Hey,
It’s been quite a while, huh? I’m sorry. All the papers and other assignments in college that I had to write didn’t exactly motivate me to write anything extracurricular. However, now that I’ve completed my first year of college, I plan to get back to blogging.
I hope your past few months have been wonderful,
Hello again!
It’s been so long since I last blogged. I’m sorry. My excuse is that I’m in my first semester of college. Anyhoo, I’ve missed blogging and I really want to get back to it. I’ve decided though…that…*drum roll please*…I’m going to move to Tumblr. I used to have, in addition to this blog, a Tumblr dedicated to pretty things such as forests, charcoal sketches, balconies, folk songs, and starry skies. It was a lot of fun, but it took up way too much time. Way too much. I did learn, however, that while WordPress is wonderful and I will always love it, Tumblr is easier for getting posts out quickly. I also really want a new theme and I’ve gone through all the ones I’ve wanted in WordPress. You know, the theme part is probably the biggest reason for the move. But a fresh start sounds good. And a new theme. I’ve said that already. Anyhoo. I’ll let you guys know when the smiling in syria Tumblr is up and running.
Hope you all have had a lovely autumn,
I’ll be moving back out to the West Coast and starting college in a few weeks. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Anyhoo, I really want to keep blogging, but I’m not sure what my workload will be like. My plan is to post at least once a week, but I’ll have to wait and see how busy I end up being. Okie dokie, that’s it for now.
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
I don’t know if it’s warm and sunshine-y where you are, but for this post I’m assuming that it’s summer for you. If it is cold or dark or winter where you are, then this post will work as well. So. I love indie summer songs, but I find that listening to songs that are more “suited” for winter during the summer helps take my mind of the humidity, sweat, and high temperatures. Here’s a set of songs that I think are pretty successful at that (for me at least):
You can find another set of winter songs here.
This weekend I’m hoping to get to some thrift stores (mostly for things for my dorm), paint, read, come up with a great batch of blog posts, and become extremely disciplined about getting at least eight hours of sleep. What are you guys up to this weekend?
Hello everyone!
I’ve finished high school, which means I can get back to regular blogging.
A post should be here tomorrow,
Yup. This is another post about how I want to blog, but take the time that I have to blog and use it for other things. (Things including staying up too late and feeling bad about not blogging.) Tonight, however, I plan to get to bed early so that I can wake up extra-early tomorrow and get all my work done and have time to blog in addition to doing the other stuff on my list so that I don’t look at my blog and feel like this:

At the top of my “To do while ill” list is “blog”. I tried to write a post that was decently long, but I didn’t have the energy to do so (or enough coherent thought). So, hopefully tomorrow,
By the time I’ve finished my schoolwork for the day (usually around 8 pm), I’m faced with two main options:
1. Blog, and/or read, and/or do something creative or constructive, and/or listen to podcasts.
2. Get a blanket, a mug of velvety cocoa, and watch something on Netflix.
Guess which option I’ve been choosing. I am trying to get better though and part of “getting better” means more blog posts. So starting tonight, smiling in syria posts will be (inshAllah) more consistent.
There are so many things wrong with this. So, so many:
