I don't have any Halloween plans this year so I thought it would be fun to show you guys an old Halloween photo. This picture is of me and my cousin in 1993. I was Princess Belle and she was a bride. I think I remember being jealous of her bride costume, LOL. However, I think it was because I had to wear a jacket, that didn't match I might add, while we were trick-or-treating and she didn't have to because she had long sleeves. Oh well, I'm sure I still had fun. I remember being almost every Disney Princess that existed. My favorite costume was Princess Jasmine. Too bad I couldn't find photos from that year. This year I probably will just stay home and watch Netflix. No scary movies though. I don't do scary movies, LOL. Do you have any plans for Halloween this year? Happy Halloween everyone!
The first three weeks of October I was in a rut. I wrote down many ideas and made many plans but when it came down to the execution, I couldn't do it. I've been struggling with motivation, in many aspects of my life. So for the last three weeks I've been sticking to simpler activities that don't require much thought or creativity. I spent a lot of time on the computer and my kindle playing Farmville 2. However, this post is not about games. It's about Netflix. From the 1st to the 23rd, there were only three days that I didn't watch Netflix. I haven't been watching movies either. I've been watching TV shows. Some days I only managed to watch a couple of episodes but most days I would watch about five episodes. There were even a couple days when I watched more than ten episodes. That's crazy, right?
My binge started because of The Vampire Diaries. Season 6's season premiere was on October 2nd. I started re-watching all the episodes back in July. I finished season 4 in the beginning of September. At the time, season 5 wasn't available yet. Then, of course, Netflix added season 5 only two days before season 6's premiere. I decided that I had to finish season 5 before watching the new season. Thus, the binge started. After finishing The Vampire Diaries, I discovered Netflix's newest addition: Gilmore Girls. Thus, the binge continued. I'd been waiting years for Netflix to add Gilmore Girls. And I was so happy that they did. About five days in, I finished season 1. Then I discovered something else. Netflix added season 3 of Hart of Dixie. I love Hart of Dixie more than Gilmore Girls so I decided to start watching it instead of continuing with Gilmore Girls. Since it's been awhile since I've watched Hart of Dixie I decided to start from the beginning.
For the last two weeks, I've solely been watching Hart of Dixie. I'm actually almost finished with season 3. For some weird reason, it's been three whole days since I've Netflix. That's the longest time I've gone since September. I'm not sure what's happened, it's like something changed in me. I think I realized that school is started soon and I really need to get into a routine again. I'm still going to continue with watching my shows on Netflix. But, I think the binge has ended.
On a side note, how weird is it that all three shows are based in small towns? Weird.
Okay, I really suck at blogging. It has been over a month since my last post. I've been having a hard time lately finding motivation for creative things. I've mostly just been watching cable tv and netflix. However, both my life and my schedule will be changing for the better in about a week. Back in September, I was getting ready to start college. I was already enrolled in classes but my financial aid was still processing. I also didn't know what I wanted to major in. Well, many changes have been made since then. On the first day of classes, I dropped out. My financial aid money still hadn't arrived and I had no way to pay for transportation or books. I decided that going back to college just wasn't meant to be. I already have an associate's degree in business management. Besides, I don't think a BA in art is really that necessary.
Although I'm not going back to college, I am doing something else. Last year, before I moved to Georgia, I was considering going to beauty school for esthetics, aka skin care. My plans got put on hold to help out family and the idea was pushed to the back of my mind. Back in July when I was applying for college, I had considered going to beauty school but I didn't feel like it was right for me. I've never really been a beauty person. I don't care about makeup and I haven't really put much consideration into hair and fashion. After I dropped my classes in September I tried to figure out what to do with my life. Then I reconsidered beauty school. I realized that I'm more into beauty than I thought. So without hesitation, I applied for the school, met with them for an interview, and enrolled in the program, all in one week. I even got my financial aid processed on the spot. I was ecstatic on the drive home. Even the sun was shining that day, which is weird for Seattle weather in October.
Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed my mood has brightened. I'm still struggling finding motivation for creativity in the present but I've been excited for the future. I have so many ideas on things I want to change while I'm in school. I've also made many plans and goals for when I finish school. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. My future is bright and I'm super excited for it.
