I have issues with pattern mixing. I’ll admit it. It’s not my area of expertise. I can, however, mix colors like nobody’s business. …LIKE NOBODY’S BUSINESS.
I always find that warmer weather inspires a greater degree of experimentation and vibrancy in my outfits. This is outfit is one of my most recent favorite colorful days… teal + fire engine red + navy blue + mustard yellow + electric purple.
I mentioned in my last post that I’m going to BELIZE for spring break… (That’s how it has to be said: BELIZE. Not Belize, no no no. It has to be said like with gusto. BELIZE. No, louder. Yeah yeah, there you go. BELIZE.) And as I’m sure you could tell from my facial expression, I was FUH-REA-KING OWT about it. Like, really badly.
Basically what happened was I got this list-serve email on Tuesday from a group on campus that I signed up for (along with a million other things I never ended up doing) at the Activities Fair during Orientation… Anyways, this email said something like “SPOT OPEN ON TRIP TO BELIZE FOR SPRING BREAK—RESPOND ASAP” and here I am, sitting on my laptop in a comfy chair in the science building with two hours to kill before Orgo lecture because I’ve locked myself out of my room yet again… So anyways, I get this email, I’m BORED AS HELL, I ought to be writing a book review for my seminar, but clearly that’s not happening… So this email pops up in my inbox and I’m like, A DISTRACTION! and I promptly use it as an excuse to procrastinate further. I decide, on a whim to respond to the email with the words, “I’m interested!” And then I’m sitting in lecture an hour later and my Droid goes, DRRROIDD. And HOLY HELL, I’M GOING TO BELIZE! I somehow signed up for a service trip with a group of kids I don’t know from a church I’ve never been to.
I texted my Mum, going, “hey mum, how would u feel abt me going to belize for spring break?” Yes, that’s right. I asked my mother if I could—with three days left of classes—change my plans for spring break to include spending nine days in Central America VIA TEXT MESSAGE. I know, I know—but hey, she said yes.
How did this happen? I’m so effing pumped.
On the downside (what downside?) this means I’ll be off the grid until March 13th. My apologies. I know your heart is breaking. I’ll see if I can muster up a post or two tonight to schedule for during the week… we don’t leave here until 2:40 AM and right now it’s 10:17, so I have some time to kill, but we all know about my work ethic… JUST KIDDING I HAVE A BALLER WORK ETHIC. I GO TO WILLIAM AND MARY. I’M NOT IN DENIAL.
