Finally. It feels so good to be done...even though my last final didn't go too well.
The only thing I'm stressing about now are my keys. I lost my research lab keys and this weekend is my turn to fill the LN2 tank, which means I need my keys! I was hoping I forgot them in the lab, so I hung around the room until my professor showed up and let me in, but I searched high and low and they were nowhere to be found. So, hopefully, that means they're somewhere around my house.
I can't wait to get my hair cut (well, trimmed to be more exact; I'm still trying to grow it out) tomorrow for the first time in over a year.

Just One More Day
Just one more day till I'm done with summer school!! By the end of tomorrow, my summer will have officially re-started. It started seven weeks ago, lasted for one measly week, and will begin again tomorrow night.
And I already have so many things I want to do once I'm done. This weekend it my cousin's engagement party and I'm excited to make a poster/banner for the occasion. I'm thinking of making little cartoon drawings of her, her fiancee, and their dog. It looks awesome in my mind, but then again, things always look better in my head than they do on paper. Then the next weekend is my cousin's birthday party/graduation party/housewarming or SD with my friend. I have yet to decide which I'm going to do, but either way, it should be another fun weekend. And what I'm most psyched about is helping to paint my parent's laundromat. I'm planning to enlarge comics with a laundry/laundromat motif on all the walls. And, yes, there are comics with laundry motifs. Again, looks great in my head, but we'll see how it turns out. And then the next weekend is Comic Con! I know, I know, what a loser. But I've always wanted to go and I'm signed up to volunteer which means free entrance!
I should be studying for my math final. Like really really studying. So this is all for now.

Why I never kept a diary...
This is precisely why I never kept a diary...I don't have the dedication required to write in it consistently....
My first and last entry was waaaaayyy back in April before my birthday. Since then, I turned 21, finished my third year of college and declared a math minor. I don't want to make all my entries so much about school, but since school dominates my life, I can't really help it.
I'm taking summer classes for the first time ever. And I've gotta say, I'm not liking the pace and workload, and especially the part that requires me to spend time indoors studying during my summer break when I should be at the beach. But just two more grueling weeks until my classes are done, and I can enjoy my summer.
Aside from school and research, I've recently, as in the past month or two, started reading fashion/style blogs. I'm totally obsessed. My daily routine goes like this: wake up; check fb, twitter, fav blogs, school email, other email; breakfast; class; research; class; dinner; check fb, twitter, etc.; sleep. And thoughout the day (especially when bored in class or research) I check each of those sites several more times from my phone. I started following Leproust Vintage which led me to Kendi Everyday and eventually to Clothed Much. All of which I have been reading religiously the last few weeks. Elaine at Much Clothed is so creative with what she's got; her closet looks so minimal, but she still puts together great outfits. I even spotted a skirt I own but haven't managed to wear successfully in her closet photo. So I looked back through her old posts to see how she styled it, and now, with some ideas, I really want to give it another try. And Clothed Much deserves a special mention because I just won her Lime Ricki swimwear giveaway! I still can't believe I won!
Anyway, tomorrow night I'm going to some art show with my sister, Jessica. 100 artist interpretations of Satan. Sounds pleasant, right? I'm required to go at some point for my art class, and tomorrow night's the opening, and there's like a whole shindig: free food, bar, etc. I'm told that it's the best night to go.
Okay, I'm going to make a conscious effort to post again at least once a week...and maybe after I've got that down, I'll bump it up to several times a week. We'll see how it goes.

Where I stand
I've been meaning to start a diary. I've never kept one before, but with graduation and my whole future looming in the distance, I wanted somewhere to reflect. In the end, I was too lazy and stingy to get an actual diary, so now I'll blog.
I finally heard back from the internship to which I applied. I didn't get it, but no surprise there; I was not, by far, the most qualified person. But I will not be deterred. I am cleaning up and updating my resume and applying to as many more internships as I can. I think I need some sort of real industrial chemistry experience to help me decide whether I want to get my B.S. and start working, or whether I should start applying to grad schools or PhD programs. I have mandatory department advisement with my research professor next week, and he always asks what I plan to do after graduation, and I always reply teach, work, or go to grad school, which is basically just naming all the possible choices. I wish I was one of those people who always knew what I wanted to do for a living. I always figured I'd end up in some sort of creative or artistic profession, but I didn't pursue it, and so here I am 18 units away from finishing my degree in chemistry and no clear idea of where I'm headed. I'm just trying not to worry too much about my future, in the end, I have faith that it will all work out the way it's meant to.
For now, I'm going to lay down in bed read my magazine and attempt to sleep since I hardly slept at all last night. Then I have a fun day full of homework and papers to look forward to tomorrow.
