How did you guys come upon my blog/how did you guys get started reading? Do you guys have any questions or comments for me?
I'm just really intrigued, haha. Over the last couple of days I've had a lot more page views so I'm wondering about where everyone is coming from!
My first day of school was good! I absolutely love my Family and Personal Development teacher already and we went over Derivatives today in my Survey of Calc class.
I looooove derivatives, if I could marry math concepts I would marry derivatives. It's an easy math concept to me and something I can do in a flash. Throw a polynomial at me and I can derive it in 5 seconds or less.
I was able to add my Conceptual Physics which means I just have to worry about the Counseling class and the Salsa class!
For those of you in school/starting the work week, how has it been thus far?
School today!
So I'm starting my 3rd year of university today (unfortunately I'm petitioning for 2 classes so let's hope that all goes well)
Due to this, my posting will probably be a little lagged for the next couple of months but I'll definitely try to keep up. I am not going to be doing anything real extracurricular although salsa club looks mighty exciting looking. Hopefully I can balance the 16 units I want plus a job!
Thus far, I'm signed up for
Survey of Calculus B- I'm actually taking this voluntarily, I loved my Survey of Calculus A teacher and I got an A by the skin of my teeth but I'm excited
Family and Personal Development- This is a class that discusses such things like current events and race relations and its impact on families and such. I think this will be my hardest class
Community Psychology- My only 8am class :( 8am normally doesn't exist for me but I'm sucking it up because I need this class. This class is about the discussion of contemporary social problems
Hopefully I can add
Conceptual Physics-dear lord, I love math but not if it applies to physics. This is nonmath physics and I couldn't be any happier!
Career Counseling- This class is basically going to help me pick a career/major. It is my 3rd year and I still have no idea about what I'm doing
Salsa- I'm honestly a dancer at heart but I hate taking the theory behind dance. Thus I'm going to try this class. I'm running out of different kinds of dance to take, I've already done ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, and en pointe in my lifetime. I hate modern (too arm swinging and emotional for me) and I'm inspired by Dancing with the Stars for Salsa.
Here's hoping everyone who is in school/working has a good semester!

My new Melmer!
Sunday, August 29, 2010
If you weren't aware, a melmer is a storage device that is named after the Ikea Helmer, which is excellent nail polish storage. As it is, it's called a Melmer because it's the Michael's version of it. I was scouring on MakeupAlley's nail board and found out that it was on sale for 40% off AND there was a 4 hour coupon that gave an additional 25% off of the price post-40% off.
Retail price-34.99, I got it for 15.08+tax. Cha ching ching I saved money.
I'm a little miffed about it because the instructions said estimated assembly time:15 minutes.
Yeah right, it took me like 3 hours. I'm not exactly an expert craftsman but come on, 15 minutes? I did have some difficulty with assembling the unit because the screws would be a bit stubborn and not want to go into the little holes. My right hand hurts because of all the little drawer screws which required a smaller screwdriver which was a pain to my palm
Here it is in all its glory, it looks deceivingly easy to put together.
I had originally put it on the storage unit thing without anything underneath, but I realized that it was pretty heavy with my stuff inside and it scratched up the paint on the Ikea unit. I decided to then line the bottom of it and all of the drawers with shelf liner! I got this pattern from Target and it's the nonadhesive one.
If you wanted to get a better idea of how much it fits, here's a picture of my nail polish collection sans Konad supplies

Are you as weird about paying for shipping as I am?
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Even if I've wanted something for ages, I'll refuse paying for it if shipping is expensive or if it's more than the item I wanted to get originally.
Anything ELF falls under the weirdness about shipping. Their Studio line of products are usually around 3-6 dollars but the shipping itself is around 7. I'm picky about the things I want from them (specifically the HD powder) so I've been refusing to buy anything until that comes in stock. It's ridiculous for me to buy a 3 dollar item and then pay 7 in shipping.
But oh my gosh, there's an amazing amount of joy I have whenever I find an item that's typically online-only in stores.
Case in point, I was perusing this beauty supply shop and found this amazing beast of a nail polish. Nubar Violet Sparkle
(As watermarked, this is Scrangie's picture because I can't manage to capture the hue on my camera! All credit goes to her and I only wish I could take a great picture like she does)
Oh my gahhh, I've been lusting after this beauty for months, ever since it came out but I've been stingy as all hell about paying for it on the Nubar site. 7.49 and shipping is 11.11?@?
No way, no freaking way. I refuse, I'll pay 18 dollars for Urban Decay's 24/7 liner but not for a nail polish.
I pick and choose my battles of course.
Am I nuts for doing this?
