Starting tomorrow through the 28th, I'm going to need every bit of energy and time I can scrape up! We have the GFAF Expo tomorrow I'll be hanging with THIS girl), a mandatory event on Sunday for school, then midterms begin...I have my first one next Tuesday, but the big one...the chem one...is the 24th (one extra weekend to "study"!) Then some other big due dates and another event I have to attend. To me, it feels crazy and all over the place. I miss my summer days of stress-free cooking and relaxing time!
In other news, I got my new iPhone 7 in the mail earlier than stated. I feel like an old grandma trying to use it! I've never had an iPhone...ever, I barely had an iPod, so Apple products are foreign and I've already picked out all the flaws I have with it! It will take time...but I do miss my Android and its ease of use! But the resolution on this iPhone...crazy! It's like I'm inside the phone :O It actually hurts my eyes (I changed the brightness to be super low now!)
Now on to the links and pins! Enjoy your weekly Friday Finisher!
