I need to take lamaze classes ...

... I'm forgetting how to breathe properly. Time seems to go by so fast now. It's already hump day, the middle of the week, and I've had little time for reflection on a simple smile or to wish about something on Wednesday. Instead, all I can think about is, "How did it get to Wednesday already?" I'm a big fan of leisure time, and got so much of it during the summer, and it's been really hard to get adjusted to the pace of being at school and riding buses every single day.

Hmm, I suppose my simple smile of the week comes from a fun day on Sunday, catching up with a friend through shopping at H&M (got a couple of really cute fall clothing items!) and then having a pumpkin-fest at Starbucks (wow, you know you're tired when you write Starburst instead), getting a pumpkin spice frappuccino and a cream-cheese pumpkin muffin (seriously delicious).

And my Wednesday wish is for more times like Tuesday night, where me and The Boy managed to temporarily avoid the slaughter of school that has raged upon us [err, yeah] and managed to spend some time, just him and I being close with each other. Those moments of just holding each other remind me to breathe, before the pace of the world catches up with me again.

Basically, I'm really sorry for the lack of updates, both blog-wise and graphics-wise, though I am working hard on some designs! Once I get everything organized and listen to some "Slow Me Down" by Emmy Rossum and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day, I'm sure I'll be back on track!

And before I head off, the lovely Kimberly from My Wooden Heart gave away an award to each of her readers, and I couldn't resist doing it! So thank you Kimberly!

The Rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might not know.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.


So 7 things you might not know about me:
1) I'm in my final year of university, doing a combined Honours major in English and Multimedia.
2) I have a ridiculously bad nail-biting problem. The only way I can resist is by painting my nails. It's more of a nervous habit, wish I knew how to get rid of it (and yup, I've tried those yucky tasting clear liquid-polish you can put on your nails, didn't work).
3) Weddings? I've only attended one in my life. Don't know what it's like to be a flower girl/bridesmaid or anything, and most of what I know about weddings I know from movies.
4) My greatest desire is to travel/learn languages. So far I know two fluently (English & Polish), am learning a third (Hungarian) and want to pick up a fourth (Japanese).
5) My biggest fear is probably heights. Second to that is elevators.
6) I still read Seventeen magazine, even though I'm twenty-one.
7) I have met The All-American Rejects about six times, and got free concert tickets from the lead singer when he asked if I was going to the show that night and I told him it was sold out. Such a lucky day!

I tag anyone who'd like to do this, in case there's something about you you've wanted to share with your readers, but didn't know how quite to fit it into a blog post :)

Hope your week's been a bit more of a breather than mine!
