Oh man, was last week the biggest nightmare ever. it has been a LONG time since i have thrown up, and an even longer time since i've been in the hospital. i am very happy to say that (after several mistakes including eating tacos on Wednesday) i feel just about 100% again. last week i managed to go to 2 classes, so hopefully i didn't miss too much in my other classes. over the weekend, we went over to some friends' apartment and ate pizza and watched movies and just generally hung out.
oh and also, i got my nail polish order from transdesign!!! omg.
before it came, i was berating myself for spending so much money, especially without having a job, but wow was it worth it. i bought the China Glaze spring 2010 collection (Up & Away), Orly's Enchanted Forest, 2 polishes from OPI's Alice in Wonderland collection: Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice, OPI Ink and Here today... Aragon tomorrow. I also bought an OPI crystal nail file, a couple OPI mini Envys, Poshe's fast drying top coat, and a Seche ridge-filling base.
Out of everything, the only thing i am slightly disappointed with is OPI's Here again... Aragon tomorrow. It is just way too dark :( It reminds me of one of my christmas dresses that I had as a little girl in which i looked goth; it was supposed to be dark green velvet but it just looked black. meh. I'll keep it, but maybe, in order to bring out the green, i need to wait until we have some sunlight.
My friend bridgette also bought me China Glaze Medallion from Sally's. It was on sale! yay :)
wow, holy crap do i have a lot of nail polish. i need to slow down. but i just love shiny things!
I should also put in good word for transdesign, because honestly, with the way their check out system can be, i thought they would steal my credit card number. but nope, they are 100% legit, even if you do get some kind of security certificate error when cashing out. i ordered everything on January 12 and UPS was knocking on my door on the 13th! they are very fast to put the order together and have it shipped in 3 days. i'm highly imressed with that, and to top it off they have some of the cheapest prices on polishes right now! i love transdesign! :)

I love Hobby Lobby!!!
my recent excursion from the hobby lobby produced such a great result that i just had to go back for more! i picked out 2 small round vases, 2 more bags of moss and 2 mini sets of lights. i was kind of in a rush (after being sick in their bathrooms.. oops) so i bought the green wired lights instead of white. bummer. but it looks ok if i hide the wires well! i still have to do the other bowl, but i moved them all up on top of my bookshelf to see how it would look :)
and just because i felt like taking artsy close up shots, i did. i just love the little mossy caverns in it.
Very sick!
So on Friday I was out with my friend bridgette and we were totally hitting up the hobby lobby to make more cool moss tree light.. things, when my tummy just decided you know what? i haven't thrown up in over 10 years. let's change that! so it did. i'm really sorry to the hobby lobby employee who had to clean up the toilet i destroyed. :(
well i felt a lot better so we cashed out and she brought me home. i really did feel better! then zomg, worst night ever. i took a shower and i felt another wave of nausea and thats when all the really bad shit started happening. i was so sick i texted my boyfriend if he could get off work early. around 11:30 at night he ended up driving my delirious self to the emergency room, where they had to pump me with 6 bags of saline through an iv needle. i only remember bits and pieces, especially after they gave me a dose of morphine, but they really gave me every single anti nausea med they had. and i wouldn't stop puking. damn stomach.
i ended up staying about 24 hours, in which i realized that they had written me a prescription for anti nausea pills that were $180 (!!!!!) each. i'm feeling better now, i can eat rice and pastas, but omg. my abs are cramped up so much from spasming, my neck and back are sore from the awful hospital beds, and my arms make me look like a junkie from all the places they poked me. not to mention my headache.
just to make a point of how sick i was, here is the state of my nails. yeah. haven't managed the energy to paint them. maybe i will later!

A spark of creativity (maybe)
So my friend bridgette had this totally cool piece at her house. she had filled a glass vase with moss and tiny led christmas lights and it made a wonderful glowing.. awesome thing! i'm still sick so my head really can't come up with describing words right now.
anyway, i thought it was so cool that i'd try my own, adding some seashells that jesse and i picked up along the beaches in florida over christmas. i had the best time ever picking out stuff at the hobby lobby. got my vase, moss, lights, and a few squiggly sticks to poke out of the top. this is the result! i love it! i love nature-y glow-y twisty things. i am a slave to the sparklies. here's the slideshow.
I guess i got on a creative/decorating kick, so i decided to add some origami butterflies and cranes to the strands of butterfly sequins already dangling over the futon. i made 21 of them! i'm proud of myself, i've never made butterflies or cranes before.

Plans
I realize I haven't written here for a long time (nearly a year...) so I should probably update my plans.
I've completely changed my major in college. I went from hoping to get into the College of Music here at MSU to being a German major. I'm taking German, with 2 cognates: Polish and mid/eastern European history. What do I expect to gain out of taking this? At first I didn't know. But I began looking around for career options and noticed that the UN was coming to MSU, and more importantly, they wanted to speak with students of less commonly taught languges (Polish). So I went, and I learned a lot. First, it is REALLY competitive to get a job with the UN (duh), second, they really like for you to have 2 UN languages + a 3rd language under your belt, third it's going to take a lot of international work experience and grad school to get a job with them. A few UN languages are English, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. German and Polish are not UN languages. :(
So then I started planning to change from Polish to Russian, but a few days ago I figured that my schedule was going to be already so jam packed that I need to just fill my cognate requirement with Polish and worry about Russian in graduate school. Also, Russian and Polish are very similar (when spoken). My aunt speaks Russian and she watched one of my Polish films and she could understand quite a bit of it! So my Polish studies, although it will only be for 3 semesters, will help me to eventually learn Russian.
I'm planning to study abroad for a year in my senior year. It's going to be a costly endeavor, but I really need the experience of living abroad, immersed in the language, to really get a grip on it. The program MSU currently offers is the academic year in Freiburg. I'm going to see if I can live off campus in an apartment so my boyfriend Jesse can come with me as well and stay with me. He has family over in Denmark so hopefully we are going to go visit them as well. And then go to Norway where the vikings are!! :D
I've been planning my schedule out, and there's no way around it: I'm going to have to spend at least 1 semester as a 5th year senior. :( But that's ok because originally I wanted to be in music education, which is a 5 year program.
Those are my long term goals. As far as short term, well. I'd really like to paint my apartment. As long as I paint it with the colors that the apartment company has listed, I won't have to paint over it when I move out. The apartment that my boyfriend and I are going to move into in July/August we cannot paint. Even if we paint over it when we move out. Bummer. But! it's over 900 sq feet and it has a balcony and a pool and it is outside of East Lansing so we will really enjoy the space and atmosphere of this new apartment. I'm really looking forward to it.

pear necklace
couldn't help it. i love pearls. when i went back to vt over christmas i picked up some pearls and made a new necklace and had fun with the camera too
i also picked up a piece of dichloric(spelling?) glass that i just strung on some lavendar cord. really pretty, it looks like a landscape with a pyramid and sand dunes and a sea in the background. i love it.
and! i found a lancome palette on sale so i bought it and loved the packaging so i took a picture too.
