Life with Madi

The first thing would be the fashion show.  I'm proud of myself for sucking up my self-conciousness and feeling confident when I walked out on the runway, and for agreeing to do it.  BUT most of all, I'm just proud of Molly, since her idea was amazing and she executed it so well!  My sister's going to be famous, y'all.

Today, I embraced my inner Gisele and Tyra and walked the catwalk for my sister's Fashion Merchandising runway show.  I was nervous at first, but ended up having a blast.  And something I realized?  I'm just a tad fierce.

I'll post some photos of the show tomorrow, but for tonight, I'll post my Day 8 blogger challenge.

Short term goals for this month:
1. Pay for everything I need to pay for: yearbook banquet, ILPC attendance money, Colorado State deposit, etc.
2. Sign up for Freshman Orientation.  (This is sounding more like a to-do list).
3.  Find time to read what I want! I'm always too busy procrastinating or sitting in front of the TV.  Once I learn better time management, I'll have more time for leisurely reading.
4.  Have a just-for-me night.  A night spent by myself, where I'll make a nice dinner for myself and watch whatever I want...by myself.  Just one night, though, because then I'll get lonely.
5.  Finish a homework assignment earlier than 10:00 pm?  God, I'm such a teenager when it comes to homework.

And that's it for now!  It's actually good to see all my goals laid out in front of me, almost like a checklist.  It's very helpful!

Pictures to come tomorrow,

I've been telling everyone it's a road trip, but in actuality it only took me about 20 minutes to drive to my sister's apartment in Denton.  I guess it felt like a road trip since A) I had to use the GPS, B) I was flyin' solo, and C) Highway 35 has a very deserted, road-trip-y feel.  It was fun.  After all, my GPS only toppled down from the window twice (the first time I had to pull over to fix it, and the second time I had to fix it while driving my car 75 miles an hour with only my knees used to steer).   I felt like such a college kid, drivin' back to my college town.  Only when I really drive to my college town, it's going to take a lot longer than 20 minutes to get there (try 18 hours).

I meant to take a picture of me driving and post it, all road-y and fun, but I forgot.  As a substitute, I will post my road trip playlist that got me here without wanting to pull my hair out.   Here it is:


1. Cherry Bomb- The Runaways
(a little badass-ery to start my trip out right)

2. Gotta Reason- Hard-FI
(It's so upbeat and fun.  There's no way I wasn't shakin' a shoulder or bobbing my head.  This song is downright CATCHY)

3. Fans- Kings of Leon
(This is my all-time favorite KOL song.  When they played it at the concert I attended, I nearly dropped dead.  It reminds me of barbeques and summertime and sunglasses and late afternoon.  I love it.)

4. Someone Like You- Adele
(Such a sad song, about how someone she loved has a great life now and is married and all that jazz.  Don't worry, Adele, you'll find someone like him!)

5.  How- Maroon 5
(This is such a cliche love song, but I love cliched love songs so that's GREAT.  It's wonderful.)

As for the person or event that has affected me the most, I guess I'd have to say Natalie Brown.
