What I'm Listening To: You Reign-Mercy Me
Lately I've been getting random down time to sit in Ingraham. Why haven't I been blogging you ask? The answer: exam season has hit and is in full swing. It's actually doesn't officially start until next week, but with all of the projects and exams that they give you up until the week of the test, I've been extending the period. I have a five page paper due in Spanish tomorrow that I have the introduction and all of my quotes done (which is why I really shouldn't be blogging), but needed to get something off of my chest.
I have decided to up my shoe game. Yes, it needs upping since I recently upgraded my closet and bought some fabulous essentials, including this funky denim dress with multi-colored ruffles on the bottom of it that I'm going to wear to a banquet on Friday. I started looking about two weeks ago, and decided that I was going to buy comfortable shoes. I am tired of buying shoes and they feel fine in the store, but then try walking or standing in them for about four hours and then you'll really see what your definition of comfort is. The problem is, I want style AND comfort. but apparently that is too much to ask. The top brands that promise exclusive comfort and style are Stuart Weitzman or Cole Haan, but they run upwards of $200. Some women also swear that their Jimmy Choos or other designer shoes are comfortable, but being a college student, I can't really up and buy a pair of Jimmy Choos every couple of months, especially if I'm trying to megaboost my shoe game. So I hunted around, and came across Aldo, DSW, and Bakers. I found at least ten pairs of shoes that I like that are $60 or less AND they are stylish and promise comfort as well. So from going to finding no shoes, now I just have to make sure that I have enough money to buy all of them ;)
I ran across two quotes this week that every single woman should have/remember to keep her grounded:
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man should have to search God just to find her." and also "If you want to find your spouse just run as hard and as fast as you can after God, and then look over and see who’s running next to you."
Both of these were suggested to me by two good friends of mine in indirect ways, and I realized that many women need to be more self-reliant, spiritually and emotionally so that they can better impact the people in their lives and the global community. Also, another thing that I have been doing is watching Heroes in my free time and to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the show yet. I should probably get back to writing this paper, as I have a Council meeting, hopefully the last one I'll be expected to go to forever. Until my next probably belated post.
