One Year Ago...

One year ago today ...

... I was halfway done with college

... my mom was helping me move out

... I was getting ready to leave for Beach Week

... I was so excited to study abroad

... I couldn't wait to get away from Richmond for a semester

Today ...

... one final stands between me and being a senior

... I moved all my stuff out by myself this morning

... (once again) am getting ready for Beach Week

... I miss studying abroad

... but I now love Richmond, and can't imagine going anywhere else for college

So as not to get too sentimental or anything - one year ago today I still had long hair!! Cutting it short = best decision ever.



My lovely friend Molly and I, who I get to see in a week! And my hurr - there was a lot of it.

I love ...

I was just thinking about the yummy D-Hall dinner I had tonight, which involved CARROT SOUFFLE!

Carrot souffle is one of life's simple pleasures (for me, at least), and it got me thinking about some other little things that made today special:

-The Disney station on Pandora

-reminiscing about Hanson with mah friendz at dinner

-seeing a rainbow (!)

-turning in a paper a day early

OK, maybe that's not such a "simple pleasure" but it freakin' rocks! Now only one paper and one final to take boo-ya!

Hi, Mom! See, I'm updating!

Tomorrow is my last class of my junior year! Crazy, no? At 11:45 tomorrow morning (well, let's face it, 11:48, because the professor always lets us out late) I will be dunzo.

Dunzo with class that is. Still have to write two papers, a final story and take a final.

And then it is Beach Week. What what can't wait! Let's hope I don't repeat the Stripe of Beach Week '09, however. Re-apply, people, re-apply!

(I googled 'sunburn' for pictures to post here to illustrate what I do NOT want to happen. Let's just say they all made me extremely uncomfortable, and so I will leave you with this picture instead:)

Goodnight, I am exhausted, I got 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night. It just hit me.

Epiphany

Life is uncertain, so eat dessert first.

Hence why am eating my red velvet frozen yogurt before I eat my so-called real food. Lovely.

Fun stuff from this weekend:

Yes I cried.

Going to bed real early last night. The best.

Have a lovely week! Let's hope that I get to do yoga in the morning!

Meh

I've definitely had worse days, much worse days, to keep this all in perspective. But today was just kind of nuts!

First of all, no yoga!! I know, after my ode to yoga pants yesterday, sheesh. But at least then I was up and about and able to run errands including filling up my gas tank and buying allergy medicine...

Because the pollen is freakin' EVERYWHERE. My car is covered in it (along with everyone else's on campus) and I stood in the girls' room for like ten minutes sneezing constantly. Luckily, the meds kicked in eventually but before that was not too pleasant.

Also - basically realized that between school and Collegian and beginning studying for the LSAT (eek!) I have got to get a tad more dedicated (and I'd like to dedicate more time to blogging as well). All without majorly sacrificing sleep. Hoo-boy ... only four weeks until Beach Week?! Ahhhh.

Also I hate both Visual Journalism and 'Moby Dick.' That is all.

Stupid white whale full of homoeroticism and many many pages...*

Have a happy Tuesday readers!

*I realize this image of a white Sperm Whale is ha-uge. But stupid Blogger changed the way pictures are uploaded...grr hence I cannot control their size.

Ch-ch-changes?

Listen to that David Bowie song, stat!

But notices any changes? Yes, new bloggy name! How did this come about, you ask?

Well last week in class, I realized that I don't know a lot of the other students very well. And so I imagined us going around and introducing little tidbits of information about ourselves. (Don't worry, class hadn't started yet - hence the daydreaming was not detrimental!)

What would I say?? I wondered. Well, I would say that I'm from New Orleans, I'm a journalism major, I am an Alpha Chi and copy editor for the Collegian ... and I really like country music and cupcakes. There ya go.
