It's finally my birthday :D
Even though it doesn't feel like a big special day like it did when I was younger, it's still exciting for me.
I got my my beautiful new paradiso gioco and i'm in love with it ^_^
I also got a much needed hard make-up case.
I've had a soft zip-up case for a while and I just felt so unorganized with it.
So, now that I have my new bag, i can give my L'amore zucca a much needed rest for awhile :)

So, this year for my birthday I'm getting a new Tokidoki purse.
I really REALLY wanted to get one of the Hello Kitty X Tokidoki boston bags, but my birthday was too far away when they first came out and i missed the chance to snag one at an un-insane price. The bag retails at $125 but because it's so rare now you can't find one on eBay for less than $350. Crazy huh?
But anyway, I had a limit of $250 for a bag and my search began.
Because Tokidoki for Lesportsac bags aren't being made anymore, they are pretty hard to get now and marked up way over retail.
It makes me wish I had bought all the bags I wanted when I actually had a job -_-
I had wanted to get a new zucca since my L'amore Zucca is my favorite bag ever and it's time to retire it.
Sadly, the selection of zuccas left on ebay is super limited and way over priced.
Seriously, they retailed for $184 and now they are over $250.
The least expensive bags listed are the tuttis, trasportos, and some vacanze. I honestly wasn't going to be completely happy with any of those, even though I probably could have gotten a good deal.
After much debate, thought, and a long period of feeling guilty for the price, I found the bag I wanted.
I bought a NWT Paradiso Gioco for $250 ( almost $100 over retail price).
The price is crazy, but the bag is beautiful.
I've always wanted something in the Paradiso print and i figured now was the time to get one since who knows how much longer people will be listing them on eBay. The price will only go up higher as time goes by.
I used to hate the gioco style, but the more I looked at it the more it appealed to me.
If i'm paying all that money for a purse, i want something a little more 'stand out' than a tote bag like a Buon Viaggio or a Mamma Mia. ( No offense to BV and MM lovers ^-^)
I'm super excited to get it.
Seriously, i feel like I'm going to cry when I see it.
Tokidoki makes me so happy :D

Two exams down, one to go.

I had my Japanese exam this morning.
Hopefully I did alright. I think I did, so i've got my fingers crossed that I did.
I had some trouble trying to remember which particles go with what... damn particles XP
My Geog107 exam was also today, and it was horrible just like I thought it would be.
I ended up getting a D, which is passing but still.
I put so much effort and time into studying for this exam and my grades don't reflect how much I really try.
It's so frustrating -_-.
And to be honest, the exams are completely unfair.
The test is on a computer and you get 60 random questions out of a pool of questions.
On persons exam could be filled with more of the tougher questions than the person beside them.
I don't think that's fair at all.
Everyone should have the same exam with the same questions, period.
I thought I would do a little better than I did honestly, but what can you...
I got some really tough questions, and I swear some of that stuff wasn't even brought up in class.
Stupid class. Grrr...
But, the good news is --- NO MORE GEOG 107!!!!!!!!!!!!1
YAY! I HATE THAT CLASS. And now it's over :D
I'll get a C in the class, so whatever.
I know I tried my best, so that's all that matters.

I have an Art exam tomorrow, and then I'm leaving to go back home.
Thanks God, because I'm so ready to go.

Dead week is upon me and I can already feel its weight.
This week is definitely going to be tough, stressful, and very demanding on my mind and body.
It feels like this will never end.
I have so much to do during a week that's supposed to be reserved for studying.
Instead, I will be fighting myself to make time to study on top of everything that has to be done.
I have 4 papers that need to be revised for Friday.
I have a final paper due Thursday.
I have an exam on Wednesday.
I have an English paper due Friday.
I have to study for two Geography exams.
I have to study for an Art exam.
I have to study for a Japanese exam.
T-T Somebody help me please...
I have to do well on the one geog exam because I have a 75 in the class, which is a C, and I don't want to drop to a D.
The exams in that class are crazy though, so I'm really worried.
Everything just needs to work out... I know it will...

On another note, someone is eating some gross smelling food somewhere near my room.
It smells like old bologna or something, yuck.
Only 9 more days until I'm home!!!!! yay!
No more dorm until August! Yes!
I miss my bed. I could really use it right about now.

