
• Getting an A on the clothing line I had to help design as part of a group project for class.
• My weekend starting on Thursday afternoons.
• My possible class schedule for next semester. If everything goes as planned, I'll only have to drive out to campus twice a week.
