Happy Schooling

My book load this semester.  Let's just hope I don't have to take all of these to class everyday. (Yeah, did you see the three massive anthologies?)

But, I'm excited to not be working tomorrow!




"First day of school, here we go!  We're ready to learn, to get some knowledge."

Happy Burfday!

Today, I just wanted to wish my bestest buddy a Happy 21st Birthday!  

You are such an inspiration to me, and you remind me that it's ok to be silly every once in a while. (In fact, you've taught me that it's necessary!)

I love our trips to Ikea, Sweet Tooth Fairy, and Plato's Closet.  

I love that this has become our song.

I hope you know that I love you, too!  You are truly amazing, and I'm so happy we've been able to stay friends for so long :)  

Happy Birthday Hannah Banana!

It's Auuuuugh-ust

I can't believe school starts in less than a month.  There goes the summer; I barely had time to do anything fun.  My family is in Yellowstone this week. Yep, that's right. Without me.  Work is sucking the life out of me and won't even give me a break.  Such is life, I know. 

So, what's been going on with me? Nothing really. I'm working three jobs at the moment. I've also been picking up a lot of extra shifts so that I can pay for my stack of books I need to buy for the new semester, and hopefully, I will have enough left over to buy this toy for myself for my birthday. I'm such a nerd, and I love it!

Other than that I have, started running again, written a spazzy letter to a missionary I've never met before, been inspired to do some creative writing, ordered a new book from my favorite author,  and watched a stack of chick flicks.  Boring? Maybe, but at least I've been keeping myself occupied.

All in all, I'm ready for a change, but I just don't want that change to be school.  Can I just drop everything for once and go be with my family in Yellowstone?  Because that's exactly what I need right now.  Sigh, oh well.  Anyone up for a trip the week before school starts?

A Confession of Sorts

I'm quitting the 30 day thing. Sorry. I think I'm just going to accept the fact that I am a terrible blogger.

Now, let's move on to better things.

Day 06 - Favorite super hero and why

Honestly, I don't really have a favorite super hero.  At least not like Superman or Batman. I have what I like to think of as obscure heroes.  These heroes bring something to the table other than their shiny morals, good teeth, and super human abilities.

Shawn Spencer
His hyper-observant skills help solve murder cases, and he solves it with such panache.  He's really funny, and super cute - those qualities always make a great hero in my opinion.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione
I grew up with these guys - reading about them and watching them.  I don't think I need much more of an explanation.

Audrey Hepburn

She's my real-life example of a super hero.  I did a project on her in high school, and that's when I realized how amazing she was.  Before she got into acting, she lived in poverty with her mother.  What I love is that she continued to help people in hard circumstances  throughout her life.
