Weekly Roundup: week nine

Man, weeks go by way too fast when you have Monday off. Suddenly, it's Friday and I'm behind on everything–including this post. Currently procrastinating on a rough draft of the last paper of my undergrad life because it's for a class at 2pm. Spring quarter is not for slackers who spend all their time at the bar. Like me. I'm so close though...

Summer began Memorial Day weekend...

Weekly Roundup: Memorial Day weekend

On a completely different note than last week, I have been busy and stressed the last couple of days. Final papers are not good for my soul. But, the one (out of two) that I was stressing the most about is over and in just a few short hours, I will be on my way to my cabin in Mt. Shasta to fully enjoy the long weekend. Here's to rewarding our accomplishments.

Weekly Roundup: lazy days

Ah, week seven. The calm before the storm. It felt like a haze I was floating in, like nothing could go wrong. I slowly enjoyed my morning coffee, I made breakfasts, I went running in the afternoon, it was all so calm it was unsettling. I know next week will be the exact opposite of this. I've got a final paper due, a rough draft of another paper due, and a midterm. (I know, what about week eight screams 'mid-term'?) I will not feel like I do today. But it's nice to feel like this, even for a little bit.

Weekly Roundup: Mother's Day

Ah, mothers. We owe our lives to our moms...literally. (Ba dum tsh!) I know, personally, my mom has been a rock in my life, head cheerleader on Team Kate, and has always let me let my freak flag fly and be my complete, unabashed self while still being my guide to become a strong, independent woman. But I didn't always feel this way. After all, I was a 15 year old girl once; those notoriously hate their mothers, and I was no different. But finally, I had to tell myself: you've spent your whole life trying not to become your mother, but it's too late, you already are! And, in the words of Ron Burgundy, "in no way is that depressing." So here's to moms, may they always look out for us and may I never become one.

Weekly Roundup: midterms

Ah yes, it's midterm season. Luckily, this last quarter is a breeze and I am taking two classes, so I only have two. Latin kicked my ass, as it usually does. History probably went better, but who knows? I feel any will to get work done dissipating as the weeks progress. It's a miracle I'm still updating this blog. I think it's only because I get to blab about pop culture.

Weekly Roundup: final days of April

I can't believe April's almost over. Probably the busiest (and most fun!) month for me, I have had something going on every weekend. This one's no different; I'm on my way to a wedding in San Diego today. Weddings aren't really my bag, baby, but here's hoping there's an open bar and some good looking gentlemen who can dance. Because lord knows, I can't.

Happy (belated) Earth Day!

Weekly Roundup: Easter

It's Easter weekend! I shall be spending it at my cabin in Mt. Shasta, and I'm sure it will be a holiday treat for all, filled with food and wine, save for the allergies/sickness I've come down with this week. If we hardly ever went to the cabin, I'd probably be sitting this one out...but since it's been six months since I've seen the ol' girl, I'm powering through it!
