Hey There February

Hey guys,

It's officially the second month of the new year, crazy huh?? This month has been busy and stressful, but also full of new experiences and exciting news. I know I've been a bit absent here on the blogging world, but I think I've finally figured out time management, so hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me this month. I don't have a lot to say in this introduction paragraph, so let's get onto the wrap up and discuss what's happening.

Currently// Learning more about the Pacific Northwest than I ever dreamed, writing for school constantly and writing for pleasure not enough, re-watching the Office and laughing a lot, attempting to pass ceramics, trying not to fall on my butt while holding the tree pose, and spending way too much on fries in my school's cafeteria.

Reading// The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Yes, guys I'm still reading this. Don't get me wrong, it's really good, but I just don't have time to sit down and really get into it. It's truly very sad. Also, Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. I loved the formatting of the first book, but found the characters a little dull. I'm hoping to enjoy this one better and I'm still pretty excited to see where it takes the story.

Watching// The BBC mini series of Emma. GUYS oh my goodness my friend Sasha introduced me to this beautiful show and Mr. Knightley *inserts heart eyes emoji* be still my heart, what a cutie. Also I started watching The Crown and it is sooooo good. It's hard for me to adjust to Matt Smith as someone other than the doctor, but he is amazing nonetheless.

Enjoying// Elissa's post, My Vlog is Here *Everyone Cheers.* Rebekah's post, Innocence. Cally's post, Goodness. Addy's post, Hope of a Moment. Julia's post, Me vs You. And Sarah's post, I'm Fine.

Loving// Hot fudge sundae pop tarts after yoga class (don't judge me), learning I got a job as a summer camp counselor, making aesthetic boards for my favorite books instead of sleeping, starting a novel with sad protagonists and marshmallow fluff, reading a book that has a perspective from a squirrel, sharing my poetry on chasing moonlight, and having Star Wars gif competitions with Julia.

Disliking// Getting my lanyard stuck in my ponytail while passing really cute guys, trick questions on history tests, a random guy criticizing my mom for letting me drink coffee (dude I'm 18 stop it), an amber alert on my phone going off in the middle of class, and all my black clothes getting covered in golden retriever hair anytime I sit down thanks to Mr. Murphy.

Blogging// Hey There January, where I talk about my December and discuss my January goals. Life Happenings // Managing Sickness and Homework, where I give excuses for my absence and layout an easy five step plan on how to feel better. Favorite Period Drama Soundtracks // YOU'RE WELCOME, where I talk about my favorite soundtracks to listen to and study with. And Pity Parties Are My Specialty // Job 1-2, where I talk about praising God in all stages of life instead of being like me and having little pity parties about everything (even meatloaf isn't an acceptable reason).

Hoping// To stop scrolling through pinterest and get to bed on time, study harder for my history quizzes, actually eat breakfast and study the word before I go to school, make more time for friends and facetime chats, and smile whenever I feel like frowning.

How was your January? Did anything exciting happen? Have you ever gotten your keys stuck in your pony tail when trying to act all chill around really attractive guys? Please say yes or this will be sorta awkward.

Have a wonderful February my friends,

Elizabeth
