I wish!
I had one week off from school and spent it in Acworth with my mom. I slept a lot and ate a lot and basically did nothing, which was honestly well needed after a 7 exam final week!!!
I think something in my apartment is making me sick. I guess it must be allergies. I was "sick" 4 weeks ago during my birthday week and now again. There is something in Alabama that is causing me to have sinus congestion and a headache, with an occasional cough. So I spent most of this weekend in bed. Maybe it just is allergies, the Claritin has been helping, but I wish this feeling would just go away!
I did go out Saturday night to see a friend's band play at a bar close to home, AND I went alone! I must have talked myself in and out of it at least 10 times before leaving the apartment and another 10 times outside the bar. I finally said "Screw it! I'm here. I'll get a beer and then leave if I feel like it or stay". I ended up staying the entire time, even though I knew not a soul there and spent all my time by myself, as everyone else there had their friends and whatnot. Oh well. I'm impressed that I did it all alone. Like my friend said "brave little toaster"! So true, but alas I have no friends. (I use the term 'friend' here loosely. Sure I have people I consider friends, but they are practically no more than acquaintances, none of them do I hang out with outside of school, they don't call/text me and I guess neither do I. I have no one I can call up on a whim and say hey let's hang out, or do you want to go out tonight. That's what I mean by I don't have friends.)
So, what's a girl to do? Sit at home like a bump on a log, or get out and face her fears? Face them I did. I was a bit nervous and I'm sure that some people saw me alone at the bar and felt sorry for me, but by the end of the night I didn't feel sorry for myself; I felt sorry for the people that don't have the courage to go to a bar by themselves and not care what others think of them for being there solo.
I did get up and out today too. I went to JoAnn's to get some fabric because I'm going to attempt to make a skirt or two. I found some cheap polyester floral fabric that I think would look darling in a skirt. I also got several yards of cheap muslin to try my first skirt before cutting into any other fabric. I think they'll be two different designs but I wanted to make sure that I won't make huge glaring mistakes by doing the muslin first and it will give me the opportunity to try my hand at a zipper too... YIKES! Well, I'll keep ya up to date as I do things. I should be focused on other things, like studying for boards. Eh... LOL.
