DAYS 19 AND 20

Happy late Earth Day!

Day 19:

They had a big gathering on campus yesterday and this was one of the posters they had hanging up!

Day 20:
(i'm posting two picture for today)
These aren't pictures that I took (obviously), but today I was supposed to have my Access Lab Practical. I got in the lab, got my computer ready and was expecting the TA to walk in and tell us to go ahead and start; instead, I heard the fire alarm. Apparently someone pulled the fire alarm! We all had to wait outside and by the time we were able to go back in, it was too late to start the practical so it was rescheduled. Now I have the entire weekend to study for it!! So thanks to whoever pulled the alarm :)

So, I was sitting here just a few minutes ago really craving a kiwi. Kayla walked into the living room and I told her to go out and buy me one. She wouldn't (whaaaat?). I was SO shocked that she wouldn't go to the grocery store and buy me a kiwi! Anyways, she told me no and then said she had a surprise for me. I thought it was going to be a drawing of a kiwi or something, but she walked out of her room and threw me a kiwi! I was so excited and although I ate it in like .25 seconds, it was very delicious!

I found it at Kohl's. It's just so simple and pretty! It would go with anything, so why not buy it? :)

DAYS 17 AND 18

Day 17:

This is the first thing I saw when I walked in from school yesterday! He was just sitting in the crack of the couch looking around...so cute!

Day 18:

Today was the day I decided to find out what I have to make on my finals and assignments in order to get A's and B's. This year is not as bad as last year so, hopefully I'll have pretty high grades! Also, I have my Access Lab Practical this Friday, so I have to study 2 tutorials for that...boo

**Update: Since I finished Friends (the finale gets me every time, by the way), I decided (well Sara came up with the idea) to watch The Office! Sara and Kayla have watched all of the episodes and I just started last semester. Since I've watched some of them, I started this morning with Season 3 and it is definitely a good show to watch in the morning!

DAY 16

I PROMISE that pictures will start getting more interesting soon! For the rest of April, I have a ton of studying to do, but after that, I will go out and look for some interesting things to take pictures of.

Now, on to today's picture. Lately, I've been getting a lot of compliments on my earrings! I love them! I got them last semester at a little store called Francesca's when I was home one break.

Day 16:

UPDATES

Ok, I have some updates.

Shoes:
I saw another employee wearing Toms this Saturday at work, so I am EXTREMELY tempted to purchase a pair! I have the canvas color, but the black ones would be good for work and for just walking around campus. They are so comfortable, but I still don't know how they would do for a 8 hour shift...I might just have to try them out!

Television:
I am a very disappointing fan of Grey's Anatomy. I haven't watched it at all for the past couple of months! I'm hoping to get caught up before the finale though. Hopefully, it will be possibly after finals and all of my tests are done.
As of this morning, I have only 3 episodes left of Friends before I start over. For a couple of years now, I have been watching them in the morning while I get ready and I've probably gone through the entire series 5 or 6 times. On that note, I think it's time to start a new series. I'm thinking That 70's Show or Will & Grace...both would be very entertaining in the morning!

365 Picture Thing (i still don't know what to call it):
Technically, I only have a picture for Friday, not Saturday or Sunday. So this is what I'm thinking...the whole point is just to post a picture for every day...since I missed those days, I'm going to post a picture of something that happened or that I thought about that day :)

Day 13:
On Friday, a student organization was giving away free snow cones and cotton candy on campus! I took a picture, but I'm too lazy to go get my camera right now :)

Day 14:
I worked a 12 hour shift...not much was going on in my mind but Macy's, Macy's, Macy's...

Day 15:
For dinner, we had a delicious homemade pizza! This was one of them...the buffalo chicken pizza. The recipe is on Sara's blog My Fancy Tuna!

Movies:
This weekend, I really wanted to see Avatar. It was at the student center on campus for $1, but I just didn't have the time to go :( But, on Thursday, we did go to see Ferngully, which I have to admit was very strange. I think if I would have seen it when I was younger then I would have liked it a lot more.

Holgas:
I haven't had the time to upload my Holga pictures, but I'm hoping I'll be able to upload them sometime this week!

Sketches:
Cade wanted me to paint him so pictures of guns (no, not redneck at all!), so I decided that I should start by sketching them. I only have the outline of one of them done right now, but I'm going to try and finish it sometime this week. I will post a picture of it when I'm done!

I think that's all for the updates! Hopefully, I'll actually take a picture for today :)

PURE EXCITEMENT

The other day at work, I found out that I can wear strappy sandals! You don't know how excited I was! I thought I had to wear flats or heels (no thank you, i do not want to be taller than every customer), but another employee had on the cutest sandals. I'm very tempted to buy some, but I don't know which ones to buy that would be comfortable enough to wear for a 9 hour shift...decisions, decisions.
I was thinking about these (from Forever 21), but I don't really know how they would hold up. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for some really cushion-y, but cute black sandals!

P.S. Sorry for posting so much in one day!
P.P.S. This is my 50th post! YAY!

SO I'M THINKING....

