autumn, chopin, and edward gorey

Again, I know I haven't posted in several months. BUT I'VE STOPPED CARING.

It's FINALLY that time of year when ALL i want to do is wear sweaters and coats and berets, watch BBC sherlock and listen to classical music. Or become an edward gorey drawing; whichever.

So I'll be starting my Sophomore year of college next week and for once I think I'll actually enjoy the classes I'll be taking: Drawing 101, Intro to Visual Culture, Feminist Reconstructions, and Chinese 2. I'm very strongly considering the art history major (don't tell my dad) but I would also like to be employed. I'm very interested in museum studies/libraries/publishing/editing/writing/design so hopefully I will be able to go into that sort of area.

But anyways, here are some pix of myself for U to enjoy of course

Also, I got a cat tattoo:

And here's what I've been listening to recently:

Tiger Phone Card // Dengue Fever

Nocturne 15 op. 55 no. 1 in F minor // Frederic Chopin

Mi Negrita // Devendra Banhart

And of course, I've been watching TWIN PEAKS:

That's all I'll write now. I'll write again soon, hopefully.

JANUARY BLUES

Hello again, friends, if you're there!
Enjoy this collection of selfies:

(yes, 4 selfies were necessary)

Alas, it has been too long. I've finished my first semester of college unscathed (mostly) and have been on winter break for the last month. I'm moving back into the dorms tomorrow and I can hardly believe it. College is weird, guys. It's like, totally and completely both the best and worst thing that I've ever experienced simultaneously. 

Here are some pros and cons of college:

Pros: 

1. You can go to tea garden whenever you want!

2. You get to have a second bedroom!!

3. You can get away from all that high school dreadfulness.

Cons:

1. You actually have to study a lot. I learned this the hard way, after literally not studying at all senior year of high school.

2. You don't get to blast Bob Dylan alone in your room because you have to have a horrible roommate??! (JK I love my roommate but I feel like blasting Bob Dylan 24/7 would annoy her probably)

3. GROSS CAFETERIA FOOD ALL THE TIME

Last semester I took Asian Studies, Chinese, Media & Cultural Studies, and Creative Writing (ugh). This semester I am taking Calculus, Chinese, Geology and Art History (omg).  I'm very very very excited but totally freaking out. I'm also planning on taking violin lessons and doing orchestra again, AND, BIG NEWS: I totally got a part time job at a shoe store. Well, it's not official yet, but I got an interview this morning and it went VERY WELL. Part time jobs are nice in college because money.

It is winter right now and I despise it. Why do I live in possibly the 2nd coldest state after Alaska??? Every year I feel like I waste 5 months of the year complaining about the cold weather and wishing it were warm. Here is a playlist I made that has been helping me transport myself to a different time and place:

Endless June, 1965 from cocoisawizard on 8tracks Radio.

Anyways, this has been an update of my life. 2015 IS THE YEAR I GET MY BLOG BACK INTO SHAPE AND REGULARLY UPDATED,  I PROMISE. I WILL NOT LET THIS BLOG DIE!!!

Love, Coco
