Tea and Rambles

I wonder how much Tootsie Rolls are in there...

I am terribly backlogged with a ton of posts I was supposed to write. Don't think I will get around to posting them all but at least I can put up some pictures for now. I've been super duper since classes started and it seems like this term is going to be killer. I should probably be working on some homework and lab reports right now but I figured since I need to stay sane in some form that I should make a post so that it's not constantly in the back of my mind all the mind. I didn't do much in my last few days of summer vacation (which was technically just 4 days long, yay). 

Bike Philly!

Went to Bike Philly 2011 today and it was a blast! It was the first time I attended the event and probably the first time I've biked 10 miles. Started off going down from the Art Museum and Eakins Oval and into City Hall then Chinatown which I can say had the largest abundance of potholes throughout the whole route. From then it was onto Washington Blvd, passing by Penn's landing, (yes, they closed off all the lanes going south, it was great) and going into Old City and South Philly from there. Biking down through South Philly and Old City was probably my favorite part of the route. The quaint little streets and beautiful row houses made the atmosphere so peaceful. Then from there was back into Center City (seeing all the blocked roads and cars honking and stalling in traffic definitely made my day!) and back up to the Art Museum for food and refreshments. I didn't take any pictures cause I was already all the way near the end so I didn't want to fall behind and it was a bit too cloudy for pictures today anyways. Next year I am definitely going to go the 20 mile route as the 10 mile felt a bit short for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would love to go again next year. Hopefully it'll be sunny next time.

Life as it is...

So I realize I haven't made a post in awhile. I've been extremely busy with work and I'll be ending my co-op/internship next Wednesday and going back to to classes on the next next Monday. Last Labor Day weekend I took a trip down to Ocean City Maryland and NYC, both for one day. I don't think I'll be able to take a break like that until maybe Christmas rolls around. /sad face

The Weekly will from now on be my weekly photo post of random things that don't really fit anywhere else. May be a bit more artsy fartsy than other posts. No captions will be needed.

Massive Review of Pens/Pencils and a Handwriting Analysis (somewhat)

So I just want to put it out there that I am a stationery snob. I love trying out new writing utensils and different types of stationary. I’m very picky about the kind of pen I use and the type of paper I write on. What I’ve gathered from my analysis is the following things:

Likes:

• ballpoint pens
• writing tip of 0.7, no more, no less
• unlined, unmargined paper
• smooth paper + ballpoint OR rough paper + rollerball/gel

Dislikes:

• thin paper + <0.5 tipped pens
• wide ruled paper (who doesn’t?)
• felt tip pens (comparable to the feeling of rubbing Styrofoam pieces together *shudder*)

This can probably all be attributed to the fact that I write with a lot of pressure on paper and with somewhat large wording. My words also seem to clump together a lot and I tend to switch up between script and print. I’m not really sure how to do a handwriting analysis but from what I know (yay for Google), my handwriting shows that I am cluttered, unorganized, and have a lot of anger/resentment. My writing can also be a bit bubbly at times (meaning the loops in my letters are round and large comparable to the lines) which shows that I am a bit naive and immature. So nothing good about me has come from this analysis. Maybe I could say my preference for unlined paper shows that I am carefree and unrestricted (or that I could be spouting total bullshit). Anyways, my analysis is nothing without the actual writing itself so onto the pen reviews!

Random Rambles

Well, it's been a month since my last post (you can tell I'm the kind of person who updates frequently). I have a whole backlog of things I want to say but it seems everything has gone in and over my head as usual. So let's go onto pics!

Alpacas at Kimberton Fair. THEIR FUR IS SO SOFT.  I WANT ONE AS A PET  SO I CAN HUG IT FOREVER. (Loved the one in the back with all the fur in its face; the one in front just kept on salivating everywhere)

First Post!

I'm not too good with introductions so I'll just go into my first entry here.
I am a 5'2" female and I have a Bieber haircut. It's fab. I'm not really sure what prompted me to make this blog but I feel that I should show my uninteresting, random life to the whole entire internet. Yup, that sounds about right.
Now here's a picture of some waffles I made today:

Yeah, it was good. :) I should probably sleep now. It's 3am here.
