Vulnerability

I finally have time to write a post! Why the finally? Well I moved back to my dorm on Monday and had to start training for SOS (Serving Our Students) mentoring program. Today was the retreat involving the mentees who moved in yesterday. It’s been a busy week, long story short. I really wanted to just get back to school and lounge by the pool haha! But this mentor training had taught me a lot in trusting my own instincts as well as growing into all the problems I have/had ethnically as well as socio-economically. Thank goodness it’s downtime and bed is where I am! Picture time! This is my 5k partner, Jordan, as Jesus:

An outfit.

Nothing really on my mind lately, as I’ve been packing to go back to school. Here’s something I wore the other day though!

Guess dress, GAP studded belt

Excuse the Photobooth quality photo!

Random fashion post!

I was in my ShopStyle app the other night and saw these:

And I realized they are very much inspired by these Christian Louboutins from a season or two ago:

Such filter down to the masses reminds me of that one scene in “The Devil Wears Prada” in which Miranda explains the trickle down effect using Andi’s frumpy sweater.

Summer’s Slipping Slowly

See that? That was alliteration.

Anyways, I’ve been kicked out of both conference rooms in the Mayor’s office, so I’m sitting in the lobby area with the other intern and the receptionist. I really love the receptionist. She’s a freakin’ riot and a gosh darn sweetheart. So I’m sitting on a burgundy couch that’s well oiled and really luxurious looking… I don’t think it’d be comfy to sleep on. I think it’d smell like leather and that oil that they rub on couches like this to make sure the leather doesn’t crack. This couch isn’t even like buttah’ leather. It might be PVC for all I know. Something cool I saw in a cabinet today. Pens made from cardboard and a woodchip for the clip-y part thing where you stick it in your pocket. I don’t make it sound very aesthetically appealing, but they’re cute and ECO-FRIENDLY!

Tomorrow’s my last day in here for the summer. I tried escaping, but my boss is really keen on me staying through the fall semester. But here’s the catch, she’s moving to a different department of City Hall. I guesssss she’ll probably be better suited in her new position. I guess…. I liked her. She has a lot of sass. And I really like her southern accent.

Next train of thought, it’s hot as balls here. 115°F heat index? Really??? Really. I wanna punch something, but that would probably cause me to break into a sweat that would probably flood the area of where I am sitting. Just kidding. I really don’t sweat that much. Only when it’s super humid outside and I’m jogging. Then I get the gross forehead drippy thing going on. That’s about it. Why did I just tell you that? I don’t know. I probably just broke a fuckin’ girl rule right there.

NEWS FLASH. Prop 8 was repealed this afternoon. My thoughts: Okay, fine. Federally it might be recognized as legally alright to marry whomever you may see fit, but until the majority of America accepts it to be the social norm, they’ll just keep appealing it. Look what happened in Argentina. The government passed a law, but the country’s Catholic church is calling it blasphemy and refuses to acknowledge it. NEWS FLASH 2. August 26 is the 90th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. I haven’t voted yet, but I’m registered and going to exercise my abilities when it sees fit. Haha I still have the 50’s housewife dreams though. Sigh.

So this couch is officially hurting my butt.

My internet is an idiot and so is my iPhone.

I had some thoughts, but WordPress on iPhone is a tricky one. I made a list. Number one on this list was that I have come to the realization that being a doctor is not the only career that will deem me successful. Other majors are acceptable. This summer has taught me that. The other thoughts in this list are lost. Effin’ phone… I really love you and would have no other phone though.

I hope this realization brings me luck for this coming semester. I need a good break.
