I really never listen to Taylor Swift, but I saw that it was featuring the Civil Wars, so I clicked play. So happy I did. This is such a great song! take a listen. It won't disappoint.

Good news or bad news first?
lets go bad news...
Well, I didn't get RA, which I was pretty bummed about, but I feel like God is really teaching me some things and has a much better plan for me for next year than I had planned for myself. On the bright side of things I get to go camping with my entire family up in the Sierra Mountains in late August, which I wouldn't have been able to do if I got RA. Every cloud has a silver lining right?
now the good news...
I get to hang out with my sister, Leslie, and brother-in-law, Nick, in 14 days! I AM SO EXCITED!
also...
My Warby Parker glasses came in the mail yesterday, I finally won't get headaches when I read or try to focus on PowerPoints in class!!!
tell me what you think of them!

{happy Tuesday!}

Off to Addictions class, lots to fill you all in on but I have not the time...
Here's a little piece of what I love to get you through till the next post ;)



and that is why I named my guitar after Glen.

{Chaos}

{I couldn't help but post this picture!}

So much chaos in my head right now. So many things are due this coming week and I have yet to finish one task because my brain is so scattered! I can't focus at all, so I have taken a writing break to talk to you all. I need it. I don't know if its because I find out if I got RA on Monday, or in 19 days I get to fly to Boise, Idaho and see my sister and her husband who I haven't seen since I don't know when! Just so many distractions!
in other news...

Lately I have been on a Jim Croce and Niel Young high, so I have been listening to what my dad calls his "army days" music. Maybe some Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash will get me to focus back to my writing. Who knows.

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart: await occasions, hurry never...this is my symphony."

-William Henry Channing

{Warby Parker}

So I need new glasses, I just hate how expensive they are. Well here is an affordable way to get great looking glasses and also, along with getting awesome glasses, you help provide funding to give glasses to someone in need. Warby Parker does just that and it is fantastic that they don't just give glasses, but empower and teach the people how to create small businesses and sell the glasses too. Watch the video, it is so cool!
