A Curly-Headed Coca-Cola Enthusiast (entry no.32)

I'm watching the Olympics with my dad in the living room as I write this entry. We're currently watching a women's basketball game, it's Canada vs France and Canada is currently being obliterated. I've never really been into the Olympics but I'll watch a couple of the events here and there. Personally, I have always preferred the winter Olympics, specifically figure skating. I grew up watching Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir dominate in Ice Dancing from 2010 to 2018 at the Olympics. I'll never forget their beautiful dance to Stay by Rihanna, the chemistry between those two skaters is unmatched. I was so convinced that I was going to skate exactly like them when I was little. 10 year old Abby would be thoroughly disappointed in me if she found out that we grew up to become someone who can neither skate nor dance. It's funny when you think about it, I love music but I can't dance and I love the winter but can't play any of the sports associated with it. 

One of the only sports I actually enjoy playing is tennis. I got really into it last year with a couple of friends of mine, I love how it's fast paced and tactical. There's nothing quite like striking the ball in the back corner of your opponent's side of the court. After we finished playing we'd always get slushies to end the occasion. My favorite slushy flavor will always be Coca-Cola, that's probably because Coca-Cola in general will always be my favorite. My sister makes fun of my obsession but I blame it on the latina in me. However,  despite my Coca-Cola obsession I am not a Pepsi hater. Pepsi is alright, if you hand one to me I'll drink it but it doesn't hit the spot the way a Coca-Cola does. My absolute favorite way to drink a Coca-Cola is in a glass with lots of ice and a metal straw. Now that hits the spot every single time.

Last year I got my wisdom teeth removed and my mouth was so swollen and sore I couldn't eat a thing. I spent days rotting on the couch having nothing but glasses and glasses of ice cold Coca-Cola. I'm genuinely surprised my teeth didn't rot or fall out from all of the sugar. Mouth and stomach pain is so much worse than head and back pain, I get so sad and grumpy when I can't properly enjoy food. Speaking of food, my mom barbequed yesterday and it was soooooooo good. We ate it outside in our backyard with some friends, it was a perfect sunny weekend. What made it even more perfect was the fact that it wasn't humid, me and my hair were definitely grateful for that. I have wavy hair so it is prone to frizzing up and it is a lot of work to maintain my curls.

The results are worth it tho! Every wash day I spend an hour finger coiling it while watching TV. It's therapeutic but also very time consuming, most of the things I do have these characteristics. This is especially true when it comes to art. I have phases when I'm drawing and crafting all the time and then I spend months without touching a pencil. The same thing seems to be happening with my entries lately. I went from posting one every two days to posting one every week. But despite this the views on my entries remain consistent. So much so that I now even have a page dedicated to all my posts so you can reread your favorite entries or catch up on ones that you may have missed. It's been such a fun ride and I'm excited to see what subjects await in future entries. As always, thanks for sticking around.

Are you coming or going? (entry no.50)

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Honestly I've been having too much fun while also stressing out and it's made me a fabulous combination of overstimulated and lazy. Hence why I have not posted an entry in over a month! But I don't want to let anymore time pass, I want to keep documenting my life, my experiences, and thoughts for a long time. My life updates aren't as interesting anymore now that I'm not in school. Well my life is actually super interesting right now but I just don't feel like writing about it, I'd rather live it in the moment.  I've got so many exciting plans for the summer, trips I want to take, people I want to see, hobbies I want to get back into. Like I do every summer, I want to go back to learning the ukulele, I also wanna take time to play some of my favorite video games again. I just find it hard to pursue these things cuz I legitimately cannot sit still, it's awful. I still try to pick up a book every now...

I fall for pretty home and away kits (entry no.25)

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

Co-workers & Classmates (entry no.47)

 Hello! It's been a minute, I know it always has been but I always feel the need to say that when I start an entry. I'm currently in my 10:00 am Web Technologies class, after today I only have to come two more times and I'll officially be done with this course. The same is true for my other Friday class on Microsoft Power Shell, I'm really nervous about that final exam. If I don's pass it I could very easily fail my class. I have NEVER failed a class, not in middle school, not in high school, not in college, and hopefully I never will. Long hours of studying await me to make the previous statement a reality. But my determination is just as strong as my fear and anxiety. If I want it enough I can have it, April is finally here, (not literally, but I'm trying to make a point). Honestly, it feels surreal how close to the finish line I am, college has taken up two years of my life. I was 19 when I started. On week six of my first semester I started working at my cur...
