Growing up in Lynchburg, you would think that I would have experienced everything this place has to offer by this point. I mean, this town is pretty small (and despite what some might think, there's really nothing wrong with that). Of course, it did take 22 years for me to have my first T-room experience.. and I never stepped foot on Percival's ( Read more... )

During the week I wrote my last post, I was on one of the lower parts of my emotional roller coaster I've been on since April. I didn't have much going on during the week, little to no motivation, and seeing the final installment of Harry Potter made me miss Aaron and Rachael more than I had anticipated.

I really don't know how I'm going to make it through this whole week! I'm really looking forward to the middle of November when my busy schedule will slow down considerably.

Stone Mountain weekend was packed with fun, as expected. Shannon and I had a sleepover (yes, we actually slept) Thursday night and left VA at 6:00 Friday morning, much to ( Read more... )

 Somehow, I've managed to neglect updates for the past month. Perhaps it's because I haven't been in town for more than 3 or 4 days at a time before I go on another trip. Therefore, it seems another list update is appropriate.

1. In the first weeks of my residence, my new house has been inaugurated with many cousin bonding activities: slumber parties, ( Read more... )

Somehow I managed to skip through the whole month of April without realizing it. Here's a recap:
