Bonfire Smell

Last night was my cousin Lillian's birthday party. We had a bonfire! Now, I have mixed feelings about bonfires. I like them because they usually mean hotdogs and smores, but I dislike them for a few reasons. One of those reasons is the smoke. "But Callie, smoke follows beauty!" Yeah, the smoke could follow a moth, I really don't care, I just don't want the smoke following me around the fire when I'm just trying to roast a marshmallow, okay? The second reason is the day-after smell. When you go home, go to sleep, wake up, and realize your hair STILL smells like crackling fire. Then, your pillow smells like it. Oh, and then you figure out that your scarf, jacket, gloves, pants, and even SHOES smell like it. Then you get in your car to go to work and your CAR smells like it! Like, how does that even happen!? The third is the coughing. I really don't even know where to *smoke flies into face and engulfs vocal chords and restricts any conversation from happening*
You get my point.
However, I did eat lots of smores, and Lillian's present from all of us was giving her money to go adopt a wildcat named Santania at the Turpentine Wildlife Rescue center. (:
Happy Fall!

Final Review

I'm actually quite disappointed in myself with this project. I found it very difficult to even have access to a computer everyday to make a blog post every day, or even have the time to. Working thirteen hour shifts and then remembering to make a blog post was not easy in the least. However, I LOVED designing the blog and when I did make posts to it, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed having the freedom to write what I pleased and I did enjoy reading other people's material. If we continue with this activity or start it up again in the future, I will really have to try and remember or make sure I always have access to a computer/ laptop in order to keep up with this assignment. I am very disappointed in myself for only making nine blog posts out of the, what, thirty? That is usually not like me. I am usually on top of my assignments but lately I have been slacking and becoming very confused with my schedule and becoming very forgetful. As I get further into my first semester of college AND online classes, I am finding it very difficult to find a schedule that I can stick to. Because of this, I am also forgetting deadlines and even chores I'm supposed to be doing around the house. I think this project helped me realize not only how to write fluently, fearlessly, and without question, I think it also helped me realize that I need to start working harder to prioritize things and perhaps trying harder to accomplish things on time.

Procrastination

You know,  haven't been keeping up with school lately. I really should start doing my blog posts more often... considering the fact that I have only made seven. SEVEN. Man... maybe my life is just that boring. Maybe I really just have nothing to type about. I mean, I don't really do anything other than the things I've typed  about. I work, I teach, I go to school... I mean occasionally you'll find me at Hurts donuts buying a maple bacon bar, but, that's basically all my life consists of. Maybe I need to create more experiences to blog about. I will certainly have to get back on track ASAP.
