Friday Five

1. I don't care where you went, what you did, how awful or great a time you had. At the end, when everything is over and you're back home, it always feels great to wash off the night. To stand in the hot shower and scrub away the sweat, the parties, the outside, the other people (ew), it just feels amazing. It's honestly one of my favorite parts of the evening, everything drawing to a close and me being able to just take a shower and go to bed. Drunk, sober, whatever, it feels fantastic every time.

2. The second week of classes is officially over. We're starting to get into the actual work part of the year, it's not just syllabus week anymore. Things have been going pretty well so far, I haven't had any big assignments or anything yet. It'll probably all pick up a lot in October, and around the end of September. It's so weird to think that I'm even in my second year of college anyway. Sometimes I feel like I should still be in high school, when did I even get here?

3. Jim, my boyfriend, is coming to visit tomorrow. It makes me nervous, having him here staying the night with me, but I'm also excited to get to see him. It's been a few weeks and I'm definitely missing him. I think we're going to try to go in to Washington D.C. to go to the zoo, but I'm just looking forward to being with him. I wouldn't really care where we went or what we did, as long as I would be spending time with him. He's pretty great.

4. We're having somewhat better internet connection now. I think the View complex is going to completely update their system soon, so hopefully then it will be even better. I'll probably try to post pictures of my room soon, I just need to clean it up a little bit first. #collegeteenagelazymessygirlproblems because that's a thing now.

5. I painted my nails today and tried to do an 'ombre' fade effect, where you paint a base color and then sponge another color on top on the tip. I did light purple for my base and then light blue on top. It actually turned out pretty well, I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks. Unfortunately though, I put a top coat on over it to cover the rough sponge effect, and my top coat is old and crappy so now most of the color has cracked and doesn't look very good anymore. I'll have to re-do them tomorrow, and save the fading for another day when I have a better bottle of top coat.
