new room

i've mentioned recently that i bought a new bed and that i did a major room clean. and i finally got all the pieces of my new bedding today so here it is! my room is still way cluttered but it has been my room since i was 14, and i have a waaaay too small closet and no other place to store summer clothes, camping gear, skiis, all my teaching things, things for when i move out.... but the massive clean went well and i threw out a few bags of garbage and a ton to recycling and a few bags of clothes were donated too. but with getting a new bed ( which i absolutely LOVE) and some super cute bedding that i totally went all out with and bought a few extra decorative pillows and cute pillowcases (i'm now up to 7 pillows and a body pillow) i'm loving my room.

so there might be a change with eurotrip. there is a conflict with working another set of conferences this winter, so i'm still looking at going just in january for 3 weeks. most likely from jan 3-22nd. so i need to make plans fast as this is rapidly approaching. but i was just researching and from what i've found those 3 weeks are going to be the same as the 4 i was previously planning... so trying to figure it out and figure out where i want to go this time. i really want ireland, amsterdam, vienna, budapest & prague. and the order of travel i what i'm having problems.... grrr.

but i'm going to connecticut this weekend which i'm excited for! so yay for another fun weekend!

are you doing anything fun this weekend?
