So I'm out here in NYC, right in the middle of it all... I walk one block up, I'm in SoHo... I take one block down, I'm in Chinatown. Two blocks down would land me in the middle of Little Italy. I actually like this! Granted, I'm out here with literally nothing except for my toothbrush and the clothes on my back, I am really enjoying this more than I thought I would! Thank goodness for plastic & ATMs! I actually regret that I didn't come out sooner to visit. But now, I can look forward to visiting my sister in San Fran (right before she moves to another location)! I'm about to run out for some more exploring before I have to meet with the designer who's going to make my wedding dress. My sister's flight will get back at around the same time, so maybe we'll all be able to catch a bite to eat before I have to go to sleep for my ass-crack early flight back to Chicago. I kinda wish that this wasn't such a spur-of-the-moment trip though, cuz I really would have liked to meet up with some of my old friends out here... Oh well, there'll be another time. I've grown quite fond of the cannolis here already!
So I was sitting there today, busy as a bee, drowning in paperwork, and it dawned on me... Something that I firmly believe in, and can totally achieve! No, I'm not talking about memorizing my all of my quizzes and acing the final exam... Actually, I decided that I am going to sell my cards, bookmarks, etc., and DONATE all of my profits to the American Cancer Society! Well, I'll keep just enough to cover the cost of the materials and shipping. After all, why not put this hobby of mine to genuine GOOD use, right? I'm so happy right now...
But if you're not interested in my cards, which I will take no offense to, please check out the American Cancer Society's page, and consider making a donation!
You know, have you ever built yourself up for that one (what-you-thought-was) awesome event, and end up having it turn out to be a complete DUD??
Well, I just went through that with my Medical Terminology midterm. What a complete disaster!! No, I didn't fail. As a matter of fact, I ACED IT! So you might be asking, why the bitterness and frustration? Well, I spent a whole lotta time on studying and preparing for it, and I gave up some much-needed hang-out time with some good friends (which I am still sad about missing out on). More importantly, I held back from calling my brother from another mother so I could properly study... Only to have the instructor take each and every single question from all the quizzes we've had so far... VERBATIM! I could have saved myself a week and a half and just memorized the quizzes! (Which wouldn't even be necessary because I knew those already!)
What the hell???? I mean, come on... I busted my brain, lost sleep, and sacrificed my sanity and social plans for this ANTI-CLIMACTIC test?!?!? Geez...
Well, the positive thing from this is that I can now tell you what cryptorchidism is... And I can tell you the difference between a hydrocele, varicocele, cystocele, and rectocele. Narcissism, histrionic, antisocial... Yeah, all that good stuff.
So I blew off some steam, and de-stressed by making another card...
You likey?? You can get a more detailed description and more pix at my Etsy Store!
Ok, time to catch up on some much-needed sleep... Nite all!
In my spare time (ok, study breaks, if you have to get technical), I've been messing around with my overly-neglected scrapbooking toys. So I figured I might as well be productive during those brief moments too... So here is my new, side venture:
Please stop by and take a look! I will be producing more as time goes on, so make sure you keep checking up on my progress! And yes, if the urge comes over you to make a purchase, don't fight it!

Apparently, this blog isn't cooperating with my store, hence the blank white box above... But you can see my store off to the right-hand side of my blog! Sorry!
