UNIVERSITY WEEK IN MY LIFE _ essay writing + business projects

It's cool. We've done a photo booth. We've actually got a good photo. We never take good photos and I think we got a good photo. That will be like the photo that will be used forever. Forever. So Toronto. Mads and I wrapped up. Thank you Maddy for helping me out. It was so fun. We're off to Portland Variety for a little brunch situation. A little brunchy munchies. It doesn't work with one hand. At Portland Variety I think we're gonna get avocado toast. It's my favorite thing to get there. I'm at a book park. Also exciting. It looks so delish. We both got the same thing. Are you excited? Currently sketching out some rough drafts of some concepts for a new bullet journal video. So this is something I recently started doing is creating these pages and kind of just drafting out really roughly how the pages are going to look. Saves me a lot of paper and it's also really fun to do this digitally. I'm ready for the day. I think I'm gonna head out to Tim's, pick up a coffee and maybe a bagel. Go wild because I don't really have anything in my house. One might say I should go grocery shopping but I don't really feel like doing that either. After that I think I'm gonna try squeezing in a filming session for a bullet journal video. I'm also trying to get a survey done for one of my group projects because we need to have it completed and ready to share with people to fill in before next week. Really it should have been out a few days ago but we're doing a survey to get market research on Hudson's Bay Company. Hopefully we can get that survey today. You may have seen a post on my Instagram stories about it because I think I'm gonna ask you guys to see if any of you Canadians can fill it out. The more responses the better. I also have work to do on another group project today. I should probably also get started on my research for an essay that's due on Wednesday. Let's do it. This is my filming setup when I'm doing bullet journal videos. I have the two Dollarama boards. I have my island stools as a table. I have my horizontal tripod which is being counterweighted with a purse filled with tons of things so that my camera doesn't fall. I actually just upgraded my camera. I used to just be using the G7X which I'm filming with right now but now I have the Canon 80D with the Sigma 18-35mm lens. This lens is the love of my life right now. I am obsessed with it. I still use my G7X for all the vlogging stuff but any sit-down videos now or bullet journal videos are gonna look a little bit nicer because I'm using this sexy, sexy beast. I really need to replace these boards though because they're not looking too good. I've had them probably now for over a year. I've gotten a lot of use out of them but they, especially with the humidity in the air, there's no stopping this process, you know. I finished filming. I'm making some oatmeal right now because I am starving but I don't want to have anything too heavy because it's supposed to be a three-course meal tonight at the gala I'm going to. I mean it is gonna be a late dinner but I still feel like three courses is gonna fill me up. I'm trying out this instant oatmeal from Nature's Path Organic. I have never liked oatmeal before but since I started doing the quick oats for breakfast I thought let me try warm oatmeal again and see if now I can adjust to it and I tried this the other day and didn't mind it. This is the one pack right here but I'm gonna add some chia seeds, some hemp hearts and actually cut up some apple and put it in there. I may even put in some peanut butter just because I think this by itself is not enough but I know when I added the chia seeds last time it did like feel more substantial. I'm obsessed with these little scoops. This is what it looks like with the water added. I'm gonna also add some more cinnamon because I forgot that I did that last time. With the apple I live in it kind of looks like apple with a little bit of oatmeal rather than oatmeal with a little bit of apple but I'm excited. That's a real moment you just got. I was like thinking oh my god like why do I have to I'm going out on a Saturday night literally have an SID Wednesday that I have not started. Am I in the shot? Yeah. Oh no way. In your focus. Shut the front door. You guys want to see my dress? It's not on because I will spill on it. It's also not the right way but it is a size medium. This is the style burgundy if anyone is interested from 1861. That's not the lettering. That ain't it. There it is. Oh my gosh we're going to the gala. We are. We're gonna have a great time. I got my bra strap showing but that's totally fine. Maddie's looking gorgeous. Look at her dress. Do a little spinny through. Oh I feel like I'm going to have a problem. This is too long. Yeah both of our dresses are a little too long but we're dealing with it. My dress. Maddie and I got breakfast. Some orange juice. We each have a coffee going. These are beyond meat breakfast sandwiches. These are great. Yeah. Compostable? Compostable. Yeah they have compostable straws now. It's 17 right now. I just finished having my coffee. I also finished reviewing a video that's going to go up today. This is a student bullet journal video. I'm going to export it. Fun fact. I name my hard drives based off of Disney characters. Or that's something I'm going to start doing. This guy is named Chip after Beauty and the Beast. And this guy is named Gus from Cinderella. Gus Gus. I think I also have Ariel somewhere. It is now later on in the day. I am with coffee in my mug from, this is from Starbucks. If you follow me on Instagram you know quite the story about this mug. Just finished uploading a video. I also desperately need to clean my computer screen. The mission for the rest of the day is to actually work on my essay that's due Wednesday. How dare you make a noise. So I got to work on the essay. Haven't started it. Slightly concerned. But I got a video out. I got Dinner Monday out. I got an Instagram post out. I got everything that's not school related off my plate. So I'm succeeding in that area of my life. Not succeeding in the school aspect. Which is fantastic also. My hair is really just gaining some static as I speak here. Man you're eating and I want food. I'm making my notes on the Procreate app. I should be using this in GoodNotes but um. And I'm just, I don't know why I started doing this on Procreate. For dinner I am making the healthy, the wonderful macaroni and cheese. I don't usually have mac and cheese regularly. But every now and then I get a craving and I'm feeling that craving right now. Also essay writing is going poorly so I need comfort food. I am still writing this essay. It is 3 o'clock. My brain feels like it is going to reject all forms of anything after this. I did take a nap though. I'm on my second cup of coffee. So I'm just going to push through. I'm hoping, it's 3 o'clock now. I'm hoping I have this written by 5ish. And then the rest of the night I can just be editing and refining. Because I really don't want to be writing any later than that. And I don't think it will be good for the essay either. I'm also in leggings and a t-shirt. I feel like I've switched outfits like 5 million times today. Because I'm just like cold and then hot and then I just want something to do. This is a new jacket that I got for the spring and fall. Just a basic coat but it's from the Something Navy brand. Her name is Arielle Charnas. She's a blogger and she created this line with Nordstrom. And I feel like so happy to have supported her because she's one of my favorite Instagram slash just bloggers at the moment. Or has been for years now. It's a nice piece. I feel like it's going to be in my closet for a very long time. Okay, I have to go. I am running late to class. I made a spontaneous visit to Chapters and I am loving it. I'm really surprised that I haven't gotten something to purchase yet. Essay got submitted. Now I am making dinner. There's construction. I have a group meeting later tonight via Skype. And I'm also going to plan out spreads for April's Plan With Me. And then I think Adria and I are going to do Movie Night. She's not here right now but she will be here in that spot soon. This one was particularly hard because I did scramble to write it. It was worth 25% but I only started it about 3 days. Like writing 3 days before it was due. You know, it happens. In a perfect world I would have read all my sources, made notes on them, outlined like a week out. And then I would have drafted and drafted and drafted for a week. And would have ended up with a really great assignment. But more often than I'd like, it's a scramble to get it done. So it's a situation. Not the best system. But I got it done. So I'll say respondents seem to perceive HBC as a store that offers sales and promotions. It's neutral for the second one but it does stray positive to loyalty program. Trying to figure out the thumbnail for April's Plan With Me. I'm struggling this month. Can't decide between this one or this one. They look very similar and it's making it very difficult. So hopefully I can make that executive decision soon. And then it's almost noon now so I'll probably head out, go upload this. And then I have to board a train today because I'm going home for the weekend.
