the latest scoop

well hello again to my readers, as scarce as you may be! :)

i know i claimed i would post again after finals were over but it became a crazy month & i finally have more than 12 seconds to myself, so here is a very long & complicated compilation of the things i have done since December 5th.

1. I completed semester one here at Marquette with a solid GPA! woot.

2. I realized my favorite kind of people on planet earth are nerdy math lovers with no shame... like me.

3. After finals week was over, my roommate caroline and her boyfriend vincent stayed at my house for 3 days. His flight didn't leave until after the weekend so we decided to make an event out of it. this weekend included lots of laughs, driving, food, coffee, and SLEEP! they don't tell you how tired you will be after finals week. it was kind of insane. Here is a picture of vincent and pepper. I dont know why this happened.

4. After they both went home, I immediately started working. a lot! like.... a lot!

5. I spent lots of time with my favorite person on earth. :)

a little update before i hide under a rock until finals are done.

it's cold here!!

im pretty bad at decorating for christmas.

or maybe im pretty bad at having enough money to buy pretty decorations.

HAHA EITHER WAY THAT TREE IS AWESOME.

this happened & i don't know how....

i tried responding and it told me i couldnt. the aliens are probably after me.

stacey!

i saw the sunrise today. it was satisfying.

i promptly went back to sleep.

i became a pro snowflake maker!

this happened about 5 am last saturday night. sunday morning.

whatever.

hope all is well in your little world today,

posts will resume after December 14th. 

happy studying.

finals are coming...

brace yourselves.

want to see what my life is like?

oops did you say no?

sorry ive been away so long. 

here's a few weird things that have happened:

1. I DID A NO CARB DIET. it sucked. i will probably never do it again. but... yeah.

2. i finished midterms. what? yeah.

3. i visited carolyn in chicago! twice! #whoa.

4. my time at epic came to a close. sad. very sad.

5. i became very ambitious and am applying at a new school! it has a 7% acceptance rate. i might die just thinking about it actually. lets move on.

6. MY VERY GOOD FRIEND, STACEY, IS NOW HAPPILY MARRIED! she had a beautiful wedding and she looked beautiful and the whole experience was just real beautiful.

7. i went home and washed my dog.

8. RUSS CAME HOME! hi, russ. he showed me Dr. Horrible. you should probably watch it right........ now.

9. i almost lit on fire in my chemistry (lab? no. it was the) discussion. you can thank electrical engineering for that one.

thank you and good night!

weekends at college

This is my & my roommate, Caroline.

Happy debut on my blog, my love!

THIS is a very hilarious picture from the internet.

it has no intellectual or rational value whatsoever.

therefore: pure hilarity.

and THIS is caroline re-inacting:

freakishly similar, i know.

My sister came and stayed with us on Friday night, too!

twas her 15th birthday : )

enjoy the weekend!

xo

motivation

are you in need of a little inspiration this week?

i know i was.

i was finding that listening to my worship music made me REALLY not want to study,

so i bought this album on iTunes ($7.99, not too terrible)

and it seems to be just what i needed! :)

happy tuesday!

wait... it's seriously only tuesday...?

oh gosh.

dorm life.

...has been pretty chilly lately.

first college exam... check

SUCCESS!

this is me really excited that my first chem exam is over!

AND IT WASN'T THAT BAD!!

sorry for my awkward face.

home

so, this past weekend, I went home to see Cami off to the airport early Sunday morning.

(she's in Israel! Until December. Which is way too long by the way)

anyway, while I was home I realized I had forgotten a few things about it.

1. The water pressure in the shower doubles as a massage. & I love it.

2. I don't have to use all my might to open the bathroom door! The knob works like a charm (unlike the one here... many bathroom lock-in scares. especially for my roommate!).

3. I don't have to ask to turn off the lights!

4. I can visit Jesse at work when I want to.

5. There's no good place to do homework (hence the visiting jesse's starbucks).

6. There's a lot of food to eat.

7. I CAN TAKE NAPS!!!! whoa.

8. I have more shoes than I remember.

9. There's a dog that loves me.

life update.

So, College has engulfed me. what did you expect?

I do homework.

a lot.

i miss carolyn.

a lot.

the church bells ring.

a lot.
