Tick Tock Tick Tock

I am suppose to be researching something for my internship but I have decided to take a time out to blog. I think it might be therapeutic.

As I have mentioned in my previous blog, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. I don't understand how someone so unemployed and poor can be so busy. I really am the busiest unemployed person I know. Yes, yes, I know. I am a student. It is true. I have class four nights a week and I intern two of those days. But it just feels like everything else in my life is spinning at the same time. I enjoy being busy, I really do. But it has gotten to the point where I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and need a break. Thankfully, after tonight, I will only have class three nights a week. This is how I am going to recuperate. I have made the following list of things to do to relax a little this weekend:

1. Play with the doggies. Perhaps go to a dog park if it's not too rainy.
2. Pay a visit to the creme brulee cart @Fabric8 on Friday.
3. Eat a burrito.
4. Make a batch of cookies for my fun International Taxation class on Thursday.
5. Do my taxes (relaxing only because it's been nagging at me for a while now)
6. Buy something small for myself. Something under $25.00.
7. Read a chapter of the Book of Basketball. <3 you Bill Simmons.
8. Start Season 5 of The Wire.

There. That now I am excited for this week to end. Now I can get back to work. What do you do to relax? Do your relaxing activities revolve around food like mine? <3 you all!

I'm a Talker

I haven't been blogging a lot lately, I know. There are two reasons for this.

First, my life has gotten redonkulously busy. I have classes four nights a week and I intern on Monday and Wednesday. I have dogs and I have family and friends, all of which are not getting sufficient attention. And I have to study. So basically I haven't had the time to apportion (goddamn you State and Local Tax class) the necessary time to blog properly.

Second, I have noticed that I am a talker before a writer. I am a lot better expressing my feelings and emotions through verbal communication. Perhaps this is because in a verbal format, I feel more comfortable adding slang and ungrammatical phrase. Or maybe it's just because I usually talk without thinking, which never happens when I blog. Being a talker first, I feel like I've discussed a lot of potential blog topics with people which makes writing them seem less fresh. I just end up feeling like I'm repeating myself. Maybe I should just keep my potential blog topics to myself and just surprise all five of my readers at once.

But hencehereforth, I will attempt to blog more often. I like to read about my friends lives in their blogs so perhaps I should contribute more to this blogasphere. This shall start today.

By the way, I joined twitter. find me, follow me, love me. Wait until I get internet on my phone and I will be a force to be reckoned with. <3
