Room Tour

As you may know, I am currently living at home, and will be for at the very least the next year of college. As a show of gratitude for caving to their will, my parents gave me my own room in December. I've been decorating ever since, so I thought I would do a room tour post!
This is my dresser and one of my bookcases. 

My bed and the Christmas lights over my window. 


Snow Patrol is my soundtrack of choice for the evening. 


My desk. I'm currently trying to learn to use oil pastels (and it is not going well) so it is a mess right now. 


I keep my Bible, devotional, planner, stationary, journal, Self Therapy notepad, and a medical encyclopedia on the shelf next to my alarm. I currently have a vanilla candle burning, and I'm drinking a delightful cup of Earl Grey tea. 



On the other side of the shelf is where I have all of my school and art supplies. Since I'm using them right now, it's chaos. 

Wide view of the desk area. 



Another book case, which is usually more full. However, I already sold back last semester's books and have not yet purchased next semester's (because I am broke), so it looks sad right now. 



Wall art of owls. (Purchased at Home Goods.) It says "Being with you makes me happy."


My bulletin board, which I use for cards, things people have made me, souvenirs, and some of my own artwork. 


Wall of art made by me (all quotes from songs and books). 


The inside of my closet. I have things separated by type of clothing and then colored coded. 


The door of my closet, where I have a basket for scarves, wallets, clutches, etc., and a rack for bags (and my cheat shirt from Business Law, which I for some reason can not bear to throw out.)



More wall art. The S was a gift from one of my best friends. You can't really see it in the picture, but it has my name and little phrases that describe either me or things she and I did together. 


More wall art (and a contracts flow chart I keep meaning to take down now that finals are over, but it was a good memory and a pretty chart, so I'm working my way up to it.) All the art is my own, except the hedgehog painting which my sister made for me. 

So yeah, that's my room! Next time, I think I'll do a post on the wall art specifically so you can see what I spend most movies I watch at home doing!

Lots of Love,

Sophie

Ahhhhh Relax (i.e. do people ever do this, cause I don't)

Let's face it, I'm a premed business management major. I'm taking 19 hours and I work 11 hours in addition to volunteer work. Relaxing is not something I do pretty much ever. And usually I'm okay with that. I love being busy. It makes me happy. But sometimes, I just can't take it anymore. At any given moment, I'm under enough stress to kill a lab rat. But next week is going to be especially difficult, for many reasons. Let's take a look at my Tuesday and Wednesday next week:

Tuesday:
Great Works II: King Lear paper due. (worth 20% of grade)
(15 minutes later)
Survey of the Old Testament: Quiz 3
(15 minutes later)
Principles of Accounting 1: Exam 1
(15 minutes later)
Legal Environment of Business: Exam 1

Wednesday:
General Biology 2: Exam 1
Microeconomics: CPA #11 due
Work 11:30-5 pm

Yeah. Not fun. I'm a bit stressed. Come Wednesday night, there will be no homework done. I'm going to relax so as not to have a panic attack. Here's the plan:

1) Change into comfy clothes
2) Drink hot tea
3) Eat dinner with family while watching British television
4) Take bubble bath
5) Grey's Anatomy (1 episode to remind myself why I do this to myself)
6) Sleep. 

Ahhhh that sounds blissful. I look forward to it already. And the thought that this is going to happen is what is going to keep me alive this weekend as I study for all these exams and write these papers.

Lots of Love,
