shopping haul!!

hello again dear readers, i’m finally making a new post! after not having any ideas on what to cover i finally found some inspiration from youtube, but this will not be a video blog, i’m camera shy when it comes to video taping ( never liked my voice recorded ) so this is purely writing. and pictures of course!

at the beginning of every school year my favorite part of getting ready has been supplies shopping, and now that i'm in college it's only gotten worse! now instead of only having one start of the year i have three quarters to get ready for. this spring i had used up all my spiral notebooks and my folder fell apart last quarter so it was time for school shopping, and also other shopping as well. i can never leave target with just what i came for:)

first off is my lovely folder and notebook paper. i went another step past just composition books and went for flat paper. being a lefty, it's impossible to write in notebooks because the binding is always in the way, so now there isn't that problem. and i liked the color bar at the top.

i also got myself a new planner, since i lost the other one i had. i love the pattern and it will be small enough to keep in my purse and not clutter it up, which is always a problem for me. unfortunately as i was excitedly about to write in assignment due dates i realized that the planner was july 2011-2012...so i can't use it. i'm heading back out after i post this to get one for this year, as well as stocking up on my purple bic pens!

i love target's $1 area!! i rarely get anything from there but am always looking for something cute and fun to grab for cheap. i spotted an alice in wonderland coloring book so now i'll have mandatory chill time to color and listen to music during the quarter.

another grab was a set of large foam rollers. i have recently been on a mission to curl my hair and with many many many failures ( curled for an hour last night, can't you tell haha ) i've decided to return to what i used to do. i had a set of small foam rollers when i was little and would sometimes put my hair up in them overnight and they ALWAYS worked, so i figure that these should work now. will most likely be posting a blog about how that goes:)

ah i love grocery hauls, especially when all of it plus some snacks and miscellaneous other needs only cost me $25! a good little splurge to start off spring..now if only the weather would cooperate!!

5 songs i’m embarrassed to have on my itunes

5. the glee christmas album
anyone who has this or has heard it knows how awesome it is. but it's still glee. and yes i have been more than guilty of singing along merrily while driving in the car. but it's glee.


4. we both reached for the gun – chicago
off ALL the songs i could have from that musical i picked this. i'm not sure either, but hey i know all the words. and it has 10 plays on itunes


3. harry potter & the half-dub remix – terabyte frenzy
don't get me wrong, i'm a closet dubstep junky, but i'm including this because it's harry. potter. dubstep. i feel like it's the greatest thing ever, but i know that it's also the saddest example of nerdy fangirl ever.


2. Bye Bye Bye – N*SYNC
i had no idea this was on my itunes until i started going through it. 12 plays. 12!!! i didn't even like them back in the day, so i'm not sure why i have this. but don't worry, it was deleted promptly upon one last listen.

1. colors of the heart – UVERworld
the entire song is in japanese. it's the theme song from an anime i watched a bit ago, and for some reason i decided to get it. in my defense, it's a really good song with awesome music and the guy has a nice voice, although i don't know what he's saying.
