Another installment of What I Learned, hooray! My week of being home alone is officially over, boo. The semester starts this coming Wednesday, exciting! Being in class again will definitely help with the staying busy problem I discussed.

 

What I Learned #3

SURPRISE VLOG ATTACK! From now on the "What I Learned" series will be in vlog form. I'm all congested and I never realized how much you rely on breathing through your nose while talking, man it was rough. On to the show (this time with outtakes)!

What I Learned #2

I am recovering from a bad 24 hour sickness thing. I say "sickness thing" because I'm not entirely sure what it was aside from having insomnia and being nauseated. I got to crash at Casey's because I didn't want to be miserable, which I would have been if I just stayed at home.

Anyway! The theory is that my body doesn't tolerate gin which is uh, not fun. Friday night was only the third time I had gin so I'm still not positive if gin was the culprit. The first time I had plenty of other drinks besides the gin and tonics so my illness I was that night can't be pinpointed on the gin (it was my first real night out since turning 21, I did not treat my body like a temple). Then the second time the huge storm happened and I'm pretty sure I slept fine so yeah, who knows. Maybe the heat because of no air conditioning kept me asleep.

On Friday I made this mixed drink that was a float too (with ice cream) and woke up at 2am when the insomnia and nausea started and lasted until Sunday morning! Fun times; I made a mess out of Casey's apartment. In my defense I wasn't in my proper state of mind. This whole occurrence is just another reminder to be careful with alcohol; the quantity and rate of consumption. Yay adulthood!

*Edit: About a week later I got sick after a beer, so maybe there's a bigger issue. Uh oh.

What I Learned #1

Today I am introducing a new series called "What I Learned". With "What I Learned" I will share something I recently discovered about myself. Just like many others I am in the struggle of wondering who I am, what I like, what I believe etc. I am going to start paying more attention to how I feel which will help me have a deeper understanding with myself. These posts will help you, the reader, get to know me more as well.

With out further ado, this week I learned that planning and organizing are probably the funnest things for me. The only thing is that I need to be careful and not hide behind the ideas of the person I want to be. Instead, I should take action be that person.

The lovely photo of my feet is from last week when I went out for a walk to a pond nearby. I semi-planned this walk with the purpose of taking photos and getting out of the house. The walk was good despite the increasing heat, I felt productive and creative. Now for more days with organized action! Haha I like that, organized action.
