I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Mine was quite good. On Christmas Eve, I met the boyfriend's family (well part of it - his dad, stepmom, brother and sister). We went out to dinner and then to his parents' house, where the family opened Christmas presents. To my surprise they had presents for me! They gave me a book about Queen Elizabeth ( ( Read more... )

Snow snow snow. Currently the first somewhat heavy snow of the season. I love snow but today I am a bit frustrated because I was supposed to go over the boy's, but am instead stuck at home because I am terrible at driving in inclement weather. (Last winter I crashed my car in a snowstorm. It was quite bad ( Read more... )

OBAMA WON! OBAMA WON! OBAMA WON!!!!!!!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!

Oh and PS. I'm going to get back to writing in here again... soon.

Yesterday I had one of my best-ever moments of thrift store serendipity. On my way home I was about to drive by a Savers and decided to go in. Around five years ago I bought some nice slouchy tan boots from there, and while I love them they're getting quite worn out now, so I wanted to search for new thrifted boots. I headed to the shoe section and ( Read more... )

I am still loving school. What is it with me this year? I've disliked school for most of my life, other than when I had rare interesting classes. I guess now that I'm pretty far along in college, the classes get better! Which makes me absolutely thrilled to be in school. I'm especially in love with my writing classes. I have one fiction, and one ( Read more... )

On Wednesday I started my junior year of college. YAY!!! I don't think I have ever been this overjoyed to go back to school. Something about this summer just dragged and left me longing for school... now it has come and I am ECSTATIC. I even went overboard in my enthusiasm and signed up for six classes instead of the usual five, figuring I would ( Read more... )

As you may have guessed from recent entries - I'm rather determined to spend a considerable time outside of the US sometime in the next year... In high school I always wanted to study abroad in college and had visions of spending junior year in London or Paris. When I got to college, though, I realized that it's fearfully expensive (especially ( Read more... )

A cold and rainy day. A day for listening to the Decemberists, drinking chai and reading fashion blogs. Oh and going to work for a little while, but that's beside the point. I think there's been a hint of autumn in the air lately. But that might just be wishful thinking - autumn is my favorite season, so I always try to start it too soon. I'm ( Read more... )

Less than one month until school starts again! Yay. I'm excited but also nervous... I'm going to be a junior in college. That is quite scary. I feel worried because it seems like I have not made the most of the first two years of college. I haven't done anything ( Read more... )
