New Year Blues + Updates

So we are almost a week into the new year and already my life is back on a hectic tailspin of school, money, and work. I'm getting more hours at work which is good, but it leaves less time for art. I'm starting up my Ebay shop again after reading the first few chapters of #GirlBoss (inspiring read that I relate to a lot). I'll be relaunching my Etsy store with weird hand made goodies hopefully by the end of this month. I'm getting ready for classes to begin again, and dreading waking up at 6 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, just to drive through hell traffic (But what I do look forward to is the art that I will be making). I don't look forward to the papers I have to write. Then I have to do my taxes. Not to mention I'm still saving up to move out, to who knows where, because I don't know if I'll make it out to California this year. And then there is budgeting, and learning to save more and spend less. I don't want to rely on others for money ever again. And then there's my art. I want to do more but I feel like there isn't enough time in the day. I want to photograph more, and learn how to do new things.

Not to mention, Mercury also just went retrograde today, which we have already discussed (I did a tarot card reading).

I just want to be comfortable in my Cali apartment, away from here. Away from this big school, this tiny town, and (almost) all of the people in it.  I really do appreciate Florida for what it is - a sunny tropical paradise - but I can't take this anymore. I need out! I want out!

I don't want to hear all the fuss about valentines day, but I know I'm going to.

I'm tired, impatient, and cranky. But perhaps it is these feelings that propel me forward. I begin doing and changing. It's just growing pains. It's the fire within me. It's that stubborn Taurus and that spontaneous Sagittarius burning.

Some things that I AM looking forward to is, however:
-Learning new art stuff at school
-Sewing clothes and pillow cases and making weird jewelry for my etsy
-Wearing sweaters cause it's actually below 70 degrees in FL for once
-Taking class with one of my friends from last semester
-Saving money
-Making money
-Money
-Seeing my friends in Sarasota at the end of the month (including my friend Jordan who I have not seen since last summer!!!)
-Seeing my lovely friend Brianna sooner than I'll realize
-My friend Lacey's 21st birthday!
-Applying for internships



With all of this being said, I will also be working on this blog, trying to get it all organized. I'm feeling pretty confident, although I could be biting of more than I can chew.

It's fine, I just won't sleep + become a hermit.


(Also, if anyone actually reads these blog posts, I was just wondering what you all would be more interested in seeing. Please shoot me an e-mail or just comment below. I will use this feedback to make this blog better.)
