It's time for a change!

As I look at my blog page I notice something that has been bothering me for a long time; my page really looks ugly and gloomy! I like bright, warm and fun colors, not brown and plain ones. I'm thinking if I looked at my blog page as an outsider, I would find it very uninviting. So I decided that it's time to change the design of the blog!

But the problem is, The templates Blogger has are really unappealing, and they look far too basic and ammeter for the kind of feel I want my Blog to covey. I wish I knew how to make a custom template, but I'm not that tech savvy quite yet.

I think I choose my current design because I would easily fit my header on it, and It was the best looking of the templates Blogger had at the time. Oh well, the most I can do at the moment is to change the best of the blog. Hopefully I can discover a way to download a template onto my site sucessfully, beacuse even i'm getting bored of my color scheme.

Much Love,

Lindsay

Mustache

So recently I look at myself in the mirror and saw something extremely unpleasant, facial hair. I'm really freaking out the the moment! I don't want a bread, or a mustache! I decided to look it up on the Internet and figured out that my hairy situation might be caused by my weight gain (which I'm going to curb in the fall). But my mom is taking me on my annual Doctor's Check, so hopefully I can find a solution there.

But for the moment being I'm a little worried right now. Does this mean I'm going to grow a full beard I hope not. Then nobody will want to look at me. I already have enough self esteem issues as it is.

Nervous,

Driver's Permit (2nd Try!)

It's been two years since I failed my knowledge test, and after several months of studying, I'm finally ready to try again. Honestly, after that first test I kind of forgot about getting a drivers licence at all, but hearing about all my facebook friends getting their one by one, and having my little brother talk about studying the driver's manual made me realize that I obtaining a driver's permit is something that I really need to obtain in order to start practice driving. Plus I don't want to want to be like a women I saw at my college (who was around 21) talking about how she was waiting for her mother to pick her up. I really don't want that to be me in several years. I need to start driving in order to make the steps in becoming an adult (more independence).

I feel that the reason I failed before was due to my lack of studying. I had only read the second chapter of the book (which was all about signs) and really neglected the other parts of the book (because I thought the test would be a lot of common sense). But once I started the test, my mind just shut down because I didn't know any of the information on the test.

But now I am very Confident that I can pass my knowledge test to obtain my permit. So,wish me luck next week!

Discovering a Korean Drama



I usually don't watch foreign TV shows, but I was bored one late night and stumbled upon this Korean drama on Mindtv ( a local Philadelphia station), and I couldn't help but watch it. Now I'm hooked. The story is about a Woman (who is a little slow) named Anna Laker and her son who return to South Korea after years of living in America. Once they return, Anna is on a search to find her birth parents (she was adopted). It's a really charming story, and I'm surprised that I have taken such an interest in it (considering I'm not Asian nor Korean). But it just has a very homey feel that other soap operas don't have (Hispanic and American ones.) I can't wait until the next episode!

I have.... returned!

Wow.... it's been far too long since I've written a new entry. I can't believe I haven't written anything new in seven months. That wasn't at all my plan. I promised in January that I would write more, but I guess I became so occupied with other events in my life that blogging became simply impossible. I had a full load of class at my local Community College (as a Dual Enrollment Student) which at one point became too overwhelming for me to bear, and I started a academic club just for Dual Enrollment Students. In addition many of the blogs that I follow post multiple times a day, and while I could do that when I had my laptop, writing more than once a day is a little bit harder when there's only one computer in the house. So now I have a new goal, to post at least once a week. I think that is a little big easier to do than stressing out about what to write every couple of hours, so I'm going to try to stick to it and hopefully not disappear like I just did before.

Have a nice day and I hope to write my next entry soon,

Clap on, Clap off




I admit when I opened my presents this Christmas I was a little let down. I only received practical gifts such as clothes, a snuggie, socks, and a few ear buds. But a few weeks later my Mom bought me an item that made all of that disappointment go away.She got me my own Clapper, just like in the commercials! For those who aren't aware the Clapper is a device that you plug your electrical lamp outlet in. By doing this you now can turn off your light just by clapping. Of course you have to remember clap to a certain pattern in order to turn the lights "on" or "off". Anyway, over the past few days I have been obsessed with it! I always try to turn the light on and off several times before going to bed and waking up. I if I have to go to my room to get sometime I always clap to turn the lamp on instead of my other light. It just fills me up with excitement. I know it's weird but I just love the clapper. I know i'll eventually get tired of it, but for now it's so fun!

Welcome 2011!

I can't believe that it's a new year already! I remember when it was January 1st 2010. So many exciting things happened to me last year, and I hope that this year will be just as interesting.I hopefully I can actually keep my resolutions this year. Every year I make a list of goals i plan to reach by the end of the year, but I never actually manage to keep them. Hopefully every one's New Year Celebration's are going well, right now I'm watching the Mummers Parade on TV (for those who don't know the Mummers are basically a large group of people in costumes divided into five division who strut around Philadelphia every year). But I wish you all a Happy New Year!
