P.S's

There's a few blog posts I've written lately that need to have a few updates. Here's the P.S's

For my epic fail in reading directions, Embarrassed everything turned out alright. I wrote a letter to my teacher explaining what happened, and she wrote back telling me that it wasn't a big deal and I didn't embarrass or bother her, and she could see what I was trying to do. She also wrote me another sweet letter saying she knows she'll see my name in print sometime soon and that I should keep in touch with her. She isn't the kind of person to say things just to say them, so this really meant a lot to me!

I have some updates on my First Kiss. My friend Kate messaged me and reminded me of what his name was, because after it happened I also called her! She then informed me that this man is now in jail for stabbing two people. I know I have no idea about the whole story and such, but I feel so blessed that I was alright even though I was being stupid back then.

It's officially kind of sorta been summer since last Thursday for me. My Focus has been off the last few days though, but I'm pretty sure this is because the wedding is in three weeks. My anxiety has been out of whack since finishing The Fault in Our Stars last Monday actually. So I'm trying to get on track again for real starting today. I also have my summer work schedule and will be working EVERY morning so no sleeping past 8 for me.

We've moved in most of the furniture into the apartment now. It feels so homey now and I'm getting more excited! More pictures to follow.

Hours after I posted about being Frazzled I found myself a frazzled mess and it's continued. And, sadly, my own advice hasn't worked. So I am sorry for misleading anyone. Usually, that is what I do but I seem to have jinxed myself. 

I finally got my dress back after the Dress Fitting. It fits perfectly and I'm hoping to do a photoshoot in it before the wedding! Then, I'll post those pictures about an hour after my wedding so that those of you who aren't near can see my dress! 

Also! I'm still open for guest bloggers for the week I'm gone :) Those of you who have gotten back to me, I'm so excited!

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
