This is my first time doing this one, but I am needing some motivation for this upcoming weekend. And because I love The Cure. That is all.
1. The Weather. It's nice. It's breezy and has been sunny all day. Because of this glorious Florida weather (FINALLY!), I am going to have dinner on the water of this nice restaurant and listen to a reggae cover band while drinking low calorie adult beverages (if they exist). I'm pleased.
2. The new Vera Bradley. They announced their summer line this week and while I'm not super impressed (it's getting a little predictable), I did enjoy the Make Me Blush pattern. It's adorable! I probably like it so much because it combines my favorite colors in a fun way.
I will be *resisting* any Vera purchases right now. I bought two bags at the beginning of the year, and I have to really WEAR them.
Check out the rest of the summer line here.
3. Meetup.com. My mom of all people started using this site to network and meet new people. I am not one for internet stalking (though I do have a blog so I'm not sure what that means), but I was intrigued by all the fun events they organize. I was particularly interested in all the beer tastings and outdoor acitvities. While I have an *amazing* group of friends, we have *crazy* schedules that leaves little time for weekend adventures. I try to have a girls outing once a month and keep in touch with all my friends on a regular basis, but our schedules sometimes just don't click. It would be nice to have someone plan my weekends with some new things to do. I haven't attended any of these so-called events, but I might. We will see.
4. My new major. Ah, yes. I think I can finally talk about this now. I have been toying with the idea of getting another Master's for some time now. Tuition is free since I work at a university, and my previous Master's degree was flat-out worthless. There, I said it. Well, I am a thesis away from graduating with a Master's in Mass Communications... but I just don't want to do it. I don't know why. Is it my topic? Is it my lack of motivation? I mean, it could be anything. I just really don't feel like completing a research project on something that I'm not passionate about anymore. I have officially switched to a Master's of Education in Instructional Technology. I don't know if it will lead to a lifetime of lucrative job opportunities, but I am able to take classes online (Yay!) and I only need 7 more to finish (I took some as electives previously). I get to learn more about Web Design, play around with Photoshop and just learn more about using computers in an educational setting. It seems more applicable since I do work in a *university.* Who knows. I just want to *finish.* This option seemed more tolerable and I feel a little more motivated about school. Just a little. Here's to a spring 2011 graduate (I was supposed to finish in 2009... eek!).
5. My new sunglasses. Remember when I wrote a pathetic blog entry practically *begging* for a local eyeglasses boutique to give me Coach glasses? Well, I won and here they are.
They're gorgeous. You can't really tell here, but I promise you they are amazing.
Oh, and the lovely boyfriend made me a button for my blog. How sweet. It's on my left sidebar, if you know, anyone cares.
