It's (been) Official: Je vais aller en France!!

Salut tout le monde!! Hi everyone :) As some of you are aware, I am going to be studying abroad this summer for 4 1/2 weeks in Lyon and Paris, France. I've been studying French for the past 6 years, though a total 4 1/2 years have been spent in an actual classroom setting (3 in high school 1yr 1/2 @ASU). Though I've started to fundraise in a couple ways (selling my "photography," selling toy laser guns, rhinestoned hair clips & ballet socks), the whole concept of me, myself & I going to France has yet to sink in. These fundraising efforts are only the beginning I have many more ideas in my head that I have to get started on ASAP!! I will be leaving in about 6 or 7 weeks I think... (I'm telling you, it hasn't sunk in yet, otherwise I'd tell you to the hour!) Which means I have got to get moving. Like I said, more things to come so keep a look out for goodies that will be available for sale ;) If you want to view my French project from high school you can take a look at what Mlle Strafaci had us do :) : http://jannetteslonelyplanet.blogspot.com/ For now, I have created a PayPal account (very confusing to figure out how to use it at first but I did it! Yay!) I hope that makes it easier for people. If you purchase something from me, or just want to contribute you are welcome to make a payment through this widget, however I can only accept payments of $5.00 or more here. Again, thanks everyone who has been such a support!! I would like to especially thank Mlle Christina Strafaci and M.William Drogo (repose en paix) for influencing my love of French culture early on. Any other questions please head to my facebook event page Also, keep on the look out for further fundraising events on my facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/419738004721402/?notif_t=plan_user_joined For any other questions, please email message me via facebook, email me or comment below. Thanks everyone!! A tout a l'heure et merci beaucoup!! Jannette<3

101 things to do in 1001 days

So yesterday I randomly came to a site called Day Zero Project. I didn't even find it through stumbleupon or any aid of the sort. I literally just googled, new things to do, and I came upone it.

The point is, it helps you compile a sort of bucket list/ list of things you want to do/accomplish, and I found it intriguing.

I've been feeling a bit oppressed by the monotony in my life and lately, I've been looking toward the internet for some help to get me out of it. I don't need to do anything extreme or EXTRAordinary, just something different, out of the usual for me.

There's only so much time we have to live our lives on this Earth. Personally, I think we only get one shot at life as we know it. Also, the time we do have on Earth is limited. It's finite. It will end eventually, so I don't want to disappoint myself in the afterlife for not doing or finishing or accomplishing the things I'd only hoped for in the abyss of my mind's wanderings. Life is too short to worry about what everyone else thinks, but also to short to ruin it for yourself so early in life. I think we should all strive to live our life to the fullest and ACTUALLY learn from our mistakes, listen to our conscience and be the best of ourselves that we can be.


Anywho, here's the link to my list. I hope this inspires you to take a fresh perspective of the way you are living you're life at the present moment. We have life right now!! Let's not let the moments pass before we can't do any of the things we've only hoped for.

If you think you can help me accomplish any of the goals on my list, please let me know! Or if you have any suggestions throw 'em at me :)


Thanks for listening,

I've never been so disappointed as now. I've never felt so many reasons to be sorry for the things that I have done and for those things that I have failed to do. I've pushed away my own values, morals, beliefs out of convenience. Scared of resent from those close to me and some that aren't even that THAT close to me. I have failed as a sister, as a daughter, as a child of God.

Sure I've done some good things, but I have failed in the most important things.

My Monday.

Monday:

My evening class was cancelled (ENG 312). Good news, I didn't want to stay on campus so late anyway. Got to go home early. Yay! Bad news, that's one of my favorite classes & I only have it once a week BUT its okay, I'm willing to go without it for a few extra hours of rest.

With the extra hours, I had time to stop by Dave's Doghouse...

Hot dog guy got the chick's number after throwing a bee out of her way! I though that only happened in movies! I gotta admit though... it was kind of cute... borderline creepy.

My mom picked me up from school, went to the chiropracter. The chiropracter, while he was treating my mom, started talking to me about books he likes. He recommended this author... Terry Pratchet or something... something about a planet is a turtle with 7 different animals on top of it and then it becomes flat and then spherical... strange? A bit. Anywho, it sounded interesting.
Got my bones cracked and headed home...

but then my mom wanted to stop by target to get some work pants. So excitedly I tagged along for my own personal reasons.

And, I got myself a Jason Wu blouse!! :)

Oh, Facebook.

I've very tempted to leave facebook for good... I think.
I don't really think there are that many people who are really interested in what I have to say, so what't the point of virtually surrounding myself with them?
I mean its great to stay connected, you never know how one person can affect your life through this medium but I think I need to find an alternative. Facebook is just too unhealthily addictive. I think I'd be better off with blogging rather than relying on facebook's tyrannical rule.

I'll give it a try... soon enough anyway.

I'm still alive!

It has been a while since I've posted anything, and even longer since I've posted something worthwhile. Ne t'inquiete pas mon cherie, that is going to change. I've given myself a bit of an ultimatum for abandoning my blogs and believe me I think I'm ready to really start posting stuff.
You will have to bear with me while I adjust to actually blogging about something interesting and not just half-assing everything by reblogging things, even though I will continue with random ramblings. So ta-ta for now!
