Cough cough ack ach blech

Posted on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by Alexandria

So I'm sick.

It all started with the sore throat from hell and my friend encouraging me to go to the health center--which I definitely didn't do.

The sore throat lasted 2 days. Its pretty much gone now but my tastebuds have melted away because my mother told me to drink hot tea. I haven't had hot tea since the 90s. I dont even like hot drinks bc they burn. Hence why I let my hot drinks cool for about an hour before I drink them.

Now my nose is all stuffy and I am coughing occasionally.

Oh that and I had a test today at 9:30 am. I'm pretty sure I failed it. I just was focused on finishing so that I could leave and go to bed. I missed tax class but then again when I'm there I'm not really there. My mind wanders.

Last nite at the library I wasn't feeling well at all. So around 8pm I left to go back to my roo drop my stuff off and then get some din dins and come back to go to sleep. I feel really bad because my friend was at the library by herself when I left. I usually stay with her and try to study something but I really couldn't. She told me that it was alright.

Also she now is sick so she, a mutual friend and I were having a conversation over twitter this morning around 2am-ish about sickness and stuff to that degree. I don't think she got sick from me though. Also I think I got sick from being in fall fest--in the rain--with no umbrella only a hoodie. I didn't think I needed it because it was only drizzling.

Anyways now I'm sick and I don't know what to do. I haven't been sick in like 3 years. I forgot what its like to have twice yearly colds.

Fall Fest

Posted on Saturday, September 26, 2009 by Alexandria

My school doesn't have a homecoming because we have no football team so fallfest is like the homecoming for the soccer team. I stayed around made a couple of appearances because I've never been into fall fest....It's always lacking something in my opinion.

But some of my former residents are involved in the marching band that we have...yes we have a marching band but no football team. When they first formed a few years ago they marched on the basketball court and last year the band was super small. This year was a good year for the band in my opinion. Other than the fact that the guy I like is in charge again of the band. LOL :)

So without further ado....here are the pics I took of my former residents. Mind you its been slightly drizzling all day.







Been a While

Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 by Alexandria

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Mostly due to forgetting or procrastination. I'm horrible at those two.

From my little two week mini challenge I succeeded. Although not allowing myself to use any tools was a dumb idea overall I did see a change in my moisture retention. My hair really has gotten better because I have been consistently moisturizing and sealing it.

Also late last week I put some twists in my hair. They looked horrible but for 3 days I didn't really have to do anything to my hair. Granted it was only the second time I ever did twists in my hair and my hair texture is partially straight--the twists didn't stick like they should and I kept having to retwist them.

So either tonite/this morning when I go back to my room or tomorrow after the gym I will wash my hair.

I would add a picture but I think I deleted the file. I think my next step is to think of other protective styles other than just putting it up.

Until next time!

Day 1 of No tool Challenge

Posted on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 by Alexandria

So I made yesterday the start of my 2 week challenge. I washed my hair around 6pm and moisturized and sealed in the moisture.

Ran my fingers through just a bit. I wasn't even tempted to use a comb or anything.

I have a feeling that my one temptation will be to use bobby pins. So far I've been resisting the urge by tying my hair up higher than usual...In the library I was looking at mugshots and I was extremely bored so I took a icture of myself.

I call it my mugshot....in jest because I never intend to get arrested or have a mugshot. Hence why I'm smiling because no one ever smiles in their mugshot.....I took this picture in the library while I was going through a period of non-studiousness.
