Gunpowder and Lead: That's What Little Girls Are Made Of

I do not know where I read that, but I really liked it and so I wrote it on a Marc Jacobs ad featuring Dakota Fanning that I have hanging up on my wall here at college. And now it is the title for my blog. I know that in the URL "travels" is spelled wrong, because when I initially typed it in I spelled it wrong, corrected it, and then changed it back. Because what is life without a few mistakes?

Because of a few mistakes, I have been very depressed lately. And then out of the blue a friend of mine, Keith, whom I rode the bus to school with almost everyday for just about forever, started messaging me on Facebook Chat. And then I started texting an old boyfriend, Mr. Corbin, who used to call me "Bacon", because we decided to meet up when I go home next weekend. Keith promised me that when he comes to film school in New York that we will be best of friends, haha, and Corbin and I decided that we are going to meet at the Paper Moon Diner in Baltimore.

And then I had an Epiphany. When I have something to look forward to, something that has nothing to do with my school, I dwell on my excitement for the upcoming event rather than the things that make me depressed. When I had the opera to look forward to, I was less depressed. (Which turned out to be the single best Valentine's Day ever, thanks to my wonderful cousin-who-is-more-like-a-sister Jackie.) And now I have the Paper Moon Diner to be excited about. All I have to do is make a plan every two weeks to make myself happy. Problem solved.

About college. I am going to try to get into the Jewelry Design program. 

This summer I am working at Broadcreek Scout Reservation, as the Trading Post Manager.

And right now, I am getting ready to go to bed because I have to get up early to finish a paper that is due tomorrow.
