Thoughts From a Bread Bowl

This morning was weird (four hours of Skype?) , I feel quite disoriented (this could be the excessive amount of coffee), and I am just tired (I don't think I can remember the last time I felt rested. Sigh.) Therefore, I am spending the late afternoon hours at Panera eating comfort food (just look at the deliciousness of that bad boy!) and drinking even more coffee. Bread bowls are genius. It makes me what else you could wrap in bread. The other night I came to Panera with a friend and they had no bread bowls left. If I hadn't been with my best friend I would have probably cried even more than I did. Just kidding. My eyes only got a little watery. What if... you had your coffee in a bread mug? I have an empty bread bowl here, and the luxury of free coffee refills. I may or may not try this. What if... you wrapped yourself in bread every morning? Holy nom.

I loved reading all the comments on my last blog. I love knowing I'm not the only one that has this extensive of a memory. I love knowing that a lot of us share the same memories. I've always thought nostalgia would be the death of me. I live in the past way too often way too much. Not that I'm not just as excited for the future, I'm just unhealthily nostalgic. A little over a year ago my friend attempted to get me out after a bad day. She dragged me to places I had good memories that I probably needed to forget. She just kept on saying, "We're makin' NEW memories in OLD places." I must admit, it works pretty well.

Last night my roomie and I bought Justin Bieber pajamas at Walmart. Pictures. SOON.

Quote: "People say it's artistic and stuff, but I'm like.... you're an egg." Justin Bieber on Lady Gaga's arrival to the Grammys. You can watch the whole interview here from Chelsea Lately. The kid is funny, I'm not going to lie.

One month ago I had everything figured out about the direction I want to take my career. Now I'm confused again. I need to just stop thinking. I have graphic design and public relations. Which do I major in and which do I minor in? Here's the thing. I would enjoy a base level crap graphic design class. I wouldn't so much enjoy a base level crap public relations job. But being in the PR department for an up and coming company would be so fun, and I'd still have enough gd knowledge to freelance a tad (even just for fun) on the side. I love relationships and communities online, and I could talk about them for hours. Would someone please take that sentence and tell me how to get a job out of it and what I need to learn?

But the most important thing is getting a foot in some door, so I think I'm going to buy giant shoes before I move to Chicago. Meh, I'll stop stressing.

LE SIGH. I bet I know more about half of that stuff than some random marketing dork who has three years of experience. 


Six days until BEDA!
