There are two things that can happen when there is a long weekend: you are either more efficient than an assembly line from the 50s or you procrastinate like a... eh, I’ll finish that metaphor later.
I somehow fall smack-dab in the middle of both extremes. At first I thought, “Hey, I’ve got until forever to study for all my midterms! I think I’ll go to the movies.”
It really all snowballs until you get to Monday afternoon and everything you have to do finally hits. Then you start to really crack down and do your homework and study for your midterms.
That, my dears, is how I work and until it backfires on me (knock on wood) I’ll keep with it.
Now, those two days that I didn’t crack down on my mountain of work, I spent doing amazing things.
On Friday I went to White Marsh with some friends to get in some shopping and catch a movie.
Now, when to comes to accessories and make up, I really can’t control myself. When I saw an Ulta shinning in the distance, I couldn’t resist the call to shop. For those of you out there that don’t know what an Ulta is, it’s like Sephora. Except they have some cheaper brands like NYC while also carrying brands like Urban Decay.
As a card carrying member of Ulta, I can safely say that it’s amazing; it’s a shame that there aren’t any in Michigan or else I would be their best customer ever!
My main purchase this weekend was nail polish. I think I can fairly call myself a nail polish hoarder. But it’s hard to stop when they’ve got such adorable names like O.P.I.’s Moon over Mumbai and Butter London West End Wonderland.
Like lipstick and nail polish, I base most of my life choices on whether or not I like the name; it’s done me well so far.
Now to change topics, ever so slightly, I want to talk about Looper with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis. Like a typical time travel movie — trust me this isn’t a spoiler — it has its inconsistencies. But the sheer awesomeness of Looper really helps to make the flaws tolerable.
Not to tell you how to live your life or anything, but if you’ve got time to hit-up a movie theater then go and see Looper.
On Saturday I went out with my sister to Arundel Mills to do some more shopping. We had never been there before and wanted ot check it out, but, as usual, we got lost because of the crappyness of iOS 6 and the Baltimore marathon (yay runners!). What normally would have taken only a half of an hour took us one and a half.
No. Fun.
As horrible as it was to navigate there, it wasn’t so bad going back. And it was worth grabbing a few tops that fit the chill of the fall season.
