It’s already the last week of break?!

This winter break went by WAY fast, and even though I’ve already enjoyed 4 weeks of it, it felt like only a week . This year’s winter break was definitely one of my better ones. It’s as cold as %&*#$, but you know your break was awesome if you can still have fun despite that Of course, it would be perfect if I didn’t have to take some joke of an online class, but more on that later.

The first weekend of winter break, I went to Philly with my boyfriend and participate in some cultural (for once!) activities. Well, activity. We attended a Christmas concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra, and they seriously should not blast the heater in there. Yeah, I know it’s cold outside, but warmth + comfy seats + classical music = ZZZZZ! We didn’t fall asleep, but it was close. So much for culture and sophistication, .

The rest of the night we visited my friend Rachel and she took us bar hopping in Old Town. It was pretty nice because there’s no cover, and drinks were mad cheap at this one place, but omg, creepers much? Not just in numbers, but in creepiness as well. But creepies aside, it was mad fun.

So much fun the end of the night was pretty much a blur. No I didn't black out. I just have terrible memory when I drink

The next highlight of my break was New Year’s Eve¹. We decided to do something posh and classy this year, so instead of the usual house party, we attended one in the Grand Hyatt in DC. Poshness comes at a cost though: $130 It’s no biggie for my friends, because they all have full-time jobs, but my wallet definitely mourned over that $130.

No regrets though, because we had a LOT of fun. There was free food, free booze, and a live band – The Dan Band. They’re the band that was in School of Rock and The Hangover². But again, MAD creepers. One guy literally pulled some girl and started making out with her when the ball dropped

The girls <3 I covered their faces just to be on the safe side³

So about that online class…it’s seriously a f***ing joke. I’m not sure if that’s how all online classes are, but all this one is is busy work. I haven’t learned poop about economics, but I did learn:

that my professor is a lazy bum who copies his quiz questions from someone else
that bs-ing your homework and your paper still gets you 100%.
that I totally could’ve slacked more. Grades don’t transfer, only the credits.

Well, at least that’s over and done with. Now I can just focus on my internship, my 2 design projects, and a personal project. Speaking of design, I finally revamped my portfolio, and I finally got drafted into Dribbble! Error processing request

Christmas was nice too, but I’m too lazy to write about it. ↩
And yes, they totally sang “Lollipop” that night, LOL ↩
Rachel doesn't care if people see her face or not, ” ↩

*jealous* Looks like you had tons of fun! I had to work every single day of break and this is my last week too.

Sucks you encountered so many creepers though, but they're always camping out where there are girls and booze

Awww, well, at least you got to make mad $$$? And that's so true, it's the 2 things creepers live for, hahaha

Yeah… my first class starts tomorrow and yet again I'm thinking 'why did I think I needed another degree?!' Anyways. Good luck with the new semester and love the new layout

I'm going to feel like this when I start grad school, but apparently school is still better than working, says all my working friends,

http://www.miss-becky.net Becky

Sounds like you had an awesome time! And I love the little faces you put on the photo to cover identities XP. Ah, yeah, the one online class that I had was really (REALLY) easy like that too. I think it may be the teachers' laziness…

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Probably, I guess they can't be bothered to spend their winter break working either, haha

http://bookish.nu Jenny

Looks like you had a great break! I LOVE Old Town – I live about 10 minutes from there and it's so much fun.

Good luck on your projects and with your classes!

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Yeah! I was expecting a sleepy old place (I think I assumed that from the word "old"), but it was just the opposite

Looks like you had a lot of fun on your break! The New Years Eve party sounds awesome. I was lazy for New Years. Wish I had gone to something like that!

That sucks about the online class, but at least it's nice that it wasn't hard ;;

Your portfolio is too cute! I love your animal drawings! I can't load the preview of the pirate kitty drawing for some reason though.

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Thanks! The link was messed up, but I've fixed it now. Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun on your break. I have a tendency to want to fall asleep when I'm comfy and warm too.

Your portfolio is like this cuteness overload. I died laughing at the dinosaur chasing a flying hamburger. I didn't know raptors liked flying hamburgers.

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Haha, thanks! I drew it for my boyfriend actually, and of course, the dinosaur must like burgers now, too!

Your break sounds super fun! Even though there were creepies … they're everywhere you'll never be able to get away LOL.

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Hhaha, true, just like how morons are everywhere and I can't seem to escape them either

I always thought doing online courses would be hard, though it's because I get distracted easily so it's better for me to sit in class .

Good luck with your internship and projects!

http://riyuu.org Jenny

I get distracted even when I'm in class, haha. But online classes are nice because the timing is super flexible, no waking up early for class! haha

$130 would make me curl up in fear, ALTHOUGH there was both free food AND booze… well, alright, I'd be sold too.

I laughed at the censored faces over your friends. They're like cute Mr. Potato Heads.

http://riyuu.org Jenny

LOL, the food was alright, but the free booze was NICE (I feel like such an alcoholic when I say that, haha).
I never thought of it that way, but yes, they do look like Mr(Mrs?) Potato Heads!

I love you put little smiley faces on your friends faces. Those are adorable.

Aww your portfolio is super cute. How do you make those cute little creatures?

http://riyuu.org Jenny

Haha, I don't think my faces do my friends justice though, they look better than that
I drew the characters on my portfolio actually, using my Bamboo tablet and Illustrator.

http://coloursplash.org Isi

I've been meaning to get a Bamboo tablet. It's expensive so I have to wait till I have enough money for it.

I also heard the book was better than the movie as usual. Fairytales are all amazing because no matter what there's a happy ending.

I have them only because their cute. I can't ever see myself buying a plain scarf.

Where are you from? Ahaha I go to school in Philly. Anyway, yeah, Old City is creeper central… and douche bags, skanky girls, yep they're all there!

But I'm glad you had fun. I've never really experienced night life in the city because my last train is around 11:30 to get home .

Sounds like break was fun! I find that with online classes, they are pretty much hit or miss. It all depends on the professor.
