monday blues.

I don't like Mondays anymore for the blatant fact that I have to get up early and spend 5 hours (8 hours total at school) in class.  So, I'm trying to think of a few things that will cheer me up when it comes to the start of the week...

Starbucks Adventure.  My addiction to coffee might as well be fun.  Every Monday, I'm going to go beyond my normal "hazelnut latte with soy, extra hot" and pick something new on the menu. 

The three hour window between my morning and afternoon class provides the perfect opportunity to get together with old, new and current friends for some "brunch".  

My college is located in the town that I grew up in, but no longer live in.  I drive about 21 miles each way to get there.  It has since grown by leaps and bounds and now has new shops for me to discover.  Since I am forced to stay on that side of town practically all day on Mondays only, it's the perfect day to venture out and find something new. 

Last of all, Mondays can be my "dress cute" days.  This is going to be the most challenging out of these all since I tend to aim for more sleep which gives me less time to get ready in the morning.  But, I'll give it a shot since days seem to be brighter when I feel confident about how I look.

Overcoming A Fear...

Just like anyone else, I have many fears in life.  Next Monday I will be facing one of them (and then the next five weeks I hope to overcome plenty of the others).

I have been making YouTube videos for about 2 years and blogging for only about 2-3 months.  Only a handful of people in my real life know about it, and even less faithfully watch/read what I post.  I actually do not mind that people from my "real life" don't follow my online antics.  But, next week, instead of creating a new channel/blog, I will be linking all of my friends and family here to follow my journey in Korea.  

The idea of that is really scary.  I am totally prepared to put a lot of my older videos to the private setting and go through old blog posts to ensure that they are not embarrassing and/or revealing in any way.  I have no idea what I'm really afraid of in this case.  Perhaps I think that people will make fun of me (it has happened before...for no real reason).  I'm always grateful for the people in my life who have been extra supportive (April, little brother, Christina, boyfriend) as well as the wonderful people I have met on the internet AND real life (Clair, Danielle).  

So, right now my main channel has 455 subscribers, my gaming channel has 800 and this lovely blog has a precious 25.  Next week, I hope to welcome some  new lovely, non-judgemental readers and viewers.  

How do you guys feel about sharing blogs, videos, etc with your friends and family?
