{Exposed}

I only post about fashion. This is a fashion blog after all. Why, though? Why exclusively fashion? The title doesn't even pertain just to fashion.

I figured on occasion I will include photos of other things going on in my life. Right now, I've been enjoying taking apart my phone. I have so much fun tinkering with all the parts and connections.

The only reason I initially did it was because I broke the LCD and needed to replace it. To do that, I had to take the whole thing apart. A week later, the new screen died on me for no reason. To no avail, I took apart the whole thing and reconnected it. Then I had to take it apart again to send back the screen. Right now its laying naked on my table, parts sprawled out, covered with a paper towel. Cringing yet?

{Calm}

I'm finally starting to get used to grad school. The first two weeks were horrid. It was a huge slap in the face. I've always been someone who needs to be in control of the situation 100% of the time. I hate being late and I hate not doing everything perfect. After three weeks of grad school, I have completely changed.

My third week was supposed to be my busiest one yet. I was fearful of how it was possible to even get worse than my second, but my schedule was definitely more packed. However, I had a completely sense of calm the whole week. No rushing anywhere, no stressing about getting things done perfectly, no freaking out about every detail. And yet, everything turned out exactly as it would if I had stressed.

I have no more care left. It's like I only come equipped with so much care to disperse amongst things and I've run out. I don't even care that I don't care. I'm not saying I've become lazy and unproductive because that's completely out of character. I'm just extremely more relaxed about being busy for 12 hours a day.

{Cupcake}

Wow. It's been 15 days since I've posted. I'm pretty sure that's a record. Grad school is unbelievably busy. I've always been the kind of person to fill my life up so that I'm always busy, but I have never been this busy in my entire life! I've been waking up before the sun comes up and not completing my day until long after the sun has gone down. I'm sleeping little and stressing too much.

Part of the stress is my obsession for everything to go perfectly, which it inevitable will not. I have so much pressure on me right now, partly self induced, but also from numerous sources that are out of my control. I'm so behind on many obligations I have. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I don't know how to stop screwing up.

One of the things I've fallen behind on obviously is my youtube and blog. When I'm finishing my day at 1AM and I have to be up at 6AM, the last thing I'm thinking of is recording a video or editing photos. I have a lot of shots accumulating, so I've decided to spend some time scheduling some posts for the next couple weeks.

These shots are from my birthday. That was August 29th. I bought myself a cupcake because I didn't have anyone to celebrate my birthday with.
