The Return of Mermaids!

Today I decided that professors who had not previously seen their mermaid versions which were created way back in June should get the chance to view themselves. Nick DePinto saw his mermaid and just laughed because it's so spot on. Gené sat through every single mermaid, absolutely loving the accuracy. It was such a fun time. She also said that her daughter mentioned me! Saying that I'd be perfect for a role in her dad's show. For numerous reasons, that isn't possible. But how super sweet is that? I love that family. Mermaids for everyone!

Royal Seal of Approval!

ARRYN ZECH LIKED MY SELFIE

I get so excited whenever she likes anything I post, which is actually not super rare! But this time it was a selfie! It was me! My face! She liked it! I FEEL SO BLESSED. It was most likely because I mentioned her name, since her lipstick video is the reason I bought my purple lipstick in the first place. But either way. She found it. And she saw it. And she liked it. AND I'M SWOONING.

Also this is the one that I didn't post but kinda like better?

I dunno, the majority voted the other one, but this is just different haha

Blessings In Threes

1.  My mentee, Torreke, made me his Woman Crush Wednesday today! And it was super duper sweet! Especially after a kinda rough morning. It just made my heart super happy 'cause I love all my mentees so much and I'm glad they love me back! Best FYS ever.
2. I got to workout today I actually had time what huh what is this magic you speak of I dunno but I did it and I feel AWESOME. Also super hungry like I want to eat literally everything.. But we're ignoring that. Yay diet & exercise!
3. Day 8: Rough

After a rough time of going through the ENTIRE STORE in like 15 days, I had my list of every single item in the store. This was the rough draft. And it was a rough printing job. The finalized version is actually much more concise and neat and easy to read. But now I'm DONE with that big project, and moving on to phase two.  Considering I didn't start phase two until like an hour before closing, I am happy with being 6 pages in (out of 95. It's a lot but hey gotta make it last anyway 'cause this is my job for the summer). YAY PROGRESS AND PRODUCTIVITY.

Bonus: Not as much of a blessing but boy do I feel blessed.
A navy seal walked into the store today for some good old fashioned grocery shopping. I saw him from behind first and IMMEDIATELY was like what? Young white person? Lies. Then I got a good look at him while he was at the register and WHOOOO. My life is changed. I dunno his name, I dunno his age, all I know is he is a gentleman and BEAUTIFUL. He was seriously so sweet to the cashier. And when  had to pass him to keep working, I said excuse me and he said you're fine. My mind was like NO YOU. Seriously, he was swoon worthy. Cute smile and everything. Ah! I passed by the front of the store a few minutes later to get a cart and saw him pacing by his car while on the phone. I just thought FRIEND. HOW CAN I HELP YOU. YOU LOOK SO SAD. DO YOU NEED DIRECTIONS? I CAN DIRECT YOU TO EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE RIGHT NOW. Lol it was ridiculous. I was ridiculous. But there has been a shortage of handsome men at this store and THIS ONE SERVES OUR COUNTRY. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Keep It At 10%

Reason 301: Don't you love those satisfying moments when you get your way? Especially after you thought you wouldn't. Well, a conversation I had let me know I pretty much had to give up on a certain, for lack of a better term, wish of mine. Which, of course, is unfortunate, but you just have to press on, look at the situation positively, and find something else to focus on that will help you improve. I don't know how to word this so it doesn't sound like a "misery enjoys company" type of situation. What I should mention is that I was not the only person involved, but for a long time it felt like I was the only person who cared. So when I heard the other person nonchalantly tell me that the path I thought I would take was no longer an option, I was admittedly annoyed. But I later found out that the other person involved not only cared, but cared so much that this person was still looking for ways to make it work. Honestly, chances are it won't, and that is a sad fact we will both have to face. But the point is having someone else be just as invested, if not more, than you are in something that really matters to you just feels good. Relieving. Empowering. Maybe even flattering.

I'm sure you're absolutely sick of me talking about this album. But this song's lyrics really just hit me. I thought you might enjoy it :)

Vacant, vapid, stupid, perfect

Rockin' Robin

Reason 122: I don't even have a twitter. But when I love when my friends tweet about me! Teehee I think it's so cute and flattering. (You, LuzKarime, & Jess haha). YAY

Speaking of tweets that make me happy

YAY! #teamevan! I love that I've started something. I also love seeing Jess treated right :)

Too Young to Vote, Come At Me

Reason 101: My classes were pretty chill today. I didn't really have Group Process. I met with Gené for 10 minutes about my project, she approved it, and we were good. But before I even sat down she gave me a sassy look and was like "You didn't audition for my class!" I explained that because of my double major I knew I wouldn't be able to fit the class and I needed to focus on my requirements (but let's be real, I just wanna stick to 4 classes per semester this year). She understood, but said she really would love the opportunity to work with me in that setting, and hopes I audition next year. Flattery! It made me smiley.

 I couldn't choose! Both are titled "Desire". One is by U2 (best band ever), the other is by Anberlin, from their new album Vital that I cannot stop replaying!
