IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH: GIMME GIMME MORE?

So dead weak has descended upon us, GREAAAAAT. The week before finals, its basically "study until you're on the brinks of death" week. Coincidentally, it is also the most sun Berkeley has gotten in weeks...THIS HAS GOT TO BE SOME SORT OF A CONSPIRACY! It's like Berkeley is tempting us to give studying the middle finger and, instead, prance around memorial glade under the glorious sun and be HAPPY so we'll end up failing...well, you have NOT succeeded! HA! Not that I still won't fail but at least it'll be all my doing. I'm currently sitting in the dungeon (aka underground study lounge) trying to write a 10 page paper on the infamous...or rather really famous Britney Spears' meltdown of 2007...and I've actually gotten negative work done...literally, I just deleted everything (1 paragraph) that I've written. So instead of frolicking out in the sun, I've decided to blog my worries away! YEAH!

So the post title is the working title of my Britney paper, you dig? I dig! I wonder if I could actually keep it as it is...IT'S JUST SO FREAKIN' BRITALICIOUS! Yes, I went there, I added -LICIOUS, it's like I'm a 7th grader again, I SO WISH I WAS SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE THIS FREAKING PAPER. Rant over.

I'm no longer a baby bear once May 10th rolls around, it's definitely a bittersweet affair. It's true that I'm no longer the bottom of the totem pole, no longer the rut, but, in a way, I kind of loved being the little wittle baby in such a big school. It gave me a cushion for all the mistakes I've made in the past year. Now I no longer have that diaper, that protective sheet, I'm on my own and it's kind of a "make it or break it" moment. Let's see how year 2 goes shall we? Fingers crossed it's full of good friends, good classes, good memories, and good grades! HA! Okay, the last one may be pushing it but a girl can dream can't she?

So these pictures, these purty purty pictures are from the Work It, BARE Series by the ever so lovely, Brittany Curran who is also the Blog Editor of BARE blog and the other Work It, Berk series. This girl is SO talented folks, like SOOO talented! I don't know how she finds the time to update all her blogs, I only have one and I can never seem to squeeze it in, as sad as that sounds. I promise to work on it, especially over summer! I love making my little brobro my personal camera man, MUAHAHA! See you all once finals are over and I'm free as a bird! Well for like two weeks anyways and then summer classes start, THE PAIN NEVER ENDS!

FLOWER POWER

Where did the time go last week? Gahhh, I've been a busy busy busy bee for one! I've had meetings, concerts (okay, just singular but I didn't want to kill me roll of -s!), tons of homework (barf!), events, parties and...a photoshoot! :O

The past weekend was my first BARE photoshoot and it was a fantastic experience! Saturday morning, the committee and I went to pull clothes for the shoot and boy did it make my heart yearn to go shopping for...well, me! Saturday afternoon came the fitting with our beautiful model and it was a bittersweet experience as some things just don't look as good on as it does on the racks, sigh. But nevertheless, we made it work! Sunday was the actual shoot which went from 11-4:30pm, but it was a whole lot of fun, of eating, of merryness, of silly dancing! Can't wait to share it with you guys when it's completely finished, ah! I seriously can't wait for the next one, if only I could do this for a living, I'd die of happiness! I guess glamour does kill...(Okay, funny side note, my glamour kills is so my AIM sn, oh silly middle school me trying to be all hard and whatnot)

Monday was the Hellogoodbye concert! It was freaking delicious! I discovered two more bands that I'm seriously addicted to now...I'm even listening to one RIGHT THIS SECOND :O So, grab a pen and paper or just open up a Youtube page and type in JUKEBOX THE GHOST and listen to anything because they are gold, THEY ARE SO GOOD! After you fall in love with them and their charismatic performances (I can guarantee you they are 100000x better live) listen to GOLD MOTEL, because they're simply presh! All these songs are making me supes excited for the upcoming warm weather, fingers crossed! Hellogoodbye was epic as well, duh, that's just a given. Perfect road trip music, ayyy ay ayy!

My first post in my brand spanking new foodie column, Eat, Blog, Repeat, is up at Caliber Magazine Blog! Go go go, check it out, please please please with a cherry on top of Francisco Lachowski?! (WAIT, NO! Do not imagine that, he's mine, mine, mine, all mine!!!) Let me know if you love it, hate it, if it makes you hungry, if it makes you want to barf, CRITICIZE ME! I'M GIVING YOU PERMISSION! Be kind though, I'm like a delicate wittle panda bear and you simply can't be mean to little pandas! And if you do, you need to click the little red X and get off of my blog because I cannot and will not tolerate such atrocious behavior!

LOOK MA! I'M FAMOUS!

It's been a hectic and frantic week filled with reading, hi-lighting, note taking and book buying, ah the perils of coming back to Cal. Again, sorry I've been neglecting you, you unloved unappreciated blog, figurative tears are streaming down my cheek as we speak. School's been insanely busy! I have classes from 8AM-3PM almost daily and I'm constantly tired, sleepy, excited, bored, happy, silly, laughing, angry, and even more of an array of emotions and emoticons { :) :( -___- >:) -___~ @___@ :P :D and mucho mucho more!} And since I've been phoneless (due to a little drunken mishap, as explained in the post below) I'm been kind of MIA and antisocial and just plain getting my shiz together (I've already spent time in the library, yes I'm a flat out nerd), WOOT! I'm definitely enjoying my classes and material way more this semester, I mean, I'm taking a class where I get to read Peter Rabbit and Ronald Dahl! (children's lit, oh yeah, be jealous!) And it's nice to have classes where the music, art, and architecture classes are, it's certainly a nice change of scenery, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT *WINK WINK!*

BUT ANYWAYS, GUSSSH! The icing on top of my already delicious fatty red velvet cheesecake is this little amazing photo sess I had with Brittany from BARE magazine for the Work It, Berk's Work It, Bloggers series. Brittany is beyond cute, sweet, hilarious and she was even a little awkwardly cooky with me (I mean, we were having a photo shoot smack dab in the middle of campus, NBD). I feel so special to be among these stylish CAL bloggers, I feel like a real blogger now, YEAH!

Check it out in all of it's glory!
