~ the weekend ~

Whoever first formed the concept of time, and the calender, and decided that there should only be two days per weekend was a bitter person and I would curse their name if I knew what it was.

  But with my New Year's resolution to not complain so much in mind, I will take whatever time I can get and not think about it coming to an end.

Yesterday I got all my homework done, ran some errands (and bought new shoes), and had a great dinner.  Then I watched Birdman (so good), ate strawberries on soy ice cream, and went to bed.

Today I got up semi-early, ate a big breakfast, and then spent a beautiful day at St. Marks, walking around the old fort and disconnecting from the stressful things in my life.

Tomorrow it's back to studying and going to bed before midnight, but first, The Oscars!  I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

~ oscar sunday ~

It's finally here: THE OSCARS!!!!  (as you can probably tell, I'm a little bit excited)

Maybe it's the deep connection I feel to the classic glamour of the red carpet, maybe it's the love I have for Benedict Cumberbatch...whatever the reason, I am unbelievably excited for tonight.  Since I lack the connections, I'm spending tonight snuggled up on the couch in sweatpants with the family, but here's what I wore for my pre-pre-pre-Oscar party a few nights ago!

And my date for this evening?

Let the countdown begin!  Who are you rooting for?

xoxo,
