Day 366: ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Monday: February 23, 2015

Wow. It's been a whole year. I almost can't believe it. It's been a hell of a year (in a good way.) When I first started, I didn't think much of it. It was an extra credit photography project. But it's been really amazing going back throughout the year, and I'm so glad I have so many memories preserved here. Naturally, I'm celebrating this milestone with a photo of the puppy. He's been great, just like this past year. 

Day 365: Micro Homework

Sunday: February 22, 2015

It isn't fun or pretty, but it's what I'm working on at the moment. So far, Microecnomics hasn't been too bad. I like it because I did well in Introduction to Marketing, and that was fun. Living in a busy and booming city like Dubai, I figure it's a good idea to get to know it from the business perspective. 

Day 364: Styling Stationery

Saturday: February 21, 2015 

So just an update on the whole sandstorm debacle, it's still sandy and still stormy. My sinuses are still killing me. It's fine, though. I recently got some new stationery from my favorite place ever, Muji, as a late Valentine's Day present from the fam. It's all incredibly awesome and for the sake of maintaining a clean and orderly photo, I couldn't feature it all. But here are some of my faves. 

Day 363: Dust in the Wind

Friday: February 20, 2015

Have I made this pun yet? In any case, it still fits. We've been experiencing a large sandstorm that started yesterday. It's blown in hot, arid, sandy air from who knows where and it's annoying. I went on a run, and woo was that a mistake. The air was so hot, it felt like the earth was personally burping on me. Add in the sand, and my contacts were acting up and I started collecting sand particles in my sinuses, just for funsies. I also got a headache, because why not? I've heard that the US east coast has been piled up with snow and cold weather; I will trade for a day, on the condition they keep all this dreaded sand forever.

Day 362: Ghost Puppy

Thursday: February 19, 2015

I was watching the puppy downstairs, and he wasn't too happy when I started playing my music. For a while now, we've all thought that he'd grown too big to fit under the couches. When we first got him, we lost him a couple of times because he'd just chill under the couch, behind curtains, and in small corners. Apparently, he still fits. And he patiently waited for me to stop my horrid music. I had to coax him out with a treat.

Day 361: Hauls and Things

Wednesday: February 18, 2015

Today has been pretty uneventful other than the fact that I filmed a haul video. It's the first one I've ever done for SparkLife, and in general, and it was pretty fun. I find myself hilarious, and I hope other people do, too. These sunnies were definitely a favorite, because they're rose tinted and spunky. I've also been digging the floral pjs you see in the back. They're so silk and soft, kind of like hugging a dolphin made out of fabric.

Day 360: Game Winning

Tuesday: February 17, 2015

I've had a long, but good day. I went to a meeting in the afternoon [which is so weird, like I've also dealt with tax papers this week and I don't know whose idea it is to give me all this responsibility, like is nobody aware that I'm actually just a really sad slug-potato hybrid???] and it went well. I took notes and all that jazz. Then my brother had a football game, which has been scheduled for today, since a lot of the kids are going to be out of town with their schools. The good ol' Barracudas won, 28-0!! It was an exciting game, I'm pretty sure.

Day 359: Nails and Keratin and Stuff

Monday: February 16, 2015

Today I took off the black nail polish I've been rocking for about a week. It kept peeling and flaking, which wasn't ideal because black nail polish is really obvious. I was pretty surprised to see how much my nails had grown, though. I don't think I've ever had my nails this long. Personally, I don't like longer nails because I will scratch an eyeball out or something. But I've also never been able to grow my nails out, because both of my index finger nails tend to split and break really easily. This is kind of nice, and it makes me feel like maybe I've been doing something right in terms of health.

Day 358: Back at Practice

Sunday: February 15, 2014

It's felt a little weird this weekend, because my little brother had a football game on Saturday instead of Friday, so it seems like the weekend has been chopped a little short. So I'm back at practice today, just doing my usual tutoring thing. My youngest student has a little entourage of fellow little girls, so I've started bring along crayons and scratch paper so that they have something to do while I work on math with her. It's been going pretty well, especially since the little girls are so nice and respectful.

Day 357: Outfit Preparations

Saturday: February 14, 2014

So I don't have plans this Valentine's Day, other than staying home with the puppy and eating chocolate he can't have. BUT I did really want to put together a cute outfit, especially since I have this great heart-printed T-shirt. It was very hot though, and also kinda awkward taking pictures when everybody could see me. I also had to keep my sunnies on for most of the shoot, since the sun was so bright I could't keep them open without squinting a ton.
