Insipid (adj.) - 2. uninteresting; dull [Webster's]; Lacking vigor or interest [Google Dictionary]
Today I woke up early and felt like getting things done. First, I started on that set on Polyvore for Converse and Lady Footlocker. The winner gets a year's worth of Converses! That's 12 pairs, and if you get runner up, you get 6 pairs. That would be a dream come true for me! I woke up with the idea for my set already in my head, so I got started on it pretty much right away. I think it looks pretty good so far, but I like to leave my sets for a while and come back to them with fresh eyes. It helps keep the ideas flowing better.
I also did a lot of cleaning today in my room. I went through a bunch of boxes and found homes for their contents, did a bit of decorating, and put away a bunch of clothes. I hung a big map of the world on the wall by my bed and I'm really happy with it. It is a bit crooked, but I don't know if I've ever been able to hang anything level. We really should get a level around here. There is so much more space in my room now. It makes me feel really good to have a nice, clean space. I still have a bit more un-cluttering to do - just finding places for random things - but it is looking so good right now. I'm hoping to hang some pictures tomorrow, along with the new jewelry box I got for Christmas. It's not a regular jewelry box; it is more like a shadow box sort of thing but with a door on the front that can hold pictures. I cut out some pictures from magazines to fill the picture openings because none of my pictures fit in them. I didn't want to cut any of them to fit, either. The pictures aren't of people or anything, but they're more aesthetic sort of pictures. There was a cool rug I found, a wall hanging, and a couple of cool designs from ads that I put in there. I think it looks pretty cool, but I still might change them out.
After running about and doing all that work, I started not to feel very well, so I lay down and ended up falling asleep. I hadn't even planned on taking a nap, and it honestly didn't even feel like it. I was just out. When I woke up, I felt a little better but still weird. I had some peanut butter because I thought maybe it was low blood sugar or something (pb usually helps). I hung out with Teddy while my parents ran some errands.
After that, I finally beat those two levels of golf solitaire! I was pretty excited. I must have played them over and over about a million times. Later, I wrote my last paper for networking and filled out the class evaluation. I liked the class. I actually sort of enjoyed doing the online labs. It wasn't insipid sort of work. I think it's just nice to do something hands-on. One thing that I didn't like much about working on my Bachelor's degree was that we heard a lot of lectures but didn't get to do anything hands-on. I'm sure if I had gone after the Master's degree, I would have gotten to do a lot more hands-on work, but I had a lot of reasons for not going for it. I am starting to wonder if this new degree was a good idea, though. There seems to be a lot of work to get the associate's degree and I'm not learning a whole lot about web design. Those classes make up a fraction of the classes I need to take for this degree. It's frustrating. Honestly, I just don't think the college education system really works the way it is now. Maybe that's just my experience, though. Maybe other colleges offer a different learning experience from the one I've had. I value my own experience, of course.
I watched The Bachelor later in the evening. It's down to two ladies now. I don't like all the exaggerated drama, but I watch the show for those rare moments when people let their guard down and really show who they are - when they're vulnerable. I don't know; maybe I'm looking for a feeling - empathy, perhaps. I think I just like to see relationships unfold and see how people work.
After that, I caught the new episode of Face Off. They had some really cool make-ups today. Some of their work is very inspiring. I read my book during the commercials and I'm about to go read some more of it now, too. Hopefully I'll get a bunch more done tomorrow, including some more of my room and some headway on that proposal paper. Oh yeah, and JavaScript. I'm just not very excited about writing the proposal - the whole deal feels very insipid to me. I'll just have to muddle through it. There never seems to be a break with these online classes, I'm telling you.
Love,
Christen
