Snow in January...who knew!

Oh Louisville. Any form of slightly intense weather cripples you.
I've been out of school since Tuesday(it is now Friday) and I think I'm getting cabin fever. I want to get back to class and start learning again! College isn't supposed to get canceled...I could WALK to it. Sigh.

On the bright side, I finished my STA Internship video application and am now waiting for it to be posted. It IS on YouTube, in case you want to watch it, comment on it and rate it. Please.
Watch it here!
I'm so excited about this video, and about this internship. I just keep thinking positively and envisioning myself getting it. So it'll be even worse if I don't get it! I kid. I'm crazy confident about this.
I have a few backups though, no worries.

I don't know what to do with myself today. I could put away laundry...I could go sledding...I could do dishes...I could go sledding...hmm.

I think I have an idea.
I hope you all stay warm and safe!

And that's what she said.

I'm a real artist now!

My art video got accepted into the KY Girlhood Project art exhibit!!
A piece of my art is going to be in a real show, in a real gallery, surrounded by other real artists!
I just can't believe it. I'm so incredibly happy about this, and really proud of myself. I never thought I could accomplish something like this in the art world.

Here is the video.



One video down, one to go!


Oh, and I've finally thought of a clever sign off. I can't believe it didn't occur to me before.

And that's what she said,
Natalie.

Here I am, sitting on my wonderful twin bed.

Ohhhh Bellarmine. How I've missed you. It's been so wonderful settling back into everything here.
I have an interesting new perspective on life that I'm trying out.
It goes a little something like this: Not everyone is out to get/ruin you. Your friends actually care about and love you, and you should appreciate them. Oh, also, have fun and quit stressin'.

I think I have in rose colored contacts. And I LOVE it! I've been soooo happy the past few days, and I really don't want it to go away.
I can just feel my cynicism melting away. Which is pretty silly.

My buddy Jon and I are watching House. Hooray! :)

Oh sigh. I love everything.
Weird.


Bye bye!

Almost back

I've been getting ready to go back to Louisville today. What a daunting task. I leave early on Sunday, so I don't have much time left.

Surprisingly, this has been one of my most enjoyable breaks since beginning college nearly 3 years ago. (Eek! Three years?!) It's probably because I really, really needed it. Finals were a living hell for me. Gosh, I can't wait till the end of this upcoming semester! :P

Aside from packing, I've been consumed by one thing, and one thing only. I mentioned it in my last post. I am a girl obsessed.
I keep watching my video and making little tweaks to it. I don't think this first one will be the one I send in, though. I need time to make sure my video is perfect, and my application even more so.

PS-Making videos in iMovie is sooooo fun! It was surprisingly easy too. It only took me about 45 minutes to fully understand. I bet there are nifty tricks I still don't know about too. Maybe I'll do some reading on it.

Speaking of iThings, I need to take my Mac into the shop when I get back to Louisville. Poor thing has needed a new casing since I bought it used this summer. He will look so shiny and new when he is fixed.

Speaking of shiny and new, I got a haircut a few days ago. I quite like it. Penny, my stylist, is so silly, and I love her.

Anyhoo, I guess I'll go now.

Till Next Time,
Natalie.

Slow down, you crazy child. You're so ambitious for a juvenile.

Happy 2009!

I decided on my resolutions a little after midnight, since we went around in a circle and told them.
1) To secure a kick-ass internship,
2) To lead a more eco-friendly life.

:)

I have plenty more self changes I'm making, but those are private, thankyouverymuch.

I was told today that my aspirations are awesome, haha. I was very flattered. I said in return, "I figure if all my aspirations are awesome, I have to achieve at least one, and I won't be disappointed!"
I think it works.

I'm currently working on a video application for an STA Travel Internship. It's basically the internship I've been looking for my entire life. They pay for me to travel around the world, and I get to make video blogs and regular blogs and take pictures and they put them on their website. So I'm in the process of creating several videos and then picking my favorite.
It's pretty boss.
Yeah. Boss. I said it.

If I don't get the internship I'll cry a lot and then spend an entire year making another video for next year, haha.
It pretty much solves every problem I've ever had with traveling. And I only have one problem: money.
I hate to complain about something like that, but I'm already in serious debt due to loans for school and such, so it actually is a real problem for me.

But blah, blah, blah I'M SO EXCITED! :)


In other news, 2008 can suck it, and it better be jealous of how awesome 2009 is going to be.

Personification is my buddy.


...see what I did there? Hehe.

Alright, it's late and I'm turning into a nutjob.

Love.

Till Next Time,
Natalie.
