Top 5 Most Ridiculous Things I Can Think of Right Now

5. My head is too big to wear my new headband.

4. I'm not sure of the context but in my politics class the other day a kid in the back row (the same one who didn't believe that Citgo was a Venezuela-based company because his cousin owns a Citgo station in Chicago) decided that they should make koala burgers in China.

3. Walmart doesn't sell caffeinated mango tea.

2. An old boss of mine once made me fill out an accident report at work for stubbing my toe.

1. "Global warming"

The Feel of Fall

Well, it has been a busy fall so far! I wasn't going to update until I had something interesting to blog about so I'm winging this...

I love love my new roomie but she has to become a grown up in less than two months so we are trying to have as much fun as possible before she leaves.


I lasted about three weeks before I up and flew to California for the weekend. I like saying "for the weekend" because it sounds important. I pretty much just worked on my tan for a few days but I did get to see my friend who lives in Santa Barbara that I haven't seen in a few years and who, by the way, is getting married!! Congratulations :) Katrina and I managed to get COMPLETELY lost in Hollywood in the dark but that is all I am going to say about that...bad memory. It was well worth it though, I just wish Laura could have come too! This is one of the few pictures we took.



Besides Kiki-kins, my favorite thing about living in a house is that I get to cook for myself. I had pretty big ambitions in the beginning but I quickly ran out of resources and time to make nice meals. I did however manage to make my friends an Anna style fancy dinner one night that they said they all liked but I really know they were just humoring the new cook.




I haven't had time for very much because I am working a lot and my free time is spent in the studio getting ready for April...my SENIOR SHOW! It is going really well and I am very excited about some of the pieces I am doing. We don't have to have a theme but it is nice to have some sort of related tie throughout the pieces. I guess mine is something like, family/tradition/history/people. The show is supposed to showcase all that we have learned throughout our four years and it is all produced our senior year. A lot of the things I am doing are actually new techniques for me so, although it isn't exactly showcasing my skills, it is still mapping out what I have learned and what I am still interested in learning, if that makes sense. I'll post some of the pieces as I finish them up.

I am working early mornings at Target and it is pretty draining although I love the people I work with. They are mostly retired men and college students. No matter how much it sucks to get up at 4:00, they money is nice and I met my new friend Lindsay. We both had the weekend off for Halloween and went to a little party where we may have had a little too much fun ;)



Even though I am getting fat because I never work out and I am behind in every subject because I always work, I do manage to find lots of time for my Moonlights. I am living it up while we're here for one last semester because I won't always have the advantage of having them so close by.

It has been a whirlwind of a semester but I am glad to be here. I can't believe it is already the "holiday season." I registered for my last semester of classes EVER on Monday! Now I have to decide what I want to do when I grow up...more on that later. God bless.
