I Dream of Travel

As of late I have been spending my time doing light reading, adventuring the great wilderness, and dreaming of travel. I have lately come to realize that my desires for the future  are in fact somewhat out of reach, however, I have also come to realize that where I am now will not get me there. So I have been sitting, planning, plotting, and quite frankly dreaming of a future for myself where I have everything I want. Let no one say that achieving all of your dreams is easy for surely it is the biggest challenge of all. Well why don't I go back a little bit for all of you lovely people who read this. Although, sometimes I have no idea if anyone reads this at all.  

Well about two weeks ago my best friend from Finally Freckled and I went to Lake Berryessa. Which is about 45 minutes from Napa, California. We got our sandwiches, tea, water, and chips and headed up with our beach towels and my boyfriend. Lately he and I have been drifting but thankfully he agreed to come and see me for his spring break because I went down for mine. He drove because he is a sweetie...usually. He's the top left, I realize y'all have never seen him before so, here he is dorkiness and all. 

Well we stayed for about two hours and soaked up the sun, tested the waters, and took many pictures together. Oh, and of course we ate our sandwiches! Meanwhile I have taken up some light reading recently. I am halfway through Tale of Two Cities; just started Ernest Hemingway's compilation of short stories; also am going to start Henry V by William Shakespeare.

Finally I am busy planning many trips with Finally Freckled, including our near adventure to college we hope! So far our travel plans are extensive and detailed, however, I am almost entirely positive that by the time we graduate and it is time for this trip that more than a few details will change.

Side note I got a sweet lanyard based on the art work Starry Night by Van Gogh and a super cute book phone case that's a map too!!! I promise I will post tomorrow and Friday! An update on my relationship, and maybe on something else very entertaining. It may seem boring to you but this is my life as of late.

Kayla's Kicking my Butt

It's Sunday y'all!!

 I have been in Southern Cali. since Thursday visiting my man and I love it the weather is fantastic 80 degrees and above every day! I have been getting my tan on, enjoying the sun, and relaxing. I of course had my usual course load of homework including the essay but I took my best friend from the blog Finally Freckled's advice and laid in the sun, did about an hour at a time, and did not distract myself during with social media or anything. Needless to say its done, I'm happy, now I can relax till I leave tomorrow afternoon *sad face.*

The homework moutain

The gorgeous Mojave desert sun!

On another entirely different note. About two weeks ago me and my best friend, who has her own blog called Finally Freckled at finallyfreckled.com, purchased Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide Weeks 1-12. We both saw so many people with great results from her program and both decided we want to get on top of being not only skinny, but healthy and in shape. Week 2 is coming up and so far I am so sore but feeling good and getting more and more motivated! The program is intense not something you should do halfheartedly! However that being said on Kayla's website (https://www.kaylaitsines.com.au/) there are free downloadable work outs so you can see and try out the exercises and if you think you can do those then I would recommend her guide. 

I won't be posting weekly progress shots although I will be taking one every week, instead I will be posting an update every 4 weeks so you can all so how much of a change there is. So far there isn't much change although I feel more energized and excited for my workouts. Don't be fooled though they are so hard! Tomorrow I will post the before shot.

Photography

This semester I am finishing some of my general ed classes for transferring and the art class I chose was Photography 120. So I am working with how to take good pictures, so far I love it and thought I would share a picture with you! These are just fun pictures I have been taking to get to know the camera I am using which is a Cannon T3i.

This is my friends doggy sulley :)

Im on my way to go take more! I will try to post as many as I can for y'all

They Can Sense It

So this last week was the first actual week of school and I am keeping up well between the reading and writing notes in every class that I have. You know for college classes they say that for ever hour of class you spend you should spend 2 hours studying for that class, sounds easy enough right. Well it isn't! Thankfully you have all these other outgoing kids in your class to study with *sarcasm*, in the end your on your own honestly. However, recently I have noticed a strange occurrence in my life and it honestly has nothing to do with the studying. So since my amazingly loving boyfriend and best friend of a little over a year moved down to Apple Valley, 448 miles from me, I have been alone here. With the exception of my friend and fellow blogger Finally Freckled I haven't hung out with many other people especially from school. Now a LDR (Long Distance Relationship) does a few things when you love the other person very much the main two are that you feel alone and you feel vulnerable.

Now I kid you not that I'm serious about what I say next. THE MALE GENDER CAN SENSE YOUR VULNERABILITY! I'm not kidding I swear there must be a giant yellow sign on my back that says "This one right here, she's sad and missing her man so now is the time to STRIKE!" If there any guys out there please feel free to correct me. The only conundrum I have with this is what I think is something every girl has which is that its never when you are single. For example; about a month before my current long term man was in the picture I had no guys interested, there was literally zero men who would even flirt with me. But now, now is a whole another story! After being in a relationship for longer than a year I still have men asking me out, constantly. This week alone the numbers are reaching the double digits, so maybe its the sadness of missing him, or maybe they sense I am weak but all I know is I won't ever understand men. 

I miss him but the countdown is on because I'll be driving down to him to see him for valentines day weekend. So worth it.

Books, Books, Books

We all know how it goes at the beginning of the year you go to all your classes then you get the books. Once you have the books then you have to start the reading and the notes then next thing you know you have a pile of homework and no life! Because of this I will probably only be posting every once in a while.

If it makes you feel better look at all these books I have to read, notate, and answer hundreds of in book questions. Enjoy your freedom internet friends!
