I Don't Like it unless it's Brand New.

I mentioned to Jess yesterday night that I wanted to get a blog... well I had momentarily forgotten that in fact I DO already have one.  One that I have been ignoring terribly....sorry poor lil' bloggy :(

I feel like I have failed in many respects in the past few weeks.. I have yet to come up with a feasible topic for my PR project, have yet to contact sponsors for the FIA fashion show in April, and have yet to really decide on my major/minors. It's hard for me to even articulate what I want to do with my life, which makes it even more difficult to think about what major makes the most sense.

Sure, I do have certain ideas about what I want spurts of my life to look like.  I definitely want to go to London.  It would be amazing to live there for a year after college, just working some 9-5 job in fashion or communications.  The rest of my life I envision with a pen, documenting everything.  Journalism was appropriate for that, except I don't want to write about what my editors tell me the people should know. I want to write about what I think they should know.  Too bad people don't just become novelists anymore (at least people who arent already wealthy or who dont mind living in a box) and frankly I don't think I fall into either category.  So I think my best bet is doing something else thats interesting, but writing on the side.  And then if I hate that, once I get finances in order I can just focus wholeheartedly on writing.

Maybe I should work for the UN because that knocks out two of my life goals--one, making a difference in the world, and two--travel.  I have always been interested in human rights, in particular.  Perhaps a double major in IR or PoliSci is in order... 

Before I went into self-examining my life, I had intended to write about the new Lily Allen CD, It's Not Me, It's You.  I downloaded it yesterday (although I do plan on purchasing it Tuesday, so I don't feel guilty at all).  The thing I like about Lily as an artist in particular is her witty lyrics.  Her stuffy/sweet british-accented voice disguises a lot of the irony in her work, and it gives her songs sweet overtones.   She also has a really cute sense of style which probably makes me like her a bit more as well.  As for top tracks, I think my favorites are "I Could Say," "Fuck You," and "Not Fair."  But I like a lot of them, so I feel like those three aren't necessarily accurate.

I had planned on devoting my entire afternoon to homework... and I have yet to crack open a book.. So I think the time is now.
