Five And A Half Hours

I have a research essay due in five and a half hours, and what am I doing? Painting my nails. I just can't get started on this darn thing! Every time I think about it, I get incredibly anxious, and I have to escape. Some of my old escape methods were quick fixes that enabled me to get on with it, but they also weren't very healthy, so I'm avoiding those. My escape right now is watching Zoella and other vloggers (particularly book vloggers) on YouTube. At least I'm not marathon-ing Doctor Who on Netflix instead, right...?

Also, important announcement: I have decided to be a vlogger!

And not just a vlogger of ordinary day things (mostly because those aren't interesting at all), but a vlogger of books; hauls, reviews, favorites, all kinds of stuff. I'll also have another blog set up to work with my vlog work. Links will follow once everything is set up enough to my satisfaction.

Five and a half hours...


...yup, I'm screwed.

Clothes And Grades And Things

1. I went shopping yesterday and bought four GORGEOUS shirts and an accessory belt (the belt was only $1) and now I'm looking amazingly gorgeous. Apparently plaid fit-and-flare button-up shirts look amazing on me.

2. With both of my research essays due this week, it looks like I actually have to start working on them now instead of panicking about them all day and having nightmares about them (alright, alright, so I haven't really had nightmares about them yet, but I can assure you that they're coming).

3. NULC is this week! I cannot express just how excited I am!

4. I got my hair cut into a '60's mod/'20's flapper bob. I've finally gotten my hair long enough to hint at an A-line bob, and the long it gets, the more defined the A-line will get to be. I'm officially out of pixie styles!

5. I'm really freaking out about the end of the semester and getting everything done. I haven't been keeping up with work these past two semesters, and my grades have really fallen behind. A lot. Like, last semester I got two B's and three C's -- not a single A. And while I could chalk it up to extremely hard classes and having a job and something really big and life-changing happening, those sound like excuses to me, not legitimate reasons. Because there are tons of people who go through similar things and still manage to care and work and get good grades. I really hope that I can get my school mojo back.
