Sunday

Usually Sundays stress me out. They come too fast, and I can never enjoy them because all day long I just keep thinking "tomorrow is monday, monday means school, school means due dates, due dates means that I have to actually have my homework finished. homework being finished means that I needed to have started two weeks ago when it was assigned, and not tonight. damn it." BUT Today has been good. I slept in, checked EPL scores (Liverpool won 2-0 to Chelsea! Torres scored both goals, which is awesome because he was getting a lot of critisism for not "being on form" or "not focused" or whatever), ALSO, someone on Polyvore, who is from Serbia, liked some of my sets! I went on a walk in the back pasture, with the cats following me, and kicked around my soccer ball (I have been really missing soccer a lot, lately. I am mad and kind of resentful that I ever had to quit. Ignore this angsty part, though, because this post is about the GOOD day I had) I went to dinner with my mom to Rooster's and got Margarita pizza and bread pudding, (mmm!) worked on my art project (thanks to my uncle, Mike) and I finally finished my two reports. Ahh, since when did not sleeping til two and then sitting on the computer all day feel so good? Oh? always? Whoops. I ought to try it more often.

Here is the next phase of my Zapata project. It need a bit more red, but the process is actually a lot more complicated/frustrating than it might seem, so that will have to wait.

edit: I just barely tried with making the hair and moustache red, what do you guys think? In one way, I like that it has more red. (I like red white and green, because they are the colors of the Mexican flag), but at the same time, with JUST red and green, it sort of seems Christmas-y. Opinions?

Summer Plans

I've decided that I should try to organize my plans for this summer. There are always things that I want to do, but I never get around to. Or things that I wish I knew about, but also never seek out. This summer I am seeking to better myself. So I made a grand list of things I want to accomplish. Some are just around-the-house sorts of things that are more like summer projects. Other are habits that I want to form, in order to become more of the person I want to be.
I have bolded & italicized the things that I want to become habits.

(In no particular order)

1. Weed and finish planting garden
2. Re-stain tree house
3. Re-cover patio chairs
4. Clean up patio
5. Finish awning for cat apartments
6. Make my own clothes (t-shirts, dress?)
7. Fix bikes
8. Trade in old bikes
9. Bike more
10.Go to Yoga classes
11.Run consistently
12.Begin learning French. I have been inspired by my recent trip.
13.Brush up my admittedly pathetic Spanish
14.Make reading list. I want to have a constant reading list that I am adding to and crossing off books all the time.
15.Finish sewing projects
16.Complete house clean-out
17.Put up hammock from Mexico
18.Clean out barn
19.Put up small fence by barn
20.Put up fence by tree house
21.Organize photos
22.Make travel book
23.Organize awards
24.Do more art
25.Learn more cooking
26.Put together recipe book
27.Get a job.
28.Eat healthier
29.Reteach myself European and American history, as well as world geography.
30.Continue to teach myself guitar

I think this ought to keep me busy this summer. Hopefully I can stick to the more motivational-driven items from this list!
