Holla.
I have had the privilege to have weekends off. Like seriously, Saturday and Sunday were both included in my 'days off'. I took the opportunity to take a trip down to Portland. Honestly, my mind was really only set on heading down to the Deschutes Brewery Pub slash restaurant. Food was amazing. The beer was no doubt on par with my standards.
I've been trying to occupy myself with anything but work-related stuff. I work in retail so it really isn't like I have work to take home or I can work remotely from home. I wish. What I mean is to really prohibit from thinking about work stuff when I'm not at work. I have been reading a ton of books mostly Political Economy-related. But perhaps I could really section out some time to really engage myself in some Illustrator tutorials. I've always been fairly terrible at it.
I almost forgot I had an account over at Treehouse because lately I haven't been able to find the time to get my hands dirty with HTML and CSS even though I really should. Deadlines for the UBCMUN 2016 conference will slowly creep up soon and you know, it'll soon one of those classic horror scenes: that ghostly figure was, I swear, at least 5 miles away from me but all of a sudden that figure appears to be just 10 feet away from me and soon when I turn my head, it'll be right there. That's precisely how I picture deadlines (minus procrastination). Procrastination is like one of those distractions on the way to your destination but got too carried away with. Perhaps I was really determined to head to the post office before it closes, but the temptation to sit at a coffee shop sipping a fancy Americano was too real that I forgot I had the intention to head to the post office. Oops, too late - they are now closed.
Anyway, I literally just got off the phone with my mom. It seemed to be a great plan when I told her I was determined to apply to the Seattle Central Creative Academy. Last time I did a school application was before I was accepted to UW. AND not to mention, I haven't taken math in ages so I've also been working on exercises to regain the skills I've lost in the past 5 years. Plus, my parents will be visiting in August. I think there's an 80% chance that I would be able to head over to San Francisco or Chicago. Time to request time off from work.
