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.

Hand me the Geritol

OK, so apparently at the tender age of 21 I am too old to go to the lodges. I've been saying this all semester, and after finally making it last night ... I was right.

"I just wanna daaaaance" basically sums it up. Seriously. All I want to do is dance. With my friends/by myself jumping around like a loon. I do not want to dance with any boys, espeically any freshmen/sophomores (sorry to the boy who looked like he was 14 that I ditched like twice last night. The first time all of a sudden all my gals were gone and so I just sort of ran away. And the second time it was during Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" and so I literally told him: "This is my jam. I have to jam out to it. By myself." He got the message.)

Maybe this just had to do with the fact that we were at SAE, the only lodge that was open, and I'm not particularly fond of that frat, and the music BLEW. Seriously, Black Eyed Peas was the only good thing in a sea of weird techno. All I wanted was my Rihanna, guys.

Watching guys and girls grinding, watching guys and girls making out ... hmm it was all weird and voyeuristic. Don't think I was drunk enough. Shout-out to the attractive black male who asked me to dance. Yes, he ASKED, instead of being a creeper and just grinding away. I turned him down, because after all, it was my jam, but I appreciated it nonetheless.

Oh, and my feet got really really dirty. Damn lodge floors. Direct quote from me as we are exiting the lodge: "My blister's acting uppp!" See, I sound like a grandma.

SPRING

Not to be cliche ... but Spring has sprung!

Ok, we have a beautiful campus but today it was just gorge! And everyone's breaking out the sundresses and sandals and seriously our school is like a freakin' J.Crew catalogue (and yes I'm inside blogging this I'm a loser, but I can't lie I'm slightly scared to be outside for long periods of time because I'm out of sunscreen).

Speaking of J.Crew - why are you so damn expensive, yet so damn adorable!?!

That's why I'm obsessed with Lands'End Canvas, just as cute, but at a cheaper pricepoint! Just wish it had a physical store but we can't have everything we want, can we?

Things I really really like:



This has a ruffle so I'm basically sold (I'm wearing a J.Crew vneck with ruffles right now what can I say I'm a ruffle fool).



Remember the time when yellow was so hot? Well, I think this dress could bring it back.



These are pretty much identical to the ones that J.Crew had last summer that I really wanted but couldn't justify spending so much money on them ... OK so these may not be any cheaper but I digress. They cute!

I definitely wore some Lands'End back in the day. I want to bring it back!

Back to the grind...

Well I'm back at Richmond after an awesome break at home!

Highlights: Watching the Oscars with Molly (I have a lot to say about the Oscars...but I won't. Except that they way they presented Best Picture was very very off).

Going on my first ghost tour in the French Quarter!

My first run on the neutral ground!

Lots of yummy yummy food (including oyster po-boys and my mother's crawfish etoufee!)

Lots of going out! Wahoos! I love Tulane bars! Especially The Boot Happy Hour, which I had brinner before, duh.

Just being home. I love home.

And I feel good about this second half of the semester. Lots of good things coming up! And I'm going to try and and stay on top of my work but check back with me in like a week and half...
