I decided that I need to take a break from blogging. As much as I love writing every day, nail polish, and all of you, I really need to concentrate on not failing miserably (which is still a distinct possibility). As I said to my friend Laura yesterday, it's better to over-freak-out than to under-freak-out. Right? Therefore a Short n Chic hiatus is in order. I suppose it's fitting that this is happening right after this blog's first birthday. I've had a year to get this thing going and I love how it has turned out. This blog is my baby. It pains me to let it go for even a little while.
BUT things, they are a-changin'. I want you all to know that doing this blog has been...awesome. If you want to keep in touch with me PLEASE shoot me an e-mail: sodejablue[at]gmail[dot]com. I would love to chat with any of you about...anything! I'll be back when I feel comfortable with how my life is progressing (which sounds totally vague, but that's how I'm feeling right now).
Thanks everyone. I'll miss you guys. Keep in touch! I'll still be reading and commenting on other blogs, so I won't be totally gone. Just a bit out of the loop.
Love, love, love,
Steff

We'll miss reading your blog for sure, but good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteDISLIKE! But, seriously, I understand the grad school freaking out. When I started grad school I felt like the demands on me and my time were insanely high, and I had no idea how I was going to handle it all. But after a month or two I had worked out how to handle all the things I had to do and I was having a great time! You'll get into your own routine and you'll truly enjoy devoting so much time to something you love. But come back soon, because we'll miss you!
ReplyDeleteaw, we'll miss you! good luck though! you'll do great :)

Wow, I just come back on your blog today after a 8/9 days internet hiatus (stupid technical problems) expecting to read tons of polish posts and it's to read that. Bummer. But on the other hand, I think that if you need this at that moment, you're doing the right thing. We can always chit chat anytime! You know I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteI will be glad to read your rambling when you decide to post again. Now relax and study well. :)
