So, I may have mentioned before how I wanted to screen-print a design onto a t-shirt?

Well, my mom sent me some of her clean panty-hose yesterday (yeah, really -- she even wrote on the envelope that they were clean), so they could act as the screen for this little endeavor. So I decided that instead of studying I would do it. The process took awhile, man.

I'm a dumb-ass because I purchased BLOCK PRINTING INK and not the ink for FABRIC. What was I thinking -- I think I was blinded by the brand and instantly thought 'oh this is what I need' when perusing Art Mart. So after my labors, and the design is on the shirt, I will never ever be able to wash it because the ink comes right off, and I'm not exactly happy with the placement of the bird.

Thankfully this weekend I'm heading to Columbia and picking up some proper ink, and a new white t-shirt and I'll do it again. Correctly this time, and maybe with a stencil instead of panty-hose because I feel that that was unneccesary to use and overly complicated. Next time I'll take pictures so I can show you all.

I bought some winter clothes today -- I'm rather excited and want the colder weather to be here! Fifty-two degrees is not enough! I also cry a little bit on the inside everytime I spend money.

Also picked up several applications at the mall for working during winter break. I need myself some money, and it'll be nice having actual job experience.

And now I'm at home (not school), eating donettes, and (hopefully) working on a paper. We'll see how much I get done. My main goal for this weekend is to relax and de-stress, so I'm ready for the rest of the semester!

I've decided that Monday from after lunch to my 2:30 class is my time to relax. I'll clean my room and sit and read and listen to music. And I guess I could get work done, but I'm not making it a priority because I seriously need some time like this in my week.

No classes on Friday! I'm really, really excited. My goal is to not have any laundry to take home with me (I'm going home this weekend), so I can pack light and not have to lug my big duffel around. I may bring home sheets to be washed. I also want to get a rug for my room and a chair for people to lounge in. I wonder if my room-mate would mind me just picking out a rug... he might not like it, but eh -- he probably wouldn't say anything anyway. I think it would also be really nice to have a standing lamp to put beside the chair. Ahh too many ideas. I don't know if I have that much space for all of this.

So, what I want to do while home.
(1) Go shopping for:
       a. clothes
       b. chair
       c. stand-up lamp?
(2) Do a paper.
(3) Go to a friend's birthday party.
(4) Hang out with one of the family (ie really good friend who I haven't seen since the summer!)

Mainly I want to get a lot of sleep and rest and work on getting over my allergies or cold or whatever. Basically just get away for awihle. I also really want to re-organize my room... ha. I need to think about this a little though.

Bye, all.

This new template is awesome. Hell yes!

So I have to do reading and work on an Artist's Statement to accompany my story I wrote for my English class. I just got back from an awesome dinner, so I am real full and real into not doing anything but digest.

I should go for a walk. That will help wake me up, I hope!

I think I'm also drained from this weekend -- it's been full of many things. I'll have to talk about them later! Walk time now!

So, I'm staying up at college for Labor Day Weekend, and it's funny walking through the halls right now because everyone's alarms are going off (as if they were going to school, you know). I just find it amusing.

I'm doing laundry right now, and it's amazing. I love clean clothes and clean sheets. The weather is slightly overcast and the morning conveys this calmness that's really awesome. I'm so relaxed right now.

What else must get done today...

1) While the laundry is going I'll continue to knit.
2) Pick up a book for a friend.
3) Trip to Wal-Mart
4) Start paper.
5) Maybe go on a bike ride?

That's really all I want to put on my plate for today. I'm excited about this weekend. YAYAY.
