"One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art."

Atleast that's what the tattoo on my right side tells me. It's a quote ripped straight from the lips of Oscar Wilde, one of my favored victorian playwrights, and I like to think that I follow it on a daily basis. My name is Courtney Walsh I'm 19 years old and currently attending Hofstra University, in Hempstead NY. I like to pretend that it counts as New York, New York, but the 30 minute LIRR train ride loves to remind me that is isn't so. Still it's only a stones through away from my favorite city, and (fingers crossed) future home. Anyway I've been meaning to start up a fashion blog, I tried earlier last year but got caught up in freshman year and it faded into cyberspace. I'll make a point of sticking to this one I promise, anyway I'm running on minimum sleep at the moment due to my RSR shift at 4:00am. For those of you that aren't aware an RSR shift involves sitting in a glass box and swiping people in when they misplace their college ID or have guests, or are just plain lazy and don't want to dig their card out of their pockets/purse. Anyway the 4:00am-8:00am shift pays the best and has little to no people coming through, meaning little to no work. (Because no sane/normal college student is up and about beetween 4:00am and 8:00am by choice, normally the bars lingerers wander in around 3:00am, and I personally feel that nothing good can happen to someone out and about at 2:00am and there after).

I've been working out quite a lot, every day sometimes twice a day, so I decided not to nap for an hour and to run instead. Then I have Class Journalism: Media Ethics, followed by Anthropology: Archaeology of the Living and Material World, followed by sketching the banner for my sororities carwash in the student center, then writing for Newsline 2:30-6:00pm anddd then my first Student Government meeting at 6:00 and then me and my Big Sis (sorority Big Sis that is I'll just call her Big here) are going to NYC for a FASHION WEEK PARTY! ( I could die of excitement) except I have nothing to wear since I lost my ATM card and it has yet to be mailed to me, I think I'm just going to wear a black Seven for All Mankind jumper with booties and long necklaces, ugh figures I'm living my dream in an already worn outfit, I pictured my first fashion week party outfit a tad more glamourous perhaps something by Alexander Wu? or Marchesa? Maybe even Chole. Oh well beggars can't be choosers hopefully I can be allowed to snap some good pictures, I'll look like a complete tourist but at this point since I'm already going to stick out like a sore thumb why stop, might as well play the part and enjoy myself.