Since I get a ton of random songs in my head, I'll just post them if they are unusual :) I know you are all thrilled to know that you'll be able to see what I'm randomly humming (and sometimes singing...something i know kayla looks forward to everyday) throughout the day. Today, I've had "Tik Tok" in my head for the first part and now, I keep repeating one of the lines from a song in Anastasia. I LOVE that movie, so having on of the songs stuck in my head is not something that I am complaining about!



[don't judge me... :) ]

DAY 12

I remembered to take a picture today before midnight! SWEET!
In honor of the rodeo that is going on tonight (at least i think its in honor of this) there was a bull in the middle of campus! I couldn't decide whether to take a picture of the bull or to take a picture of the egg drop competition we had in one of my classes (i cant believe that was for a college class), but the bull definitely won. The lady that was standing by him was just talking to anyone that would listen and she let everyone pet him that wanted to. It was so cute (is that an appropriate word?) the way he would turn his head when someone was scratching him :)

Day 11:

DAY 11

Tonight, we had another play date with Bella and Max. It went pretty good considering this is the second time they've been around each other!

Day 11:


I caught Bella in mid-action. She was more playful than Max, but he didn't really hiss at her that much tonight! Hopefully they'll become the best of friends soon :)

BLURBS 3

*Sunglasses. I love them, but then again, I really don't like wearing them. I see people walking around campus with them on and I've tried that, but I, for some reason, would prefer not to wear them. My main thing is that with sunglasses on, everything is dull. I like to see the bright colors and I really don't want tan lines around my eyes :)

*A few weekends ago, we watched Back to the Future, one of Kayla's favorite movies. It was pretty good! I had never seen it before so Kayla decided it was time for her to share her favorite with the roomies. Overall, it was funny and the only thing that really bothered me was Michael J. Fox's voice. His voice is just made for cartoons; you should be able to hear the voice, but not be able to see where it's coming from (that sounds really mean and i dont want it to, i just meant that his voice doesnt match him... :) ). Anyways, next movie to watch = Back to the Future 2!



*Sara, Kayla, and I also went to see Remember Me a while back and like Back to the Future, I liked it...a lot. I guess I have a thing about voices because, yet again, the main girl's voice kind of bothered me. I was later informed that she is Australian so she was trying to hide her accent, and in my opinion she didn't do that great of a job. When she had to yell something, I felt like she was talking super slow and her voice got super deep. Rob Pattinson, however, did a really good job. Some of his lines were pretty funny and he delivered them well. The other person that I really liked in the movie was Pierce Brosnan. He changed his accent to a thick New York one and you couldn't even tell that he's really Irish (well, in one part when he got angry, he lost his New York accent)! The storyline was interesting to me also even though it wasn't a major, dramatic story. One thing that I LOVED about the movie was the twist in the end. I did NOT see it coming at all and when I realized it, I was shocked! (I can also add this movie to the long list of movies that make me ball like a baby)

*So if you've read earlier posts, then you know that I am now a proud employee of Macy's! I'm first of all super excited that I found this job and second of all, I love it. In my department, I feel like I'm a personal shopper sometimes, which trust me, is not a bad thing at all. I didn't expect people to come in and ask me to help them find an outfit. I'm finally catching on to where all of the designers are and what they carry so this is slowly getting easier.

*Just recently, we found out that our roommate this year (the one that we didn't know coming into the apartment) is moving next year. Since we need another roommate, we asked a girl that Sara and Kayla know if she wanted to move in. In order for this all to work out, we had to set up play dates for her dog, Bella, and Kayla's cat, Max. The first one happened on Sunday and it was hilarious! Bella is HUGE and so playful while Max is small (not compared to other cats, I'm told) and he's playful only if he's not nervous. Well, imagine how nervous you would be if you had never seen a dog of that size try to play with you! She would get on the ground and try to play, but all Max did was sit on the chairs under the table and growl/hiss at Bella. Tonight, we're having the second play date so hopefully Max will remember who she is and they will be the best of friends!

*I know I've mentioned it before, but I get the most random songs in my head. Today while reading The Lovely Bones (which is weird, but in a good way) I started humming this song:



I just wish I knew why some of these songs that I don't even listen to get stuck in my head!

DAYS 8-10

So I'm not gonna lie. These pictures are not that interesting. Throughout the day, I never really think of taking a picture for my 365 Pictures thing, so I then end up taking one at night that is pretty boring. I promise I'll start thinking about it during the day and start taking more interesting pictures :)

Day 8:

Sunday, we stayed at the pool for a couple of hours. Then me and Sara went over to my brother's house and hung out over there until dinner time. We also had a little play date for Max and our potential future roommates dog (it went pretty good, were having another one tonight to see if they get along since theyve already hung out).

Day 9:

This is by far the most boring picture! Like I mentioned, I forgot to take on during the day and after doing school work then working, I remembered around 10. So this is my picture of my late night snack!

Day 10:

Yesterday, I had a ton of school work to do. It was such a pretty day outside, I didn't want to go back to the apartment and sit inside to study so I stayed on campus. So this is the spot where I sat for a very long time taking book notes and completing assignments!

I'm hoping for today's picture I'll get a cute one of Max and Bella tonight, if not then you'll be seeing another wonderful picture of dinner or something!
