"because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing."

So I'm pretty sure I owned both my International Trade and History tests last week. I sure studied enough for them.

I don't remember what I did last week. It was a lot of sewing and studying, though.

Monday night was CBH Pumpkin Carving night. We actually had a pretty decent turnout, and I'm so happy about that. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and they enjoyed the prizes. hehe.

I'm actually making really great progress on my collection. I have one and a half pieces that I HAVE to get done, with two optional shrugs I wanted to add but I don't have to if I don't have time. I'm spending all day today and tomorrow in the sewing lab, so I should get a lot done. Huzzah!

Let's see...life has been super overwhelming lately, I'm anxious about the future, and I felt super duper out of control of my own life. So tonight, when I should have been reading for the history paper I HAVE to get done, I decided it was a good idea to clean my entire apartment.

Now, normally, when I say I'M GOING TO CLEAN EVERYTHING! I scrub one room and end up calling it quits cause I'm too tired.

NOT TONIGHT.

Tonight, I was determined. I keep complaining about how my apartment (and life) is a mess, but I couldn't seem to DO anything about it. I KNOW what I need to do, but I was having issues getting it done. Tonight, I decided I was going to clean everything, do all the dishes, and the laundry, and put all my clothes away. So I did. In less than three hours, too. That has got to be a personal record. I even got to the sewing room, which rarely ever happens.

Generally, the state of my apartment represents the state of my life at that point in time. Three hours ago, my apartment looked like a disaster area. Three hours ago, that's how my life felt. Now, it's organized, even if I still need to dust and vacuum. My life feels much more in my own control now.

Alright, so there's that. What else did I need to tell you about, blog? OH. Well, see, there's this little show I'm in called Fashion for Life. Have you heard of it? Yeah, it's our senior design show. It's November 1st at the Bryant Conference Center at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 6:30, it's $5 for students, $8 for general admission.

YOU ALL NEED TO BE THERE.

In addition to showing my collection, I have been doing a large part of the planning. And by large part, I mean I'm the only student involved in the planning. God bless my PR officer, though. She has been AMAZING in helping me get the word out about it.

So yep. Thursday and Friday will be spent sewing my butt off, my parents get in Saturday, and Tuesday is the show. Then next weekend is the LSU game, which is going to get craaaaazy. I'm so pumped for that.

Ok, enough rambling. I'm proud of my cleaning and I had to share it with the world. Love you bye bye.
