march 4

not much has went on lately! my life has basically been consumed by the graduation project, and i swear to myself and everyone else that i will be done with that research paper by tuesday. thats the "proposed" deadline for everyone. but anyway, this project has helped me to be so organized. i use my planner like crazy, as you can see. i love it though. i have a new love for office supplies and stacks of paper. i especially love paper clips. please dont judge me by this! im weird, i know. i love being organized though.

i think i want to go to grad school. im transferring (hopefully) to greensboro, so ill probably just stay there after the two years for graduate school. exciting, i know.

my hair is starting to fade a lot. :( i kinda want to put some blonde highlights in it. i think that might look good with the red. but i dont want really dramatic blonde that looks fake. my hair just really gets on my nerves. its had its run and its just not pretty anymore. i need to get a lot more layers, or something.

tyler and i were making fun of those aspca commercials with the sarah mclachlan song. seriously? there's starving children everywhere, even in this town, and theyre trying to guilt us into caring more about animals. i mean, animal abuse by no means is okay. im just saying.

anyway i just wanted to say that EMILY LIPE MAKES ME LIVID. and we are NOT changing all the hard work i did for the senior edition. i spent hours finishing all that typing, and afterwards dealt with burning wrists. im just preparing myself for presentation day and everyone criticizing the yearbook. everyone can suck it! love, skylar and tyler.

im still livid, mostly because i love that word.

i woke up with bright red hair today. i gotta get used to it, but i really like it. its something different and thats what i needed.

they told us all of the spring due dates for the grad project. i get stressed even when i hear that word. or those words. tonight im going to the library for it. gag. i need a print source, and its hard to find newspaper articles online about print journalism. so to the library im going.

i dont have much to say today. im stressed and flustered and not in the right mindset to blog. so more tomorrow.

i'm back on track today. hey hey! i decided i'm going to start including pictures i find every day. how exciting, right!? a lot of these are courtesy of ashley brown's tumblr page. and yes, i want a little baby hedgehog! how could you ever resist such a sweet baby face? when did i become the type of person that gets giddy over hedgehogs?

yesterday i drove by and found the apartments that i was talking about. they are on weaver drive. i wrote down the number but i still havent called to get a pricing. i will by the end of this week i guess. theyre so cute, i really hope theyre not out of my price range. they have white brick and dark brown doors. and the stair railings are black iron. theyre pretty. i hope i can get one. ill have to post a picture on here soon.

we finished the movie phenomenon today in psychology. id never heard of it, but it has john travolta (<3) in it and kyra sedgwick (sp?) and it was so good. thats all i have to say about that. i have a feeling we're going to be watching a lot of movies in there.. that class is beyond boring. i've seen a lot of white rats being tested for psychological constructs this week and i might just die.

i got a valentines card from my dad yesterday :) they have a really small selection of cards, so the one he sent had puppies and said "god must love me, because he gave me a great friend like you". dad wrote beside friend: "/daughter" man, i miss him. they just moved him to a medical camp, and im not sure really what that means, but he said it sucked. he told me it was a lot like 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' (thats a book that was written in the sixties.. i recommend it for a laugh or two). i feel so bad for him. could you even imagine being in a situation like that. its depressing to even think about. hes strong though. and he comes up for review in march, thank god.

im dyeing my hair tonight. yay. redhead induction tonight. i hope i dont look like a ginger. i mean i hope its a mix, like what i posted yesterday in the pictures of HW. crossin' my fingers!

tomorrow christian and i have to take our picture for 'born in the wrong generation'. i still think its hilarious that i got that. i didnt know people in the senior class even knew me that well. i guess ill just wear my (AUTHENTIC.. haha) led zep shirt and my reeeally flared pants. and no shoes, duh.
