The Giant Fan & Unread Books

(Drag the pictures to your tab bar to see them better. I had to take horizontal shots!)

I have decided I have a very eclectic sense of style when it comes to decorating... and family members feed into it oh so much!

While I was away at a children's musical rehearsal, my dad found this not-so-little beauty at Goodwill and decided that my bedroom needed it. It was certainly a pleasant surprise, and I put it up on my wall above my bed as soon as I got a free chance to do so. A painting of poppies was there before, and now I plan on hanging that in another place on my wall. It's so exciting for me to move things around in my room. I know it sounds silly, but it makes me quite happy.

School has been very stressful on me, even with organizing and scheduling. There is just SO MUCH. I bounce in and out of feeling motivated and productive to feeling completely overwhelmed and smothered, but I still plug on through all the work. I can't wait for summer -- it will be a very nice break! I'm not complaining wholeheartedly since I do adore the classes and am lucky to have the chance to study them... but good gracious! All this so fast? 

On a side note, I have been meaning to share my current reading list with you all!

These are but a few of the books I have accumulated over the past three years, all of which are (wait for it.....) UNREAD.

I'm slowly working on changing that, though
