eat things no. 2

made a killer grilled cheese the other day. used whole wheat bread (gotta keep it somewhat healthy, right? heh), sharp cheddar, salami, and a little bit of mozzarella. i'm salivating just thinking about it again.

i guess i'll just keep thinking about it as i finish my final drawings for my project. i just need to get over this hump. to more grilled cheeses!

smile

taking baby steps toward loving myself. 

so here's a message to me.

you don't smile enough in pictures. embrace your smile, maggie. no matter how imperfect it is, i know you're still trying to figure out who you are and what you want to be, but being so down on yourself all the time isn't good for you. i know you're trying your best to fix your mistakes, but mistakes are going to be made no matter how hard you try. stop living in the past and accept them. smile it off. laugh it off. you're the happiest and most beautiful when you smile. so please, smile more. 

stressful

it's been a really stressful week so far. 

i'm running in circles around my project and i'm still not sure where it's going. and it's due in a week. i know i should be getting more independent since i'm not a freshman anymore, but i still need some guidance, y'know. i'm still a newbie! i basically wasted my entire last week because my instructor didn't even talk to me/discuss with me about the direction of my project. this is some precious time wasted. and i'm really annoyed because this has left me so behind and scrambling to get it together. i mean, i admit, i was being a little lazy last week, but i really don't know what i would have done to my drawings otherwise.

existential architecture crisis??? representation of my current jumbled mind

i got to talk to her today for like 5 minutes at the end of class because she felt she didn't need to talk to me, having spent the whole four hour class talking to only a handful of students she thought needed help. but then i show her what i have and she says "she has to think about it"?! why couldn't you think about it with me during class? it's clear that i need help, after basically starting all over on monday!!! i'm stuck at where i should've been a week ago! if she'd given me a little more attention/advice last week, i would be far past this by now...agh, i'm so frustrated.

i only have a week to pull this altogether...AND next week is midterms week. man i really hope i pull through. can't wait to get it all over with.

just needed to vent out my negativity.

think positive, maggie, think positive. happy thoughts...
