73. Take a calligraphy class. (in progress)

Yesterday my good friend Kathleen and I started our online calligraphy class from Skillshare. 

Since she is in Michigan and I am in Virginia, we used Google Hangouts screenshare (awesome, BTW).

My mom and I bought her the class and supplies for her birthday, and as a treat I bought the class and supplies for myself so we could do it 'together'.

The lessons are easily laid out and the instructor goes nice and slow for beginners (plus she's gorgeous and she gets so excited about calligraphy). 

So far we've been loving Skillshare and I can't wait till we have time for our next class!

Check the class out and make sure you order the paper she suggests, my notebook totally bled through!

I'm Baaaaack!

Wow. 

It has been a whirlwind couple months. 

I staffed my second American Model United Nations Conference as the president of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.

I ran the Turkey Trot 5K in Detroit on Thanksgiving day.

I finished the semester strong and the day after my last final I got on a plane with 4 giant bags and moved to Washington DC!

I celebrated Christmas by traveling pretty much all over Michigan.

Then I went to Chicago for the Alliance Management Institute (during the polar vortex, UGH!) and became a Certified Nonprofit Professional (and had some awesome deep dish pizza). 

  

Now I'm finally back in my apartment and trying to get into a routine.

I never really realized how much I depend on routine, even at my old job where I could be at any of our offices (or a combination of all three!) in one day, I still knew I was working tomorrow from this time to this time. I realized I crave routine, and now that I am settling into the new place I am trying to create that routine!

My new routine includes blogging more and I will be sticking to it!
