The Verdict Is In On The Starbucks Holiday Drinks

    Target has finally started putting all their Christmas stuff up for sale so obviously I went at the first opportunity. We were there on Sunday and I forgot what month it actually was. I kept seeing fall stuff everywhere and I couldn't figure out why until I was so kindly reminded that there is a month before December and we still have to go through it. I love Christmas so much that my mind immediately switches to it on October 31st. I forget about Thanksgiving and the rest of fall. It's full-on winter wonderland, deck the halls mode.  
    If you don't follow me on any social media, you missed a great time on Sunday night. I spent the whole day decorating and I shared a video of the finished project which I'm totally over the moon about. Yes, I realize that was a cheesy sentence but I really don't care. The joy that I feel is too great to not describe with incredibly cheesy sentences. I'm hoping to post a video going through all of my holiday decor so maybe then you'll get a better understanding and share in the joy with me. I'm also going to try my hand at Pinterest so pop over there in a few days to see it all.
​    In other news, happy November! Now that I, you know, realize it exists. This week we started a new term so our classes changed. Luckily for me, two of my classes stayed the same and only two switched. This term, I'm taking creative writing and psychology as my new classes. My two classes that didn't change are English and Spanish. Kind of a full schedule but I don't mind much. So far, they've been pretty interesting. I think creative writing will be the most beneficial because I've been in a writing rut. I won't call it writer's block because I have ideas and I'm constantly thinking but I just can't seem to translate it onto paper. Some days, I'll sit in front of my iPad and just stare at it for a good hour or more. By the end, I'll have written a handful of sentences that I'll have written and ripped apart a thousand times. I can't help myself because I'm too much of a perfectionist on the first try. My teacher is trying to get us all to understand that first drafts are a thing. Our assignment last night was literally called "A Crappy First Draft" where we just wrote whatever was in our heads without stopping or correcting anything. 
    My only complaint about this week is that it won't stop dragging on. This may be published on a Friday but I've been writing since Monday. I can't wait for the final bell to ring. At 3:10, I'm out and I'm shutting my brain off for two days. I feel like the first week of the month is always like this especially when you're taking multiple new classes in the same week as well. Let's all pray that next week goes faster.
     If you didn't know, Starbucks dropped all of their holiday drinks yesterday and I got one just for this. I have thoughts. Let's discuss. My normal order is an iced white chocolate mocha with vanilla cold foam. The holiday drink that I ordered was a toasted white chocolate mocha topped with whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles. It is essentially the same as my normal drink except the beans are toasted, as the name implies. It was definitely much stronger but I liked it all and all. My only negative is that we didn't get the holiday cups. I don't know if it was just the location or what but I was very bitter about that. Tomorrow I'm hoping to try the peppermint mocha because although there were peppermint sprinkles, this drink really didn't taste different and I want the Christmas feeling! No matter what, I will get it.
    With that, I will leave you pondering all of life's questions. Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here next week for more holiday-centric discussions. Get excited because I am still going to post whether you're Cindy Lou Who or the Grinch!