So, today I got my package from Everyday Minerals that I ordered!
It actually got here pretty quick, I'm happy :)
I ordered quite a few things, and even got some free gifts too.
I decided to do an un-boxing post ( because I like them).
I think this will be a good reference post for people who are unsure about the item sizes.
I know I didn't really know how big anything was when I ordered, so hopefully you might get some useful info from this.

The brown cap is a small sized eyeshadow, while lilac caps are considered a small finishing powder and a small sized blush (2.5g).

The Oasis eyeshadow is very sparkley. I'd say its a light brown color; very pretty. The small size was $2.50.
The Star to Finish Fair was one of the free gifts. I think it's a little too light for me to use.
The Plum Dust blush is really nice. It's a pinky - mauvey color that works well with my skin tone (i'm Fair-Medium). The 2.5g size was $4.00.

This was the other free gift I received. It's a full sized pressed blush. I love the case! It's like a recycled cardboard lacquer thing ( I don't know how to describe it better than that :p)

The All Smiles pressed blush is a very light pink, even a little peachy like a light coral color. It's pretty, but I haven't tried it with foundation on ( I sampled it on my hand) so I don't know how this will look on my face. I like it though! This product isn't for sale on the website yet so I don't know the price.

This is the large sized foundation and retails for $12.00.

These are the cosmetic wet wipes. They only cost $3.75 and you get 80 of them. They smell nice and are organic, which is a big plus.

This is a great brush!!! It's the eyeshadow brush, which costs $5.00. I've been looking everywhere for a good quality brush and this is definitely one. It's also great for applying the powder eyeliner.

Overall It cost me $27 for the products and $5 for shipping, which is great for cosmetics. Hopefully you got an idea of how big all the products are and maybe you'll go order some for yourself. v(^__^)v

I've been told that I'm boring on numerous occasions in my life.
My ex told me it.
My brother told me it.
My mom's even told me it, though in a joking manner.

I can't help but feel frustrated by this.
I feel like it's something that will follow me no matter where I go.
I feel like I maybe that's why I haven't found anyone yet.
Because I'm boring...

I like to read.
I like to be by myself.
I like to just lay back and relax.
I like to surf the web.
But those things make me "boring."

So I'm boring because I don't like to go out and play sports.
I'm boring because I don't go out to eat with 5+ friends.
I'm boring because I'm not always going out somewhere.
I'm boring because I don't like to go get drunk.
I'm boring because I don't do anything "fun."

I don't want to be thought of as boring.
I want to be fun, the person people want to do things with.
I am fun, people just don't see it.
I am.

I got this issue of Nakayoshi awhile ago, a few years actually.
This issue is for May of 2005.
I remember when I bought it, I had no idea what it said or what any of the manga inside were.
I didn't even know what it was called.
But now, as I decided to look at it once again, I can actually read it and understand parts of it.
It's pretty cool ^__^

Also, I picked up this special issue of National Geographic.
I recommend it.
The pictures in side are stunning and the articles are very good.
You even get a huge map of china/ forbidden city poster.
(Forgive the smudge prints on the cover :-p)

Yeah, I've always been accident prone.
Some how I'm always the one that manages to get hit with a ball or trips over something.
Today just further confirmed it.
I got hit with a Frisbee -_-
Yep, I did.
I was walking out by the Mountainlair where everyone is always playing some kind of sport.
Out of nowhere, this frisbee comes flying at me an hits me on the shoulder.
The one guy yells at the thrower to apologize, but he doesn't.
I'm pretty sure I'll have a nice bruise in the morning.
It's just my luck though.
Not two feet in front of me were a group of people walking, and did it hit them? No, it ZONED in on ME.

I need a haircut.
I meant to get one over spring break, I but I honestly forgot about it.
It's getting to be too long :(
I can't get it to lay right anymore... it's annoying.

People in West Virginia have a staring problem.
More specifically, WOMEN in Weat Virginia have a staring problem.
Never in my life have I been somewhere where so many girls will glare at you when you walk past them.
I mean, seriously, its rude.
I don't know you, you don't know me, so why do you feel the need to stare me down?
It's frustrating and annoying and I'm pretty damn sick of it.
It's not just here in Morgantown, its also back at my hometown.
Everywhere you go, you'll find women that just rudely stare at you wherever you go.
I don't get it.
If you want to look at me, fine, but why does your head need to turn around when I walk past you?
Geez people...
