time, time, and time again

The end of the school year is coming up so fast. I hate to be the emotional sensitive kid I am, but I can’t help it!! Today was Students’ Councils last meeting and it was just really sad. The meeting itself wasn’t particularly sad, although at the end of the meeting all the Councilors said their own little “good-bye it was fun” speech. I was realizing everything was wrapping up and coming to an end. We planned the budget for the next year’s board and it just hit me really hard because the next meeting of SC will be in the fall. I can still remember this year’s first meeting clearly, well I remember my interview to become a councilor most vividly actually. I was scared that I wouldn’t get the position, although I always did have the confidence in the back of my mind because I could recall my very extensive history with student governance.

I remember walking into Council Chambers not knowing a single person. Everything was so new and shiny and the people… they all knew what they were talking about, and it was quite intimidating I have to admit. Now I can freely express myself around them. I’ve grown so fond and comfortable with them I couldn’t imagine governance without them. Now, today, when I was peering outside the Council Chambers windows it looked like spring, the sun was setting and lit up the sky is magnificent colors of orange to pink. Everything’s over and the cycle will be starting up again. I have to thank SA for the many things it’s done for me; I’ve changed for the better as a advocate, as a student, but mostly as a person. I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunity to participate in such an organization.

The weather is a wakeup call. Things are boiling down. Time to put my gears to full throttle… There’s not much time left.

an excretion of my daily life

If you know me you might have noticed that I've been a bit off and desolated for the past week or so. You see I'm a semi-believer in fate and destiny (basically greater forces somewhere helping me make decisions in my life). Well a lot of things just wern't working out for me and I kind of just felt like digging a hole and staying in there. But, yesterday a whole change of events took place for me. Everything fell into place, which reinforced my faith in this force. It doesn't want me to be miserable... it actually wants me to go places in life.

Here's the "note" I wrote to lookbook... because it actually meant that much to me.

A second attempt

I’ve come in realization and regret of my last request to become a member of the lookbook.nu community. It was silly and foolish of me to display such selfish reasons for wanting to become a member of your website. The lack of thought and impulsive nature all resulted to produce an unappealing and unattractive application. So, for all those reasons and more I would like to start again. As if the first time never happened.

To be a lookbook.nu member means so much more than to just be able to post outfits and to rate other members. The nature of lookbook.nu is quite awe-inspiring in itself. People from around the world can exchange ideas with other people who share a common interest. As a member you have the power to inspire and invoke people’s ideas and thoughts about fashion. As a member of lookbook.nu I would love to share my creativity and love of fashion, to hopefully inspire other people on this website as they have inspired me. Thank you.

I got in! On my own terms and everything. Thank you lookbook.nu for acceptance and closure.

I'm going to see Coldplay live on June the 16! I'm superr pumped. I plan to religiously listen to just Coldplay albums until their concert so I can sing along to all their songs :) it'll be great. Thanks Emily soo much. You're a great friend.
